The Beavers on Noah's Ark
I get so many questions about LBC as I go about Freehold every day. While we are a Christian community, I can assure that tucked in among our Jesus-loving citizens are some skeptics.
When I stopped by the Senior Center for coffee yesterday one of the skeptics, an older woman, raced over to challenge me with her newest bogus argument that the Bible is not the True Word of God. It was, "If there really was a Noah's Ark, with animals of every kind on board, why didn't the beavers gnaw through the wall of the ark and make it sink?" She did not know I have been asked that question before and consulted our pastors. I told her, "Noah pulled some teeth before the beaver pair went on board." Seeing the defeated look on her face made my day. |

Re: The Beavers on Noah's Ark
Excellent Biblical exegesis Mayor Hold. I often find that atheist try to challenge our faith by attacking the idea that there were really two of every animal. They simply can't accept that one ark contained a pair of pandas/unicorns/Australian Aborigines/giraffes/polar bears/llamas/velociraptors and so on. I even had one Darwinist ask me where Noah fit the humpback whales - fish didn't need to get on the ark dumbass.

I always wondered why the dragons didn't burn the Ark. Apparently Noah fed them a lot of Alka Seltzer.

Re: The Beavers on Noah's Ark
I always thought that Noah kept the beavers and unicorns above the waterline. I didn't realize that the beavers had a dedentition process. It should have been obvious to me that this was the case as a workplace safety issue on The Ark. Were the 2 unicorns dehorned to prevent inadvertent damage and punctures to the sides of The Ark when they swished their heads? Or were the unicorns thrown overboard to prevent more damage to The Ark? Maybe that's why there is a severe lack of unicorns these days, compared to all the other animals on The Ark. There's still plenty of beavers, depending on where you look.

The unicorns remain a mystery. Perhaps they were eaten by Noah and his family or fed to the lions. They would have presented a safety problem for sure. |

Re: The Beavers on Noah's Ark
I never liked beavers. They're hairy and smelly and wet and full of diseases. Disgusting!

Re: The Beavers on Noah's Ark
This is a reminder that even though summer is winding down, there is still time for a drive to see Noah's Ark in Kentucky. Seeing the Ark reminds us of both God's mercy in saving Noah and his family but also God's wrath at drowning a couple of million sinners.
I want to mention to people planning a trip to the Ark Encounter they should disregard negative reviews. So many people, even Christians, complain about all the items for sale in and around the Ark. Visitors do not have to buy these souvenirs, even though taking something home will remind one of God's message to Noah and His message to sinners.

Re: The Beavers on Noah's Ark
Of course, Noah pulled the beavers' teeth. He was a True Christian™ who didn't care about woke animal rights!

Then Noah ended up a cheap drunk, lying naked in a tent. Maybe the pressure got to him. I'm reluctant to regard him as a True Christian™, mainly because there are some problems with the timeline between the death of Noah (at 950 years old!), and the Birth Of Christ sometime later. However, if Noah could remove teeth from a beaver, then he had some admirable dental skills, and that is what he should be remembered for, and not his fondness for the grape. Phil |

Family Dining | Ark Encounter Then, if they bought the cheapest tickets into the Ark it would be only another $180. They would have arrived close to God for only $250. It would be wise for them to buy the extra features for only $100 more. If two families from Iowa shared a car and motel room the entire trip would hardly touch their budgets.

Nick Fish, national program director for American Atheists, complained: “If they want to spend tens of millions on something like this, it’s up to them although we think they’d be better served helping the homeless and feeding the hungry”. Narrow minded atheists like Fish can't see how flagship projects, such as a replica Ark, a $400m Bible museum, a Holy Land Experience theme park in Orlando FL, etc., give so much more back to the community than boring food and shelter. Jesus isn't famous because He was a nice guy, it's because He did amazing miracles! That's what drove in the customers and made Christianity a success. Present day national leadership celebrities are humbly plowing Jesus' furrow. |
Re: The Beavers on Noah's Ark
Brother Dennis,
I realize it isn't a short jaunt from your hotel to the Ark Encounter, but wouldn't a stay in your Godly establishment coupled with a Bible Bus trip to Kentucky make a wholesome and profitable experience for guests? $500 per person seems fair. $700 with extras and a sack lunch prepared by the womanly participants. Perhaps bologna and mustard. Guests could chip in on gas via an offering plate. Consider it and perhaps I could preach on the way there and back. |

EDIT: Forgot: I see an opportunity here for a Christ-centric accommodational chain to emerge, perhaps even headquartered in Kentucky. Happy to contribute in any way. Quote:

There is, for example, a mockup of the on-board living quarters. Noah wanted to reward his family members for their hard work building the Ark so he outfitted them with nice digs. You can see in the picture what appears to be a Persian rug on the floor. In the middle of the living room, just where you would expect to find a nice coffee table, there it is, a coffee table. It has a drawer for putting away serving items. For Noah to build something with such detail back before there were power tools meant Noah wanted some of the finery his family expected. The coffee table is as nice as anything one could buy at the Walmart in Williamstown, KY, three miles away. There is an educational piece to the Ark as well. That is why schools like Freehold dismiss classes to send their students in the Ark Encounter. Children learn why God sent the flood. The sins people were committing back then are studied. Was it bad?? Yes. Why would God kill millions if it was not bad? Best wishes to all who visit the Ark this fall. Exhibits | Ark Encounter |
