Two Aussies in a boat build the Tower of Babel in a field in Kentucky...
No. It’s NOT one of my bizarre jokes. I wish it was. Since I am at a loss for words, at the moment, I'll let Ken Ham and Tim Chaffey give you their rationalizations in their own words.
Okay. Now Brace yourself for Ken's version of the truth.
Okay. So it is their intention to build a replica of the Tower of Babel next to the Ark Encounter in order to "boldly confront racist" ideologies. π©
Uh, Martyn. You're the CEO now and RESPONSIBLE for what goes on at Answers in Genesis, so what do you have to say about this?
Right, right.
Oh, I just remembered, you are beginning your new show in January called "Living in Babylon" and the photo you posted of your new studio has a picture of (wait for it) the Tower of Babel. So I suppose we can all guess what your take on this idea will be.π€¨
Just keep in mind that Lawyer-ly phrase you love to use so much, ...
"I can neither confirm nor deny ..."
because I suspect you are going to need it. (Although it isn’t going to work very well with Jesus)
Well, it looks like I found my tongue after all.
(And now I know why Jesus has had me focus on Psalm 45 this week.)
"I speak the things which I have made touching the king:
My tongue is the pen of a ready writer." (Psalm 45:1) ASV
Are you Americans going to stand for this?! (or any of us, for that matter).❓️❗️
"Well, this isn't a 'salvation issue', Laura-Lee."
Oh, it's not, eh? Well, considering how upset the LORD was the first time mankind built Babel and the worldwide consequences, I think it very much is a salvation issue! π€¨ (as in saving ourselves from God's wrath).
Listen. This isn't the President or the Government. This is a old science teacher with a twisted view of the Bible, an Australian Lawyer and a bunch of backroom millionaire investors trying to make a BUCK OFF the BIBLE!
Doesn't America πΊπΈ have enough problems without incurring the wrath of Almighty God? The first builders had, what they thought were, good reasons for building Babel back then too, but it STILL made God angry. Can you imagine what He will do about it the SECOND time around?
Go and read the entire AiG post for yourselves, then REread the account in Genesis (Link provided),
and then DO SOMETHING!!! Take some sort of action.
This is extremely serious, Folks. God is not going to abide with this and we need to make some noise about it.
"I say unto you, that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?" (Luke 18:8)
"From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth." (Genesis 11:9) Consequences of the first Babel.

And remember to include you are a Christian who believes the Bible is true, or they will delete your message immediately as just another Atheist who is persecuting them.

I'm not just making this all up. As CBN has also reported it. ❗️
UPDATE. January 19, 2024
For some time I've been pondering how Ken will build such a massive thing without the whole world knowing about it (and having a fit) until he can spread enough proganda and get more people on his side. I thought, "He's going to need a 'front' for all the construction".
Well, here it is!❗️ Something he is referring to as the "Welcome Center and Eden Teaching Center".
But, hey, no big deal, right?π€·♀️

"Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on
Glory, Glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on
I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps
His day is marching on.
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His day is marching on
I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel
"As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal"
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel
Since God is marching on
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Since God is marching on
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! Be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Our God is marching on
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free
While God is marching on
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
While God is marching on"
Amen. π
