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.
Ken (Ham) is telling us that it is fine and dandy to rebuild Babel because he has completely different motives than the original builders.
"so that we may make a name for ourselves;" (was their reasoning and motivation) (Genesis 11:4)
Let's take a look at Ken's motives. π€
He says it's to be an example of what NOT to do. Also it is to "confront racist ideologies". Not to COMBAT them, just to "confront" them. (whatever that vague term meansπ€·♀️)
He's spending MILLIONS in Donations and MILLIONS in Tax Payers money via Government funded subsidies to build Babel as a Cautionary example of what NOT to do. π€¨
π©π©π©π©π© (That answer gets a 5 out of 5 Doo-doos)
Ken's motives are EXACTLY the same motives as the original builders. So that EVERYONE will know the name of KEN HAM.
With one added benefit. Ken is going to add even MORE MILLIONS of dollars to the already many of MILLIONS he currently has.
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.
LINK Genesis 11 Babel in the Bible
Below is the LINK to contact Answers in Genesis. Scroll past all their Yada, Yada garbage (which is designed to deter you from giving them feedback) to the Form at the bottom of the page and let them know how you feel about them rebuilding 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.
UPDATE May 30, 2024
Those of you who contacted AiG to express your indignation have made an impact. They have put their PR strategy to push their PRO Tower of Babel propaganda on hold and started hiding their Babel building (even though construction is going full steam ahead next to the "world famous" Ark Encounter) from the public by doing other projects (Welcome Center, Eden Teaching Center, Jerusalem model, Biblical Plants Arboretum - the excuse changes depending on whom you're talking to and when).
Therefore you need to also tell them on their Contact Form
"I will not support AiG until you come out and publicly state you will stop building the Tower of Babel".
If you have already sent them a message don't hesitate to send them another to include this updated statement. It's okay to be an annoying,,opinionated Christian about this because the stakes are so DESPERATELY High. (no joke intended).
Godspeed.
Oops❗️ I missed this one. The new "Zoo Expansion".
(They got some kinda major building Smoke Screen going on at the "world famous" Ark Encounter") π«£
π«π«π«π«π«π« But where there's Smoke there's FIRE.

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€·♀️
