For the benefit of any of you who yet may have the privilege of raising one or more youngsters,I acquired a copy of "Raising Freethinkers" for guidance in educating the six-year-old that lives with me. It's wonderful how fast she can pick things up, well, except for the stuff that she strews around the house.

Because the Ark replica IS education for the state's children. 
Yes, it will teach them how stupid and preposterous and unsupportable creationism really is.

I will never get over the tendancy of a certain kind of Christian to buy anything or anyone that's ostentatiously Christian enough.
At least we Mormons try to aspire for a better class of kitsch...

...Since when are tax breaks to a privately owned amusement park featuring a 500 foot by 75 foot replica of Noah's Ark more important than the education of the state's children?
Obviously followers are more important than thinkers.
Non-thinkers make better followers.
Yes they do, which is why that type work hard at destroying our education system. They want,....demand..blind followers.
A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side. Aristotle
Never discourage anyone...who continually makes progress, no matter how slow. Plato..
