My "WTF?" of the day, creationist Ken Ham division...



Creationist Ken Ham: Dinosaurs fought gladiator battles against humans and giants



(Ark Encounter diorama featuring a gladiator battle between humans, giants and dinosaurs)

Creationist and Christian fundamentalist Ken Ham believes that in ancient times humans and dinosaurs co-existed with a race of giants and they all did battle with each other in gladiator-style combat.

Huffington Post’s Ed Mazza said Friday that Ham tweeted an image of a new diorama in Kentucky’s “Ark Encounter” theme park that features humans, giants and dinosaurs battling to the death in a Roman-style arena.

One can make up anything now and it can be classified in the category of "facts" under the "alternate" section.

If you take out the crazy Christian aspects of this, how bad ass would it be to see a movie about gladiators, giants, and dinosaurs!

They want to believe this crap, it makes them comfortable, and so Ham makes a lot of dough selling them fake facts.

There is gold to be made in those lies...
