Check out this painting. Specifically, look at what's wading in the pond on the left, and flying in the air to the right.
Spot the tyrannical king and win a cookie.
According to the salespeople:Hot off the painter's canvas is the first ever 'authentic Noah's Ark' painting by artist, Elfred Lee. 4500 years ago Noah's ark carried its precious cargo to safety. Now the most accurate and beautiful depiction of that event ever painted is released, exclusively, through Bibleland Studios.

| Cool sounds like something I should buy!!!! How much is it? |
What came first the chicken or the egg?
How do plants exist without bugs in the soil, and bugs in the soil without plants producing oxygen?
There are no atheists in foxholes
Underlying the evolutionary theory is not just the classic "stuff" of science — conclusions arrived at through prolonged observation and experimentation. Evolution is first an atheistic, materialistic world view. In other words, the primary reason for its acceptance has little to do with the evidence for or against it. Evolution is accepted because men are atheists by faith and thus interpret the evidence to cor-respond to their naturalistic philosophy.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. II Timothy 4:3,4
II Thess. 2:11 And for this cause God shall
send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
You can not see the 'wind', but you can see its effect!!!!
Evolution was caused by genetic mistakes at each stage?
Radical Evolution has 500 million years to find fossils of fictional drawings of (hard core)missing links, yet they find none.
We have not seen such moral darkness since the dark ages, coencides with
teaching evolution in schools. (Moral darkness)
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places, EPH 6:12.
"Thus, many scientists embracing naturalism find themselves in the seeming dilemma recently articulated by biochemist Franklin Harold: "We should reject, as a matter of principle, the substitution of intelligent design for the dialogue of chance and necessity [i.e., Darwinian evolution]; but we must concede that there are presently no detailed Darwinian accounts of the evolution of any biochemical system, only a variety of wishful speculations."

Ah, I see. Looks like a brachiosaurus (or similar) and pterodactyles. But you also see another anachronism, that is the guy wearing a shirt, carrying a book. I doubt those things existed 4500 years ago. But then again, this is a painting of a myth. They claim it to be accurate; how would they know...? They don't even know it didn't happen. |

What!??!?!??! Dinosaurs on Noah's Ark? So that's where all those fossils come from  . Man, looking at this, I almost chocked on a cookie. Notice the velociraptor (sp) and trex next to the central tree.
It is accurate in a way; notice how the carnivores dont eat the bunnies etc. Or that Noah (afaik) doesn't save any plants, trees, instects, fresh water fishes, etc...
Is it just me or does many of the humans look strangely familiar? I think I see a Starr Jones looking woman, next to a Britney Spears like girl. Guess who wont be on the ark? |

| Panda's Thumb has a message pointing out the legend for the painting. Note that the guy in the modern-day shirt with a Bible (!) under his arm is not numbered. And this is supposed to be an accurate desciption of the Ark before the Flood? |

I noticed that there are African elephants, Indian elephants, and a Mammoth. Since this is an accurate account of the flood - we have a little more information on what a 'kind' is.
I also noticed that on the right side of the picture one of the ostriches has it's head stuck in the sand. So I guess before the flood they actually did stick their heads in the sand. Imagine that!

LMAO - so the flood killed the dinosaurs? Didn't God tell Noah to bring two of every animal? So Noah disregarded God's command. I'm sure he's burning in Hell today for that screw-up. |

Actually, I rather like it. It's a nice picture and if it didn't have the DO NOT PRINT on it, I'd use it for wallpaper.
Can I get an honorable mention for pointing out that a wooden vessel that size would break up from stresses sitting unleveled and not chocked on the ground? Also, I thought the modern double-faced hammer in Noah's belt was a nice touch.
Edited to add: Y'know, the thought just occured to me; what with one thing and a lot of others, this painting just might be a very subtle spoof. Damn! now I like it even better!  |

Are you implying that Dave's lack of a sense of humor has caused him to miss a very funny, very sarcastic joke? Just the fact that this has been called into question reflects strongly how bizarre that painting is. |

It has the same artistic cheesiness of the stuff that appears in virtually all Jehovah's Witness literature. Where's the Australopithecus afarensis? Surely it's in there somewhere.

I think some of the crowd on the lower left took a wrong turn on the way to a Dead show. Still, a breath-taking I mean mind-numbing piece of art. |
