Ark Adventures (children's books)

[matthewr88]

Hey gang,

My wife picked up a couple of these inadvertently from our local library for our 5 year old...

My favourite is the one called "too-slow tortoises" where Noah collects 2 giant tortoises from the Galapagos islands, which I think is just a hilariously pathetic attempt to contaminate the facts of Darwin's time there. So that should a child at a later date read or hear of Darwin they will have conflicting ideas in memory and struggle to find the truth. Obviously they've had to do this at the expense of contaminating they're own character by turning him into what I can only describe as a stereotypical American tourist, only lacking a camera slung round the neck and a couple of hundred extra pounds. My son saw this intentional error straight away. Plus he and "Mrs Noah" use a rubber boat to move the animals as they are "too slow". I love that on one hand they are obviously following the intelligent design line, but on the other hand that same designer had made them too slow. Yep, focus on their speed, but not the differing length of the neck of the tortoises on differing islands due to evolution. I'm going to make a concerted effort to teach my son about Darwin's time there, and it should be more simple than the convoluted bullshit of the bible.

It is fiction. We can enjoy fiction as well as facts.
