This Christian cast doubt on pandemic experts by comparing them to Noah and the takedowns were brutal

John Plunkett. Updated May 21st, 2020

There was a phase a little while ago when it became quite popular to ignore expert opinion. We thought the pandemic might have righted that wrong but apparently not.

Well, not if you’re the Christian chap who went on Twitter – we hope it’s not too much of a leap to suggest he’s Christian – to say this.

As we listen to epidemiologists, it’s good to remember that the Titanic was built by experts, the Ark by amateurs.

And the takedowns were heaven sent.

If Santa Claus can deliver billions of packages in one night, then why shipping experts do the same?

Reactor #4 in Chernobyl was built by experts, while Iron Mans arc reactor was built in a cave by amateurs

8 people out of millions survived the flood. 705 out of 2,200 survived the Titanic.

From a survival perspective, the Ark was a shitty response to the threat.

Also, minor aside, but the Ark/Flood literally never happened.

The Titanic sank without enough lifeboats because the people who built it wanted to stuff as many paying customers onto the ship as possible https://t.co/0nu6uKLLWl

I think he's calling God an amateur.

In short, this.

Putting aside the fact that the "ark" is a made up story.

The reason so many people died aboard the Titanic was a lack of protective equipment and safety measures…Sound familiar? https://t.co/yrFeajE06v

He wasn’t leaving it there, but by then it was too late.

Lots of folks triggered about this “cute” little tweet aimed at getting a few laughs. They say the Ark never happened. Neither did the predictions of millions of Covid deaths by the scientific experts. https://t.co/cuOKUlhPlv
