Is Noah’s Ark Theme Park Taking on Water?
By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz June 22, 2017
“But I will establish My covenant with thee; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons’ wives with thee.” Genesis 6:18
As the one-year anniversary of the Noah’s Ark Encounter theme park draws near, critics of the park clammer that it has failed to attract crowds and the taxpayer money used to finance the project was ill-spent. Its founder, Ken Ham, has struck back against the allegations, accusing the media of an anti-religious bias and “hating God”.
The park, located in Grant, Kentucky, required five and a half years of planning and construction and over $100 million to complete. At the heart of the project was an ark built to Biblical proportions, constructed entirely of wood. Public funding and tax incentives were granted since the project was supposed to bring tourist dollars to the area.
The park, as its Biblical centerpiece suggests, is not merely a money-making venture. It is an offshoot of Answers in Genesis (AiG), a ministry founded by Ham. In essence, the park is a large-scale, 800-acre, lesson in Young Earth Creationism, the belief that the universe, Earth, and all life on Earth were created by direct acts of God less than 10,000 years ago, precisely as the Bible describes.

Is that good thing or bad thing
2 Peter 3:3-9
3 Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, 4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.” 5 For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water, 6 through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water. 7 But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
8 But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. 9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

Ministry Takes Back 'God's Rainbow,' Despite LGBT Threats
Todd Starnes
7/20/2017
The man behind the world-famous Ark Encounter has decided to reclaim "God's rainbow"—announcing the massive ark exhibit will be permanently bathed in rainbow lights.
"We now have new permanent rainbow lights at the Ark Encounter so all can see that it is God's rainbow, and He determines its meaning in Genesis 6," Answers in Genesis founder Ken Ham announced on Facebook.
"The rainbow is a reminder God will never again judge the wickedness of man with a global flood—next time the world will be judged by fire," he said.
The 500-foot-long ark is the centerpiece of the biblical theme park based in Williamstown, Kentucky. Hundreds of thousands of visitors have toured the replica of Noah's ark.
"The ark is lit permanently at night with a rainbow to remind the world that God owns it and He decreed it's a sign of His covenant with man after the Flood—Christians need to take back the rainbow as we do at the Ark Encounter," Ham said.
Critics denounced the decision—accusing him of stealing the rainbow colors from the LGBT community.

Atheist group warns over 1,000 school districts not to take kids to Ark Encounter; Ken Ham responds
By Samuel Smith, CP Reporter
One of the nation’s leading atheist legal groups has sent a warning to over 1,000 public school districts telling them not to take field trips to Answers in Genesis' creationist attractions in Kentucky.
The Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation, which claims 31,000 members across the U.S., announced Tuesday that it contacted school districts in five states warning them that field trips to the Ark Encounter or the Creation Museum would be a violation of the First Amendment’s Establishment Clause.
“Public schools and public school staff may not constitutionally organize trips to the Ark Encounter or the Creation Museum or any other religious venue,” a letter from the nonprofit’s co-founders to schools reads.
Although the organization previously pressured schools not to organize field trips to either of the Answers in Genesis venues in 2016, FFRF felt the need to send the latest round of warning letters because, it says, Answers in Genesis founder Ken Ham continues “to encourage public schools to plan field trips” to the venues.
...
Ham responded to FFRF’s announcement through a blog post in which he asserted that it's not unconstitutional for public school districts to hold field trips to the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum. He added that admission will be free of charge for any public school district that plans to take students on a field trip to the Ark Encounter or Creation Museum.
“As leading civil rights attorneys will tell you, if classes tour the Ark or museum in an objective fashion to supplement the teaching of world religions, literature, interpretation of history, etc., the field trip is an educational experience," Ham continued. "Now, if students were brought to the Ark or museum and told by their teacher that the religious content should be accepted as truth, then we would acknowledge that the Establishment Clause of the Constitution, as currently being interpreted by the courts, would be violated.”
