Kentucky Announces Creationism Theme Park

riverat1 writes "On December first, Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear announced that a creationism theme park is expected to open in 2014. Park developers are seeking state tourism development incentives and could receive up to $37.5 million over a 10-year period. Gov. Steve Beshear said he does not believe the incentives would violate the principle of church-state separation because the 14-year-old tax incentives law wasn’t approved for the purpose of benefiting the Ark Encounter. The park will have a 500 foot replica of the Ark with live animals on it and a Tower of Babel explaining how races and languages developed. The park will be turned over to Answers in Genesis after it is built. They are a non-profit organization which may allow them to discriminate in hiring on the basis of religion."

...that the park actually evolved from lower forms of parks, each being incrementally better than the previous park.

It is just a rumor.

To be fair, there's no evidence at all that evolution has ever occurred in Kentucky.

I agree with you. They're not only creating jobs, they're creating jobs for stupid people, which is the hardest kind of job to create.

Whats the point in going to a theme park where all the rides consist of closing your eyes and covering your ears with your hands while yelling.
