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."

Why do they need $35mil? by PORNorART · 2010-12-03 06:16 · Score: 1, Troll

Why can't God just create the park? I mean a theme park is a lot simpler than a whole race of people.
Maybe if God wanted a creationist theme park he would have created it himself?
