Ken Ham Blames Williamstown, KY (Again) for Impeding Ark Encounter’s Success
July 3, 2017 by Hemant Mehta

Whenever a newspaper publishes an opinion piece lauding the great work being done by Answers in Genesis, you have to raise an eyebrow and wonder what’s going on…

In this case it’s rather easy. You might have predicted it the moment Ken Ham wrote “Thanks to @Enquirer (Cincinnati Enquirer) for publishing opinion piece re impact of @ArkEncounter on tourism.”

Ham, of course. He wrote the article. And it includes all the deflections of responsibility that we’ve come to expect from him.

For example, Ham predicts attendance at Ark Encounter will grow in its second year. But only on one condition…

Quote:

As both the Ark and museum add phases, the economic impact will only get larger. For 2017–2018, Answers in Genesis (owner of both attractions) confidently predicts that the Ark will have even greater attendance than our excellent first year — provided, that is, we see more entrepreneurs building additional hotels to accommodate our visitors.

Endquote:

A few weeks ago, he was blaming atheists for the economic failures in the community. Now he’s blaming people who aren’t building enough hotels in the area.

By doing so, he creates a new scapegoat. If and when Ark Encounter fails, he’ll just pin it on the entrepreneurs, not anything he did (or didn’t do) personally.

1. It's too bad the area can't afford any economic encenties to those entrepreneurs

But some grifter came along and gobbled them all up for himself.

5. What a perfect opportunity for the Trump brand

Vlad's Eastern Orthopedic church teaches the ark myth too. Maybe the Oligarchs could prop up the ark encounter.

6. Maybe they could sleep on the Ark?

sounds (and from a video posted here) like it is pretty empty

7. This would be the very same Ken Ham who claims..

- there were dinosaurs on the ark.
- NOTHING has been or ever will be found to contradict the Bible.
- Creation is the only viable model of historical science confirmed by observational science in today's modern scientific era.
- Bible-believing Christians who oppose same-sex marriage are not discriminating
against homosexual people—they are taking a stand on the authority of God’s Word.

Makes my head hurt to think any of this crap could live in a human brain.
