- Ark Encounter celebrates its tenth anniversary with a life-size Noah’s Ark replica featuring dinosaurs to support a 6,000-year-old Earth belief.
- The park functions mainly as evangelical propaganda, reinforcing a narrative of religious persecution among its visitors.
- Following a 2005 court loss, efforts to introduce creationism into public schools have largely ceased within the Christian right.
- Claims of victimhood help maintain evangelical unity and secure ongoing support for attractions like Ark Encounter.
No one asked your opinion.— Ken Ham, Ark Encounter founder, in response to Cincinnati Enquirer reporter Jolene Almendarez, telling her to shut up and saying she has no 'expertise in science'.
