With a massive ark and museum, he spreads creationism a century after Scopes trial. He’s not alone
SUMMARY: The Ark Encounter in Williamstown, Kentucky, is a massive, literal replica of Noah’s Ark, built to promote a young-Earth creationist view that the biblical flood story is historically true. Founded by Ken Ham and his organization Answers in Genesis, the theme park and the Creation Museum argue against mainstream science, advocating for a 6,000-year-old Earth and biblical creationism. Despite widespread scientific consensus supporting evolution and an ancient Earth, polls show a significant portion of Americans still support creationist beliefs. The project is part of a broader cultural and religious effort to defend biblical literalism amid ongoing debates over science education and religious freedom.
