An engineer named Rob Webb has been inspired by #KenHam to write a book about #space and the Bible. It doesn’t seem to have been written yet — he keeps posting articles on #AiG to tease the book, and he uses the future tense, that the book ‘will include’ stuff that he doesn’t actually explain yet.

The Creation "Museum" is a $27 million amusement park located in Petersburg, Kentucky, USA just a few miles from Cincinnati, near the Kentucky-Indiana-Ohio tripoint, which should tell you all you need to know. Ken Ham, president of Answers in Genesis (AIG) founded it and it is devoted to the young earth creationist idea that "The Bible is true from Genesis to Revelation!" — that is, in complete opposition to the scientific consensus and basic logic.

The Ark Encounter is a $102 million amusement park in #Williamstown, #Kentucky; it features "a full-size Noah's Ark, built according to the dimensions given in the Bible", the world's third such structure, or, to be more accurate, "a boat-shaped building held together with riveted steel brackets". Ark Encounter opened in 2016 amidst controversy and chaos, as per usual for anything involving Ken Ham and Answers in Genesis.
