Bill Nye is quite upset over Noah's Ark in Kentucky

quote:

Science educator Bill Nye took a tour of a new Noah's Ark attraction in Kentucky that he has called a danger to the nation's science education.

Answers in Genesis president Ken Ham invited Nye, best known for his 1990s science TV show, to visit the Ark Encounter on Friday.

The Christian group says the ark is part of its ministry that teaches Old Testament stories as true historical events.

Nye toured the ark with his own film crew and the pair engaged in an unscheduled debate discussing creationism versus evolution in front of hundreds of people.

and apparently he's not the only one who's upset...





BTW, since when does tax incentives meant to entice new businesses into an area equal "tax payer funded"? This park was built using private funds and is on private property. Giving tax incentives to a start-up business does not equal tax payer funding. The exhibit is expected to bring two million visitors in it's first year which is the whole purpose of states giving these incentives. The state gives a new business a tax break up front knowing they will make up that money and a lot more off the follow on tax revenue stream generated by that business operating in their state. How is this difficult to understand?

And if they don't like this exhibit, why try to get it shut down instead of simply not going there? Is this place really hurting them that badly?
