attendance projections and economic impact of the project are so overblown that it will never be able to pay back its debts. What makes you think this is actually going to succeed and won't frick that city in the arse royally for a long time to come?

There's a whole different thing in identifying with Christian and identifying with Ken Ham.
I know plenty of Christian families here that are turned off by his representation of the Ark story and won't be taking their kids there. And are pretty embarrassed by the whole deal.

They aren't? Why the constant barrage of television programming concerning the subject?
Also, how many times a day/month/year do people try to convince you to believe the genesis story as factual? Not as many as your wadded panties suggest, i'm sure.

I'm pointing out the flaw in his argument. Believing in a literal ark is stupid, but thinking that man would not be capable of building a similar structure is even more stupid because there is actual evidence proving that it is wrong.

While I can see how a regional flood in Mesopotamia evolved into the Noah story, did they have to bring the dinosaurs? I think the dinosaurs are more damaging to science than anything else.

I think you misread the picture. It said "A man" not just "man" IE Noah couldn't pull it off by himself. Of course it "could" be done with monumental human effort and mass resources but that isn't what the Bible says happened now is it?

And you think this is a new trend in young people? This was true of the boomers, my generation, and now millennials. Young adults tend to be non-religious. This has been the case for decades. But what you are failing to realize is that as these people grow older, the percentage of them that do identify as Christian tends to go up. If it didn't this country would not be anywhere close to 77% Christian as it is today. In short, the rumors of Christianity's immanent demise are grossly overstated. This country will remain majority Christian for the foreseeable future.

Bill Nye practices about as much science as a fricking palm reader.

Serious question- what is his ark story that turns them off? Does he not follow the Biblical account?

The internet will kill religion in just a couple generations. Instant access to information and outside opinions to a younger and younger audience. Just my opinion of course. Indoctrination won't be possible like it used to.

It's not even close to being a new trend. Even if you and I live to be 120 we'll still live Ina country that's majority Christian. And more to the point of the business, the several states around it will be overwhelming Christian.
What's going to keep this place rolling in money for years will be not just single family visitors, which there will be plenty of those. But also there will be church groups, particularly youth oriented groups andChristian school field trips as well from all around the region.
I'm not here to defend this guy's religious beliefs or argue religion. But I will say this guy has tapped into a massive vein of revenue for decades to come.
