Like I said, they are monuments to stupidity and they're showing the world the crazy things they believe. Like how the Creation Museum showing humans and dinosaurs living together when we know there are millions of years separating them.
Precisely. On the one hand, it infuriates me that they manipulate the hard work of scientists to tell a BS lie of a fable, but some people clearly see it for what it is (my wife and sister-in-law were drug there by their YEC dad, and it didn't convince them of anything other than it was fucking crazy). And that makes it useful, as long as it remains affiliated with religion.
The ark would be even better for this though. Because it will require stretches of the imagination and distortions of reality and questions about god, that will be far more relevant and easier to comprehend to people. Not everyone knows how a fossil forms or the amounts of time we are talking about and how to envision that much time. But the ark deals with water, a boat, and animals. People will clearly get that on a more basal level.
