Ken Ham's ark sinking?

Looks like Ken Ham's hiring practices resulted in his tax incentives being put on hold, putting his Ark boondoggle in jeopardy.

They'll make it through. I watched the video of the scientist walking through the Creation "Museum" the other day, let me find it...
This guy is completely and utterly flabbergasted by what he finds... the Ark Encounter will be no different.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Headline could also read "Anti Discrimination Law could cost the state 54 million dollars over the next 10 years!"
The whole point of the incentive is to help them build the tourist attraction....to attract tourist and tax their purchases.

The creationist scientist should realize that science is looking at the world....and theology is looking at the world. Both are looking at the same thing so there should not be any contradictions between science and theology at all.

One thing about science is that we know a wooden boat made to the specifications listed in the bible wouldn't float. It would tear itsself apart and sink.
Scientists and theists both look at the world, but one draws conclusions based on evidence, and the other looks for evidence that supports their conclusions.

Both are looking at the same thing so there should not be any contradictions between science and theology at all. Theology is almost exactly NOT looking at the world, or any observable thing in it. That's why theology reaches different conclusions than science. Come one, dude. Between you, me, the Bible, and the T-Rex in my back yard-- something's fishy, isn't it? You'd think that if 4-meter tall dinosaurs were stepping on people's huts and eating their sheep, that eventually they'd make their way into scripture, wouldn't you? "Verily I say unto thee, thy Velociraptor hath no place in the House of the Lord" or maybe: "The Lord, in His anger, sent a plague of pterodactyls to vex Pharoah, but He did harden his heart so that he said, 'Not even flying fucking lizards will cause me to set free the people of Israel.'" You know, something obvious, like that?

Maybe Kentucky has just figured out a way to shed this leech's dependency on it? Fucking jesus wasn't much of a banker!

Yes. The one finds out shit, and hedges what he says to avoid overreaching. The other makes shit up as he goes and does not recognize any limit to the scope of his bullshit.
There should be no contradiction between them.

I guess he disbelieved what the interest rates say about his ability to remain solvent as much as he disbelieved what Radioactive decay rates say about the age of the earth.
