bold mine... just one question, so where are the dinosaurs now if they were passengers? Ok, there are a lot more questions about that article! This dude is a complete lunatic.

Quote:Ark Encounter Has Been Bad News for the People of Williamstown, Kentucky
Ever since Creationist Ken Ham opened Ark Encounter, nearly a year ago, skeptics have been sounding the alarms about how bad a deal this is for the people of Williamstown, Kentucky. And not just because of the fake “science” it presents to children and gullible adults.
When Ham and his team at Answers in Genesis were looking for a location for their $100 million attraction, they pitched it as a way to create jobs. One projection (from the state) said Ark Encounter was “expected to annually generate… a minimum of 3,000 new full-time equivalent jobs.”
Unfortunately, those jobs turned out to be available only for people who agreed to Answers in Genesis’ fundamentalist Christian worldview. Even wannabe janitors had to agree the Earth was only 6,000 years old and gay marriage was an abomination.
But the tourism aspect of all this hasn’t panned out either.
While Ham hasn’t released any official attendance numbers, we’ve heard a number of anecdotal stories about the lack of people there in the middle of the day.

The least he would get, according to the bible, is a change in language that no one currently speaks on earth. Unfortunately, with the linguists we have on earth it would not be long before we understood him.

Are you sure? He speaks English now, and nobody understands him. Not sure a new language is going to help.

So, true. Religious fundamentalism is a perfect example of laissez faire, free-markets -- where there are suckers, there will be someone to con them.
