Ken Ham's Kentucky Noah's Ark Project Construction Launches

With permits in place and other necessary elements in place, excavation on the long-promised Kentucky Noah's ark project is now under way. It is scheduled to be opened sometime in 2016. The location of the project is in Grant County in Northern Kentucky.

Ken Ham, most recently noted for his debate with Bill Nye the 'alleged' Science Guy, is heading up the project. Ham leads the ministry Answers in Genesis.

The ark itself will be built in exact proportion to the ark as it is described in the Bible. It will be 510 feet long, surrounded by a variety of other attractions of interest to families, including a petting zoo. Overall the project will entail about 200 acres.

Since the announcement the ark was going to be built in 2010, the project timeline fell behind donations, which resulted in delays.

Millions of feet of lumber will be needed to complete the overall project.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers approved of a stormwater permit in July, clearing the way for construction to begin.

Also part of the ministry is the Creation Museum that was built near to Cincinnati, and has attracted over 1 million visitors since opening in 2007.

Bill Nye, Evolution Theorist Coming to Kentucky to Debate Creation Museum's Ken Ham

Bill Nye, the self-proclaimed "Science Guy" will be coming to Kentucky to debate Creation Museum founder Ken Ham in Petersburg, according to Ham.

Nye has a propaganda show under the guise of science which he uses in some cases to try to persuade little children the world wasn't created, but simply evolved. He calls it science even though it has been proven time and time again that all evolution is, or every will be, is a theory put forth by those that don't believe in Jesus Christ in order so they don't have to obey Him.

Parents teaching that God created the universe and world have been blasted by Nye as doing them a "disservice."

Nye once said in a video produced by Big Think, that "If you want to deny evolution and live in your world that's completely inconsistent with everything we observe in the universe, that's fine -- but don't make your kids do it. We need them. We need scientifically literate voters and taxpayers for the future."

So let's get this straight. Nye is a TV personality using his platform to teach a theory that has nothing to do with observable science, and then says creation is "completely inconsistent with everything we observe in the universe." Observation of the universe actually confirms and proves the existence of Jesus Christ, as the Holy Scriptures teach. For that reason none will be with excuse when they face Him on judgement day.

People can order tickets for the debate on Monday, January 6, for $25.00. It will be held on February 4 in the museum's Legacy Hall. The debate is scheduled for two-and-a-half hours.
