He's easily as qualified as many that pontificate on various scientific topics.
Funny to see them constantly redefining exactly what it takes to be qualified in a field of science. The guy is directly involved in geological research and they just can't admit that very smart people out there believe in the Bible.

But keep trying. I know atheists desperately want to see this park fail which is really sad and pathetic.
Actually, its not sad and pathetic, but a legitimate desire to ensure that people, especially children, are exposed to what is true instead of made-up stories and claims.

Or at least what you guys believe to be the truth, right?
Looks to me that this ordinance was put in place after the park. We all know that in this small town, Ken is the only one affected here. It sounds to me that the city is the one trying to pull a fast one demanding a huge payout after Ken had already built the Ark. The city is getting their money from Ken, and attendance has been quite successful this year. Ken reported 8,000 visitors on Saturday.

It has failed...
The Ark isn’t saving its hometown from an economic flood.
A local Kentucky lawmaker said the evangelical Ark Encounter theme park hasn’t had the ripple effects on its home county that it promised.
Grant County, where the 510-foot-long recreation of Noah’s Ark from the Bible is located, is facing bankruptcy, according to local reports.
The Ark Encounter opened in July amid criticism that the theme park, which teaches a creationist theory, was receiving tax breaks from the county.

Oh, attack, attack, attack. Your delusions of persecution are showing again, Jeff.
Ken is not the only person being affected.
Everyone in the city of Williamsburg is required to pay the tax if they charge admission.
Ken Ham charges admission to his facility, so Ken Ham must pay the tax unless there are compelling and proper reasons that he is exempt -- which does not include conveniently selling his business to skirt the wording of the law.
I'll quote again:
Quote:
The fee shall apply to every admission within the City for which a charge is made.
Every admission -- not 'Ark Encounter admission fees', not 'Ken Ham must pay' -- every business in Williamsburg must pay the admission tax.

Was there a promise made? DId they make a quid pro quo promise that they'd directly provide a ripple effect and if they didn't then taxes could be imposed?

Then stop teaching the lie of evolution in public schools. You have no proof that men came from primates and not God.
