“The Ark Encounter is one way to bring people to this recognition of the truth, that what we read in the Bible are actual historical events. Kentucky officials are smart to enthusiastically embrace the Ark Encounter, and the millions of tourists the park will welcome to the area from every viewpoint, race, color, religion and creed. Answers In Genesis aims to encourage critical thought and respectful public debate about the various attractions and ideas that will be presented at its park, and that is the beauty and essence of free speech.” – House Speaker Mike Johnson, who in 2016 worked as the Ark Encounter’s lawyer to snort up millions in tax breaks. The Ark Encounter displays exhibits claiming that God created the earth no more than 6000 years ago and the humans and dinosaurs lived alongside each other. Johnson is a columnist for the Ark Encounter’s website and regularly appears at its events. Johnson has interviewed the Ark Encounter’s lead creationist, Ken Ham, while guest-hosting hate group leader Tony Perkin’s podcast.
