Media reports from around the world have focused on Kentucky in the days following the announcement of the Ark Encounter project. Scores of publications such as The New York Times and The (London) Independent have covered the story.
Headlines such as “Kentucky creates a theme park of biblical proportions” and “Kentucky Creates 900 New Jobs—By Building Noah’s Ark” are appearing in Internet searches and at newsstands across the globe.
Answers in Genesis founder and president Ken Ham has written a Facebook post entitled, “A tale of two newspapers,” which describes the anti-Christian agenda that was apparent in an article in the Louisville Courier-Journal, as opposed to a Daily Mail (from the United Kingdom) article that presents the Ark Encounter project as a real news item.

Facebook Question of the Week
Our weekly Facebook question comes from Charles B., who asked, “How did you estimate the type of village (buildings, homes, workplaces, environment) people lived in before the Flood?”
According to Ark Encounter design director, Patrick Marsh, the village buildings are based upon what we find after the Flood. “Walled cities were prevalent after the Flood,” says Marsh. “What the buildings were made of depends on the region—whether they were made of stone or brick, but we have a good idea of what these ‘city-states’ might have looked like.”
Great question, Charles! Thanks for asking.

I saw this on the nightly news and my family and I were stoked to see attention being brought to this God honoring project! We are excited and hope to make a trip out there to Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum! May God bless your work and provide for every need.
Louisville Courier-Journal should be celebrating the news of C.M project at the very least because of the 900 new jobs .
Liberal newspaper can only see and write darkness when the light shine on them .
I am so excited about the Ark Encounter coming to Grant County. It will be just down the road from me. We need more biblical and spirtual events for families to visit. Thank you for all your hard work in creating this honor to the one of the best biblical events and my family and friends are praying for everyone who is and will be involved in the construction of this creation and I hope for a great success from everyone all over to be able to attend in 2014!! GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU!
