KENTUCKY--A campaign to
build a $24 million replica of
Noah's Ark near the Ohio River, across from Cincinnati has stalled, and so the project's founder
Ken Ham @aigkenham hosted a
Media Event this week with
Bill Nye the
@TheScienceGuy to debate "
Creationism." Originally scheduled to
open in 2014, the "
Ark Encounter" campaign added just $2 million since
last February to reach
$14.39 million (42% short of goal). The campaign needs a major push to close the gap, so this past
week's debate with Bill Nye; coming on the heels of the release of a
bestselling new book; and an upcoming Hollywood film "
Noah" should all help. [

"Today, over 270 cultures retain distant memories of that 'life-changing event'" writes Ham's AIG team about
Noah's flood. "The details have been lost, but most of the legends share common themes: Man became corrupt; the Flood was worldwide; eight people survived; representatives of all land animals were saved; a dove was released to seek dry land; the survivors came down from a mountain to re-populate the whole world, and so on."
