Ken Ham is trying to game a tourism poll in Kentucky — he wants his followers to vote for his crappy “museum” as the best museum and as the best kid-friendly attraction in Kentucky. I think we should vote for Big Bone Lick State Park as the best museum, but that poll asks you to enter a zip code — I don’t know if they’re only going to accept Kentucky resident’s vote. I went ahead and voted anyway, since I have visited both the AiG frauds and the state park, and even if I hadn’t, I’d know that the Creation “Museum” and Ark Park are pretty much bottom of the barrel roadside attractions.
In the kid-friendly attraction category, the Ark Encounter is up against the Louisville Zoo, which is an insane match-up. Really, does Ham seriously think his pathetic fake boat is of a caliber that can stand up against an accredited, science-based zoological garden? I cast my vote for the real thing. I will be very disappointed if Kentucky blesses the stupid lie and con game of Answers in Genesis.
Go ahead, make Ken Ham disappointed instead.
Both of these polls allow you to vote every day this month, which makes them bogus from the outset, so neither are going to be very meaningful.
It’s easy to find the zip code of the Creation Museum.
The poll is coming from inside the house . . . !!
When you ddg “creation museum”, a Tripadvisor sidebar shows up that has: .
I realize that calling it a “Fake history museum” is probably not going to fly, but couldn’t they at least have gone with: “Supernatural history museum”?
John Scalzi’s review (almost 20 years ago, gads) will probably not be used by Tripadvisor.
@3: Ah, that photo gallery brought back memories of the day Spouse and I spent there, in company with PZ and a bunch of students, almost that long ago. Has Ham’s Folly updated its displays at all, in 15 years? (Guess: probably not — it’s not like they’ve got anything new to say, unlike a real museum might).
The Newport Aquarium is an excellent nearby attraction that deserves votes. And visits.
