The Christian Right XIX An Afterword 89

And how does the Christian Right do business? How to they treat each other in a business relationship involving something they as a group believe in? “I rest my case” with these links...

Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear and Answers in Genesis, builders of the Creation Museum in Petersburg, will unveil plans for a new Northern Kentucky attraction Wednesday in Frankfort.

The theme park, to be called Ark Encounter, will be in Grant County, KY, near the Veterans Cemetery.
The attraction is envisioned as a full-scale wooden ark that would include associated museums, theaters, amenities, event venues and outdoor parking.

Preliminary indications are that the attraction could draw as many as 1.6 million guests per year and would cost at least $24.5 million to complete.
