More Than Just Freakazoid Stupidity: The Ark is a Fraud

Media Czech is still all over it.

When Steve Beshear announced his plans to give $37.5 million in tax breaks to a group so that they can build a theme park telling kids that humans rounded up dinosaurs onto a boat several thousand years ago, he said that a "feasibility study" showed that "Ark Encounter" would bring in 1.6 million visitors and over $200 million in it's first year. Sounds great, huh? Here's what Beshear's press release said about the study:

A feasibility study by the renowned America's Research Group has indicated that the Ark Encounter may attract 1.6 million visitors in the first year and is expected to employ up to 900 full and part-time staff.

Turns out the "renowed" America's Research Group is owned by a guy who co-authored a freakazoid book with none other than Ken Ham, the perpetrator of the Creationuts Headquarters of Intellectual Child Molestation and the con artist behind the Dinosaur Ark.

But the feasibility study is as scientific and objectively true as the Dinosaur Ark itself, I'm sure.
