I don't like that they received tax breaks. At least they later got in trouble for it.Creation Museum in Kentucky
What do you like or dislike about the Creation Museum in Kentucky?
I don't like that they received tax breaks. .
I said nothing about it being scandalous. I don't think it is; I just don't think they should have had a tax break to begin with.And the owner has a dog and a cat instead of just a dog.
Here is what Forbes says about it -
Ark Encounter Local Tax Scandal Not Very Scandalous
I hear it's the Creationist equivalent of Disneyland.What do you like or dislike about the Creation Museum in Kentucky?

Ya, especially when presenting mythology and passing it off as science at the publics expense.
Any claim about the nature of the earth is a scientific claim. The flooding of the plane is a scientific claim that can be tested."That" is the tax issue? The Ark Encounter claimed to be presenting mythology and wanted a tax break for it?? Did they claim that Creation is "science fact" ?
I have not read all of their material.
Any claim about the nature of the earth is a scientific claim. The flooding of the plane is a scientific claim that can be tested.
When Genesis describes the the presence of light prior to the existence of sun and stars--do you think that reflects scientific reality?Indeed the claim that it was created in a seven day week is a claim about the facts of the history of planet Earth - in this case a claim about the origins of life on Earth and the existence of Sun and Moon as well as the geography and atmosphere of Earth.
I would never doubt that obvious detail.

From 370,000 years until about 1 billion years. After recombination and decoupling, the universe was transparent but the clouds of hydrogen only collapsed very slowly to form stars and galaxies, so there were no new sources of light. The only photons (electromagnetic radiation, or "light") in the universe were those released during decoupling (visible today as the cosmic microwave background) and 21 cm radio emissions occasionally emitted by hydrogen atoms. The decoupled photons would have filled the universe with a brilliant pale orange glow at first, gradually redshifting to non-visible wavelengths after about 3 million years, leaving it without visible light. This period is known as the cosmic Dark Ages.
