CBS Mocks ‘Ignorant’ Noah’s Ark Attraction, Wonders Why It Was Built
(Worthy News) – CBS This Morning reporter Mark Strassmann on Thursday offered a sneering, condescending look at a new biblical theme park attraction in Kentucky. Speaking of the gigantic Noah’s Ark Experience, Strassmann dismissed, “Nothing like it built before. But critics wonder why it was even built at all.”
Using the liberal reporter dodge of “critics say,” Strassmann attacked the man behind the modern ark, Ken Ham: “What do you say to critics saying this is not the truth? This is not scientifically based. This is promoting an ignorant view.”
A CBSNews.com version of the story also included the charge that the theme park is “ignorant.”
But some critics see the ark as a celebration of ignorance. Others complain employees have to be Christian and sign a “statement of faith” — and believe the ark’s $18 million in state tax incentives trampled the line between church and state. But a federal court allowed it. [ Source ]
