💨 Abstract

In northern Kentucky, Ken Ham's Ark Encounter, a full-scale replica of Noah's Ark, aims to prove the biblical flood story literal and defend young-Earth creationism. Self-described as the world’s largest timber-frame structure, the theme park features lifelike exhibits supporting a 6,000-year-old Earth and God-initiated creation. Ham's stance aligns with a significant portion of Americans holding similar beliefs, despite overwhelming scientific consensus on evolution and deep time.
