The Ark Encounter & an Act of God


Ark Encounter, Kentucky

 
It's curious how some stories rise from the dead on the Internet, including this one from a couple of years back. It is rather amusing that a biblical ark exhibit would sue an insurer for water damage coverage which was refused because of an "act of God." I wonder if the conservative Christian owners, who have dinosaurs on their ark, acknowledge climate change and its effects? 

Years ago there was a Noah's Ark theme park in the Ottawa Valley called Logos Land but it went under, so to speak, and the ark became a restaurant. 

Here is the revived article which is making the social media rounds:

Williamstown, Ky. — In the Bible, the ark survived an epic flood. Yet the owners of Kentucky's Noah's ark attraction are demanding their insurance company bail them out after heavy rains caused nearly $1 million in property damage.

 The Ark Encounter says in a federal lawsuit that rains in 2017 and 2018 caused a landslide on its access road. The lawsuit says the road has been rebuilt. The ark was not damaged.

The Courier Journal reports the attraction's insurance carriers refused to cover the damage, however.

The 510-foot-long wooden ark has been a popular northern Kentucky attraction since its 2016 opening. Answers in Genesis, the company that operates the Ark Encounter, also operates the Creation Museum in Petersburg, which opened its doors in 2007.
