Ken Ham commissioned a company named "America's Research Group" to produce a feasibility study for the construction of his theme park for biblical literalists — I'm sure its conclusion that the park would bring in 1.5 million visitors and $200 million in revenue was a factor in convincing the Governor of Kentucky to embrace the idea.
Only there's a catch. America's Research Group is run by Britt Beemer. Who is Britt Beemer? Oh, look: the feasibility study was written by Ken Ham's personal friend, coauthor, and fellow fundagelical kook.
This wasn't an independent study at all. It was by a personal ally with multiple ties to Ken Ham.
I don't know about you, but I smell something rotten.
