With a massive ark and museum, he spreads creationism a century after Scopes trial. He’s not alone

Ken Ham and Answers in Genesis promote creationism today through the Ark Encounter park in Kentucky and the Truth Traveler attraction in Missouri and Tennessee.
This effort follows almost 100 years after the 1925 Scopes trial in Tennessee, where teacher John Thomas Scopes was arrested for teaching evolution and found guilty.
The Ark Encounter aims to demonstrate Noah's ark's biblical feasibility, while the Truth Traveler ride features creation, the flood, and Christ's resurrection as part of conveying biblical history.
A 2024 Gallup poll revealed that roughly 37% of Americans hold the view that a divine being created humans in their current form less than 10,000 years ago, while 34% support the idea of evolution guided by God, and 25% accept evolution occurring without any divine involvement.
Ham acknowledges that despite the Scopes trial's lasting impact on Christians' public image, continued projects seek to provide answers and promote the biblical creation perspective.
