Noah's Ark Theme Park Plans To Only Hire People Who Believe Biblical Flood Actually Happened!

FILE - In this July 7, 2011 file photo, Mike Zovath, co-founder of Answers in Genesis ministries, poses for photos at the Ark Encounter headquarters in Hebron, Ky. The ark will be the centerpiece of a proposed $170 million religious theme park that has been approved for $40 million in taxpayer-funded incentives. A state tourism board gave preliminary approval on Tuesday, July 29, 2014, for up to $18 million in tax rebates for the proposed full-sized replica of Noah's Ark as described in the book | ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ark Encounter, which is slated to open in 2016 in Williamston, Kentucky, is not hiring anyone yet, but its parent company Answers in Genesis asks employees to sign a faith statement including a belief in creationism and the flood.

Also from the article:

State officials and Ark Encounter lawyers have exchanged letters in which the state threatened not to proceed with tax incentives for the park if there was discriminatory hiring practices, a state official confirmed on Wednesday.
