ONTARIO –Recently a mainstream media anchorman made inflammatory remarks belittling conservatives and evangelicals alike. According to one Ohio pastor, comments like these do not hold water in the shadow of one of the largest tourist attractions in the region.
NBC News Commentator Chuck Todd is facing a storm of criticism after reading a letter-to-the-editor claiming “religious people who believe in ‘fairy tales’ like Noah’s Ark support President Trump because they ‘want to be lied to.’
Pastor Les Vnasdale of Ontario Cornerstone Grace Brethren believes Todd’s comments about religious people are dwarfed by the region’s Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum.
“I have visited the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter several times. Both of these destinations clearly validate a flood of evidence supporting the Book of Genesis. The evidence presented there are by some of the brightest men and women in their respective scientific fields.”
According to Pastor Vnasdale, “The Museum has displays which appeal to everyone, from the young to the old. I highly recommend parents take their children and pastors bring their congregations to visit these two outstanding vacations spots.”
In an effort to persuade more families to visit, the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum, will be offering free admission for children ages ten and under in 2020.
Both located in the Greater Cincinnati area, the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum feature “instructive high-tech exhibits, state of the art videos, and an ever-expanding zoo.
“Now more than ever, we need to teach our children the truth about their Creator, His handiwork, and His Word. This free admission for children ten and under will make it easier for families to come time and time again in 2020 to our uplifting attractions.”

Well-known apologist and CEO of “Answers and Genesis” Ken Ham wants families to use his attractions to teach children about their creator. “Now more than ever, we need to teach our children the truth about their Creator, His handiwork, and His Word.
“About one-third of the Creation Museum is brand new, including our fantastic Special Effects 4D Theater and new striking exhibits on Biblical authority. And at the Ark, we’re holding many concerts, conferences, and presentations inside the 2,500-seat Answers Center.”
In November, the Stargazer Planetarium upgrade began moving to laser projector technology and will reopen in March 2020. This renovation will feature a dramatic increase in brightness and resolution. New acoustics and a new tilted dome will also be installed for better viewing experiences from every seat.
In addition, the Creation Museum will be adding a new exhibit named Fearfully and Wonderfully Made (from Psalm 139:14). This pro-life display will challenge the culture regarding the abortion issue with the truth from God’s Word. Beautiful three-dimensional models will show the development of a child with fascinating information from anatomist, Dr. David Menton.
“I would be happy to answer any of Chuck Todd’s objections,” says Ken Ham. “Sadly, I doubt Chuck Todd has ever researched the account of the Ark and the Flood and therefore has no understanding of genetics, speciation, and geology concerning fossil layers. It is easy for reporters to sit behind cameras and make mocking statements. Todd’s only research is quoting a letter to the editor from someone without knowing what expertise they have.”
In regards to the Ark Encounter in person, Pastor Vnasdale is amazed at the largest timber-framed structure in the world.
“The Ark is breathtaking and brings the Bible to life; its size astounds me every time I see it. There is no question a Bible-believer will find his faith strengthened by the Ark Encounter, while an unbeliever visiting will find his skepticism challenged.”
