Creation Moment 2/3/2016 - Victory for AiG/Ark Encounter in Federal Court

"In a victory for religious freedom in America, a federal court today issued a preliminary injunction
against the Commonwealth of Kentucky for unlawfully blocking efforts by the Ark Encounter theme park developer, Answers in Genesis (“AiG”), to participate in the Kentucky Tourism Development Program. The federal court found “that the Commonwealth’s exclusion of AiG from participating in the program for the reasons stated – i.e., on the basis of AiG’s religious beliefs, purpose, mission, message, or conduct, is a violation of AiG’s rights under the First Amendment to the federal Constitution” (p. 70). The judge has ordered the state to move forward in processing AiG’s application for the available tax rebate incentives that would become effective after the Ark opens and is operating." AIG
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,
and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him,
and bless his name.
