Ken Ham is the president, CEO and founder of Answers in Genesis, the highly acclaimed Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter which is set to open in 2016. Ken is one of the most in-demand Christian speakers in North America. About 7-1/2 years ago Answers in Genesis opened the Creation Museum in northern Kentucky. Before they had actually opened the museum they already had a strategic plan regarding what they had planned on doing next. One of the ideas was to build a life-size Noah's Ark with walk-through exhibits. Ken indicated that phase one of the project is under way and the ark will be open next year.
