Fair enough.
And Answers In Genesis is a non-profit organization.
And ark encounter llc is a for-profit business.

Apparently it says the park is for profit, and managed by the AIG non profit. They say they pay all appropriate taxes by law for merchandise sold and tickets.

It's owned by ark encounter, llc. A for-profit business. And the park itself is a for-profit business. They do pay all the taxes they need to by law. That doesn't mean they aren't tax exempt. Being tax exempt means just that. They don't have to pay certain taxes. The others they still do.

You're just trolling now.
Last week the head of Europe's lunar missions said a DNA library might belong on the Moon. "It would act as a mini Noah's Ark for repopulating the Earth after a catastrophe," explained Bernard Foing, chief scientist with the European Space Agency, in a telephone interview with SPACE.com. "It would be a second chance." The notion echoes one that has been slowly developing over the past few years in the United States. The Alliance to Rescue Civilization (ARC) advocates a "lunar sanctuary" to preserve Earth's whole record in case the planet is destroyed.

You really have no idea what you are talking about. I live in this region of the country and everyone is excited to have this new family friendly attraction nearby. It is a really positive thing for the region and it is something I think is neat (even as a non-religious person) to have nearby.
Maybe you could just see it for what it is...the culmination of one man's dream and a positive attraction for our area. Is that too much to ask for you to just be happy for our region or is being negative just too damn important to you?

so, if we ever go through an extinction event and lose the technology we need to get the ark back to earth when it's safe to do so what good is it going to do?
