re: #48 Charles

It’s going to be pretty hard to maintain that fiction, when Answers in Genesis is an explicitly Christian fundamentalist group that very actively proselytizes for the cause of creationism.

I think a strong case can be made that this is a clear violation of the Establishment Clause.

Nobody has more contempt for these morons than me, but this isn’t an establishment case. Kentucky isn’t giving AiG money, only tax credits. AiG is being granted the same economic incentives anyone else with a large business development project that promises to create jobs would.
Plus, its well established that states can exempt churches from taxation. Beshear is running for reelection and unemployment is 10% in Kentucky; he would give tax incentives to a satanic theme park if it would generate jobs.
