WILLIAMSTOWN, KY (WTHR) - The Ark Encounter in Williamstown, Kentucky has created controversy after deciding to change the night-time lighting on the Ark to rainbow colors.
A tweet by co-founder Ken Ham reads, “Christians need to take back the rainbow as we do @ArkEncounter -God owns it-He decreed it's a sign of His covenant with man after the Flood.”
Ham further explained his tweet in a blog:
"Sadly, people ignore what God intended the rainbow to represent and proudly wave rainbow-colored flags in defiance of God’s command and design for marriage. Because of this, many Christians shy away from using the rainbow colors. But the rainbow was a symbol of God’s promises before the LGBTQ movement—and will continue to be after that movement has ended. As Christians, we need to take the rainbow back and teach our young people its true meaning," wrote Ham.
