"19 Kids and Counting" alum Jessa Duggar-Seewald recently went under fire for supporting the controversial Ark Encounter Museum.
According to Design N Trend, the creationist museum was modeled after Noah's Ark in Williamstown, Ky.
Meanwhile, The Hollywood Gossip claimed that the corporation is being led by Ken Ham, the man who encouraged schools to teach creationism.
Ham and his people received a massive amount for spearheading the Ark Encounter project.
Additionally, Ham's employees are required to sign statements of faith confirming that they are indeed Christians. However, this practice goes against the rules of equal employment.
On top of all of these controversies, the Ark Encounter was also scrutinized for featuring unicorns and dinosaurs inside an ark-like building instead of all of the animals that were featured in the original Noah's Ark book.
In other news, Ham previously said that he believes that the earth was only created some 6,000 years ago. And unlike the close similarities between humans and apes, he believes that humans are more similar to dinosaurs.
"Although there are about 668 names of dinosaurs, there are perhaps only 55 different kinds of dinosaurs. Furthermore, not all dinosaurs were huge like the brachiosaurus, and even those dinosaurs on the Ark were probably teenagers or young adults," he wrote on his blog 16 years ago.
On her Instagram account, Duggar-Seewald regrammed the photo that was posted by the Ark Encounter. The snap showed the building that will soon be open to the Christian public.
One critic said that Duggar-Seewald is supporting a wrong cause because the money that was spent building the Ark could've been spent on feeding tons of homeless people across the world.
"How st*pid and what a waste of resources that could be used to help others," the critic wrote.
However, there were also some people who supported Duggar-Seewald and said that they will be there on opening night.
