Noah’s Ark Coming to Kentucky
Posted by bestofwebby on December 9, 2010
Here is an interesting story about a Noah’s Ark Theme park. The ABC News video title is very negative - Noah’s Ark Tourist Attraction Sparks Debate. The NY Times story (if you can believe it) is much more balanced, In Kentucky Noah’s Ark Theme Park is Planned. KY’s Governor, who happens to be a democrat, supports this plan as a good investment for the state. Others from out of state are trying to make the case that the state should not be funding this amusement park because of it’s religious theme.
If this was a Zappos or Amazon distribution center the Governor would be applauded for bringing 900 new jobs to the state. Because it involves Noah’s Ark its the source of debate.
I can’t wait to visit this this place in 2014!

A rendering of a park centered on Noah’s ark, seen below in a 19th-century woodcut, planned for Grant County, Ky. Besides the ark, it would include a Tower of Babel, a first-century village and a journey through the Old Testament.
Facing a rising tide of joblessness, the governor of Kentucky has found one solution: build an ark. Gov. Steven L. Beshear said that he was elected “to create jobs,” not “to debate religion.”
