An artistic replica of Noah's Ark as described in the bible has opened in Kentucky. I'm not that far away, and might go out of curiosity.

Just be ready to be surrounded by people not there for entertainment, but a "history" lesson.

Yes, I've already seen them on tv. It's very weird to me that people take the bible story so literally.

Just remember those people vote for school board members who determine what is being taught.

And forbid the teaching of other subjects and these are the future citizens of our country they are indoctrinating.

Well, there's no accounting for taste, or faith, or the lack of either.

I think it is a most amazing undertaking. You needn't be a man of faith to appreciate the creative effort at hand there.

I totally agree with that. I'd like to see it. Technically, it probably rivals the Pirates of the Caribbean and all the other cool things I saw as a kid in Walt Disney World, in 1976.

Any talk of the ark, and it always makes me chuckle remembering Bill Cosby's bit about Noah talking to God about building the ark.....

I have no problem appreciating the sheer engineering beauty of it, but as said in this thread already, the only thing that worries me are the people who think Noah's Ark was a real event, down to the flooding of the Earth - rather than the parable it is meant to be: that of rebirth and renewal.

I just help shape the minds of people that may build, not build myself, nor have I looked technical details, but: seriously, are we talking about a technologica/engineeringl marvel for 2016?

Except when the story was written into the bible it was by then an old story, the first copy known, at the moment, is on a Babylonian cuneiform tablet made of clay, discovered in an excavation in present day Iraq. It dates to about 1800 BC, and contains references to "all the animals of the steppe" and "two by two". At least 800 years before the Old Testament was first written.

Other versions of the story, older than the bible, appear in other parts of the world.

Many or all of the "stories" in the New Testament were also written hundreds of years before in scrolls and tablets that predate the stated birth of Christ as well. The "miracles" are ascribed to a "Law-giver" in the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Folk-lore and Aesop-style fables. By the way, Aesop may not have lived at all but may be himself folklore as a slave who due to his wit and story telling ability acquires his freedom and gains him notoriety. This sounds like the "Arabian Nights'"as well.

There is one in the Netherlands as well.
But I don't see any dinosaurs though:)

Noah's Ark theme park opens in Kentucky with life-size replica

A theme park in the US state of Kentucky has unveiled a 510-foot-long (155 metre-long) wooden replica of Noah's Ark,

The replica was built by Christians who said they believe the biblical story was an historical event.

Critics have said the attraction should not have received tax incentives as it contradicts science education.

Good pics from BBC.

Exactly! Looking at archeological evidence, there were many localized floods depending on location, but nothing global. if I remember correctly there was a flood somewhere in the time and place where a lake berm collapsed. Still, just a local event.

I know several people who thoroughly believe every story in the Bible is literally correct. According to them this is because the Bible is the infallible word of God and for any of it to be correct it all has to be correct. These people scare me no end and I never get into a religious discussion with them. They are right and they know it and there is no way they will ever be persuaded to think otherwise.
