How Rediculous!!

You would at least think they would have built it using the same tools, fittings and the same size workforce etc. as was when the original was (apparently) built.

Will it prove anything at all!!

I presume it's an Ark?
Who's building it and why?

Here's more on it http://www.9news.com.au/world/2015/07/24/17/01/kentucky-creationists-on-track-to-build-publicly-funded-405-million-replica-of-noahs-ark?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Where are they getting all those cubic cubits of gopher wood? Or did God just mean "go for wood"? Will Health and Safety allow all those different animals on board without proper restraints? Don't forget the unicorns this time!!

Well the forecast is for rain. But this Is a bit worrying.

I wonder how much money would be raised for a similar project in the UK, most likely wouldn't get as far as the design stage, Brits aren't as gullible, hopefully!

Zacs. A sad indictment on ALL extremist religions.

[Zacs-Master]

I wasn't aware that all extremist religions featured an Ark in their teachings. :-)

[Graham-W]

A similar description is in the Quran, where the ark appears as Safina Nuh (Arabic: سفينة نوح‎ "Noah's boat").

[RATTER15]

ok, so reading a bit more into it, it looks like it may be part of a theme park attraction. I was hoping to see them attempt to float it!

The arc also features in the Jewish faith. Noah took 120 yrs to built it on the top of a mountain. Three decks. The top one for him and his family, the middle deck for the animals, the bottom deck for the garbage. Eco friendly. Did not want to pollute a doomed world. Built it on the top of a mountain to avoid marina charges

We usually talk, disparagingly, of "job creation schemes" in entirely figurative terms - they are always 'proposals' and usually get nipped in the bud. This one is real...

"Governor of Kentucky Steve Beshear has spoken in defence of the decision, claiming it does not violate the separation of church and state.

“Bringing new jobs to Kentucky is my top priority, and with the estimated 900 jobs this project will create, I am happy about the economic impact this project will have on the Northern Kentucky region,” he said."

I didn't immediately understand the bit about "$54.5m tax-break" since their churches are supposed to be tax exempt. Evidently, this is a private-enterprise theme-park operation and they are getting a leg-up, at the tax-payer's expense, in the name of promoting religion.


I like the pteranodon/pterodactyl, or whatever that sculpted animal is meant to be. I suppose the smart-alec kids are supposed to protest that they could fly and should not have drowned and the smart-alec reply will come back that they could not fly for 40 days, continuously and died for want of fresh water and/or food. Although what dinosaurs (flying and not) had done to the very god who - supposedly - created them, is anyone's guess. (Explaining why the sea-living dinosaurs died too, will be fun to watch them attempt).

Re: Mrs Brown's hamster situation:- missed a chance to make a joke about the poop deck, there.

The news article mentions (paraphrasing) one deck for Noah & family, a second deck for the animals and a third deck for the garbage", so they side-step the whole ju-ju-flop situation, unless garbage is another euphimism for ordure, on that side of the pond.
