If an Ark was built here in MA or in CA, they'd admit 58 humans. Or, to be more exact, 2 humans and 56 freaks.
“You don’t miss the water till the well runs dry.”
A Christianized society started to believe that the virtues among it were innate from birth, rather than from being born again.
God said fine, let’s see how well that idea works.
I remember seeing it for the first time and wondering what was being built that had stopped with only a metal structure, then I saw the sign. I’ve gone past it once or twice a year for the last ten years, and it is still just a metal structure that looks like a project begun and never completed.
yes, they go: Arkf, arkf at you.
My wife and would like to visit this attraction, but we sure aren’t going out of our way to visit....
I think there are a lot of folks like ourselves..
I have to wonder who did the financial projections on this project....must have been pie in the sky....
Put it near one of the main theme parks such as in Orlando it would do much better...
Good Point. And really, how much time can you spend looking at an Ark replica. Would be an interesting activity, but sure wouldn’t build a vacation around it.
They need a rain-maker.
When I first came to WV, I was surprised at the number of Calvary representations there are. Landowners all over, especially in sight of the interstates and four lanes, have erected the three crosses on hillsides and tops.
Here’s the story of how they started. The comments after the article are a good read also.

As for churches, they seem to occupy a place in almost every wide spot in the road. Although the following images show mostly city churches, there are also a lot of small rural ones if you look.
The Estes Ark has a better model - one of every type of stuffed animal, attracts tourists from all over, could be used to proselytize in addition to that.
Jalapenos,
Mustard and ketchup are condiments....
Jalepenos. Perfect.
Estes Park, Colorado?
Mustard, you forgot the mustard
Dont forget to visit the Atheist display and attraction (empty field down the road)
They need a rollercoaster, a water slide, ferris wheel and some spinning cups. Maybe an exhibition hall with new models of cars, motorcycles and robots. Start a Farmer’s Market with kettle corn and cotton candy. Oh, and a church, but across the street, near to the Ark and away from the Amusement Park.
I believe so. My kids would have brought home a car load of stuffed animals if we allowed it. Didn’t help that Grandma offered to pay for them and ship home what didn’t fit in the car.
Question: Would many of the Commandments have been needed if Man were innately good?
For full disclosure, I live 20 minutes north of Ark off of I-75. And my son drives the Ark bus that brings visitors from the parking area to the Visitor Center. That said, The Ark and The Creation Museum makes a stay in Florence, KY (Exit 182) to the Richwood (Exit 175) the sweet spot between the two attractions. This is why 3 new hotels opened in 2016 and 3 more are under construction this summer. Out of state tour buses are frequently seen as we go about our business in Northern Kentucky. Last Saturday, The Ark had 7200 visitors.
I’d recommend a conversation with the youth prior to the Creation Museum on the Book of Genesis 1-5.
And a discussion of Genesis 5:32-10:1 prior to The Ark visit.
As a Catholic and very traditional, they are both great visits for children and grandkids with preparation.
This is not a bad article, but most similar articles about The Ark are meant to be hit pieces on Gov Matt Bevin.
This could be fake news...the ark website has addressed some of these “slower than expected” newspieces...of course you never know who is tellin the real story unless you go for yourself and look for new construction
....hotel booking rates..or count the visitors at the site.or other signs of increases tourist traffic...some in the town are bitter cause they thought the state gave money to the project...where the project received tax credits that other businesses get if increased tax revenues will come thru that particular enterprise...a common practice i believe...
