They have a zip line...petting zoo...some musical attractions..so they are starting to expand...a world class zoo and aviary and aquarium with concommittant research arms would really help to keep past visitors coming back...a huge garden...like butchart in victoria, b.c. would be a super attraction...
I certainly hope God blesses it to a larger witness.
The exact means by which the Ark, Flood, and related stories are explained by the bible accounts — resulting in sometimes bitter, even un-Christian toned debates between bible interpretation camps such as OEC and YEC — seems to me to be overshadowed by the very visual statement the Ark made: “My love towards you is THIS large.” It is not the fault of God, but of man, that more did not consent to board this Ark. And the boarding of the animals may have been another visual picture to plead with mankind. “Look, I even care this much about the beasts.” Although most of those of Noah’s day refused, and Noah proved to be no paragon of perfection himself, it illustrates how large God’s love is and how powerful a salvation is that faith will engage.
An obvious question I am curious about. Do they pass out gospel pamphlets there? This should be a free item. Are the churches of nearby cities participating? Like they could underwrite coupons to the exhibit.
I think it is worth praying for, that it proves a good witness and that it manages to avoid the worst controversies that tend to derail people’s attentions.
