The Creation Museum will announce details Wednesday afternoon of its planned expansion.

Answers In Genesis, which built and operates the religious-themed attraction, plans to build a full-scale wooden replica of Noah's Ark based on biblical descriptions.

The $24.5 million project will be constructed by the same team that built the Creation Museum.

The religious ministry is soliciting online donations to help construct the project, which they expect to draw an estimated 1.6 million visitors per year.

Ken Ham, president and CEO of Answers In Genesis, cites poll data showing that an estimated 63 percent of Americans would visit a full-scale replica of Noah's Ark if one were built in the U.S.

I like and respect you nab. But I do not remotely see how this could have ever possibly actually happened.

I saw a program about the Ark on one of the cable channels. One of the statements made in the program was that the Ark could not have been built to the dimensions given in the Bible with the tools that were available at the time that the Ark was supposedly built. It will be interesting to see how they build their so called "full-scaled wooden replica."

So what? It's a theme park.

Exactly. What I find more egregious is the creationism theme parks that try to integrate dinosaurs into theology.

In this case, they are one and the same.

U believe god told a dude namednoah that he was sick of the humans he created and that he was feeling genocidal so he planned to drowned them all? What a horrible story. How many men, women, animals, and children did god murder? That isn't mentioned is it? What was the point again in drowning everyone? Really stupid fictitious story.

Literature is full of what you call "stupid fiction." Have you read the Iliad and the Odyssey?

Indeed and it is understood as such. LF is getting a bit worked up about someone actually looking at such fiction and mistaking it as reality.

What Big Dog said. Some people read stupid fiction and know its stupid fiction. It takes a special kind of stupid to read stupid fiction and think its real.

I was asking nab a question because it appears as though she said she believes the noah's ark story really happened (unless I misunderstood her post)

[Obama 2012 1,714]

I like and respect you nab. But I do not remotely see how this could have ever possibly actually happened.

perhaps the story is to the extreme on what was put onto the ark, but if you look at many ancient cultures, the great flood itself probably did indeed happen....

I would want to visit a full-scale replica - sounds pretty cool.
