Line 1: − The '''Ark Encounter''' is a $150 million tourist attraction that is expected to open in the spring of 2014 in northern [[Kentucky]]. It is predominantly a full-scale model of [[Noah's Ark]]. Influential [[Christian apologetics]] [[ministry]] [[Answers in Genesis]] is teaming up with the [[Free market|private]] for-profit company [[Ark Encounter LLC]] to build the privately funded attraction. The Troyer Group from [[Indiana]] is responisble for the actual construction while Patrick Marsh, the [[Creation Museum]] design director, will be designing and "theming" the attractions. The announcement for its construction came in December 2010.+ − − The attraction is more than just a life-sized Noah's Ark; it includes a petting zoo, a replica of the [[Tower of Babel]], a [[Dark Ages|medieval]] village, and even a historical Biblical journey from [[Abraham]] to the [[Red Sea crossing|parting]] of the [[Red Sea]]. The Ark attraction is not only an awe-inspiring and [[history|historically]] accurate center of [[Bible|Biblical]] displays, but an [[Education|educational]] experience. The huge project will educate visitors with a unique, hands-on approach on the details of Biblical history and why it is so important to appreciate [[Noah]] and his great service to [[God]] and the [[Earth]]. − − The project is expected to have up to 900 staff and provide many much needed jobs for the state of Kentucky. Kentucky [[governor]] [[Steve Beshear]] wisely ignored the typical [[Censorship|liberal, atheist prejudice]] against the building of an inspiring [[Christianity|Christian]] attraction and supported its construction. The [[family|family-oriented]] Ark is expected to enlighten as many as 1.6 million visitors a year. The Ark Encounter will serve as a vital and beneficial Christian influence on not just the state of Kentucky but the [[United States|country]] as a whole. [[Creationism|Creationists]] such as Answers in Genesis' president [[Ken Ham]] view the Ark Encounter as a very important undertaking which will provide an important educational and [[faith|spiritual]] center for Christians to get closer to their faith and for non-believers to realize and appreciate the authenticity of Christianity and its deep, historical roots. − − == External links == − *[http://arkencounter.com/ The Ark Encounter] − − == See also == − *[[Answers in Genesis]] − *[[Noah's Ark]] − − == References == − *[http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/2010/12/01/ark-encounter-news-release AiG's Ark Encounter Announcement] − *[http://arkencounter.com/faq/ The Ark Encounter] − − [[Category:Kentucky]][[Category:Young Earth Creationism]][[Category:Tourist Attractions]]
