A REPLICA Noah’s Ark
built by Christians
opened in Kentucky last week.
The US$100 million, 155-metre
wooden model which stands
at 15-metres high has been
constructed as a life-sized
version of the boat outlined in
the bible.
Inside there are rows of cages
containing animal replicas.
President of Answers in
Genesis, the ministry that built
the ark, Ken Ham believes it is
going to be “one of the greatest
Christian outreaches of this era
in history”.
Ham expects the nautical
attraction will draw two million
visitors in its first year.
The ark has already attracted
its fair share of controversy
with opponents saying the
“educational boat” rejects
science.
