Answers in Genesis, a ministry founded in Australia, built the Creation Museum. The group seeks to convince others that the theory of evolution is wrong and that the account of creation told in Genesis is literally true. The result: a place that resembles a slick and entertaining natural history museum, even as it peddles the exact opposite message.
Now, the people behind this museum are looking to erect something much bigger: a 160-acre park with a life-size replica of Noah's Ark built to stand 500 feet long and 80 feet high. They're hoping to tap four teams of Amish builders to construct this giant ark, which would become the largest timber structure in the country...
But the ark plan now finds itself on troubled waters.
The group initially announced that it expected to break ground on the park in 2011, before eventually pushing that date back to 2014. But in June, in an interview in the Creation Museum's "Noah's Cafe," Ark Encounter vice president Michael Zovath told Yahoo News that the group no longer has a date in mind for the construction to begin. It has been unable to raise sufficient amounts of money, despite pleas to the Creation Museum's visitors to donate to the project.

Re: Arc Encounter
Yeah, not as easy as it seems, is it? Four teams of Amish builders (how many on each team?) and it's taking much longer than anticipated even to get started, and yet one guy was supposed to build this thing by himself?
Silly question, but how many humans supposedly rode on the Ark? It was Noah, his wife and his kids, right?
So I guess there must have been a lot of incest after that. The same problem of course for Adam & Eve.

Re: Arc Encounter
According to a lot of Christians, blacks were a result of a curse put by Noah on his son Ham. According to Mormons, Indians were the result of God's curse on the descendants of a figure called Laman. Not sure about Asians, but the trend is pretty clear in Christianity, if you aren't white its because God decided to punish you.Anaxagoras wrote:If Adam & Eve were white people then where did black people and Asians come from?grayman wrote:
