Religion Kentucky establishes 900 new jobs - by building Noah's Ark, by Alexandra Silver | December 3 Canada Goose Jackets for sale, 2010 | + Tweet Problem: High unemployment. Solution: Build an ark. In case you missed it, the governor of Kentucky recently announced that the state will become the home of what is set to be the centerpiece of a biblical "full-scale copy of Noah's Ark" in exchange for tax breaks. This theme park—or, if you're the sponsor of the Ark Encounter project, a "historic themed attraction"—would also feature a Tower of Babel and a first-century Middle Eastern village. Answers in Genesis (the ministry behind the Creation Museum) is heavily involved in the $150 million project, which according to the official website "is not a theme park" and does not expect pairs of all living creatures, either. While there will be live animals—as one planner said, "part of our mission...is to show possibilities for how Noah would have been able to care for the animals over a long period of time"—the passenger list has yet to be finalized. (See the top 50 roadside attractions.) Animal logistics and thorny church/state issues aside, the project raises many questions, like was Noah a millionaire? And an ark in...Kentucky? Planners expect the development to create around 900 jobs and draw some 1.6 million visitors, but how are budget-conscious faithful tourists supposed to choose between this and Florida's Holy Land Experience? NewsFeed loves animals, but hey Gucci bags, we'd rather visit the Garden of Eden. (Via The Telegraph.)
