    Take a Look at Noah's Ark 'Replica' Being Unveiled in Kentucky

    The 510-ft long Ark

    Nathaniel Jeanson is a Harvard-educated biologist. For the past year, he has been involved in a spectacular $100 million project, designed to educate and astonish the world.

    His project, however, has left many scientists in despair.

    For Dr Jeanson is one of the advisers of Ark Encounter billed as "a life-sized Noah's Ark". The 510-ft long boat and its surrounding attractions, unveiled in Kentucky on Thursday, has sparked a wave of protests, but he insisted that, far from being an outrage, the theme park was a gift to humanity.

    "This is not anti-science," he said, speaking to The Telegraph on the eve of the theme park’s opening. 

    "I would say we embrace all science.

    "We are just teaching people to think differently."

    Indeed, he admits that his thinking is radically different to that of many of his Harvard peers.

    He and his Creationist colleagues believe that the Bible is a book of historic record. They argue that Genesis tells a factual story explaining that the Earth is only a few thousand years old, that man and dinosaur co-existed, and that Noah built an ark to save animals from a flood.

    Evolution, he believes, is a myth: Darwin’s work has been misinterpreted.

    The Aral View of the Might Ark 

    The Ark is based on a true story in a Bible of a certain man, named Noah, who received a strict warning from God, about flood that is going to destroy the earth.

    The Ark is said to be 85-ft (26m) wide and 51-ft (15m) high, the group said that built it.

    The Ark shows the display of animals in cages as it were in theories of world existence in the Bible and is about 40 miles (64km) from south Cincinnati, Ohio, in Williamstown.

    The group further explained that, the creation of dinosaurs and every other thing was made by God 6,000 years ago.

    And scientist believed that dinosaurs existed 65 million years ago before man was created.

    Narrating the encounters and the funding of the project, "The total cost of the Ark is more than $100m (77m pounds), Ken Ham, the president of Answers in Genesis.

    The attraction has been at the centre of controversy in Kentucky, where it was awarded a tax incentive in 2014 worth up to $18m (14m pounds).

    It has made the park to recoup taxes on money made from the visitors that comes around to have a glimpse on the mighty Ark.

    Due to the complains of some critics, the tax was revoked after it was revealed that Answers in Genesis would only hire Christian staff members but however the group charged the case and came out victorious.

    Critics of the theme park claimed that, it is a violation of separation of church ans state.

    According to Jim Helton said, "Basically, this boat is a church raising scientifically illiterate children and lying to them about science,"

    Before the project, a debate was organized by Mr Ham and he said through that debate, it realized $62m from Williamstown, which enabled the group to break ground on the location few months later.

    According to Answers in Genesis, it estimates that in the first year the theme part will attract about two million visitors.
