• Resumen

  • Rosenau talks about a Noah's Ark "theme park" which is full of creationist pseudoscience. In a quiet corner of Kentucky what claims to be the world's largest timber-frame structure is hard to miss--a "life-size Noah's Ark' that cost $100 million. Called Ark Encounter, this "theme park" features stuffed creatures and a petting zoo. It opened last month, billing itself as a family-oriented educational treat. That makes it sound like a good place for school visits. Not so fast. Promotional material also describes the park as "a Christian evangelistic outreach intended to bring the Ark of Noah's day to life", which "equips visitors to understand the reality of the events that are recorded in the book of Genesis."
