The Christian group "Answers in Genesis" has made a life sized model of Noah's Ark that is scheduled to open to visitors on Thursday in the theme park "Ark Encounter" in Williamstown, Kentucky. In the ark, they placed models of Noah, his family, animals, and also dinosaurs according to the AP. The group explained, "That is because God created the entire world 6,000 years ago including dinosaurs."
However, the group "Freethinkers," who are opposing the construction of the ark, argued that "Dinosaurs were extinct 65 million years before the ark. Including dinosaur models is same as lying to children to make money."
The ark has been under construction since 2010, with a budget of 100 million dollars, and is 155.4 meters long, 25.9 meters wide, and 15.5 meters high. Ken Ham, chairman of Answers in Genesis, remarked, "This is going to be the greatest Christian project in history." The organizer expects two million visitors in the first year. A daily ticket for adults costs 40 dollars.
