That's right, my friends, the Ark Park story is back…and just when you thought it couldn't get any nuttier. This project is a true gem, one that I look forward to providing me with fodder for many months to come. It is to religious satire what Sarah Palin is to political satire.
As I posted in a previous entry, an Old Testament theme park, complete with life-size replica of Noah's Ark, is being constructed in Kentucky. Well, a blogger in Kentucky thought he would also have some fun with the story so he posed some questions to the developers of $150 million dollar attraction. Namely, will the ark have dinosaurs? The answer….Yes! But not only that, there will be dragons! That's right, dragons. According to Answers in Genesis, the people responsible for the project:
"Being land animals, dinosaurs (or dragons of the land) were created on Day Six (Genesis 1:24–31), went aboard Noah’s Ark (Genesis 6:20), and then came off the Ark into the post-Flood world (Genesis 8:16–19). It makes sense that many cultures would have seen these creatures from time to time before they died out."
Oh boy. Does Answers in Genesis have a paleontologist on staff? How about an anthropologist? Maybe a zoologist? Heck, even a proctologist should be able to help them out with this one. Land dragons running around with humans 4,000 years ago? Sigh. Well. this is at least good news for Pete. Sad to say it spells trouble for the Gogans, though.

Well we've got dragons on board now, how about Falcor? I mean if Pete gets his mythological buddy, why can't Atreyu?
Someone needs to warn Noah, though. If he thought termites, carpenter ants, and woodpeckers were going to give him some trouble in a structure made entirely of wood; a pair of fire-breathing dragons will spell disaster.
But why stop there, let's add in some hobbits for good measure. And how about some Dr. Seuss creatures--those Truffula Trees aren't going to speak for themselves you know. And maybe some unicorns too…wait…they are going to have unicorns. The Answers in Genesis site says:
"Some people claim the Bible is a book of fairy tales because it mentions unicorns. However, the biblical unicorn was a real animal, not an imaginary creature. To think of the biblical unicorn as a fantasy animal is to demean God’s Word, which is true in every detail."
Seriously? Rainbows? Unicorns? This place is one Cher performance away from being a whole other kind of park.

I can't wait to see what other stories develop from this. In the meantime, I'm getting my pink My Little Pony, Cheerilee, and heading off to Kentucky. I don't want her to get left behind.
