Kentucky Creationist Museum to Feature Dragons, Unicorns

Here is the full quote from Kentucky blog Barefoot and Progressive, which was partially quoted in the story:

Thanks to Steve Beshear, Kentucky is no longer just known as the state whose governor endorsed and gave $40 million in tax breaks to people who want to tell children that science and history explain that a 600 year old man herded dinosaurs onto a big boat 4,000 years ago.

No, Kentucky will now be known as the state whose governor endorsed and gave $40 million in tax breaks to people who want to tell children that science and history explain that a 600 year old man herded dinosaurs, fire-breathing dragons and unicorns onto a big boat 4,000 years ago.

Giant Noah's Ark likely landing in Kentucky: Governor, Creation Museum officials expected to announce creationist theme park

I've lived in Grant County, Kentucky. While it's nice that 900 new jobs will be created by this endeavour, a schlocky Creationist theme park would not be my ideal. But hey, as one commenter wrote, theme parks are often centred around fantasy ideas.

This is a project by the same people who brought us the Creation Museum, a popular destination in Petersburg, Kentucky (near the Cincinnati airport, which, incidentally, is in northern Kentucky, not in Ohio).

Okay, it's 2 am, I've read everything in Google Reader. Time for bed. Good night.
