The Tucker County Senior Citizens recently took a trip to Kentucky to see the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum. The Ark Encounter is a replica of Noah’s ark built according to the measurements in the Bible.
It is 510 ft. long, 85 ft. wide and 51 ft. high. There were many teaching exhibits about the Flood, Noah, and the animals to help answer questions about the Biblical account of Noah. It was amazing to see the actual size of the ark and see how most of the work of building it was done by hand with very few tools.
The Creation Museum, which is located just 40 miles away, was also something special to see. There were several exhibits about the creation of the earth. The 7 C’s in God’s Eternal Plan exhibits explain the history of the Biblical events of Creation, Corruption, Catastrophe, Confusion, Christ, Cross, and Consummation. There were many displays of dinosaurs, fossils, animals and stories from the Bible. Outside the museum, after a walk through the beautiful gardens, there was an opportunity to ride a camel. Several of those on the trip took advantage of this opportunity.
