Believe it or not. They are arguing about Noah's Ark in the heartland tonight and whether it's right to use taxpayer 1 dollars to build it, complete with animals. Not in anticipation 2 of rain but tourists. Linsey Davis takes us insight to this debate.

Hollywood imagine Noah's Ark like this. But if developers in Kentucky can flow their newest idea. This will be the sight of a real life replica 3.

we'll  be using about 160 acres to build the Ark in Canada.

They are building it on a, well, biblical scale, using dimensions from Genesis Chapter 6, 450 feet long, about 600 train cars can fit inside.The deck, longer than 35 tennis courts, taller than a three-storey building. There will be a Tower of Babel and live animals too.

Why not to every animal?

Because we are talking about 10,000 pairs of animals.

A 150-million-dollar lifeboat expected to create 900 jobs and attract 1.6 million visitors a year, 250 million dollars in state revenue.

The Ark, that's planned to be built on its 800-acre site has opened up the floodgates of controversy 4. Critics say it's a direct violation 5 of separation between church and state.

That's because Kentucky's governor promise the developers almost 40 million dollars in tax breaks to build there. "People of Kentucky didn't elect me governor to debate religion. They elected me governor to create jobs." But not everyone's on board.

The government shouldn't be using its money to advance religion. That's what's unconstitutional about this.

This combination, Half Theme Park Half Sunday School has been done before.

If you read your Bible, then you are learning what God says to do.

But not with state funding.The Creation Museum is 40 miles away from the Ark. In just a few years, it's had more than a million visitors. As for this Noah's Ark, it has a new mission to help weather an economic storm.
