I found an interesting article recently put out by CNN, it describes how a religious attraction group is planning on building an exact wooden replica of Noah's ark as described in the Bible. The project is estimated to cost 24.5 million dollars and is planning on drawing in 1.6 million visitors per year. Although this project is a bit over kill in my opinion, especially in this economy why aren't they giving that 24.5 million to the national debt of helping good people who have lost their homes in what is said to be the richest country in the world. Waste in my opinion!!
Although I don't agree with Answers in Genesis, the company behind the project, it does prove that these stories are deeply embedded in our culture and that our show and the whole cycle are likely to be well received. Also this article may expose new people to the story of Noah who may have never heard it before.
If you would like to read it the full article is available at: http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2010/12/01/full-scale-replica-of-noahs-ark-planned-for-outside-cincinnati/
