This article really does look like a 'vanity' promotion for a commercial organisation. And one with a specific religious agenda, at that. Does this really merit an entry at all?

Doesn't even mention what country it is in.

[edit] Creationism opinion

This text was originally added to the article by 82.3.88.231. Moved to here by Rbirkby 09:31, 11 July 2007 (UTC) as the text forms an opinion. Wikipedia is not the place for opinions.

Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm, however, is not what it claims to be. It all looks to be offering a nice day out for children and the family. Until you look again. Click on the Education tab, and you will notice it looks to be passing itself off as the type of place where children will learn and meet some of the requirements of the National Curriculum. Indeed, it brags that it can help children and students right up until the age of 18 and goes into some depth how. Bizarrely it then immediately goes into pushing hard-line creationism, which isn’t part of the national curriculum. And it pushes creationism in volumes. It throws fundamentalist boilerplate stuff at the reader about how wrong radiometric dating techniques are. It pushes Baramin rubbish on animal “kinds”, loss of genetic information over time and irreducible complexity. And when it has finished with contradicting vast swaths of science needed to pass public examinations, it starts preaching. So, by the time your children have left the place they will have been – 1. Messed around with bogus science that even the creationists don’t agree with. 2. Told that their science teachers are completely wrong, and proselytised to by a commercial farmer.
