UK trust seeks land for Christian park

LONDON, Dec. 16 (UPI) -- The AH Trust, a British charity devoted to challenging the theory of evolution, is scouting locations in England for a giant Christian theme park.

The $7 million theme park will feature two movie theaters, shops, a cafeteria and a television studio devoted to producing Christian programming, The Observer reported Sunday.

The park will offer teenagers a moral alternative to binge drinking and other negative activities, Peter Jones, one of the park's trustees, told the British newspaper.

The trust's founders, who have refused to identify themselves individually, are a group of businessmen who have vowed to proliferate the creationist viewpoint and counter what they see as moral drift in western civilization and especially in the Church of England.

Other such theme parks already exist worldwide, including Holy Land Experience in Orlando, Fla.
