How Did Werewolves and Vampires Survive the Flood?

Williamstown, Kentucky

It looks like a frightening new exhibit at the Ark Encounter will open on April 1. While it may seem counterintuitive for a Christian theme park to highlight, the new exhibit features both werewolves and vampires.

“One of the most frequently asked questions at the Ark Encounter is how did werewolves and vampires survive the flood,” said Ken Ham, Founder CEO of Answers in Genesis. “Because of their part-time animal status, there is some understandable confusion. Obviously, they couldn’t have boarded in their human state,” continued Ham, “as the only humans recorded to have come onto the ark were Noah and his wife, his sons, and their wives.”

As the Answers in Genesis astronomer, Ken asked for my help. This is what I told him: “It is obvious that werewolves must be their own kind, as they cannot breed with anything but themselves. So we knew that there had to be a male and female werewolf that boarded the ark. But because their animal forms are tied into the phases of the moon, we know that they could only board near the time of a full moon.” (I went on to explain that werewolves could assume animal form on the night before or after a full moon of their own free will but were compelled to be werewolves on the night of the full moon, but I don’t think that they are going to use that in this exhibit.)

I did some more work. I checked the phase of the moon for December 7, 2349 BC, which Archbishop Ussher had determined was the day Noah’s flood started, and I found that that very night was a full moon, and not just any full moon but a blood moon. I mean how could it be more clear? Remember that the animals boarded the ark up to the day of the flood’s commencement, so the werewolves must have changed themselves to wolf form the day before (keeping their fur, just like their hair—perfect), and then Noah locked them up in cages so they wouldn’t eat the animals during the blood moon as the flood started.

But that still leaves the question of vampires unanswered, and even their status as the “undead” makes it hard to classify them. But Ken Ham had an answer readily available: “Vampires obviously came onto the ark as vampire bats. And this also explains why there are more vampires than werewolves today. Because vampire bats are winged creatures, 14 (seven pairs) came onto the ark, compared to only two werewolves.”

The exhibit will run from April through October.
