OPINIONS
Note: Here you will find individual opinions and comments related to the main objectives of the “Christian Culture Park” (information on the Bible, biblical statements with scientific and cultural relevance, and the ‘Park of Encounters’). As described under “CONCEPT,” we operate exclusively in a politically neutral manner. There are no special requirements for the representation of personal opinions.

“In one of my very first interviews 52 years ago, Otto von Habsburg told me: ‘Europe can only be had under the cross — or not at all!’ The Christian Culture Park aims to convey this message on a scientifically sound basis, which is why it has my full support.”
Prof. (ret.) Dr. Werner Gitt
Former Director of the Department of Information Technology at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt in Braunschweig. On Mr. Gitt’s website, you will find many contributions (lectures, audio, podcasts, videos) in various languages.
“I would be pleased if a scientifically oriented exhibition were created in this park, highlighting the mutually supportive connections between science and biblical faith.”

“In a time of rapid societal changes, Christian faith no longer holds significance for many people. The Christian Culture Park has the opportunity to show people the connections between biblical statements and modern scientific findings, thereby bringing them closer to Jesus Christ and His saving Gospel.”

“Many people in today’s world are searching for orientation, truth, and stability in life. In Jesus Christ, truth visibly came to us humans on this earth. The Christian Culture Park, and especially the Ark, will surely be a wonderful place to bring searching people closer to the truth, the right path, and God’s creation in all its splendor. I have already visited the Ark in Kentucky / USA and was completely thrilled by it.”
Dr. Lothar Gassmann

“I support the Christian Culture Park because I believe that the Bible and Christian values are just as important in our time as they were before. Furthermore, I am convinced that the Christian Culture Park is a wonderful starting point to encourage people in our current, seemingly hopeless time of wars and crises to reflect on the transience of the earthly and the significance of the eternal.”
Dr. Peter Borger
Peter Borger, MSc, PhD. Molecular biologist, author. : ‘Darwin Revisited‘”
“In 2001, in Sydney, I read the ‘Journal of Creation.’ These were very special scientific articles that showed that biblical accounts can be regarded as facts. There is much evidence for creation, many indications of a global flood, many arguments that the Bible is the true history of humanity on its journey with God and God with us. I began to view biology from the perspective of creation and understood that I could derive much more meaning from observations than from the perspective of blind naturalistic processes. Everything is controlled and regulated by forces and laws over which we have no influence. Molecular biology, my field, is the best proof of God! In 2003, I became a follower of Jesus and a staunch advocate of genuine scientific insights. Twenty years later, I met Ralf Kiefer. He showed me the design for the ‘Christian Culture Park.’ Given the rapid decline in knowledge about the origin of our own European Christian culture, about who we are as humans and where we come from, I wholeheartedly support this project. This project, which takes into account the latest scientific findings, exalts the only one worthy of praise, the Creator of the universe, as described in the Bible.”
René Linsner
Partner at an international management consultancy
“During my travels, I visited the Ark in Kentucky and was impressed by the mighty vessel that Noah built at God’s command. The Ark signified salvation from God’s judgment; it is a wonderful reference to Jesus Christ, who came into this world to redeem people from sins and grant believers eternal life: ‘John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.’ This joyful message is clearly proclaimed to millions of visitors in Kentucky. I very much wish that this would also be possible in the same way in Germany or in Europe become possible. Therefore, I gladly support the Christian Culture Park.”

“The Culture Park has the potential to demonstrate that natural science and Christian faith are not contradictory, but rather mutually enriching: I hope that it succeeds in objectively and clearly pointing out that biblical faith is reasonable and, in harmony with unbiased science, usually offers better explanations for the essential questions of our existence and this world. I wish for the Park that the Creator Himself, Jesus Christ, be the center of all activity and presentation, shining brightly as the light of this world, as the truth and the source of all life.”

“Very interesting concept! Biblical statements should be presented impressively with scientific and cultural relevance. It would be wonderful if this project were implemented and people were introduced to the timeless relevance of biblical messages in an attractive, varied, and aesthetically pleasing way. I would be very pleased if the Christian Culture Park becomes a reality, creating a place of learning, encouragement, and encounter.”
Reinhard Hager

“The ‘Christian Culture Park’ is very important for raising awareness of our history and legal history again. For about 1700 years, Germany – and its legal history – has been shaped by Christian-Jewish values. (see “Sachsenspiegel” by Eike von Repgow) The German Basic Law was created for Germany after the experiences of the two World Wars. The presentation of backgrounds and motives should be given ample space in the cultural-historical exhibition.”
Leopold Kleedorfer
Bookseller, Christian Bookstore Graz
“With the Bible, we have such a wonderful treasure. In my small bookstores, I often feel as if I am sitting in a treasure chest. A small, inconspicuous treasure chest that is too rarely seen. The Christian Culture Park project would be large enough to be rediscovered by the general public. I wish that this park comes into being and that the many treasures of the Bible are vividly displayed.”

“I really like the idea of establishing a Christian Culture Park. The truthful presentation of scientific findings regarding creation is important. Here it can be demonstrated that honest science and faith in the God of the Bible are not opposites. It would be highly desirable if Noah’s Ark were visible from the highway. I wish the planners much success and good fortune!”
Dr. Norbert Höhl
County Council Member in the Fulda district, Municipal Representative in the Petersberg municipality and member of the federal executive board of the party “Bündnis C – Christians for Germany.
“The Christian Culture Park is an oasis where everyone who seeks truth can find joy. I am firmly convinced that from here, the bright rays of God’s truth will go out into our world, pointing young and old to Him who wonderfully holds everything together, from whom everything comes, and to whom everything goes.”

At public events, various guestspeakers report on their experiences that followed active trust in the biblical word.
“In these hectic times, it is becoming increasingly important to find a place where people are encouraged to reflect on faith and Christian values.”
Jörg and Pia Kohlhepp
“In a time when there is increasing ignorance about the content and meaning of the Christian faith, this theme park would be truly particularly important.”
Ralf Kiefer
Initiator
“Christians are often confronted with explanations of suffering. Sometimes we can provide biblically and experientially oriented answers for a part of it. However, I have never been asked for an explanation of why God Himself suffered so much on the cross, nor why there is so much beauty in creation. For recreation we consciously enjoy this sight during a forest walk. The cause and origin of beauty in flowers, humans, the universe, nature, and music cannot be explained by mutation and selection; in living beings, it is “clearly information-controlled” by genetics. However, targeted information cannot be provided by dead matter, as Prof. Gitt has demonstrated. God’s longing love is expressed very clearly, among other places, in John’s Gospel 3:16 and in the “Song of Songs.” Could it also be a kind of love letter from God? With this video, I want to thank and honor God for the thousandfold joy I have experienced over the years by contemplating and enjoying the “beauty in creation.” Romans 13:7 Give honor to whom honor is due. Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made! Our attitude: “If the world ends tomorrow, we should still plant a large apple tree today!”
