<CLARI-ITEM STORY>
<P> COLUMBIA, S.C., March 25 (UPI) -- Howard Knight of Columbia, S.C., is
hoping to raise $409 million to build a 1,200 acre Walk Through The
Bible theme park.</P>
<P> Knight says God appeared to him in a vision and told him to build the
park.</P>
<P> Knight says his encounter with God occurred in 1991 while he was
standing on a mountainside in Pigeon Forge, Tenn.</P>
<P> He says the park would include a water slide, golf course and family
fun park. The park would include a 100-acre Bible theme park with
electronically animated exhibits depicting Old and New Testament
stories.</P>
<P> The former country music promoter and air-conditioning contractor,
says the park would also include restaurants such as the Last Supper
Cafe and the Rabbi's Table, which would serve kosher meals.</P>
<P> Knight, a Southern Baptist, concedes the project is ambitious but
says the divine inspiration will carry it through to completion.</P>
