This came to me via email today, and I was in awe of it. I forwarded it to everyone I knew who was a believer, but then decided I could reach more people by posting it here as well.
This is Johan Huibers, a Dutch creationist who wanted to show skeptics that the ark story in the Bible was not so far fetched after all. He used the exact measurements give in the Bible -- 150 cubits long, 30 cubits high and 20 cubits wide -- to build his own version. While there is some debate as to what materials may have been used in Noah's time to build the original, Huibers wasn't concerned with that as much as he was concerned with showing the ark was capable of holding all the animals the Bible places on it.
This is Huiber with the ark.
Visitors to the ark are met with life-size replicas of the animals that were on the ark in Noah's day.
The ark will be made into a visitor's attraction area, with a main deck area with food and gift shops, among other things. Huiber said he hopes his endeavor -- which began in 2005 and took nearly 5 years to complete -- would help renew Christianity in the Netherlands.
"Now that I am old and gray . . . give me the time to tell this new generation (and their children, too) about all Your mighty miracles." ~Psalm 71:18
