Sorry this is not a replica. This is not what Noah's ark looked like. Right off the bat the outside is wrong. A "replica" is an exact copy. 1. The real exterior Noah's ark was made from Cypress wood 2. And it's sealed by tar which is black. Don't believe everything you see and read nowadays folks

@bernie70442 ай бұрын
I've gone like 2 or 3 times with my kids. This is an absolutely amazing engineering masterpiece. The problem is that we think we are so much smarter today and that is just simply not true. Technology has made us arrogant, less intelligent, and prideful. It's so hard for me to watch movies or anything that has the Ark because people try to rationalize what they think. One perfect example is this. I like teaching young people and one of my most favorite questions I love to ask them is do they think the Ark had leaks? Many times when we watch anything concerning the Ark, they show it as some rickety boat with leaks and it just seemed like a miserable place. I, on the other hand don't believe any of this garbage. My first thing that I go to is this. The Lord told Noah to come into the Ark, not go in. The Lord said "Come in" which to me means the Lord was inside. Then, as far as leaks were concerned, I say absolutely tight. We are taught that "Pitch" is like a tar that helps seal. Which, technically speaking, that's exactly what it is. However, when I learned the Biblical definition of "Pitch" it blew me away. I'm sure you have probably already know this but I love talking about it because it's just another reason of how gracious and amazing our Lord God is. When I saw that "Pitch" means "Atonement " that made me understand that there were absolutely no leaks because there are no leaks in His Atonement that the Lord God has given us through Christ Jesus. He called Noah and told him to come into the Ark that had been sealed with His Atonement, and He shut them in. And the Lord says that he opens doors that no man can shut and He closes doors that no man can open. Thank you so very much for sharing your experiences of your trip with us as viewers. Your commentary was entertaining and I really enjoyed it. God Bless you and your beautiful family. I may not know you and I will probably never meet you personally but I just want to tell you, that I love you. How can we call ourselves brothers and not love one another? Especially, with the injustice and the hatred being spread throughout our country. How an any of us hate one another when we all go back to those three sons that the Lord saved in that huge engineering and architectural masterpiece. I'm sorry about writing a novel, but your video has thoroughly been a blessing to me this morning. Please pray for our country because there is an evil at work that is trying to destroy our country. Pray for our leaders, both current and further. I don't know where you stand politically but I personally, stand with the Lord Jesus Christ. I love this Country and I will defend her, and if necessary, lay down my life because I believe this is what the Lord would have Hjs people do. I think about that Ark and I think of how horrible things must have been for God to move in that manner. We are sliding bad in America and we have got to remain faithful and strong. Brother, I don't know what tomorrow brings but I sure know who is in control of tomorrow. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Sorry about the novel. Thank you again for your video and God Bless you.

I saw the ark about 2yrs after it opened , it was still in a rough start up shape . Ok , had a hard time with the dinosaur thing , only cause I’m an archeology buff . That being said , main stream has had to admit over the last couple of years they’ve found dinosaur bones buried with ppl bones in mudslides and such , actually found the humans about 7ft under them in 1 case . If anything I’ve believed it helps prove the Bible over evolution theory.

@Mediocre_JT2 ай бұрын
Yep. The same way God scattered people and confused languages, he did the same with animals, placed them in their best habitat for survival after the water finished dropping. They were only eggs to 40 days old. I believe he moved the young dinosaurs to the jungles, but even with that much vegetation, they still went extinct, it's no comparison to pre-flood vegetation. There are still many people that claimed there were dinosaurs living in the jungles of Africa and South America, Forrest Galante did a segment on them, I don't think any survived the past 500 or so years, or what we know to be dinosaurs, animals go extinct every day. Around the real Noah's ark sight at Mt Ararat, there are stone fences now falling, some were huge, big enough to hold small dinosaurs.

@plainsman2 ай бұрын
The perspective offered by hardcore creationists like Answers in Genesis forces people to choose between the Bible and modern science, and reinforces the harmful cultural stereotype that modern science and biblical Christianity cannot mix. Sadly, AiG and their ilk are staking the authority of the entire Bible -and Christianity itself - on the view that a global flood is a viable alternative to abundant scientific evidence for a much longer chronology of creation. To do so, they must add in many speculative details not found in the biblical text, and they must rely on a theory of post-Flood animal evolution in which species diversify at rates many times faster than any known biological mechanism. These theories, along with many others posited by young-earth creationists, are not based on any credible scientific evidence.

Phillips is and Orr was power hungry, ego maniacal, psychopathic and narcissistic and closed gay buddies. I know this for an absolute fact and can prove it. Phillips was drummed out of the Episcopal Church for good reason, had an active gay life style at Westminster Choir College and in seminary. They were ALWAYS using people to get what they wanted and then tossing them aside regardless of what it might do to others. THEY WERE CONSTANTLY COMMITTING WRONGFUL TERMINATIONS OF EMPLOYEES AND SLANDERRING THEM AFTERWARDS! No attorney would touch the case due to the fact of their connection to organized crime. They always got their hands on money through blackmail and coercion and dealing with the mob. They kept a set of secret financial records apart from the diocese, blackmailed a financial officer who threatened to resign after finding out, and "doctored" Texas state Accreditation Records to make themselves look great. Orr was especial brutal and abusive to children and had a "thing" for boys! I AND OTHERS KNOW ALL THIS, TRIED TO BRING IT ALL TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DIOCESAN BISHOP WHO SWEPT IT UNDER COVER. I HAD ACCESS TO ALL OFFICES AND DOCUMENTS AND MADE COPIES OF FILES.

Hi there! I am Mariana, the tour guide from the video! I wanted to thank Rick first of all for providing this little time capsule. It is interesting to see how much I have grown as a tour guide! The mine shafts extend 8000 ft. below the surface. Even with ventilation and cooling systems, we could only cool that level to 105°F. Everything below the 5000 foot level is flooded. There is a constant stream of rainwater from the surface down into the mine. Our experiments at SURF occur at the 4850 feet level, which is also referred to as the Davis Campus. Thank you so much for your question!
