Please introduce us to the 6 men and 2 women who built this “Ark”. You built it according to the Bible right? You didn’t use a construction company and use mechanical tools to build it? That’s what I love about Christians. They’ll believe and try to sell anything regardless of facts.

The Ark Encounter is nothing but A FLOOD OF LIES! The Christian grifters who built this scam of a carnival sideshow pick the pockets of people who are uneducated and unwilling to believe in science.

Look up " What Ken Ham isn't telling you about ark encounter funding". Then you will see the truth. This guy is a master con-man.

So this proves the ark is impossible. All the massive cranes and work force of hundreds. But a 600 year old noah and his sons built it 4,000 years ago. Hahahahaha, Hahahahaha Hahahahaha. Do not spend your money making Ham richer.

Every carpenter on that job would tell you that some 600-year-old guy wouldn't be able to build such a thing.

For God so loved the world, he built a new ark. Jesus, if we get on board, we will be delivered.

God has Positioned this 3D Ark 🎉🎉"The Mother of all Ships"

How much income does the ark and it's souvenir shops and restaurants generate? How much does it increase the tax base?

I think it's financing, government and assistance, and government subsidy would be more interesting.

Did they carve into any of the timbers “Japheth was here” or “Shem wears army sandals” or “Ham doesn’t know the difference between a cubit and a handbreath” any other period appropriate graffiti anywhere on the Ark?

Just got back from visiting!!! I HAD TO KNOW HOW IT CAME TO BE it was very eye opening and great fellowship

Amazing that a 600-year-old man could build this massive structure with minimal assistance and much resistance, stock it with enough food for every species on earth, and make it seaworthy in a turbulent storm with endless miles of rocky shores. He must have had to transport thousands of tons of wood from somewhere, since he was building it in a treeless region of Mesopotamia. At least he would have access to lots of "pitch" from the oil-rich region. To have tamed at least 7,000 wild animals would be a daunting task in itself. Then, he would have had to fend off all of his fellow humans seeking to survive the flood. Everything about this ancient adventure in navigation seems MIRACULOUS!

Truly amazing!

Brother Ham, Thank you for answering the call to the mission field if the USA ! 🇺🇸 I look forward to seeing the Ark Encounter maybe this fall. 🍂 🍁

This was a great time, including live zoo, zip lines for adults and children. Children's playground. Transportation from your car to ark. We have heard comments that this is outdated concept. You are missing out on a great experience. Nice work and detail. Thank you Mr. Ham.

May 1, 2024..... GO....it is an amazing experience. The Holy Spirit will show you this is true if you seek the Truth. Matthew 6.

The Bible says there will always be scoffers and mockers, which is true!

A never existed Ark for the never happened Flood --- a monument to man's stupidity.

Absolutely fascinating ❤put it on your Bucket List

عمل رائع وجميل وتعليمي مفيد وممتع ومقنع ومعزي جداً جداً الرب يبارك حياتكم يآرب امين

In spite of Ken Ham’s best efforts to show otherwise, by building the ark he demonstrates the hyperbole in the Flood story. Yes, he has succeeded in building an ark the dimensions of Noah’s ark (510 feet long). As I looked at the online video of the construction, though, I noticed all of the cranes, the metal scaffolding that keeps the structure from collapsing, the power tools, and last but not least the many, many skilled craftsmen and craftswomen who were building this large boat. I end up asking myself, could Noah and his family have built an ark of this dimension by themselves using only primitive tools? Let’s remember too that the time of Noah is well before the manufacture of iron, bronze, or cooper tools. I think the answer to our question is a decided “no”. The flood story is FILLED with hyperbole that would likely have been recognized by its ancient audience as a figurative description of an event in order to produce an effect and make a theological point, and NOT an example of ancient journalism or accurate science.

This is fascinating🤔.

Built just like Noah did it 😂

Did Noah have these type cranes when he and family built the arc?

I've been to the ark twice and look forward to going again

I was hoping this would be an explanation of how the Arc was built. Disappointed to really see a building being constructed and not an accurate boat construction of the time, say 4000 BC using tools and equipment from this time. I note that some ship restorations and replicas do use authentic constructions and processes - I have just watched the rebuild of an 1874 sailing ship mast rig - While they used cranes to speed the work, they also used traditional methods and sequences for some components as demonstrations to accurately show how the work was done. I feel this Arc fails for me as it is not a true replica that historically demonstrates an authentic Arc using Noah's technology, rather it is a modern film set. This Arc is not a replica and shows that Christians can not be trusted to represent the truths in the Bible,.

Como pueden ser tan ingenuos para pagar e ver esta mentira del arca de Noé. Todo un cuento de los judios antiguos. 😮😮

It's amazing!! Exactly the same as Noah built it, using steel and concrete and cranes and power tools and everything!!! What a complete load of nonsense, drivel for the weak minded.

Acreditar nesta arca de Noé é como acreditar que existe um velhinho de barba branca montado num trenó voador puxado por renas 😂😂😂😂😂

After watching this video, it makes us realize Noah must have had some Divine help in building the ark, especially when he did it without all the heavy machinery it took to build this ark. My wife and I are going to see the Ark Encounter on Sept 20th, my birthday. We are really looking forward to it. Blessings and Maranatha, Lord Jesus.

Did you feel a calling to do that. I felt God telling me to do one that goes down the Ohio river between Louisville and jeff

WHAT A JOKE !

Test the boat on the open sea then if it is so realistic! And not on Concrete supports.

After reading a lot of these comments it reminds me of just how fed up I am with people. My girlfriend, her son and myself just spent an entire day at the ark and spent the day at the creation museum the day before, they were both amazing and very eye opening and educational and no I’m not some beat you over the head with a bible Christian I’m just a struggling 56 yr old trying to live half way how God wants me to live. Its simple if you want to believe in God and his word great than believe and go enjoy things like this if not just keep living like your living since you are the one who is going to have to answer for it, me personally I would rather live like there is a God and find out there isn’t one when I’m dead than life like there isn’t one and spend eternity in hell !

This time lapse at the end is amazing!

I am coming please ADONOI

Now I understand how Noah could build the ark.😂😊

What a waste.

Did Noah have all his own heavy lifting plant or did he have to hire it?

These people did a GREAT job Proving than Noah and his Family could not have even come close to finishing this project. The Ark Encounter took 7 years to build. With steel cranes, electricity, power tools, hundreds of guys, using precut dimensioned lumber….AND it s not built to float. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

1. The most common date given for the flood is 4400 years ago, right in the middle of the Egyptians first burst of city and temple building, why did they not notice they were under water? 2. To flood the planet to over top the highest mountain you would need about 3 to 4 times the known amount of water in the world, where did all that water come from? 3. After the flood, where did the water go? 4. How did 8 people build a wooden ship bigger than any wooden ship built in modern times when THAT ship was reinforced with steel bracing and still broke up and sank. 5. How did animals with odd diets get to the ark? 6. How did 8 people deal with the needs of 10000 animals on the ark? Each animal had to be fed, watered, exercised and the poop scooped. Working 12 hours a day they would need to deal with over 100 animals per hour. 7. If there were 10000 animals on the ark representing about 4000 species, and there is now about 8.7 million species on Earth, each species surviving the flood would have to generate 217 new species in the 4400 years since the flood. 8. If there were 10000 animals on the ark representing about 4000 species, and there is now about 8.7 million species on Earth, each species surviving the flood would have to generate 217 new species in the 4400 years since the flood. 9. Well according to the Book of Jasher, the wives ARE sisters. Jasher 5: 32-35 "And thou shalt choose for thy sons three maidens, from the daughters of men, and they shall be wives to thy sons. And Noah rose up, and he made the ark, in the place where God had commanded him, and Noah did as God had ordered him. In his five hundred and ninety-fifth year Noah commenced to make the ark, and he made the ark in five years, as the Lord had commanded. Then Noah took the three daughters of Eliakim, son of Methuselah, for wives for his sons, as the Lord had commanded Noah." If a species undergoes a population bottleneck, the lack of genetic diversity can be seen in the members of that species. NO such bottle neck exists in the overwhelming majority of species. 10. 4400 years is not a long enough time to generate the diversity in the human population to give rise to the different populations of people we see on the planet especially when you consider that effectively the genetic diversity was limited to 4 people, Noah and his wife and Eliakim and his wife. 11. Ken Ham's phony Ark has a million Dollar + heating, ventilation and air conditioning system that ensures that workers and visitors do not suffocate in the building. According to the bible, the original Ark had one window, 18 in square. Sorry people but if Ham's estimate of 1600 species represented by a minimum of 4000 animals, they would have suffocated. 12. There is NO trace of any global flood in the geology of the world. Lots of local and regional floods, yes, but NO global flood. 13. Oh and by the way, for those fools at CMI who think Noah's Flood was a real event, a Tomb has been discovered in Egypt dated to 4400 years ago, about the time of the mythical flood (according to many biblical creationists). This raises several questions. a. If the Tomb was built before the flood, how did it escape being flooded? b. If the Tomb was built after the flood, the Earth's population would have been devistated so who built the tomb? c. Why is this Tomb perfectly in line with Egyptian culture before and after the fairy tale flood? If everybody in Egypt were killed in the flood, the Egyptian culture from before the flood would have been lost.

I’m taking my family to see the Ark Encounter this summer, we’re so excited!!!

What a farce!! This monstrosity only proves how silly this fairy tale is. This thing will never see open water and it still need welded steel brackets to keep this thing from collapsing.

So! You wanted to make an authentic ark? Why then did you use power tools and cranes and factory produced lumber and hardware and had possibly hundreds of people working on it? Why did you not make it with 4 males (one very old) and 4 females and use tools of the age and source your lumber and hardware from nature (not from Home Depot) :) Think, however hard it is!

In total, over 1,000 craftsmen were employed in the ark's construction. Metal saw blades were used in the construction which were not invented until a thousand years after later. 95 tons of metal plates and bolts were used to connect the wood together. $100 million dollars on ancient Sumerian fiction.

Noah had no power equipment to build the Great Ark, he had God’s help. This Ark is amazing what a wonderful gift from our God Almighty.

PRAISE JESUS WE FINALLY HAVE PEOPLE STILL ALIVE TO BUILD THESE HUGE ARK , AMAZING , WHAT A BLESSING THIS IS TO SEE A MODERN DAY WORKERS BUILDING THIS ARK WITH THE TECHNOLOGY IN THIS YEAR 2016 , THANK YOU JESUS FOR THE BLESSINGS UPON ALLL THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE BEING A BLESSING TO THE WORLD !!!

Just look at the construction - what we have here is a half-boat shaped construction which does not need to be waterproof let alone float and survive the greatest storm ever for 40 days. Even so it needed lots of heavy machinery to achieve just a small part of what Noah allegedly managed. Why did they opt for all that metal reinforcement and huge nuts and bolts to hold the timbers together; why not use wooden pegs just as Noah would have to have done. Did nobody involved in the construction look critically at this project and conclude there is absolutely no way this vessel could have been constructed 4.500 years ago? Just a simple example, we have tree trunks which are 65 feet in length with a girth of maybe 9-10 feet and the only way to move them is by using a massive crane. Did nobody look at just that one aspect and wonder how Noah might have managed to do it? Can somebody from Ark Encounter or AIG please explain this to me because the only thing I can take from this is that the story of Noah's Ark is quite clearly non-factual. It could not possibly be true.

How could Noah’s family survive the stench with only one window??????
