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.

It's non fiction. Everything in the Bible is backed by archeological evidence. There's prophecies that are being fulfilled to this day. The ancient Roman's did an excellent job of documenting their empire, and they did record Jesus' crucifixion by Pontius Pilate. He didn't understand why the people wanted him crucified.

[@juicedgoose]

There's only 1 Roman mention of the crucifixion: Tacitus in 115AD.

My wife and I recently visited the ark encounter and we found it to be first class in every way. It was a very inspiring day and we left with a deeper understanding for truth and that God’s word is a history book. We pray that God continues to bless these efforts to bring him glory and spread the saving gospel of Jesus Christ. I would encourage everyone to plan a visit to the ark encounter, if you are a believer in this new and better covenant of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ or not. There was a door on the ark to enter in and escape judgment and judgment will come upon the earth for a second and final time. This time Jesus is that door. Get there early and plan on spending the whole day if you can, there is much to see much to do and much to learn.

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.

[@YouToobeism]

@DMCOGBURN said "Noah must have had some Divine help". Or, better explanation; Noah and his ark never existed. It is just a Sunday school story with a dubious moral message. Think about it; if god was omnipotent why would he not blink all the sinners out of existence and save all the newly-born babies from drowning? If god was omniscient why would he not have foreseen the return of sinful ways when he gave Noah's grand kids, cousins all, no choice but to marry each other?

@YouToobeism I sometimes wonder why hopeless atheists come here - but the Bible says: "They scoff and mock." Why answer a question you have absolutely no interest in understanding? It would be pointless. Keep believing the scientific impossibility that everything came from nothing - we'll see if that gets you through. By the way, the heathen sacrificed ( killed) their children to Molech. Nobody on earth was righteous or innocent. Then again, when you become God, let us know. "If God gave me His power, I would change the world." "And if God gave me His wisdom I would leave things exactly the way they are." -- I'm sure that's over your head, too..

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.

[@donlimoncelli6108]

Ken Ham knows that to have the stamp of authority that science gives is valuable. It makes the Ark and the Flood Story sound authentic and therefore believable, and therefore sells more tickets. So he just portrays it all as if it really was scientific. But it's not. His stories do not have the acceptance of the scientific community because they have not been through the wringer of being published in a peer-reviewed journal and withstood the scrutiny of experts in the field who have studied the issues for decades and decades. Don't misunderstand. It's not that Ken Ham and his colleagues are forbidden from publishing their research in any of these journals. They could do it today if they wanted. It's open and available to anyone. But to get a seal of approval like that is hard work. To claim that your ideas deserve the same recognition and acceptance without having done the hard work is like stealing from those who actually put forth the effort. It's like the civilian equivalent of "stolen valor" in the military.

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.

[@YouToobeism]

It was a work of art and proof of concept that the ark could have been built the way the Bible says. Those huge beams crisscrossing throughout the ship looked strong enough to withstand huge waves pressing against Port and starboard and the bow and stern looked like they could withstand being battered with floating logs. The stones tied under the ship would make sure that it received the least amount of flex and twist and swaying back and forth. And as for having to with stand crashes with mountain sides, God guided it smartly into the gentle curve of a mountain and settled it down there to wait until the rest of the water abated..❤❤❤❤

One was called the Leviathan They were not called Dinosaurs. As for a passenger manifest for the animals on the Ark I haven't found one of them yet, but if you read History there are many stories with some proof that dragons were a real thing, like the heads of dragons being brought back with the Knights from a fight with them. The Chinese celebrate the year of the dragon. Many buildings have images of Dragons protecting the building.

Wasn't he deputized for the great reset; where sin was to be left behind? And it makes more sense to say, since the documented dinosaurs did, in fact, die off 65 mya, that the world could not be only 6,000 years old.

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.

Scripture doesn't say exactly but if you do the math it probably took 50 to 75 years to build.

All the great cathedrals of Europe were built without electricity. Noah would have had metal tools including saws.

@@criss_x Have you done any research on this at all? If you don't believe the ark was real that's fine but you're making several incorrect assumptions. There were nowhere near 2 million species on the ark, most likely it was less than 5000 animals total. They only needed 2 of each "kind" and 7 of each clean bird and mammal. Kind is not the same as species, it's closer to either genus or family on the taxonomic scale. There were no fish on the ark and no insects, only land animals. Fish, amphibians, insects, etc can survive in water and on floating debris. I'm not sure why you think freshwater fish would die in a flood, since rain is freshwater, but even secular scientists believe the oceans were only slightly salty to start out with. So if all the water on earth mixed together it would have a very low level of salinity. Also the ark was over 500 feet long (not exactly a "rinky dink" boat) and they were only on it for one year.

Signs and symptoms The following can indicate a delusion:[16] The patient expresses an idea or belief with unusual persistence or force, even when evidence suggests the contradictory. That idea appears to have an undue influence on the patient's life, and the way of life is often altered to an inexplicable extent. Despite their profound conviction, there is often a quality of secretiveness or suspicion when the patient is questioned about it. The individual tends to be humorless and oversensitive, especially about the belief. There is a quality of centrality: no matter how unlikely it is that these strange things are happening to the patient, he/she accepts them relatively unquestioningly. An attempt to contradict the belief is likely to arouse an inappropriately strong emotional reaction, often with irritability and hostility. They will not accept any other opinions. The belief is, at the least, unlikely, and out of keeping with the patient's social, cultural, and religious background. The patient is emotionally over-invested in the idea and it overwhelms other elements of his/her psyche. The delusion, if acted out, often leads to behaviors which are abnormal and/or out of character, although perhaps understandable in light of the delusional beliefs. Individuals who know the patient observe that the belief and behavior are uncharacteristic and alien. Additional features of delusional disorder include the following:[16] It is a primary disorder. It is a stable disorder characterized by the presence of delusions to which the patient clings with extraordinary tenacity. The illness is chronic and frequently lifelong. The delusions are logically constructed and internally consistent. The delusions do not interfere with general logical reasoning (although within the delusional system the logic is perverted) and there is usually no general disturbance of behavior. If disturbed behavior does occur, it is directly related to the delusional beliefs. The individual experiences a heightened sense of self-reference. Events which, to others, are nonsignificant are of enormous significance to him or her, and the atmosphere surrounding the delusions is highly charged.

Notice the skilled crew, high tech tools and machinery, raw materials, hundred million dollar price tag, and the absence of leak testing under stormy conditions on the ocean. This is not Noah's Ark. It is a building designed to look like a ship with cages of fake animals and audio sounds of animals that Ken's imaginary god transported from around the world. Ken is serious about his Creationist worldview but I think most visitors came to admire the skilled craftsmanship that went into building Ken's Playhouse. Thanks for allowing comments that AIG blocks.

Why do you care and what have you built?

[@hifijohn]

I'm assuming the guys who design this aren't creationist but real engineers, I hope they took wind and snow load into consideration and hopefully its design to shed rain when it rains, and building in on top of concrete columns don't sound like the brightest idea.They think it may physically collapse before it economically collapses.

[@utuupnaulak9168]

Didn't you watch the whole video? It was designed just as how the Bible told Noah to build an Ark

[@user-vn8so9rf3d]

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,.

[@pixxip1]

You try getting 4000 BC building code permits approved by 21st century lawmakers. They’d say, “Noah proval.”

[@seanhettenbach2101]

So this took about 6 years to create. Noah would have likely had 50-75 years to create his ark.

[@gehtdianschasau8372]

Noah had bigger cranes, faster drilling machines, his glue dried quicker, his saws where sharper, he didn't us hex bolts, so he could produce them faster, there was more forrests so the trucks didn't have to drive so far to bring in the wood... there are manny reasons, why noah was so fast.

Why couldn't god just build, or should I say "create" it?

[@grandpapepespowerpartners5608]

because by that time he has assigned the things of earth to people, made in his image.

Wouldn't even have to do that. Just do a 'parting of the waters' and let the animals and the 8 chosen ones shelter there.

[@jonnyw82]

You think any of the project members no longer believed in the historicity of Noah’s Ark after they built the actual ark realizing how hard it was to build even with modern machinery and equipment, modern materials, a team of thousands of men including architecture, building and design experts, 1.5 million board feet of heavy timber etc?

[@alantasman8273]

Noah spent some 75 years building the Ark...Much could be built during 75 years by Noah and his sons without the modern day machinery we take for granted today. Of course they lived much longer back then and they were very smart individuals being assisted by the one true God.
