"We see a full-scale, wooden ark as something so significant that it will shake up this nation," Ham said. "It would be a clear reminder to America about the truths of the Bible. The building of a huge ark is a unique and powerful opportunity to reach millions in our nation (and around the world) with a bold statement: God's word is true."

What a dip****!

Because the fact that modern man using modern tools building a boat that does not float, somehow proves that a more primitive man, using simple tools could, in fact build a boat that will float with two of every one of the millions of species of animals.

Makes sense... not to me, but it must make sense to someone.

2012 is real!
They are secretly creating the arks by pretending that they are tourist attractions

Well, I think they should demonstrate it is possible, not by building a full size mock-up, but by building a full size boat, out of wood, using period techniques. It should, of course, be built by a single man, but I'd be happy with an entire construction team. They can then demonstrate the truth of the story by placing it in the ocean, and loading two of every animal into it, along with all the food and supplies needed for the animals and the eight person crew.

I can't think of any reason it wouldn't work...




And if it doesn't someone can at least film it and make it a new History Channel show.

HAM? Really??

This is too stoopid to be true, which means it must be so. >>CLICK<<

I would have no interest in seeing the results of conjecture inspired by a parable or allegory.

If I was in town, and if it didn't cost anything, I wouldn't mind seeing a curiousity.

First thing I thought of, too.

But I agree. Even if the story were to be true (after all, God can do anything) this wouldn't prove it

They found what suppose to be Noah's Ark half buried in a mountain their was photos taken of it. It was massive in size the timber exposed dated back 1000s of years old. Somewhere in Turkey, I think..

In multiple locations, by multiple discoverers, all claim to be the true ark.

Sigh.....

If it was full size, I'd be interested just to see the supposed 'historically accurate' construction techniques and general ship handling of those days.

Yea but I think the one in Mt Ararat is ''The Ark'' man, its too big to be an ordinary boat. Who knows.

I'd take a look, for curiosity's sake.

Anyway, the next project must surely by the Tower of Babel?

Although not necessarily the dumbest thing I have ever heard of, this ark business sits very high in the top three...

Oddly enough the other contenders both involve religion. Go figure.
