I think it was be really cool to see this ark replica in person. Its amazing that someone could build something that was written about thousands of years ago.

Yeah, wouldn't it be kinda cool if the fairy tale about Noah was true!

Except for him getting drunk and sodomized by his son.

Has he built it big enough to hold all the food and all the other millions of species from tree frogs to Cape Hunting Dogs? Very nice boat but don't know what he is trying to prove.

This "ark" is 1/5 the size of Biblical descriptions.

I want to know if it's still sitting on a barge.

If someone could build a full size Arc, then would it be structually sound, being made out of wood?

No. The largest wooden ship ever constructed was 300 ft long and heavily reinforced with steel. It leaked so badly bilge pumps had to run continually to keep it from sinking.

The Ark was supposedly ~450 ft long, all wood. A wood that no longer grows, no less.
