A life-size replica of Noah's Ark, built and moored in the Netherlands, could soon be making its way to Israel. The boat's Dutch builder, Johan Huibers, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) last week that he hopes to take the vessel to Israel. "This is a copy of God's ship. It only makes sense to take it to God's land," he said.
Yes. That makes perfect sense. I can find no faults with the logic whatsoever.
There's a small hitch though. Although it is sea-worthy, the wooden vessel has no motor so it will need to be pulled by tugboats. The cost is estimated at more than €1 million. His second boat, finished in 2013, is 124 metres long, 22 metres high and weighs 2,500 tons. Built with €4 million-worth of donations, the Ark can carry more than 5,000 people on its five decks.
Which unfortunately is probably too small to house the entire population of Creationists.

ReplyDelete“life size”?
ReplyDeleteI’m glad it’s rectangular and not boat shaped - that’s actually closer to the Biblical description.
Aaron Gilliland Oh, lots of reasons. All of them terrible.
ReplyDeleteNo mention that it clearly couldn't hold two of every animal even from a moderately large zoo... but that's nitpicking.
ReplyDeleteIIRC, this one is a building on a barge. Not an ocean going barge either.
ReplyDeleteIn other news, I'm making wings of feathers and wax, flight to the sun soon to follow.
ReplyDeleteA shoe-box sea-worthy? Can’t sail soon enough...
