Man Builds Noah's Ark (exact scale given in Bible)

Working Replica of Noah's Ark Opened In SCHAGEN, Netherlands . The

massive central door in the side of Noah's Ark was opened the first

crowd of curious townsfolk to behold the wonder. Of course, it's

only a replica of the biblical Ark , built by Dutch Creationist

Johan Huibers as a testament to his faith in the literal truth of

the Bible.

The ark is 150 cubits long, 30 cubits high and 20 cubits wide.

That's two-thirds the length of a football field and as high as a

three-story house. Life-size models of giraffes, elephants, lions,

crocodiles, zebras, bison and other animals greet visitors as they &nbs p;

arrive in the main hold. A contractor by trad e, Huibers built the

ark of cedar and pine. Biblical Scholars debate exactly what the

wood used by Noah would have been.

Huibers did the work mostly with his own hands, using modern tools

and with occasional help from his son Roy. Construction began in

May 2005. On the uncovered top deck - not quite ready in time for

the opening - will come a petting zoo, with baby lambs and

chickens, and goats, and one camel.

Visitors on the first day were stunned. 'It's past comprehension',

said Mary Louise Starosciak, who happened to be bicycling by with

her husband while on vacation when they saw the ark looming over

the local landscape.

'I knew the story of Noah, but I had no idea the boat would have

been so big.' There is enough space near the keel for a 50-seat

film theater where ki ds can watch a video that tells the story of

Noah and his ark. Huibers, a Christian man, said he hopes the

project will renew interest in Christianity in the Netherlands ,

where church going has fallen dramatically in the past 50 years.

Now that I am old and gray...give me the time to tell this new

generation (and their children too) about all Your mighty miracles. Psalm 71:18
