I just visited the Ark Encounter yesterday. No matter how you believe, you have to admit that this is a very amazing exhibit! This is a must see! You can not appreciate the size of it until you are there. It can be seen from at least 2 miles away. I made a video of it.
@@nemo2341000you missed the point. Instead of wasting money in this garbage, it would've been more productive to build housing or feed the homeless. Isn't it what god wants? But instead they made it as a money making theme park. Shame and disgusting, wasting millions of money on a bronze age myth. What's worse is that, barely anyone goes there. Money down the drain 😂😂😂
It cost "Noah" nothing because he is a fictional character that never existed in that book of fiction (Bible)! A monument to a primitive fairy tale from a book of fiction (the Bible)!! They are charging the brainwashed suckers $40 a ticket to see that bullshit! I am glad that I have the intellect to be an atheist!
That price is ten bucks cheaper than going to Great America in Illinois. That's where people go to get dizzy and seasick on thrill rides. Those thrill ride seekers are a bunch of brainwashed suckers. I am glad I have the intellect to hate thrill rides and seasickness.
can you imagine what good this guy could have done with 100 million dollars, how many lives he could have helped like Jesus but he spent it to profit from.. A real Christian move
@GOD IS AN OPIATE FOR THE MASSES yes, and it's not just the bible that reports a flood. No one disputes a world wide flood. It sounds like you dont believe just because it's in the bible
@GOD IS AN OPIATE FOR THE MASSES I believe everything the bible says, blind faith. Yes I've been brain washed as a kid, and as a adult I still believe. Even though we think differently I still accept you
@@BestowalPants90 uhhh But it did sit there for years while 1 man built a ark for 2 of every animal... Btw there are millions of animal species, so even if they came in 2x2 every second thats at least 30 million seconds(if we lowball the #) lmao
@@BlueJtee Two of every KIND, not SPECIES. There is a huge difference. Of all those kinds, I'm willing to bet that nearly half lived in the water and didn't need to be "saved". Consider also that a great deal of the kinds are in fact very small and take up little space.
If you read up a little history on the project, you will realize this is because of today's building requirements, not because of strictly requirements for keeping the thing together.
@Mister Privacy No, I know the object you mean and its a natural rock formation. There are others like it in the same area. The biblical story of Noah's ark is a work of fiction.
@Mister Privacy What on earth are you talking about? Do you really believe the entire planet was covered in water to a depth sufficient to cover the highest mountain for a year?
My cousin & his wife got to see it about 3 1/2 yrs. ago & I enjoyed seeing their pictures... I would love to see it's impressive size & marvel at a sincere biblical recreation of Noah's Godly instructed handywork....
I see, so you think we actually went up in space..I think I will put my trust in the ark before i put my trust in NASA. Do a little research and see for yourself.

Reasons "Noah's Ark" was not possible 1) All plant-life/vegetation would die after being submerged for a year (in salty water no less) 2) Most sea life would die due to drop in salinity of approximately 85% 3) "Ark" would/could not be structurally sound, especially for a year. 4) Could not have collected "off continent" animals. 5) Most all, if not all insects (a vital part of food chain) would die. 6) According to the bible there is "no evolution". There couldn't be more than "7,000 kinds" of animals on earth now (there are many millions) 7) They could not have had enough food to last the years or decades it would take to grow food in the now salty soil. 8) 2, or even 7, is not enough animals to support genetic diversity for the species to survive. Same with humans with only 8. 9) 8 people could not water, feed and remove waste for likely 10,000+ animals daily. 10) The stench and fumes from the animal waste would be overwhelming and eventually toxic. 11) No way to acquire speciality diets, such as eucalyptus leaves for koala bears 12) No olive tree left alive for a leaf to be plucked from. Also, the tall mountains would be the first land exposed as the water "went somewhere". At nearly 30,000 feet they would be visible from much farther away than a bird could fly, well before what was left of olive trees (that grow at under 5,000 ft) would be accessible. Etc...... I know these are obvious and self evident, but sadly there are many that can't see that. EDIT: 13) Civilizations with recorded history from before the supposed time of "Noah's Ark" didn't record being underwater for about 1 year...
The ark was not a ship. Jonah was in a ship. The "animals" that went into the ark were not actual animals. they were people referred to as beasts, fowls of the air, and creeping things. The waters that came upon the ark were multitudes of wicked and violent people. The ark was merely God's protection over Noah and the people in the ark with him. I see why the world makes fun of Christians. These stories sound like fairy tales including the garden of Eden which was actually the first church, and the serpent was a human deceiver. Eve and Adam (men and women) were exposed to God. They were not actually physically naked. They had no sin so they were not ashamed. The tree of life was an individual who had Godly wisdom, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil was an individual or individuals who told lies and deceptions, and Adam (the people of the church) took of these lies and deceptions which angered God. The carnal mind is enmity against God. Most Christians and the modern so called church don't trust in the LORD but rather lean on their own understanding. Hope those who read this, read it with an open mind. It was difficult for me to take it in at first. God bless all you through Jesus Christ. Amen.
U Shine Funny how us atheists know the bible better than a lot of Christians. It supposedly rained for 40 days/night. The water didn't recede for about a year, a few day over I believe. answersingenesis.org/the-flood/how-long-did-the-flood-last/
Joshua - Are you for God or against him? Bc it sounds like you are against him. Pick a side? Cause it sounds like you do not believe his stories. I believe God's stories by faith. I believe his stories literally happened which brings more spiritual meaning only by the Holy Spirit.
Hahahaha - I am going to believe a website more then God's words, His Bible??? The living God has are ready touched my life. Land apeared after the 40 days. With God ALL THING ARE POSSIBLE!
U Shine It is a christian web site idiot. The waters did not recede as soon as it stopped raining. No one claims it only lasted 40 days, unless they are desperate to try to make it believable in the face of science, logic and common sense. And I don't have a side, I can't pick for or against something that doesn't exist. "His" followers can be real idiots though.
A problem that I'm seeing with people on here stating there was plenty of room on the ark for the animals as well as a years worth of supplies is that if you consider the volume required to hold the food compared to the volume of the ark, there is no way it could do it. Looking this all up, an elephant (assuming this might be the animal that eats the most, not counting any sauropods for those people that believe dinosaurs were on the ark) eats between 200-600 lbs of food a day so we can use the average of 400. I'm guessing Noah wasn't all about offering a lot of variety to the animals diet, so if we just settle on some kind of hay, an average 16"x18"x48" (8 cubic feet) square bale weighs around 100 lbs (square bales so it uses the available volume the most efficiently). So thats 4 bales a day for each elephant. Thats 32 cubic feet a day for food for just one elephant. Multiply by 365 days and thats 11680 cubic feet of space required. Multiply by 2 to account for the other elephant and we have 23,360 cubic feet. Now the ark was said to be approximately 450'x45'x75' in size, so if we consider it a rectangular prism and conveniently ignore that some of this volume would be lost due to the curvature of the bottom of the ship, the narrowing at the front, space occupied by internal structure and reinforcement, etc, we have a volume of 1518750 cubic feet. This may seem like a lot of space but the volume required just for the 2 elephants' food represents 1.54% of the total available volume of the ark. That may not seem like a significant number but that is a huge portion for just 2 of the many animals that are reported to have been on the ark. There doesn't seem to be any consistent answer as to how many animals were on the ark but I've seen a lot of comments about it being around 16000 pairs. So if .00625% of the animals require 1.54% of the available volume just for their food, there clearly will be some issues accommodating all the rest (the ark could not have carried enough food for just 65 pairs of elephants). Now I know people will claim that the animals could all have been really young, or that not every animal eats as much as an elephant, but remember, these calculations give an idealized volume to the ark, don't account for the volume that the animals will physically occupy, and don't account for the amount of freshwater required to have been stored as well. In case you are curious, If I had considered a sauropod dinosaur its about 1000 lbs of food a day so it comes out to be 3.8% of the total volume just for 1 pair of animals. The food for 26 pairs of sauropods would be pushing the ark to its limits.
You're missing one key factor. The bible says two of each kind. It dosent have to be a full grown African Elephant or a full grown Sauropod dinosaur. It was likely the smallest breed of that kind of animal and a juvenile. Smaller, eats less and it ready to reproduce right after the flood and has many reproductive years left.
It proves that scumbag con artist Ham is a very good businessman who will now raise his net worth from $25 million to over $100 million within a couple years on the backs of the stupid. Hopefully he will be caught breaking the law and go to prison where he belongs just like that piece of garbage Hovind.
Not to mention he doesn't have two of every animal species on board. Because for one, 16 million animals (and their food) couldn't fit. And number two, they would all attack and kill each other within an hour. Three, it would take years to find every species. Anyone who believes this story is literally mentally handicapped or very mentally sick.
I suspect that it is not insured because you know us heathen atheist we just like fire so damn much and we like to burn down things that are disgusting and a smack across the face of science. Logic reason. 😂😅🤣
Ironically there is a "Creation Museum" in Branson, Mo. The building is cut into layered limestone filled with hundreds of millions of years of fossils from the Mississippian era. Criniods, Blastoids, coral, shells, sea snails, etc. (BTW; Limestone & flint is dead sea creatures.) The truth about Earth's history is much more awesome and amazing than any 'Bible' tale.
Dave Cribbs That study mixes culture and tradition. Culture is the set of customs practiced by a group. Primates can have a culture - their own way of performing tasks. But a tradition is a task or mannerism with a symbolic meaning, usually connected to a deity. But it can be for any abstract reason, like having red hair. To use the study's example: Chimps don't attribute their way of collecting honey from a log to a god or something special. They just learned it that way from their elders and every other chimp in their group does it that way, too. *It's a culture but it's not really a tradition.*
***** definition of tradition: a way of thinking, behaving, or doing something that has been used by the people in a particular group, family, society, etc., for a long time... Tradition is in essence what creates a culture. More importantly splitting the hairs on whether it is tradition or culture that drives people to believe absurd stories is fucking ridiculous. It is clear that culture precedes the human race and that it is often followed blindly and mindlessly by our ape friends. You can call it what you want, but it is this repetition of what papa and mama thought me, that is one of the main driving forces behind believing bronze age myths in the age of computers.
Thanks for sharing this video. Really great! We just have here an rebuild arc in half of the original scale (75 meters) for a visit in our harbor in Wilhelsmhaven/Germany and its amacing how big it is. So we got very courious to find more stuff about Noahs arc. And found your video. Wow this one is really huge and so impressive! God bless you and many grettings from Germany. Henning
@JESSE B Yes, it will go out of business. Just wait. Ham's already whining that Atheists are responsible for poor attendance numbers. The wood on the "ark" is rotting and the road to the ark has taken water damage (ironically) that Ham's insurance won't cover. This ark will sink in due time.

@@TameImpala521 you're a fucking moron if you think you can keep every land animal in existence (plus all freshwater fish) alive on a boat for a hundred plus days AND "restart" the human AND animal kingdom through incest, PERIOD. Noah's Ark is a complete fantasy story, anyone with any logic whatsoever should be able to figure that out. Sadly there are a ton of indoctrinated idiots like yourself that lack basic critical thinking abilities. Not to mention there has never been a worldwide flood in the history of mankind. Maybe learn some basic physics before ignorantly defending an obvious fairytale as if it could possibly be factual?
@patchris07 *_" Sorry the idea of "kind" eludes you"_* it eludes EVERYBODY. Nobody has ever had the balls to define what the buybull means by "kind". *_"As to fresh water fish? Lmao"_* fish are VERY fragile and die easily when their specific pH is disturbed. the fact you can name a few fish that can survive in both fresh and salt water is embarrassingly irrelevant. Also, HOW THE F would *_ANY_* fish breathe when the mother of all storms is churning up dirt, and debris and dead things everywhere?! *_"we don't even know what the "kinds" existed then"_* chew on this fact: 99.9% of all life that ever existed is now extinct. SURELY this posits noah would have needed 99.9% more kinds! Chew on that fact a bit. *_" let's ignore that in a fresh water flood salt water is denser than fresh water"_* but it supposedly rained for 40 days and nights, how long do you suppose it would take for the salt water to settle? I challenge you to show evidence fish would have lasted more than a few hours. Tropical fish require warm water, others demand cool brackish water... HOW would they all survive?! *_"But I'm sure I've overloaded you"_* No, your Dunning Kruger Syndrome doesn't overload anyone. Being scientifically illiterate isn't something you should be shouting on the rooftops or wearing like a badge on your sleeve. *_"Can you breed two rat terriers and make a wolf? Nope"_* and not a single scientist has ever said this was possible. What's your point?
I thank God the creator , for raising a man like Mr. Ham who would be bold enough to proclaim truth no matter who he encounter. All praise and glory to God who's fullness is in Jesus Christ.
+vernonclassic That's what you get, sometimes, when you argue with religious people. You then come to the conclusion "what does that have to do with anything?".

+vernonclassic Ok sorry I thought you were just playing with words, this argument being absolutely a useless nonsense itself... Nevermind what I said, then !
So Christians wasted billions of dollars to build Noah's Ark, instead of using that money to help homeless people and Veterans. That's really smart of them to spread the word of the gospel. (sarcasm)
Jesus responds to the idiot Judas that made the same stupid reply you did by stating, "The poor you have with you always." If you read your Bible before you made that ignorant statement maybe you would have known that...
CJ99 Those aren't Christians mr ignorant. Just because they call theirselves Christians doesn't mean they are. Jesus said give to the poor. They obviously don't care about that. Stop slandering God.
Christians do help peopel. Organizations like World Vision, Samaritan's Purse, Youth With a Mission, Catholic Relief Services, and Compassion provide food, clothing, medical care, education, and job training. They also teach agricultural skills. Organizations like Voice of the Martyrs, Servants of the Persecuted Church assist political refugees. Many, many churches have homeless and battered women's shelters, soup kitchens, and free clothing shops
RuleofFive Second Peter chapter 3 we are warned that there will come a day when many do not believe in the creation or flood stories. Bill is willingly ignorant. All true science points to creation and catastrophism, not uniformitarianism and evolution. Bill believes in evolution. Any way dinosaurs couldnt have died out before the flood. The flood was the earths first judgement.
1. Its the perfect cover for any religion to claim in its text that people will doubt its followers or its stories. Of course people doubt the bible. The Noah's Ark Story is one of the most difficult to believe for a dozen reasons. 2. I'm not sure what you mean by "true science". There is only science and scientific discovery made through the scientific method: observation, hypothesis, data collection, experimentation and peer review leading to publication in a scientific journal. 3. Concerning evolution I will tell you there is more evidence for evolution then for gravity. The only debate about the validity of evolution is from dogmatic religious people. 4. Dinosaurs: they died out 65.5 million years ago when a meteorite hit the earth. I know Ken Ham really believes the bible but many parts of it are categorically false....
RuleofFive The WAY is narrow and few there be who find it. I take it that you are a broad path person. Many others in this generation have the same views as you. Truth is not determined by popular vote.
They didn't get the T-rex on the boat, you anti-Christian, Hillary-loving, Sharia-law-wanting, Satan-worshipping, Hellbound liberal! That's the real story behind the extinction of the dinosaurs! Do some research before you talk about something you don't know nothing about, you God-hating Islam-seeking atheist! They made the Ark doors too small for T-rex, because he was a king of tyranny, and Americans won't put up with kings or tyranny, see? God can do anything! Which, of course, begs the question why he needed Noah's help in the first case, but we can always fall back on 'God moves in mysterious ways, just like a U2 song!" So, there!
No no no you got me all wrong. I was thinking about all the good times they were having while god was slaughtering everyone else. It is not genocide if god does it, we should call it funocide!
It is sad that so many had to die because they would not listen to the warnings. They scoffed and made rude remarks to Noah and his family when they tried to warn them. Would you be laughing and having fun if you had warned your friends about a catastrophe and offered them safety and they would not listen; then as you saw the rising waters this would be a celebration to you? Who would think such a thing!

@@Saldivinorum I guess you were around and watched “millions” of years pass to see how exactly everything unfolded. Oh wait... you are just repeating what you’ve heard.

It is estimated that design and consulting fees for this phase of the hospital build make up roughly 15% of the total cost of the project, meaning for a 300,000-square-foot hospital, around $16,875,000 on average.
It was great seeing a "life-size" Ark with the dimensions as stated in the Bible. Pretty awe-inspiring. I don't get why people are against it though. I'm really glad Ken Ham took the risk to build it, and it's definitely a sight to behold. I recommend going there if you have the chance.
The ark or argha is a symbol of the female womb and the entry of Noah (Phallus) begins a journey of 284 days which is significant to all mothers. The red Adam is another phallus symbol. The biblical penis is also called Asher/Aser/Assur. The penis (Asher) and two testicles, Anu/Oni and Hoa/Hea form a trinity of gods. Asher the Penis became one of the tribes of Israel (Saturn), Levi = Anu, the right testicle and northern fish in Pisces, Simeon = Hea, the left testicle and the western fish in Pisces. and there is the story of Jacob wrestling with "god" his penis and as a result he became a Eunuch before he "impregnated" Rachel/Isis with Benjamin. Benjamin is a son of the mother alone, just like the Greek Uranus and Jesus of a thousand names.
222ableVelo “They did not like to retain God in their knowledge” This is why they hate the Ark encounter and why they wanted to kill Jesus. The light reveals their darkness so they want to kill the light instead of accept Gods atonement🎚 Adams descendants are still running from God.

It would not only destroy itself under it's own weight, but thermal warping would rip it apart long before it could be completed. So, he did what all creatards do; he lied. The piles are steel reinforced concrete, and the superstructure is steel, hidden by wood veneer. And yet the gullible morons believe it. Luckily, very few of them go there to waste their money. Even religitards can be smart at times...

One elephant alone would starve to death or die of dehydration in a month or less. Elephants require about 10 percent of their body weight per day (200 to 600 lbs) and 50 gallons of water per day. That fact alone disproves this myth, lol.
The "Ark" wasn't a ship, it was a box. The Greek word for box is tebla. Like in Ark of the Covenant, which has NEVER been shown as a ship. And the "Ark" being built in Kentucky has MULTIPLE windows. The Ark of the Bible had ONE window and ONE door. I can't fathom the stench of that box when filled with thousands of creatures, all defecating and urinating daily. How did 8 people manage to feed each critter daily and remove the waste? Just a story created by men.

I dislike how people always say "Every culture has a flood story". No, every culture does not. Every culture who originated from the Mesopotamia region has a flood story, because there was a flood in that specific area of the world once upon a time. At no time has the whole world flooded. There is not enough water on Earth for that to happen.
WILLIAMSTOWN, Ky. - The owners of Northern Kentucky's Ark Encounter -- a wooden replica of the biblical Noah's Ark -- are suing over rain damage. Yes, really. The replica ark itself survived several years of heavy rains, but flooding caused landslides along the park's access roads. The Ark Encounter's insurance carriers refused to cover nearly $1 million in damages. Court documents filed in district court show that the owners of the Ark Encounter in Williamstown, Kentucky, have filed a suit against their insurance company after flood and storm damage. Crosswater Canyon Inc. and the Ark Encounter have filed suit against multiple defendants who comprise the business' insurance underwriters after their property was damaged by heavy rains. According to the suit, heavy rains caused a landslide and some structural support damage near the ark exhibit. The ark itself was not damaged
Christian theme park complete with 'Josh Duggar Experience" and the 'Deliverance Ride'.....Banjo strumming 'ear worm' stuck in your brain for weeks......Guaranteed!
How did they regulate temperature for the range of animals, from Arctic to Tropical? Where was all the food stored for the herbivores, and where were the other animals housed to feed the carnivores?
Oh come on, he had a couple of sons & a wife to tell him to move things up & down a bit & elephant trucks & giraffe cranes & beaver sawmills & err.....err... rainbows & unicorns?
Laugh all you want. California makes all the money, the innovation, even most of the agriculture. All the other states suck at the government's teat relative to California.
What a blessing, God bless you Ken Ham, thank you for this monument to the truth of our creator and one true God. I don't care who insults our faith or scoffs at the Bible. I'll praise the Lord through all trials and tribulations till the end of my days on this earth until Jesus returns to take his throne.
If it was possible to put this large wooden boat in the water, flipping over, in less than a minute, would be the result ! --- Imagine this boat in a ''global ocean'' with monster waves !!!
"Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly." - 2 Peter 3
Probably a lot since there would be multiple floors. Imagine having to feed all of the animals their respective diets 2 times a day for 40 days, and the clean up afterward 0_0
Noah had 125 years to build the ark. They were smarter than most people today. How did the Egyptians build the Pyramids? We couldn't do that today. Go figure that one out smarty.
I just visited the Ark Encounter yesterday. No matter how you believe, you have to admit that this is a very amazing exhibit! This is a must see! You can not appreciate the size of it until you are there. It can be seen from at least 2 miles away. I made a video of it.

@@nemo2341000you missed the point. Instead of wasting money in this garbage, it would've been more productive to build housing or feed the homeless. Isn't it what god wants?

100 million to build that? I wonder how much it cost Noah.
and he's charging $40 bucks to people who wanna tour it..lol this is kind of a waste of money
Not to mention all the modern construction equipments and other technologies that were used to build that.
It cost "Noah" nothing because he is a fictional character that never existed in that book of fiction (Bible)! A monument to a primitive fairy tale from a book of fiction (the Bible)!! They are charging the brainwashed suckers $40 a ticket to see that bullshit! I am glad that I have the intellect to be an atheist!

bullshit... 😂😂😂😂😂
That price is ten bucks cheaper than going to Great America in Illinois. That's where people go to get dizzy and seasick on thrill rides. Those thrill ride seekers are a bunch of brainwashed suckers. I am glad I have the intellect to hate thrill rides and seasickness.

If you read up a little history on the project, you will realize this is because of today's building requirements, not because of strictly requirements for keeping the thing together.
It isn't a boat its a building made with modern technology and hundreds of workers.

Im late for work now
Why are they using circular saws to cut the wood. Those weren't around in the old testament. Build it the way Noah did. Use only hand tools.
Jo The Great STFU this America ,time is money!!!!!
Jo The Great Hand tools and only six people. I guess ten people would be more generous but, no cranes!!!😉
Jo The Great evan did in evan Almighty
Yea right they would be there for 30 years
They took over 100 years according to the bible so would not be practice to do it that way.
Reasons "Noah's Ark" was not possible
1) All plant-life/vegetation would die after being submerged for a year (in salty water no less)
2) Most sea life would die due to drop in salinity of approximately 85%
3) "Ark" would/could not be structurally sound, especially for a year.
4) Could not have collected "off continent" animals.
5) Most all, if not all insects (a vital part of food chain) would die.
6) According to the bible there is "no evolution". There couldn't be more than "7,000 kinds" of animals on earth now (there are many millions)
7) They could not have had enough food to last the years or decades it would take to grow food in the now salty soil.
8) 2, or even 7, is not enough animals to support genetic diversity for the species to survive. Same with humans with only 8.
9) 8 people could not water, feed and remove waste for likely 10,000+ animals daily.
10) The stench and fumes from the animal waste would be overwhelming and eventually toxic.
11) No way to acquire speciality diets, such as eucalyptus leaves for koala bears
12) No olive tree left alive for a leaf to be plucked from. Also, the tall mountains would be the first land exposed as the water "went somewhere". At nearly 30,000 feet they would be visible from much farther away than a bird could fly, well before what was left of olive trees (that grow at under 5,000 ft) would be accessible.
Etc......
I know these are obvious and self evident, but sadly there are many that can't see that.
EDIT:
13) Civilizations with recorded history from before the supposed time of "Noah's Ark" didn't record being underwater for about 1 year...
The ark was not a ship. Jonah was in a ship. The "animals" that went into the ark were not actual animals. they were people referred to as beasts, fowls of the air, and creeping things. The waters that came upon the ark were multitudes of wicked and violent people. The ark was merely God's protection over Noah and the people in the ark with him. I see why the world makes fun of Christians. These stories sound like fairy tales including the garden of Eden which was actually the first church, and the serpent was a human deceiver. Eve and Adam (men and women) were exposed to God. They were not actually physically naked. They had no sin so they were not ashamed. The tree of life was an individual who had Godly wisdom, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil was an individual or individuals who told lies and deceptions, and Adam (the people of the church) took of these lies and deceptions which angered God. The carnal mind is enmity against God. Most Christians and the modern so called church don't trust in the LORD but rather lean on their own understanding. Hope those who read this, read it with an open mind. It was difficult for me to take it in at first. God bless all you through Jesus Christ. Amen.
U Shine Funny how us atheists know the bible better than a lot of Christians.
It supposedly rained for 40 days/night. The water didn't recede for about a year, a few day over I believe.
answersingenesis.org/the-flood/how-long-did-the-flood-last/
Joshua - Are you for God or against him? Bc it sounds like you are against him. Pick a side? Cause it sounds like you do not believe his stories. I believe God's stories by faith. I believe his stories literally happened which brings more spiritual meaning only by the Holy Spirit.
Hahahaha - I am going to believe a website more then God's words, His Bible??? The living God has are ready touched my life. Land apeared after the 40 days. With God ALL THING ARE POSSIBLE!
U Shine It is a christian web site idiot. The waters did not recede as soon as it stopped raining. No one claims it only lasted 40 days, unless they are desperate to try to make it believable in the face of science, logic and common sense.
And I don't have a side, I can't pick for or against something that doesn't exist. "His" followers can be real idiots though.
A problem that I'm seeing with people on here stating there was plenty of room on the ark for the animals as well as a years worth of supplies is that if you consider the volume required to hold the food compared to the volume of the ark, there is no way it could do it. Looking this all up, an elephant (assuming this might be the animal that eats the most, not counting any sauropods for those people that believe dinosaurs were on the ark) eats between 200-600 lbs of food a day so we can use the average of 400. I'm guessing Noah wasn't all about offering a lot of variety to the animals diet, so if we just settle on some kind of hay, an average 16"x18"x48" (8 cubic feet) square bale weighs around 100 lbs (square bales so it uses the available volume the most efficiently). So thats 4 bales a day for each elephant. Thats 32 cubic feet a day for food for just one elephant. Multiply by 365 days and thats 11680 cubic feet of space required. Multiply by 2 to account for the other elephant and we have 23,360 cubic feet. Now the ark was said to be approximately 450'x45'x75' in size, so if we consider it a rectangular prism and conveniently ignore that some of this volume would be lost due to the curvature of the bottom of the ship, the narrowing at the front, space occupied by internal structure and reinforcement, etc, we have a volume of 1518750 cubic feet. This may seem like a lot of space but the volume required just for the 2 elephants' food represents 1.54% of the total available volume of the ark. That may not seem like a significant number but that is a huge portion for just 2 of the many animals that are reported to have been on the ark. There doesn't seem to be any consistent answer as to how many animals were on the ark but I've seen a lot of comments about it being around 16000 pairs. So if .00625% of the animals require 1.54% of the available volume just for their food, there clearly will be some issues accommodating all the rest (the ark could not have carried enough food for just 65 pairs of elephants). Now I know people will claim that the animals could all have been really young, or that not every animal eats as much as an elephant, but remember, these calculations give an idealized volume to the ark, don't account for the volume that the animals will physically occupy, and don't account for the amount of freshwater required to have been stored as well.
In case you are curious, If I had considered a sauropod dinosaur its about 1000 lbs of food a day so it comes out to be 3.8% of the total volume just for 1 pair of animals. The food for 26 pairs of sauropods would be pushing the ark to its limits.
very well done
You're missing one key factor. The bible says two of each kind. It dosent have to be a full grown African Elephant or a full grown Sauropod dinosaur. It was likely the smallest breed of that kind of animal and a juvenile. Smaller, eats less and it ready to reproduce right after the flood and has many reproductive years left.
Perhaps you should watch the RUclips film “the best movie about the flood”.
I don’t believe there were dinosaurs on the ark. Although there were lots of other animals. I am sure that they were already extinct by then.
@@milesbrown8016 actually no, the dinosaurs were very much alive. If you watch “The best film on Noah’s Flood” on RUclips it will explain EVERYTHING
I Love the fact that most popular measure of length in America is Football feilds!

3:30 it should say “mechanical engineer” not science educator.
so building an ark with tools and insulation material that DID NOT exist during those times proves what?
It proves that scumbag con artist Ham is a very good businessman who will now raise his net worth from $25 million to over $100 million within a couple years on the backs of the stupid. Hopefully he will be caught breaking the law and go to prison where he belongs just like that piece of garbage Hovind.
Idiot. Go hate somewhere else.
ken ham is a first class con man. stop sticking up for the worm and open thy fuckin eyes
Not to mention he doesn't have two of every animal species on board. Because for one, 16 million animals (and their food) couldn't fit. And number two, they would all attack and kill each other within an hour. Three, it would take years to find every species. Anyone who believes this story is literally mentally handicapped or very mentally sick.
+Lisa Vega God called every animal to the ark please get your fact straight before you say anything
Noah had Tyvek building wrap? Ham is getting government tax money and is allowed to discriminate on the basis of religious doctrine in hiring?

@patchris07 why are you so angry 😂 amazing how religious people ready to fight.
Ironically there is a "Creation Museum" in Branson, Mo.
The building is cut into layered limestone filled with hundreds of millions of years of fossils from the Mississippian era. Criniods, Blastoids, coral, shells, sea snails, etc. (BTW; Limestone & flint is dead sea creatures.)
The truth about Earth's history is much more awesome and amazing than any 'Bible' tale.
You are absolutely right, but tradition is a curious thing in primates.
I'm so Furious I'm shaking my Bible and Snakes in anger over your demon planted fossils!!!!!
Dave Cribbs
That study mixes culture and tradition. Culture is the set of customs practiced by a group. Primates can have a culture - their own way of performing tasks. But a tradition is a task or mannerism with a symbolic meaning, usually connected to a deity. But it can be for any abstract reason, like having red hair.
To use the study's example: Chimps don't attribute their way of collecting honey from a log to a god or something special. They just learned it that way from their elders and every other chimp in their group does it that way, too. *It's a culture but it's not really a tradition.*
***** definition of tradition: a way of thinking, behaving, or doing something that has been used by the people in a particular group, family, society, etc., for a long time... Tradition is in essence what creates a culture. More importantly splitting the hairs on whether it is tradition or culture that drives people to believe absurd stories is fucking ridiculous. It is clear that culture precedes the human race and that it is often followed blindly and mindlessly by our ape friends. You can call it what you want, but it is this repetition of what papa and mama thought me, that is one of the main driving forces behind believing bronze age myths in the age of computers.
Same con from the same flagrant conman. Australias most shameful export.

What will happen to it when it goes out of business in a few years?
@JESSE B Yes, it will go out of business. Just wait. Ham's already whining that Atheists are responsible for poor attendance numbers. The wood on the "ark" is rotting and the road to the ark has taken water damage (ironically) that Ham's insurance won't cover.
This ark will sink in due time.

@Mister Privacy was being sarcastic.
@patchris07 *_" Sorry the idea of "kind" eludes you"_* it eludes EVERYBODY. Nobody has ever had the balls to define what the buybull means by "kind". *_"As to fresh water fish? Lmao"_* fish are VERY fragile and die easily when their specific pH is disturbed. the fact you can name a few fish that can survive in both fresh and salt water is embarrassingly irrelevant. Also, HOW THE F would *_ANY_* fish breathe when the mother of all storms is churning up dirt, and debris and dead things everywhere?! *_"we don't even know what the "kinds" existed then"_* chew on this fact: 99.9% of all life that ever existed is now extinct. SURELY this posits noah would have needed 99.9% more kinds! Chew on that fact a bit. *_" let's ignore that in a fresh water flood salt water is denser than fresh water"_* but it supposedly rained for 40 days and nights, how long do you suppose it would take for the salt water to settle? I challenge you to show evidence fish would have lasted more than a few hours. Tropical fish require warm water, others demand cool brackish water... HOW would they all survive?! *_"But I'm sure I've overloaded you"_* No, your Dunning Kruger Syndrome doesn't overload anyone. Being scientifically illiterate isn't something you should be shouting on the rooftops or wearing like a badge on your sleeve. *_"Can you breed two rat terriers and make a wolf? Nope"_* and not a single scientist has ever said this was possible. What's your point?
I thank God the creator , for raising a man like Mr. Ham who would be bold enough to proclaim truth no matter who he encounter. All praise and glory to God who's fullness is in Jesus Christ.

That's really smart of them to spread the word of the gospel. (sarcasm)
Jesus responds to the idiot Judas that made the same stupid reply you did by stating, "The poor you have with you always." If you read your Bible before you made that ignorant statement maybe you would have known that...
There will always be the poor. After this life, it is more important where you will be then than now.

CJ99 Those aren't Christians mr ignorant. Just because they call theirselves Christians doesn't mean they are. Jesus said give to the poor. They obviously don't care about that. Stop slandering God.
Christians do help peopel. Organizations like World Vision, Samaritan's Purse, Youth With a Mission, Catholic Relief Services, and Compassion provide food, clothing, medical care, education, and job training. They also teach agricultural skills. Organizations like Voice of the Martyrs, Servants of the Persecuted Church assist political refugees. Many, many churches have homeless and battered women's shelters, soup kitchens, and free clothing shops

An Ark? Another temple of ignorance by Ken Ham. Its wrong to teach children things we know are categorically false.
ignorance is shown here by bill nye.
Really? He's spent a good part of his life trying to educate and get children excited about science. Please explain.
RuleofFive Second Peter chapter 3 we are warned that there will come a day when many do not believe in the creation or flood stories. Bill is willingly ignorant. All true science points to creation and catastrophism, not uniformitarianism and evolution. Bill believes in evolution. Any way dinosaurs couldnt have died out before the flood. The flood was the earths first judgement.
1. Its the perfect cover for any religion to claim in its text that people will doubt its followers or its stories. Of course people doubt the bible.
The Noah's Ark Story is one of the most difficult to believe for a dozen reasons.
2. I'm not sure what you mean by "true science". There is only science and scientific discovery made through the scientific method:
observation, hypothesis, data collection, experimentation and peer review leading to publication in a scientific journal.
3. Concerning evolution I will tell you there is more evidence for evolution then for gravity. The only debate about the validity of evolution is from dogmatic religious people.
4. Dinosaurs: they died out 65.5 million years ago when a meteorite hit the earth. I know Ken Ham really believes the bible but many parts of it are categorically false....
RuleofFive The WAY is narrow and few there be who find it. I take it that you are a broad path person. Many others in this generation have the same views as you. Truth is not determined by popular vote.
It is funny to imagine 12 people furiously using buckets to bail out water for a year while yelling, "Whose turn is it to feed the T-Rex!"
They didn't get the T-rex on the boat, you anti-Christian, Hillary-loving, Sharia-law-wanting, Satan-worshipping, Hellbound liberal! That's the real story behind the extinction of the dinosaurs! Do some research before you talk about something you don't know nothing about, you God-hating Islam-seeking atheist! They made the Ark doors too small for T-rex, because he was a king of tyranny, and Americans won't put up with kings or tyranny, see? God can do anything! Which, of course, begs the question why he needed Noah's help in the first case, but we can always fall back on 'God moves in mysterious ways, just like a U2 song!" So, there!
No no no you got me all wrong. I was thinking about all the good times they were having while god was slaughtering everyone else. It is not genocide if god does it, we should call it funocide!
It is sad that so many had to die because they would not listen to the warnings. They scoffed and made rude remarks to Noah and his family when they tried to warn them. Would you be laughing and having fun if you had warned your friends about a catastrophe and offered them safety and they would not listen; then as you saw the rising waters this would be a celebration to you? Who would think such a thing!

It is estimated that design and consulting fees for this phase of the hospital build make up roughly 15% of the total cost of the project, meaning for a 300,000-square-foot hospital, around $16,875,000 on average.
It was great seeing a "life-size" Ark with the dimensions as stated in the Bible. Pretty awe-inspiring. I don't get why people are against it though. I'm really glad Ken Ham took the risk to build it, and it's definitely a sight to behold. I recommend going there if you have the chance.
The ark or argha is a symbol of the female womb and the entry of Noah (Phallus) begins a journey of 284 days which is significant to all mothers. The red Adam is another phallus symbol. The biblical penis is also called Asher/Aser/Assur. The penis (Asher) and two testicles, Anu/Oni and Hoa/Hea form a trinity of gods. Asher the Penis became one of the tribes of Israel (Saturn), Levi = Anu, the right testicle and northern fish in Pisces, Simeon = Hea, the left testicle and the western fish in Pisces. and there is the story of Jacob wrestling with "god" his penis and as a result he became a Eunuch before he "impregnated" Rachel/Isis with Benjamin. Benjamin is a son of the mother alone, just like the Greek Uranus and Jesus of a thousand names.
Then we shouldn't be teaching evolution.

“They did not like to retain God in their knowledge”
This is why they hate the Ark encounter and why they wanted to kill Jesus.
The light reveals their darkness so they want to kill the light instead of accept Gods atonement🎚
Adams descendants are still running from God.
@@stephenireland3816 haha .....you are paranoid ,as well as gullible . There are holes through which you could drive a 747, about the flood story.
Technically, a wooden vessel , that size , would destroy itself as soon as it kissed the water . Could you tell me how the koala's got to the Middle East? Everybody would have died of methane poisoning .
Etc .
Because it had dinosaurs in it which was just a whole level of wrong
Noah did not have a beard, it says he was shaving it every day with his Remington electric shaver.
I believe it was a Philishave from the Netherlands/ Holland ! In the Netherlands they know and are experts concerning '' flooding '' !!
How much lumber did they used for this?
Very nice job,but they forgot to add the FLOOD LIGHTS!! 🤣🤣🤣
Ah yes, the biblical flood lights are in the same verse as the biblical arc welder and biblical boom crane...
beautiful! Can't wait to go with my kids!!
Built a 5th century ship to prove it was real and built with 21st century technology
So now will you explain to us that the pyramids and the hanging garden of Babylon are fake too? Or do you even have a basic understanding of historical architecture?
@@TameImpala521 I mean... although we are not fully aware of exactly how the pyramids were built, we do know there were a LOT of people involved in building them. The bible claims that only eight people built the arc. Given the size of the arc, that sounds pretty unrealistic.
5th century? LMAO more like 15th century or earlier!
@@theq4602 bro its was way b4 5 thousand years ago, people them times used to live for hundereds of years
Yes
Its not a ship its a building. Ships float Ken Sham's amusement park would sink like a stone in a small pond.
The funny thing is that when he approached an Engineering firm to build it; they told him flat out that such a vessel was impossible given the parameters and the building materiels. It would not only destroy itself under it's own weight, but thermal warping would rip it apart long before it could be completed.
So, he did what all creatards do; he lied. The piles are steel reinforced concrete, and the superstructure is steel, hidden by wood veneer.
And yet the gullible morons believe it. Luckily, very few of them go there to waste their money. Even religitards can be smart at times...
There is a video of a pretty good ark boat that actually motors around .. It is only about 300 ' though. Seen it ? it is on u/tub.. Another interesting thing is . There is a better replica Ark them park right at the entrance to Hon Kong China. Been there a long time. I thought they would blow up something like that... They forgot to put any dinosaurs on it .
"There is a video of a pretty good ark boat that actually motors around .. It is only about 300 ' though."
Yes, it was built on top of a steel barge. So, in effect, it is a movie prop. Also known as "a sham".
Ima Pseudonym also didn’t he just say it was smaller? No ones claiming you can’t build a big wooden ship just that there are limits and that Kens amusement park isn’t capable of floating.
Plus it has a Diesel engine...Noah used whales harnessed with several ropes and when he wanted them to turn he just threw another sinner to the right or the left of them. Ya know they got really hunger pulling that bigol boat.
One question. Will it float?
It doesn't need to float. Another lost soul. Very sad!

Agreed.
At least Shin-Leqi-Unninni made no pretense about the story being factual, when he wrote it.
"That’s because the Epic of Gilgamesh is actually based on the story of the ark."
Was your home village settled by congenital morons?
The Epic of Gilgamesh predates the stories of the bible by almost 2000 years.
The first mentions we have of it, are dated to 2700 BCE. The earliest mention of the myths in Genesis, are from 1000 BCE.

Well, you may not understand what point I was making (apparently it was far to complicated for you to understand) but if the point you were trying to make is that you are thoroughly ill-educated and as gullible a mouth-breather that ever filled a con-artists collection plate, then you have made that point LOUD and clear!

They should do a testrun, you know. Like with 10.000 animals (mammals preferably) for a 3 month, managed by 8 people. Should be fun!
One elephant alone would starve to death or die of dehydration in a month or less. Elephants require about 10 percent of their body weight per day (200 to 600 lbs) and 50 gallons of water per day. That fact alone disproves this myth, lol.

This seems more like a hit piece than anything else.
The "Ark" wasn't a ship, it was a box. The Greek word for box is tebla. Like in Ark of the Covenant, which has NEVER been shown as a ship. And the "Ark" being built in Kentucky has MULTIPLE windows. The Ark of the Bible had ONE window and ONE door. I can't fathom the stench of that box when filled with thousands of creatures, all defecating and urinating daily. How did 8 people manage to feed each critter daily and remove the waste? Just a story created by men.

Should have built it closer to the Ohio river so when it floods it can go out with the rest of the garbage!
its flooding already just by the rain, it leaks hahaha
It bugs me when everyone says that there were only 2 of each animal. When I read the Bible I don't see that. The way I read it there are at least two pairs of unclean animals and 7 pairs of clean ones. Anyone else read this? Maybe they need to revise the actual size of the ark.
The bibble was written to control humans that belive not console them I agree with you there are so many rewrigts of the Bible so many discrentfies its crazy.

Yup pretty much, the Ark story is impossible in every sense, it's a nice story for children.
Sorensenator86 Honestly whoever wrote the bible didn't intend for people to take it literally. There are a lot of good stories with good lessons, but people shouldn't believe that the stories actually happened.
Mark Reilly I can reconcile with that.
Who all built it
"If you build it, you can pocket millions in donations and tax write offs despite the park itself being logistic nightmare and a financial failure."- the voice in Ken Ham's head.
I thought it was largely (tho I think not mainly) independently funded 🤔 that it being a tax-payed thing was some kind of mis-info. (tho they kept saying it here)
@@truthsings7 look into it, there's a shitload of public funds went into that goddamn Park.
@@henchmen999 Well I did, & hear what you're saying but I've come across different versions of the narrative (that contradict). I mean it could be both, etc. and the various reported 'numbers and sources of funding' I've come across so far I'm guessing/concluding are probably influenced by bias (from either or both sides)
@@truthsings7 It's this simple: When you build a theme park, there are things that taxes pay for. Since they don't pay taxes, OUR taxes (That's money me and you pay, not the church) pay for those things. Tax payers subsidies churches and organized religion across this country whether you believe in it or not. Religion is a tax scam.
We visited it last summer and found that it will be a Theme Park as well. How cool is that! Maybe some of the Atheists here will take a second look at the power of God.
Thank you posting! Very beautiful boat!
its not a boar, its a building and it never was nor could be a boat. SOOOOO many reasons why not, main one being... common sense...oh wait your a christian so you have none
Good thing Noah had power saws an drywall insulation LOL
and especially Tyvek rolls, lots of them !
Not gonna lie, this looks amazing.
Put this in the ocean .... see or wait a few seconds .... tipping over !
@@RayB1656The original or this one? What experience do you have that says it will tip over? What maritime engineering experience do you have?
This one might sink because it has steel reinforcement,that is perhaps too dense for the rest of the boat to keep afloat.
@@setaside77
I do not believe you need to have a '' maritime engineering '' diploma to understand, that
this type of design of a boat wouldn't be seaworthy .
First , the rudder is way to small compared to the size of the ship.
You would need an '' extremely'' heavy load at the bottom center of the boat.
Steel reinforcement wouldn't play a role,
totally ships made of steel can easily float ...
What I was trying to say , in a few words,
this was made as a ''museum'' / as a modern '' illustration ''
certainly not a as ''floatation'' device,
especially if you have seen it built with cranes , modern tools and stainless steel parts.
I believe this is a question of faith, possibly not as an ''engineering'' idea.
What's next? 200 million to build santas workshop?

Everyone that says the Ark story never happened, how do you explain the out line on mount arat that has exact measurements God told Noah to build the ark and thats its on the exact same mountain the Bible said it landed?
It's nothing more than a natural geologic formation made out of mud. That's why there are a half dozen formations just like it on that hillside, with the main "Ark" sitting inside of one twice the size of it.
Every "finding" made by Ron Wyatt at that site was debunked by creationists that would only stand to profit off of it being real.
wait one question how is it even posibble to have 2 of every animal alive on a shop so small ??
ham claims there was less animals back then hahahahaha and lets not forget dinosaurs was included hahahahaha
I dislike how people always say "Every culture has a flood story". No, every culture does not. Every culture who originated from the Mesopotamia region has a flood story, because there was a flood in that specific area of the world once upon a time. At no time has the whole world flooded. There is not enough water on Earth for that to happen.

WILLIAMSTOWN, Ky. -
The owners of Northern Kentucky's Ark Encounter -- a wooden replica of the biblical Noah's Ark -- are suing over rain damage.
Yes, really.
The replica ark itself survived several years of heavy rains, but flooding caused landslides along the park's access roads.
The Ark Encounter's insurance carriers refused to cover nearly $1 million in damages.
Court documents filed in district court show that the owners of the Ark Encounter in Williamstown, Kentucky, have filed a suit against their insurance company after flood and storm damage.
Crosswater Canyon Inc. and the Ark Encounter have filed suit against multiple defendants who comprise the business' insurance underwriters after their property was damaged by heavy rains.
According to the suit, heavy rains caused a landslide and some structural support damage near the ark exhibit. The ark itself was not damaged

How did they regulate temperature for the range of animals, from Arctic to Tropical? Where was all the food stored for the herbivores, and where were the other animals housed to feed the carnivores?
Noah was the greatest wood engineer and sailor in history, how the hell did he built an ark of that size by himself
Oh come on, he had a couple of sons & a wife to tell him to move things up & down a bit & elephant trucks & giraffe cranes & beaver sawmills & err.....err... rainbows & unicorns?
He had wife, sons and 3 daughters in law if he had money to pay others to help it did not say.
God taught Noah in his dreams how to built it. It took 120 years from start to finish. If you read the story in the bible you would not asked it. tsk

Well God helped him of course .

"Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly." - 2 Peter 3
