I would think if you were building this monstrosity as proof that it was real and did happen that you'd want to build it exactly the way it would have been built and float the bastard.

Well, if it was floating in the Ohio river, it could be sold off and moved a mile up the river to Indiana where it could be used as a casino.

Ken Ham has built this rather expensive museum in the middle of the Kentucky countryside to argue that Noah's Ark was real. Wouldn't it have been better to take that money and instead rent a shipyard, build a REAL Ark per biblical specifications, put it out to sea, and see if it could stay afloat for a year? Bill Nye told Ham that a wooden ship of that size cannot work, given the experience of the Wyoming. That would been more compelling proof than a museum and an awesome rebuttal to Bill Nye.

Ok so Noah built the ark by himself and they say it took 100 years. So if he has 100 people working on his ark (which I am sure he has more) it should only take a year right? Has he provided any reasoning why they are completely ignoring all the things they are trying to prove, such as it being feasibly made with primitive technology, you know putting animals on the loving thing, having it float? Or does it all just get handwaved as god's plan or some poo poo?

I'm going to go on a limb here and say that biblical literalists don't really understand or accept the concepts of empiricism.

I emailed Ark Encounter and they told me that Noah must have used a really special kind of wood that no longer exists (because the Flood wiped out all the trees along with the dinosaurs).

Last I heard Ham was trying to get public money to help pay for this travesty by accentuating the 'museum' aspect of the project.
How he can get federal money and still be able to discriminate in hiring practices is disconcerting to say the least.

I was thinking that entire thing will be INSIDE the ark. The animals need places to graze and swim. While the structure will be for the humans and taking care of the animals. Oh and probably the birds, cause they will just fly away. :coal:

Hell, we've built wooden ships just as big with steel supports and strengthening and they still broke apart or developed leaks and major floatation issues in calm water.

because that would take actual balls and effort. Ham doesnt have either. its either 2 things. 1. he knows that if even one of his "theories" about the bible is fake = the bible is fake. (remeber ham and others are hardcore literalness) or 2. its a giant loving scam.

Actually, before the flood, trees had the strength of titanium. It is because of sin that they are too weak to build a boat that size now.

Then how the gently caress did Noah cut down the trees? Also wasn't the point of the flood to wash away the sin? Shouldn't there be less sin post-flood?

Titanium is quite brittle, so he must have snapped them using some kind of hydraulic press

A guy from Ark Encounter actually told me something along these lines. He also said that the museum isn't there to "prove" the legend of Noah's Ark, just suggest it's not totally far-fetched.

There was, but the sin built up again, as evidenced by rock music and short skirts. Because God promised not to flood the world again, he couldn't do another reboot, so we're kind of just stuck with it.
