How would they know, this is a replica of any alleged ancient vessel?

Uh.... If you are going to believe this stuff, at least be accurate. There was only one window somewhere at the top, 18" x 18".

I wonder how much metal was used in this very hypothetical reconstruction? It also has the appearance of being quite unseaworthy.

I always get a kick out of these ark replicas.

Did they load types of every animal on board? Are they going to feed them and remove their waste with just 8 people?

What's with all them windows? Couldn't make an accurate "replica" it would appear.

How many pairs of animals is he taking with him?

Well, the ark itself is completely unseaworthy. That's why he had to put it on a platform made up of 25 LASH barges: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johan's_Ark#Large_version

I think the point is that it is possible to build a wood boat that big. So once again the skeptics and scoffers have been proven wrong.

He only had to take the animal and plants from the Tigris - Euphrates River valley. The "world" that he saved we would refer to as a biodiverse ecosystem today. Not the whole biosphere. God's plan was for the ecosystem to expand and grow and fill the world. That is exactly what happened. After the flood farming - agriculture spread to the world. Civilization began in the middle east and spread to the world from there. Not only were the plants domesticated but the animals were domesticated also.

"The Neolithic Revolution was a fundamental change in the way people lived. The shift from hunting & gathering to agriculture led to permanent settlements, the establishment of social classes, and the eventual rise of civilizations. The Neolithic Revolution is a major turning point in human history." Wiki

Including Penguins to Antarctica and koala to Australia?

Well, sure one can "build" a boat that big. One can build much bigger structures too.

But his "boat" isn't seaworthy and has to be carried on top of 25 actual barges (you know, boats that weren't made by him, which are made of metal, and which actually float) in order to go out on the water.

So are you a "local flood" proponent?

The domestication of plants and animals began at least 5000 years before the imaginary flood.

How did they get a T Rex on the boat?

Noah's flood was around 4,344 years ago. T Rex went extinct around 65 million years ago.

Not according to the 6000 year believers.

Critics of Christ are no surprise so critics of this aren't either. Maybe putting this in the Christians only News and Current Events forum would have garnered less mockery.

What a project. God bless the committed that saw this project through to the end.

Can you just imagine that thing at sea on its own? The pitching, yawing and rolling would sicken a wolverine.

I believe it got it's seaworthy license, though it was built on top of multiple barges.
