Working Replica of Noah's Ark Opens.

[Johnboy60]

SCHAGEN, Netherlands (April 28) - The massive central door in the side of Noah's Ark was thrown open Saturday - you could say it was the first time in 4,000 years - drawing a crowd of curious pilgrims and 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.

Reckoning by the old biblical measurements, Johan's fully functional 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.

Interesting. I don't believe the story is meant literally like some Creationists teach, but I'd probably go see it if it came to my town.

I think it’s great! Johan obviously shows his devotion to the Almighty and Christ with his hard work trying to draw interest in the Bible. You can look at the stories in the Bible in any which way, but it is agreed the words in there provide the word of God for all times. Noah's Ark marks a major turning point in the relationship between God and mankind.

I will give Johan a prayer.
