Noah's Ark replica made of 3.1 million board feet of timber

Creationist theme park tries, fails to make theology scientific

Many Christians don't see conflict between faith, evolution

Answers in Genesis also insists that the story of Noah’s Ark is true precisely as Genesis described it. That seems to require the assumption that Noah and his family lived among dinosaurs, like the Flintstones, and took some of them on the ark.

Noah's Ark is a cute story, but it has no basis in reality.  It is meant to illustrate a point, not to be historical.

That was nice. I enjoyed that video and will visit when I am in the area.

I wouldn't get too deep into whether or not it 'really' happened. If you believe in God and believe that God can do anything, then all the questions and debate are moot. If you do not believe in God and believe that the story could never have happened, then all the questions and debate are moot.

It simply is what it is. And it is fun to believe in. Why not?

Who knows? I guess it is possible given all the insanely improbable science we are discovering almost daily.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.
