https://www.foxnews.com/travel/life-sized-replica-of-noahs-ark-will-sail-to-israel-says-dutch-carpenter-who-built-it Ark builder extraordinaire Johan Huibers plans to sail his copy of Gods ship from Holland to Israel all 2,500-ton of the life-sized replica. One major hurdle to overcome first, though, is that the Dutch carpenters vessel has no motor, so hell need to rent tugboats to sail it. However, tugboats dont come cheap and will cost the businessman, who made a fortune constructing storage spaces, more than $1.3 million to hire for the journey. Several years ago he was quoted saying he hoped to sail the 95-foot-wide vessel, which spans five floors and can hold more than 5,000 passengers, to Brazil. But those plans fell through. Now, he wants to take the ship to Israel, declaring his love for the Jewish state in an interview with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, adding that this is a copy of Gods ship. It only makes sense to take it to Gods land. I love the county, I love the people. They dont obey, they do what they want, they drive like mad, shove while waiting in line and dont listen to anyone. Just like me. |

Interesting fact, of all the flood stories, from Gilgamesh et al, the one in the Bible is the only one that has a plan for a boat that would actually float.

It's not going to sail anywhere. It could get towed or transported, but it has no propulsion. It's a glorified trailer.

A cubit could've been 17.5" to 20.6" depending on what your culture was.
The Ark could feasibly be 250-300k sq feet under roof. |

I wonder what its capacity for food and water is? Level that deck and bring back WW I aeroplanes just like some of those barges that were used to launch aircraft. Needs a cruiser to tow her fast enough.

Ants, for example and fish, frogs. Snakes. Et al. So far all of the speciation observed has been a loss of information, not inclusion of a random beneficial mutation. That concept is hypothesized ex post facto, never observed. |

And when you think about it, it seems rather obvious it can't really work that way. One individual of an entire species accidentally mutating a new helpful trait is pretty unlikely, but then that single individual is able to procreate so much, assuming it's even a heritable trait, that it becomes common and defines a new species? How likely is that? Which is why there's always agency snuck in the back door while pretending it isn't really agency. "Because they needed to see better, they developed better eyes." Well, see, there's no power to cause change possessed by a "need", because several reason's but primarily, "need" is not a thing. It has no being.

Somewhere around Gibraltar it will be boarded by "refugees," who will shit all over everything, rape the animals, and convert it to a Mosque. Then it will catch on fire, capsize, and sink. The owner will be sued for all his money by over 9000 more "refugees" claiming to be next of kin to the dead refugees. The owner will lose his entire fortune between paying the lawyers and the gibs me dat crowd. He will die penniless and alone in a migrant slum where he is spat on daily for being an "infidel." The left will cheer this victory over "white privilege."
THE END. |

It's built on a big pontoon.
Sea voyarge with tugs might do it but could go to shit with the slightest rough sea. On the other hand the Dutch like to ship big things and have some ships to do it. Not religious in any way but more power to the guy and his crazy project.  Failed To Load Title |

Wan't it originally an amusement park attraction? I doubt it was built to maritime specs.
But all the power to him for fulfilling his dream. I doubt its seaworthy in realistic sea states but it would be fascinating to see. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
So Noah's ark was in excess of 500 feet long. HMS Victory, which was about the limit of 18th century naval architecture, was 227 feet long. Ships didn't get much larger until wood was replaced with steel because wooden structures have natural limitations before the thing twists itself to pieces through hogging and sagging, etc. So how did a Bronze Age civilization solve naval architecture problems that even 18th century navies could not? How did a ship with no means of propulsion not capsize from wave movement since it could not point its bow into the waves? Quote HistoryQuoted:

Yeah. I have a healthy respect for Christianity, but that story has to be allegory at best. Most likely there was widespread regional flooding in the area at the end of the last Ice Age. Quote HistoryQuoted:
