After a nightmare of God drowning your country, would you even risk not building a new Noah’s Ark based on the biblical dimensions? Via CNN:

A Dutchman has built a replica of Noah’s Ark to biblical proportions, following a dream his homeland would be flooded. Johan Huibers, a wealthy businessman, used the ancient measurement of the cubit — the length of a man’s arm from elbow to fingertips — to build the vessel to the dimensions specified in the book of Genesis.

The finished craft has just been opened to the public on the Merwede River in the Dutch town of Dordrecht. Huibers has filled his ark, which will operate as a “Bible museum,” with life-sized plastic animals and an aviary of live birds to give visitors more to interact with.

The title is misleading. Bu saying 'scale replica' it makes it sound like it's not full size, but rather partial scale.

Saying 'full size' would make more sense.

And for god's sake video maker TURN DOWN THE BACKGROUND MUSIC!

I'm glad some religious nutters actually built a full scale ark, because it can show precisely why this would NEVER work. Just TRY to put two of every animal on earth into that thing and have them live... go on, try.

It's really not very big now is it? And they really think that all of the types of animals on earth are going to live in there for over a month.

Good luck with that.

It STUNS me that even when faced with this sort of reality, seeing the thing from their story built and thinking about it with any sort of critical thinking, that they could then go 'Yeah, that'd work'.

Stunning.

You're correct. I meant to write "Full Scale Replica," but there weren't enough character-spaces in the title available. I've fixed the title (sans space) to reflect the change.>> ^spoco2:

"So, here is the replica of Noah's ark, to the exact dimensions." "Aw shit, we've put glass windows in it!" The ark was built (according to people who take myth as fact) in 4900BCE, yet glass wasn't around until 1400 years later. But Hey, why let facts spoil a good story?
