A man in the Netherregions has built a replica of Noah's Ark (or maybe he hasn't).

Lie-beral "news" source:

Noah's Ark Replica Could Make A Splash At 2012 Olympics

When Noah built his famous ark, he had two of everything -- except arks, of course.

That may be changing thanks to Dutch creationist Johan Huibers who has spent three years and $1.6 million of his own money building a modern-day replica of the Biblical ark.

So far, so good, right? But then we come to this:

There are some concessions to modernity. For instance, the ark uses Swedish pine instead of the "gopher wood" mentioned in the Bible. Huibers says that's okay since, in the Bible, God told Noah to use a "resin wood." The ark is also built around a steel frame.

Another concession to reality, or at least animal rights activists: This Ark will be stuffed mostly with fake mammals. However, Huibers has also built an aviary on the deck house that will hold free-flying live birds.

Excuse me, sunshine, but if you're going to do it, do it right. Use live mammals and no steel frame. You'll also have to make it float, while taking care of all of the animals, for the time specified in Scripture. Doing it almost the Bible way is almost good enough.

It will be a pathetic joke and a complete mockery of God's glorious smiting.

As almost all atheists and fluffy bunny Christians think that two of each animal went in to the ark I am sure he will do the same. Wrong! It's seven of the clean animals.

Genesis 7:2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
3Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

I also hope that he does the same as Noah did by sacrificing one of each of the clean animals so God could smell the lovely aroma of burning flesh. He with have the live birds available, it would make a lovely show. It's a shame he isn't doing it correctly, it would have glorious to see him slashing the throat of a giant panda on the altar just like Noah did.

Genesis 8:18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:
19Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
20And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 21And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.

I'm willing to give this guy a little bit of a break, until I know more. Gopherwood is extremely expensive -- when you can even find it -- and a pine structure the size of a modern destroyer would collapse under its own weight without a steel frame -- never mind being seaworthy.

I agree about the animals, though. It would be far more impressive to have live animals. Can you imagine -- the world's largest and most complete zoo all housed in a single building, tended by eight hardworking zookeepers!

I admire his devotion, but I feel this will be an unintended mockery of God. Did He ask this man to build an ark? Did He warn this man that a flood is imminent?

Of course not. Every time you see a rainbow you know that isn't going to happen:

(Genesis 9:14-15) "And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh."

No, I feel that the man is doing this for earthly recognition and fame.

Colossians 3:23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men."

Yours in Christ,

Amen, Brother!

I see rainbows in the sky all the time, but I have yet to see a world-wide flood that destroys every living thing. Brother, that fact right there is PROOF that God exists and keeps His promises!

SHOUT GLORY!
