Modern-Day Noah Opens Doors Of Ark Creation

A faithful reproduction of Noah's ark, using the dimensions in The Bible, has just opened to the public in The Netherlands.

It was constructed by the Dutch creationist and millionaire building contractor Johan Huibers, after he dreamt that Holland would be flooded once again.

He used the ancient measurement of the cubit - the length of a man's arm from the elbow to the fingertips - to build the craft according to Biblical proportions.

In Genesis the ark is described as being 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high so the mammoth effort took him and his team of five just over four years to finish.

Lots of young people in my church, and they're giving their kids old-school Biblical names like Ezra, Isaiah, Naomi, Ezekiel, etc. I think it's pretty cool.

I'm seeing this in our church as well -- lots of baby Rachels, Hannahs, Calebs, Josiahs -- my 2 grandsons are Noah and Jonah

Just fill it with politicians and set it adrift.

Now, that's a plan.

"....giving their kids old-school Biblical names....."

I think folks have had it up to here with trendy names, especially girl ones like Amber, Tiffany, Brittney and other assorted stripper names, LOL.
