It is the biggest free standing timber frame structure in the world, and it is Noah’s Ark built according to the dimensions in the Bible. And so that ends up being one and a half times the length of football field, about 510 feet long. It’s half the width of a football field, about 85 feet wide.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Ken Ham, Answers in Genesis, CEO: “The emphasis that we’ve always brought to the church is Genesis 1 to 11, that history is foundational to the rest of the Bible, to all doctrine, to our worldview, to everything. So if Genesis 1 to 11 history is not true, then neither is anything else, because it’s the foundation for marriage, the foundation for gender, the foundation for talking about sanctity of life. It’s the foundation for everything.”

15. SOUNDBITE (English) Bill Nye, Science educator and TV host:
“I understand that people really what you get out of religion, as I understand it is this wonderful sense of community. I understand that community is very much part of the human experience, but the Earth is not 4000 years old to teach that idea to children with any backing, be it religious or these remarkable ideas that humans are not related to, for example, chimpanzees or bonobos or what have you, is breathtaking. It’s silly.”

STORYLINE:
As the colossal replica of the biblical Noah’s Ark rises incongruously from the countryside of northern Kentucky, Ken Ham gives the presentation he’s often repeated.
The ark stretches one and a half football fields long — “the biggest freestanding timber-frame structure in the world,” Ham says. It holds three massive decks with wooden cages, food-storage urns, life-sized animal models and other exhibits.
It’s all designed to argue that the biblical story was literally true — that an ancient Noah really could have built such a sophisticated ship.
That Noah and a handful of family members really could have sustained thousands of animals for months, floating above a global flood that drowned everyone else in the wicked world.
“That’s what we wanted to do through many of the exhibits, to show the feasibility of the ark,” says Ham, the organizer behind the Ark Encounter theme park and related attractions.
