1. SOUNDBITE (English) Ken Ham, Answers in Genesis, CEO:
“It is a massive structure. 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. It’s 51 feet high, but built 15 feet off the ground.”

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Ken Ham, Answers in Genesis, CEO:
“The emphasis that we’ve always brought to the church is Genesis one to 11, that history is foundational to the rest of the Bible, to all doctrine, to our worldview, to everything. So if Genesis one 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.”

12. SOUNDBITE (English) Todd Bigelow, ark visitor:
“As soon as I got in the ark on the first deck, first thing I did is I put my hand on one of the big, giant beams, the columns, and just wanted to feel it and be like, ok. And then just being inside of it, almost feeling that enclosure, that safety, that God can give us, that felt very real to me.”

14. SOUNDBITE (English) Ken Ham, Answers in Genesis, CEO: “When you build attractions like this, it’s first of all, it’s to help Christians, it’s to help families to have a place where they can come that’s family friendly, that helps make the Bible come alive for them and their children. And if you ask me what the main message of both attractions is, it’s basically this, the history in the Bible is true, that’s why the message of the gospel based in that history is true.”

22. 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, but 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.”
