Charice, for one thing I would love to go play with an ape, with a better grasp on the real jungle. But since I am not any where near a jungle I have to play here with the less brainiac Christian kind. I am not wasting my time--I enjoy writing my comments. If you do not want to read them then I recommend you find the nearest church for I will not be there. ....If you knew any thing about building design you would see what a fire trap this cedar ARC is. I can imagine that is why he has to keep moving it around. ...the sea wall space for such an eye sore much cost him a small fortune.
Charice Suttington 13-Oct-2008 11:31
richard, you are sooo irritating! if you dont believe, fine! go play with ur money and ape cousins! if the story is soooo fake, why are you wasting so much time trying to convince everyone its fake? y not go watch ur uncles on the georgraphic channel, but leave us christians and believers here to marvel over this wonderful work! Maybe ur jealous because you dont serve the one dn true living God. There is still hope for you El Dummo, dont go to hell for not believing, please get a life
richard Haden 13-Oct-2008 05:42
Star8arrow, are you insane or just a goofy christian cartoon.
And the secularist that you speak of are who? People who have a grasp on reality? The sectarian kind must be the idiots who think the the world is 6000 thousand years old?...the secularist are not the same people who think we are descendants of Adam and Eve's inbreeding---only to be re Inbred by Noah's small group of 8. (at least in that other moronic book of Abram--the Qu'ran--there were at least 80 odd people to repopulate the earth.

Pangaea or Pangea means earth in ancient Greek. It is the theory that about 250 million years the continents were one land mass. And that since global plate tectonics is still at work the continent may bunch up again some 250 million years again. Continental drifting is not a theory but theory tries to put a date on things...for instance Vancouver Island moves about 4 inches closer to Washington state and British Columbia every year.

I don't know where you get your information from but it should be understood that by teaching false facts you are acting in a very immoral way. Not to mention the fact that you may need some help...

It looks like the idiot who made this ark is at it again. He is raising money to build a full size one this time. What a scam. He is making money of your idiotic old testament beliefs...he must need the work, huh.

This is absolutely amazing. I would love to travel to see this in person. I wish more people could do more replica's of places and things in the bible. GREAT JOB!
Chiles 07-Oct-2008 17:33
WOW this is ever so awesome
str8arrow 04-Oct-2008 01:02
For all that may not know, at the time of the flood,(proven by science that it occured) All land was one mass. It wasn't until The Babel Tower (Gen 11) that God seperated (scattered) the Continents along with People and Animals. If you look at a globe you can plainly see that the Continents would fit together if they were reunited. Not only does the Bible say a lot about the past, It will tell about events to come. We need to read it more and watch the signs of the times. His return is at hand.
Lannon Smith 01-Oct-2008 18:18
This is the most awsome thing i have seen done for Christ. I wash we had one here in the United States to make people come back to Christ. It is something i would help biuld i f some one was to build one. It goes to show how much God loved Noa and the Creturees of our planet .
God bless every one
smiley 30-Sep-2008 22:05
This is awesome. We shouldn't judge non believers however the account of Noah and the Ark was written for our sake. Those that were destroyed unfortunately had the same mental attitude of the non-believer. It wasn't Noah that brought/gravitated the animals to the Ark; indeed it was the work of God! On their own accord they wouldn't have been tamed or gravitated which shows why that took place. Good observation. Dearest Non-Believer, would you have believed what Noah and his family preach (an imminent destruction by flood) if YOU saw bears, alligators, lions, sheep, cats, elephants, etc coming down your street in a calm, non aggressive fashion. Would you have at least inquired? Please do research and see how and why the artifacts of land animals were found at the tippy top of mountains and how old their remains were. It's interesting. The account has modern day meaning 2Peter 2:5 and 3:1-10 I respect your thoughts unbeliever here's just some food for thought....Have a wonderful and peaceful day.

crystal 29-Sep-2008 02:53
What a beautiful ark you have build I could only imagine from scripture. Thanks for a peek in history. I know it seems impossible for critters and people to survive together for so long. People are saying God provided for 40 days but really it was much much more. Because they had to wait for the water to subside after the 40 days of rain stopped. But just like the rain and floods in our own lives, God does provide peace to those who seek him. Thanks for the chance to talk about God again.
Guest 29-Sep-2008 01:11
I Baaahhhh-leive you posted your comments 3 times to many....
Belva 28-Sep-2008 01:57
To the doubter that wondered how the animals all got along for 40 days -- God has the powere to do anything and we should all never forget this. You did an awsome job with this build !!
Guest 26-Sep-2008 12:21
Pretty interesting that all those animals which could eat you, all sat so quietly in a confined space for 40 days. All species of Bears that weren't in that part of the world suddenly showed up, Lions that never lived in the desert, Tigers that never lived in the desert, Jackyls, Wolves from overseas, Cheetahs and rhinos from the jungle, etc. So tame and docile, they all showed up from all over the world(magically flown) where they had never been, and NO-ONE was bit or killed. Nice story, for lunatic sheep that believe anything.

Wow! I wish I could come see this in person! I think this is fantastic!
Ginny 19-Sep-2008 20:26
I think they had to care for the seven pairs of clean animals (which didn't hibernate). Which would have been plenty of work for eight people.
OPENMINDED IN GTOWN 17-Sep-2008 17:59
WHILE I AM A CHRISTIAN AND DO BELIEVE, I AM ASHAMED OF ALL OF YOU WHO WANT TO JUDGE THOSE THAT DON'T. AS YOU MAY RECALL IN ALL OF YOUR BIBLE READING, WE ARE TOLD NOT TO JUDGE. GOD GAVE US FREE WILL. YOU NEED TO REMEMBER THAT IF SOMEONES OPINION OR BELIEFS ARE DIFFERENT THAN YOURS, IT DOES NOT, I REPEAT DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO JUDGE THEM. AND TO MAKE FUN OR BELITTLE MAKES ME THINK THAT MAYBE YOU ARE BEHIND ON YOUR BIBLE READING. IF YOU ARE GOING TO CLAIM TO BE A "GOOD CHRISTIAN" ACT LIKE ONE!
Philip South Africa 10-Sep-2008 10:17
To khat - wondering about how was it possible to have all the animals on board of the ark. Don't think big animals ,but baby ones ,who will life longer ones of the boat ,and will have more offspring. This is possible and remember as you stated GOD said ,and it was done. God said "let there be light" and there were light.
Do not allow our minds to make GOD smaller ,because HE is the creator ,and coming again as HE learn us ,by example ,as in the case off NOAH's ark .

lordsydney 10-Sep-2008 08:55
Do you know they are making a "full sized" Ark!!! It will be resitant to capsizing so it may float!!!
khat 10-Sep-2008 03:41
In regards to "Dingosimon [12-Aug-2008] Has anyone thought of how this would have sailed? No sails, no motor, is it really feasible? I mean this ark would have been drifting aimlessly around for ages with no direction. How was food stored for all the animals and water, who cleaned up all the manure. I mean to be on this for 40 days etc, it seems a big ask. And do we really believe that all animals on the earth were put on this ark. I mean there are a lot of questions that have never been answered. Any answers for me?" 1. The purpose of sails and motors are to direct the boat to a certain destination. This was a life saver....just keeping them afloat until the flood subsided. Where they landed was up to God. 2. In reading the bible, you will notice how often God has provided for those He called for a purpose. Don't you think Noah's purpose of sustaining life was enough for God to provide? He wanted Noah and the animals to live, so whether you believe in them or not, God did and still does perform miracles. 3. Honestly, looking at the replica i'm a little disappointed....I really thought it was bigger. So as for "all the animals" question, I just have to say, God said it was enough, and I believe it. I'm not God, so who am I to argue?

And to "Wisefool"....very fitting name.
Gil 08-Sep-2008 10:24
Dinosaurs were extinct by the time Noah built the ark.
lordsydney 06-Sep-2008 09:13
Not from doubt or anything but just to note it would have been 2 of every animal they had BACK THEN, what about all the animals that became extinct from then to now?... like dinosaurs or animals we never new existed. if you made the ark according to the Bible than try to imagine deck for birds... top for small animals... middle big animals... and bottom for huge animals like dinosaurs. God may have caused carnivorous animals to not eat meat, who knows? lets not argue about it but be glad God saved man-kind and every thing else.
lordsydney 06-Sep-2008 08:52
I thank all the people who put their time and effort into building the re-make of the ark God bless you all, thankyou
chloe 03-Sep-2008 16:01
I believe whole heartedly that Noah existed and built an ark and even took as many animals as he could - with him and his family as faithful stewards. But it has already been proven that the flood that occurred during that time only covered one third of the continent they lived on. Still........ thats HUGE. That would be like losing the entire United States and Canada. The point is...... that WAS Noah's whole world. He saw the vision correctly (from his perspective). And followed through. It has also been proven that over half of the ground species in that area, before the flood were in fact SAVED by Noah and his family. Awesome. Even when put into perspective it is a true miracle of God.
KEISHA 02-Sep-2008 01:10

Guest 28-Aug-2008 05:38
All should check out Ron Wyatt, a Christian archeologist, on the internet. See photos of remnants of the ark in Turkey ('the mountains of Arrat"). Too cool. God Bless.
Kay 27-Aug-2008 01:05
This is the most glorious and amazing work of art/labor. Next to the real thing that Noah did at God's bidding. Spectacular. God is surely blessing you for your labors and gift to all believers and also sceptics. Bless you and I feel so blessed at having been able to see this great work of art.
Angelbabe7 23-Aug-2008 04:55
You know this is very awesome. It does not matter if it floats or not. Someone just wanted to let people know how the Ark looked like. It says a "REPLICA"! I would like to pray for the people that have negative comments. That just shows that in your mind that you must not believe in our Lord and Savoir. And Dingosimon I will pray for you every hour of every day that you would become to know the Lord, I'm real sorry that you must not believe in the Bible. They didn't have to have a motor or sails. If you would read the Bible there where always miracles going on. All Noah new was to trust in his Father.
Guest 22-Aug-2008 13:04
I am shure that God is looking down on you for spreading the word. God bless you.
Guest 20-Aug-2008 22:49
Will it float?
Teri 16-Aug-2008 08:06
Wow! It never occurred to me that Noah's Ark would be this large. but, of course it would be to hold animals as large as elephants and hiipos. What a wonderful accomplishment! Too bad I'm not in Holland to see for myself.
Davete McKenzie 16-Aug-2008 03:47
WOW! I have read about Noah's ark but never new just how big it really was. I think it is so wonderful of you to do something like that. God is really proud of you and looking down and saying "Well done thy good and faithful servant"
Guest 16-Aug-2008 03:01
By the way, it was much more than 40 days and nights. That is just the time it rained.
Guest 16-Aug-2008 02:58
For Fritz, Genesis says God told Noah to collect food for the animals. So they must not all have hibernated, for the whole time...
Guest 15-Aug-2008 06:41
I enjoyed all the pictures.
I'm sure God is looking down with pleasure at what you did for him..
I only wished I lived closer so I could enjoy it more.
Thanks again and God Bless You.
Fritz Lorenz Doerring 15-Aug-2008 00:57
I believe it was something like this: Some animals today, still hibernate. perhaps
at Noah's time, all of them could do that, and that would certainly simplify the
chores and the food supply. And if they were not all capable of hibernation,
Our God could easily effected that for such an occasion. Some folk like to fit
every happening into what they have knowledge of at present day. Times, they
are a-changing. And, what small things; these old testament miracles, in light of
how God so loved the world(humankind), that He gave His only begotten Son,
so that whoso believeth in Him should have everlasting life. God preserves His
creation.

Gabe Larsen 14-Aug-2008 16:38
For Dingosimon: Noah and his family we'ren't going anywhere, they were just trying to stay afloat. That's why there are no sail, motor, etc. No, not all the animals in the world were aboard, just two of each. As far as food and room; if you brought two kittens instead of two fully mature cats the kittens would of course eat less. Same with puppies. If you brought a baby of the species, the baby would eat less and take up less room. As for who cleaned up, Noah, his wife, their three sons (Ham, Shem, and Jappeth) and their wives, a total of eight people were aboard the Ark. Yes, it was a big task, but we have a big God!

Terry Stephens 06-Aug-2008 01:54
This tremendous effort was comparatively easy to complete when we understand that Noah had no power tools, heavy equipment or lumberyards with ready-made stock to aid him and his family to construct this massive ship. It makes one think that why wasn’t this done in the 19th century when Christianity was being attacked by the forces of humanism so ruthlessly in the name of “Scientific Proof.”
Andrea 05-Aug-2008 21:44
Very enlighting ,as a matter of fact a friend of my family and i were discussing the ark today. God gives you just what you need to confirm his word.
Donna 04-Aug-2008 22:28

Truly a work of art. The image of the Ark is amazing, and achievement by man that can only have been influenced and inspired by God Himself. I have never seen anything like this in my lifetime, and probably will never have the opportunity to view something like this again. I have read what many of the readers have written about a book. A book would be a treasure for anyone to have. I for sure would enjoy having one with interior photos, and of the construction procedures that also were encountered by the builder and his son. Thank You for sharing this magnificant replica of Noah's Ark.

Again, please consider a book...and make sure it sells in America for us, too!
Kathleen 20-Jul-2008 16:03
Thank you for building this ark. I hope this will bring more people to believe our wonderful God.,
God bless you for building this for the world to see, We sometimes forget that we are all descendants from Noah's family.Thank you again for showing the world that GOD IS WONDERFUL.
Sherrill 19-Jul-2008 14:06

Yes, this is AMAZING. I hope there is going to be a book to buy with lots of pictures. We are in America and I would love to share this Ark with our children and the Christian Ed classes. I would buy the book. Travel, for us, is not possible at this time. Seeing the pictures on the 'web' are all inspiring.......and truly amazing. WOW.

Truly 'amazing'. I wish you God's Peace.
Thank you.

I collect Noah's Arks but this one beats them all! I love the story of Noah's Ark because it reminds me that God is in control, he cares about the details (can you imagine designing this and getting the animals to come together so that he could save them) and he keeps his promises. This is an amazing testamony of how awesome God Is. Thank You! God Bless
Gretchen 14-Jul-2008 19:09
Thank you for bringing some important Bible history to the forefront! Amazing work! Noah would have been proud of you.
Kevin L 14-Jul-2008 01:00
I am a Christian too and think the ark is awsom! I wish I could have been there while you made the ark. There is a lot of cool stuff in the ark. I love the design and the fact that it kept Noah's family safe. What a blessing GOD gave to Noah and you as well. Your friend Kevin.
Tommy L 14-Jul-2008 00:54
I can't believe you did that with only a little help from your son. I am a big fan of Noah's ark also and thought it was impossable to make an ark. I thought only Noah could make an ark. I like it very much. You did a good job. I am 8 years old.
Debbie Cloer Pitman 11-Jul-2008 02:45
I am so very Glad that you and your Son have created such an awesome Project. I Believe in the Bible and Noah's Ark, But most of all I Believe in GOD The Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
I know that we are living in the last day's and you have done something that will change so many Live's before it's too late, so I Thank you myself and I am SURE that GOD Thank's you as well.
May GOD Bless you and your Family!
See ya! Soon.

God Bless,Thank you for your obedience.God is so good all the time.There is no way you could have completed this project without His help.To God be the Glory Forever and Ever Amen.
Karen 09-Jul-2008 14:32
As someone mentioned, reading about it and then seeing it are two different things. You just don't realize how big. Thanks for recreating
Rhonda Connel 09-Jul-2008 13:33
I think that this is such an awesome thing you have done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..Its truly a Real Blessing and I am sure that you have made God very proud.
Gerri McHale 09-Jul-2008 01:37
Thank you so much for sharing your skills and talents as a wonderful witness to the truth of the Bible - all of it. I do have to say that Noah gave me a laugh when I saw him in his bed. I thought I was looking at Nowell Levitt (sp?), but you know who I mean.
Next will be the Ark of the Covenant....the real thing!
Sherry 09-Jul-2008 01:28
This is truly a blessing for all to see
Joyce Connable 08-Jul-2008 23:16
In all my 82 years of reading of this wonder, I've never thought about how large it must have been. Thank you for building this and making it available for us to see.
Teri 08-Jul-2008 21:21
What a blessing you have done. Wish I could be there in person.
We need faith told world around.
Maybe we need one here in the USA also to remind us of Gods Love
AmandaCalifornia 08-Jul-2008 19:10
Wow, absolutely beautiful!
David 08-Jul-2008 16:45
Everybody here is thanking PaultheDane for this Ark. He didn't build it, he simply took photos of it and posted them in his gallery. It was built by Johan Huibers of Schagen, Netherlands, you should be thanking him. I'm not a religious peroson by any means, however, I still recall the story of Noah's ark from when I was a child, and I think this is pretty cool to see.
Chawna 08-Jul-2008 15:08
Thank you for your beautiful work and my God Bless you and everyone that views this wonderous creation.
Shannon 08-Jul-2008 12:57
God Bless You for your labors as you show the world your faith. Wish it was closer to the US!
Wisefool 08-Jul-2008 04:09
OK, I really mean no insult...truly I don't. But it's funny that those of Christian faith (and by the language, we can gage I'm talking about the more fundamentalist types) are the only ones who look at this and see proof of anything more than the fact that wood can be fashioned into large boats.

Nice boat.
Joyce 07-Jul-2008 22:35
We are so proud of the Dutch as our daughter in law is from Holland and we had an enchange student son from Leiden, whom we see ever few years. We are hoping to get there next year and see this. God has truly blessed your obedience in the building of the ark. May it touch the lives of all who see it and hear about it so that they may grow in their love of our Lord, and serve him as well as you have done. Peace & blessings, Joyce in Florida
Karen 07-Jul-2008 19:36
Whether you believe in Noah or not; it is great to see the woodworking skills used to make this ark. What fun!
Guest 07-Jul-2008 18:59
I'm sure this took a lot of work, but really, who cares? It is another tacky tourism ploy. An attempt to bolster the minions of club Christianity? God luck with that.
Mrs. William Nuzzo 06-Jul-2008 20:45
Seeing is believing and believing is seeing. Thank you for this beautiful labor of love to show all the world what Noah's Ark really looked like and how it was able to hold so many animals and birds. Please come to America and build a Biblical Theme Park so many more unbelievers can see the wonderous architect and the beauty of God's handiwork through you.
I'm positive Jan and Paul Crouch, founders of the global Christian television station TBN, would be extremely interested to have you as their special guest so other smay learn of your plans, as they have just purchased a theme park entitled "The Holy Land Experience" in Florida. Please contact them at TBN, Santa Ana, CA or look up their website on the Internet. This work needs to be seen by everyone. May God richly bless you in all you set your hand to do.

your sister in Christ Jesus,
Mary Breeden 05-Jul-2008 21:29
We have Walt Disney Lands here in the U.S.A. Would you come to the U.S.A. and build a Holy Land park for the world to see? Can you imagine the possibilities? God bless you in all that you do, and have done.
Pastor Felix, Cerritos, CA, USA 05-Jul-2008 18:39
My brother, your diligence, devotion and industry for the Lord will not go unnoticed in the heavenlies. "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord" (1 Corinthians 15:58, NKJV). May you and yours be blessed to overflowing.

Seeing a rainbow makes me feel God's presence and comfort for his promise. This ark is awesome and it brings Noah's story to life. I'm sure God is smiling on all the hard work and love that was put into the making of it. Good job!
Kendra Williams 03-Jul-2008 13:08
I think this is a blessing from God. It truly touches my heart in a way that no human can every do. I feel the presence of God all in this project.
Pat 03-Jul-2008 01:20

Rachel Adams 02-Jul-2008 04:00
AWESOME! Seeing this has really blessed my heart. I wished everyone in the world could see how much God loves us. I pray this will help the non believers to start believing in the miracles of God and his son Jesus that died for our sins. May God always be with you and your family. Rachel Adams
Kyla Bingle 02-Jul-2008 03:47
You have done a truly amazing thing. I hope you know how much this with affect other people. We need more Christians like you to live out what God calls them to do. I can't wait to share this with my kids, we need something like this in Canada.
Tai 01-Jul-2008 20:14
What a blessing - Talk about bringing God into the reality of life - this is awesome stuff - Thanks for letting us actually SEE what we BELIEVE .......
Donny 01-Jul-2008 16:54
May non believers stop and think about past history. When God says, do it, He means it. His Son, Jesus, will be with you when you attempt to achieve any task if you will only ask in His name. Wonderful work, may God bless you. In our country, USA, many people are trying to take God out of everything we do, yet they are the first to cry, God Bless America.
John 01-Jul-2008 07:24
What a wonderful project... Oh how God must be smiling right now... :o)

May God richly bless you for all your hard work. Wish someone would build one of these in the United States. Its things like this that really bring the Bible to life. I dont see how anyone could see this and not believe in our King.
Joyce Clark 29-Jun-2008 17:53
Absoutely amazing. Maybe this will give the non-believers a wake-up call. You have done a wonderful job. I wish you could get this in the United Sates and maybe thru this we could turn our country back over to GOD. GOD bless you and your family. Joyce Clark, Connersville, IN
Ruth Loutchan 29-Jun-2008 02:43
May God bless you for this reinactment that you have created. It would be such a blessing if all people would take this seriously and start worshipping the Lord on a regular basis, not just when there has been a tradgedy in their lives. Wish we could have someone as wise here in Canada to build an ark here.
This is such an inspiration and I know the people that I am forwarding this to will appresiate all the hard work that has been put into this and may the people that view this in the Netherlands respect all the hard work that has gone into this piece of art and respect it as if this were the original.
Thank-you for sharing this and may this bring some Christianity back in the world.
LaDonna Ulshafer 28-Jun-2008 12:19
This is truly a blessing from God.....God Bless you in all your efforts and give you the peace that you have a job "well done".

The Ark is very beautiful and alsome. This is a great way for people to learn about the Bible. The Bible has wonderful stories.
Bob & Robbie, Nash, TN. 27-Jun-2008 01:23
We think the exibit is tremendous!! It's sure good to know that there are still faithful Christians like ourselves out there spreading the Word of God.
Pilly 26-Jun-2008 18:49
Is truly amazing. I congratulate you for such a strong faith and for not giving up even though, I'm sure, some people opposed to this. Yes, you are right, lot of people are loosing faith, our children, our teenagers. We must be strong and this is a wondeful example. Let's continue to pray !! thanks.
Donna Costilow 26-Jun-2008 15:15
This is awesome!! Can you imagine what the town people thought in Noahs day? They had no idea what rain was. BRAVO, What a way to bring the Bible to life. God Bless you!!!

Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with us. God does work in mysterious ways and I am so grateful to be able to share this with my grandchildren. Hope someday you can bring this to the USA so we can visit it in person. New Bedord, MA
Darlene Connelly 25-Jun-2008 12:14
Wow - what a great way to show the unbelieving and believing world - that the ark was large enough for the species. You have done an awesome job and I pray this will give all people a change of heart and consider our Lord Jesus and God's promises are true today as they were in Noah's day.
Patricia W. Johnson 20-Jun-2008 22:49
As a tool to teach children and others about the task God assigned to Noah, I think this is great. I think this builder had a heart for the things of God and wanted others to just have a glimpse of the magnitude of Noah's responsibility to carry out the plan of God to save mankind. BUT, ONLY HIS FAMILY WERE SAVED!!!

If we as Christians would even concentrate on seeing our family saved (by the mercy and grace of believing in Jesus Christ as Savior) we would all do well.
Kym Federer 20-Jun-2008 17:31
It would be lovely if you could do a video tour of the Ark as it would really give people the full view which still wouldn't be as incredible in person. We have watched a movie here called "Evin Almighty" which is actually a modern day movie where God asks an attorny to build an ARK and the reprocussions of his piers once he accepts what he must do. What a lovely idea and I am so glad you followed your dream. God Bless! Thanks for sharing, it is beautiful from what I can see in the pictures. I sure hope someday I can come visit it or it can be taken around the world. I am in the US (Florida) and would love to see it.

Carolyn 18-Jun-2008 16:28
Isn't it wonderful how our father suprises us with such as this ark just to remind us, or let us know for the first time, that He is real, His love is real, and His word is true. He is an awsome Father. Praise His Holy Name!!
Sally 18-Jun-2008 15:30
What a wonderful way to show gods message. To a lot of folk seeing is believing.Children will truly be helped by this great gesture towards gods creations. Bless you and all that surround you.
Erica 18-Jun-2008 12:47
This is truly awesome. Please bring it to USA, we also need a boost of Christianity. We are saved through faith, something unseen... but this even though it is a replica, makes it , for the lack of a better term..more real. God Bless you and your family. It truly is a testiment of faith. Erica Hodge, Tn USA
jordan parker 17-Jun-2008 21:37
wow this is huge never thought in my entire life that noah's ark would be this huge! this makes me feel so good that god would have someone build a ark this huge to save all of us just because of love.. we are his children.. and i'm pround to be one of his children. :-)
Juanita Austin, USA 17-Jun-2008 16:15
Johan this is truly a gift from God! I stand in prayer with you that this replica will indeed reignite the passion in your country to know God and His dear Son Jesus Christ through this wonderful piece of art. Thanks for sharing. :)

Lisa Godwin 01-Apr-2008 00:06
God is great! This ark is amazing and to think it was built by one man with some help from his son. I'm astonished that the one from the Bible is five times this big. We surely hope you do bring it to America. I'd love to see it! Good luck and blessings, Lisa G from Georgia, USA.
Susan 30-Mar-2008 18:40

What a blessing to see it. I had seen a small scale model years ago at my church and was amazed by that, but you have really done a wonderful thing. Mary Grabow, Oklahoma, USA.
