How Big Was That Ark?

Post by Dusty52 »

I have always wondered how big that ark had to be, if Noah took 2 of every kind of every animal, etc
How did he fit them all in?
How did he feed them? etc, etc, etc?

The size is given in the scriptures.
He actually took 7 of every clean animal, 2 of every unclean.
I remember reading up on this a while ago and from what I remember, according to the dimensions given in Genesis, the ark was plenty big enough.

Has anyone ever heard of Johan's Ark?
Wikipedia:
Johan's Ark is a Noah's Ark-themed barge in Dordrecht, Netherlands, which was built by the Dutch building contractor, carpenter and creationist Johan Huibers. It is a full-scale interpretation of the biblical Ark, featuring animal models, including cows, penguins, a crocodile, and a giraffe. It opened to the public in 2012.

It seems that the information in Wikipedia is a bit outdated and the ark is currently journeying in Americas.

Wow. Just, wow. This is beautiful. Both of them are. Now I know how all the important things in life relate to each other in size.
