as in the days of Noah ...


That, friends, is a replica of Noah's ark that is currently anchored in Holland. Johan Huibers built the thing as a testament to his faith and his conviction that we are living in the last days. He hopes it will inspire a renewed interest in Christianity in the Netherlands.

The boat is two-thirds the length of a football field, and as tall as a three-story house. There are life-size models of animals inside, as well as a 50-seat theater where kids can watch the story of Noah and we're anticipating a petting zoo on the open upper-deck.

Johan did most of the work himself, though using modern tools. It's big and impressive, but Noah's ark was five times the size of Johan's.

There's a CNN article here, and a short video tour. Spiffy.
