A half-sized replica of the biblical Noah's Ark has been built by Dutch Creationist Johan Huibers, complete with model animals, as testament to his literal belief in the Bible.
The ark is 150 cubits long, 30 cubits high and 20 cubits wide. That's two-thirds the length of a football field and as high as a three-story house.
"I knew the story of Noah, but I had no idea the boat would have been so big."
There is enough space near the keel for a 50-seat film theater where kids can watch a video that tells the story of Noah and his ark. Huibers said he hopes the project will renew interest in Christianity in the Netherlands, where church-going has fallen dramatically in the past 50 years.
