Transcript

Skeptics often claim that a wooden boat the size of Noah’s ark couldn’t have floated. But this claim ignores the fact that large wooden ships have been successfully used for centuries.

It also ignores a study done by a world-class ship research center in South Korea. This team discovered that the dimensions given in Scripture for Noah’s ark were the best possible for maximum stability, comfort, and strength. Noah’s ark actually had the same ratio of dimensions as modern cargo ships!

Noah’s Ark was a real ship that was built to keep mankind and animals alive during a real flood. Despite skeptical claims, we can trust God’s Word!
