The account of a worldwide flood is something that is found across cultures as an event that took place.

The historical account found in Genesis 6-10 is incredible.  The logistics of looking after those animals on the ark quite hard to get your head around… but it was a supernatural feat, with some great practical advice given to construct such a ship.  Thanks to Ark Encounter, empowered by Answers in Genesis, we will soon be able to get our head around it in a practical way as they construct a life-sized model of it.

An excerpt from their website states…

What is the Ark Encounter?  The Ark Encounter is a one-of-a-kind historically themed attraction. In an entertaining, educational, and immersive way, it presents a number of historical events centered on a full-size, all-wood Ark, which should become the largest timber-frame structure in the USA.  Additional future phases for the attraction include a Walled City, the Tower of Babel, a first-century Middle Eastern village, a journey in history from Abraham to the parting of the Red Sea, a walk-through aviary, an expanded large petting zoo, and so on.  It is designed to be family oriented, historically authentic, and environmentally friendly.

It opens in the Summer of 2016 in Cincinnati, Ohio and although if you live down-under that may be too far for a class trip – it is a great place to show the class online to expand their understanding of this historic event.  God’s creativity and ingenuity is awesome and the faith of Noah inspirational!
