More Than a Huge Boat

Debbie, Caleb (our younger son), and I rented a motorhome last week to travel to The Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum in northern Kentucky. The motorhome experience was an adventure. But that is for another time. The experiences at the Ark and subsequently, the Creation Museum, were more than I expected. It was incredible! First, everything there is first class. There is nothing “cheesy” about anything we saw. It was more than just seeing a huge boat.

So many people trip over the idea that eight people fed thousands of species of animals. To many, it is inconceivable. One thing this exhibit does is help you understand how it is very conceivable and doable. But even beyond explaining how Noah and his family could pull such a monumental task off, there is so much more there.

One of the things I thought was terrific was the side walk-through rooms that gave so much data proving the fallacy of such things as carbon dating, a million years earth, and evolution. In fact, I thought these things were explained in such simple terms that middle schoolers, high schoolers, and certainly, college-age young adults could grasp much of what they explain. I would highly recommend that all parents get their children to the Ark and Creation Museum.

For adults who are believers, it is a great faith builder. It is another reminder that our faith is based upon verifiable objective truths and facts. Here is how I process it. Jesus rose from the dead and proved that He was God. And this resurrected Christ declared that every word in the Bible was true including a six-day creation and a judgmental flood. Then the question might be, how did God pull these off? These two exhibits give answers to that question and others with great clarity. I highly recommend them to you.
