Noah's Ark from Minicraft Models

Wednesday, April 30, 2008 at 11:01PM

 

ArkBox_1s.jpg Despite being arguably the best known ship in recorded history, there have been precious few models of Noah's Ark, never mind a quality injected styrene kit.  Now, thanks to Minicraft Models, there is one.  Produced to "cubit scale", the box states that the finished model is 1/350th actual size, given the finished model's length of over 18 1/2".

No one knows what the Ark actually looked like, but the split hull, interior detail and construction options incorporated in this kit makes it suitable for use as a teaching aid in children's Sunday School classes. Or, if you prefer, a very interesting conversation piece when displayed on your bookcase. Price? $79.95.

Does it come with optional dinosaurs? I know the Creation Museum claims that dinosaurs made it onto the Ark and were around until the time of the the Egyptians. I've been tempted to do a diorama of Egyptian chariots being hauled by Velociraptors since learning about that.

Hey Ian,

Go ahead and do the diorama. It'd make a great fantasy piece!

Incidentally, the first place I ever heard the notion of the dinosaurs surviving the flood was in a book of questions and answers about the bible. Written by a preacher, he actually created the questions so they could be answered the way he wanted them to be.

To make a long story short, the question was "How did the dinosaurs survive the flood?"

And the answer was "God had Noah take a pair of baby dinosaurs on the Ark and that's how the dinosaurs survived the flood."

After you've quit laughing hysterically - and assuming you want to know - drop me a line and I'll tell you why that statement is so riproaringly funny.

They also forgot to add both salt and fresh water aquaria to preserve all the fish, seaweed, crabs, dolphins, whales etc who would not be able to survive in the world oceans newly diluted with a layer of fresh rainwater 5 miles deep. Oops!

Glad we have all evolved past these silly ideas about earth's origins and embraced the true faith, reason. Charlie Darwin would be so proud of us. And Marx.

I am so glad you have your god Darwin to believe in. None of his crap has been able to be proved unless you accept that all of it can be disproved.
