Ken Ham put to shame

By pharyngula on April 19, 2011.

Oh, sure, Ken Ham wants to build a life-sized Noah's Ark…but he's trying to get tens of millions of dollars of tax breaks to build a giant ark that won't even float. Johan Huibers is building his own version, and even plans to sail it around the world. Sorry, but the video is entirely in Dutch, but at least you can witness his sophisticated building techniques.

Do the Dutch authorities demand some kind of inspection before they allow so-called boats to be launched? Because that thing looks like it will barely make it into the harbor before it capsizes.

Ken Ham needs to meet this challenge: I want to see him out there with a nail gun, tacking sticks and boards together with his own money, and then I want him to set sail into the Atlantic and meet Johan Huibers halfway, where they can argue theology.
