Biblical engineering: when Sunday school meets shipyard science.
As we learn more about ancient shipbuilding we must ask the question, “When Noah constructed the Ark, wouldn’t he have used the technology of his day? Could he follow the Lord’s directions and actually build a ship able to withstand the cataclysmic tempest?” Following the example of Drs. Henry Morris and John Whitcomb’s ground-breaking book, The Genesis Flood, Ark researcher Tim Lovett applies new findings to the contours and interior design of the Ark, while maintaining an unwavering commitment to the Word of God.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was produced by Answers in Genesis, the Kentucky-based ministry that later built the life-size Ark Encounter theme park—a $100 million escalation of this exact vision.
Tim Lovett, the featured 'Ark researcher,' is actually a mechanical engineer by training, not a biblical scholar or archaeologist.
