Australian creationist Rod Walsh will present the case that the biblical story of Noah’s Ark is a real part of history and not a myth as is often supposed.
He will speak at Snells Beach Baptist Church on Thursday, November 1 at 7.30pm.
To help illustrate his points, Mr Walsh will bring along one of seven Noah’s Ark models he has built.
The model he will bring along to Snells Beach is two metres long with a removable roof and is a scaled-down version of the original ark.
The precise measurements of the original are recorded in the book of Genesis as being 300 x 50 x 30 cubits.
This translates to 140 x 23 x 14 metres, which provides a volume of 45,000 cubic metres, about the same as 522 standard American railroad stock cars. Each stock car can hold 240 sheep.
Mr Walsh has spent 14 years studying the feasibility of Noah’s Ark and its ability to rescue Noah and his family and all the animals on board from a worldwide flood.
Questions he has grappled with include, were there dinosaurs on the ark? How did all the animals stay alive on the ark? Did people in biblical times have the technology to build an ark? And what evidence do we see today for a global flood?
Mr Walsh serves with Creation Ministries International, which promotes a literal interpretation of the book of Genesis. He spends much of the year lecturing in Australia and in other parts of the world.
Admission to the Snells Beach lecture is free.
