A carpenter who built a full-on, life-sized replica of Noah’s Ark in order to prove God’s existence, has now revealed plans to sail it to Israel.

It has attracted impressed onlookers since it was first placed in the Maas River, in the south of the Netherlands, back in 2012 – but Huibers says he has big plans for it.

Speaking to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, he said:
“My preferred destination for the ark is Israel.” Before adding that he’d read the bible ‘cover to cover’. Why bother, mate? Could have just stopped at the bit in the Old Testament where Noah gets a mention.
“This is a copy of God’s ship,” he explained. “It only makes sense to take it to God’s land.”

Johan says he built the ark as an attempt to ‘show people that God exists’, and that he wanted ‘children to come here and feel the texture of the wood, see the nails and see that is written in the book is true’.
