Ham said: "I find some of the aggressive secularists try to shut down people talking about the bible. So for us it's 'How can we get a message out there about the Bible?'"

He added that the ark is 510 feet long, 85 feet wide, and 51 feet high. Its three decks length in excess of 120,000 square feet.
