I really strongly suggest that any Christian or anyone even curious about Christianity and their faith, spend a good bit of time researching and reading up on Ken Ham and all the stuff he does & has accomplished. He is so incredibly prolific. He absolutely has been touched by God.

Ken Ham has written dozens of books, opened the Creation Museum, and literally built a life-size Noah's Ark.....!!! It's part of the Creation Museum too, in Kentucky. He runs an extremely active YouTube channel. I literally don't know how the man does it. He's almost like an Australian version of President Trump!! Ha.

Point of all this; the more I read, research, learn and think, the more I'm taken down the path towards creationism, not evolution, "big bang" and crap like that. And his YouTube channels have been a significant force behind my awakening.

Here are links to some of Ken Ham's amazing work

Ken Ham's Personal YouTube is absolutely worth following: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOtgG1fKGni_YHapU4RMMRQ

And saving the best & biggest for last....... Ken Ham is one of the main forces behind this actual, life-size replica of Noah's Ark.....!!! Ken Ham (and others) built a real, Honest to God, life-size, Noah's Ark, and it operates right now as a museum.

But it gets better; it actually WORKS. Like; they did the math, engineering & science, and proved / showed how something like the ark could truly function and be very real and serviceable. Forget about floating; (which a vessel like that technically could, but it's a fixed, land-based museum) they worked out ingenious ways to distribute food & water to the animals, ways to deal with waste, keep each animal separated & secure, etc....!!!!!! They came up with ingenious ways to make it a FUNCTIONAL vessel! Mind blowing. https://arkencounter.com/

One point that was a giant epiphany for me:

The Bible told Noah to gather two of each KIND of animal, NOT two of EVERY ANIMAL.

Two of each KIND of animal.

Guess what KIND of animal Labradors, golden retrievers, poodles, and Great Danes all are?

Dogs.

Guess what Lions, tigers, and cougars are?

Big cats.

Guess what Polar, grizzly, black, and brown bears are?

Bears.

So Noah likely simply took two of every kind of animal, which actually makes the whole thing a lot more feasible!

ALSO.......

If you were preparing to start over before the end of the world.....what would you do / want / take?

Would you take a rest home full of 80-90 year olds? No. You'd take young, strong, healthy people.

Noah almost certainly took YOUNG examples of each KIND of animal, again making it a lot more realistic & possible. I mean; think of the physical size difference between an adult and newborn elephant. Or Giraffe. Or....... you get it.

Not every book listed here is by Ken individually, but a ton of them are: https://answersingenesis.org/store/books/?start=0&count=72

I'll close with one of my favorite quotes: "Modern science is based on the principle: 'Give us one free miracle and we'll explain the rest.'"
