As you were approaching the Ark the sky was kinda dark, storm clouds hovering, and the wind was blowing the trees as if a storm was brewing...amazingly appropriate . That gave me chills. I thoroughly enjoyed this. I hope to go there one day soon. Thank you so much for sharing.
We went to the Ark Encounter last summer and took our 10yr old grandson. The Ark is an amazing exhibit and I remember getting chills the first time I saw it in the distance. You know there is a lot of walking when your 10 yr old grandson starts to complain that his legs are tired! Lol! Great video! God Bless🙏✝️
Probably seen “Live Simple, Live Free” 50 times and my favorite is when Mr. Keller moves in. Hoping he is comfortable with camera and enjoys the attention. Mom’s Memorial and Sis in Oklahoma were tied for 2nd favorite until now. You did phenomenal job relaying enormity of ark and situation, drew us into your experience. Perhaps some may see how great our God is. Love to visit the Ark and museum. Thank yuns for sharing so much of yourselves and being unashamedly Christian. Love and Prayers, God Richly Bless Yuns

I love you both & greatly appreciate you. I am dedicated to your channel & am thankful you have invited us to hear your testimony & to be a part of your life's journey. This ark experience was amazing & overwhelming at the same time. I was in tears! This video allowed me to visually experience even more of God's magnificence & Noah's faith, trust & love for him. From the bottom of my heart, Thank you! 💗

A great alternative way to understand the origin of life! Our public schools teach kids that long ago, NON-living materials became a living thing - a false concept which has NEVER been demonstrated by anyone, anywhere, at any time, because it is a scientific impossibility. The Ark Encounter should be visited by public school teachers before teaching their students anything about our origins.
Can you even imagine being able to hear the Lord’s voice so clearly....and so perfectly....and so precisely....enough to be able to exact something of that size, magnitude, and importance? The ark is remarkable, of course, but Noah’s ability to hear God that way....blows....my.... mind. (A lyric from a song we learned when we saw Ken Ham at our state’s homeschool convention 12 or15 years ago... “If there really was a worldwide flood, what would the evidence be? Millions of dead things buried in rock layers....all over the earth!” Exactly!)
It is sad to hear that people actually believe anything this Ken actually says. Some of you guys should have spent more time studying actual science instead of believing Ken's pseudo science. Wake up!
@@55damien55 What Ken is talking about is Knowledge from Our Father in Heaven & Truth! What "science" is ...is MAN Based hypothesis. God always says to NOT believe Man or God. what Man has come up with is treacherously fraudulent UNLESS it is Direct from God to His Prophets.
@@paws4parker2, Science is not just man made Hypothesis. It's rigorously tested hypothesis. Please search what the "Scientific Method" is before saying that. If I was to create a religion tomorrow, I would definitely add a clause in there saying that people should only believe my god and no-one or other "false gods". It's religion 101.
I live about 4 hrs from the Ark Encounter and this is definitely on my bucket list. Glad you enjoyed yourselves and give this exhibit a thumbs up👍! Nice video.
Ken Ham is a true Christian. He came to my Air Force Base in Arizona to the base theater. He did a demonstration of Creation. I felt very privileged to see and hear him speak. Thank you for taking us along. God is in control. I Love that Noah was obedient to Gods commands. Thank you for Sharing the word of God and faith. Love the Red, White and Blue! Happy Memorial Day! Be safe!💝🎊🎈🎉
I live in central ky. Lexington Kentucky. I cant remember what it was but there was a lot of controversy over opening this park. Maybe I should giggle it lol. It is amazing. You said it took from 75 to 125 yrs for Noah and his sons to build the Ark. People lived alot longer then than they do now
I went with a church group about 3 or 4 years ago! I was around 68 or 69 at the time and there sure was a lot of walking! So thankful there was many places to sit down. The lady that I roomed with in the group was not very well,so we did sit a lot! I loved the buffet also,it was the biggest I ever saw! People would constantly come back to our table with different food and I'm like where was that it! I got separated from the family I rode with so I had to wait for them and they were the last one of our group to get done viewing the ark! I am a talker and will talk with anyone! What I truly loved was that everyone I talked with were so like minded! We had the same world view in God and Jesus! We even had Wonder political talks! That's what I think I loved the most was the great exciting conversations I had with people from all over! I wish I could go back to the creation museum,we are in northern Ohio so about a 4 hour drive! Even in my old age of almost 73 I would love to see the creation museum! My daughter and her kids have been talking of going to Mammoth cave, so maybe we can slip that in too! But I agree a lot of walking! I may need to be pushed next time! Literally!
There are a few items that Ken appears to have forgotten when building his playhouse. The New England Boat Builders Association has published a list of wooden vessels that require electric bilge pumps to stay afloat. According to Wikipedia, any wooden vessel over 350 feet will leak and sink without these pumps, especially in rough seas. Noah's 500 foot Ark carried 30,000 animals, including two dinosaurs over 100 feet long and weighing 9 tons. The Ark also needed a giant refrigeration system to preserve the food supply and a sanitation system to remove the animal waste spilling onto the three decks. The Ark needed ventilation to supply enough oxygen and remove the buildup of poisonous methane gas and airborne bacteria. Even if all these basic requirements were met, there was no need for Yahweh to drown all the unborn babies on the planet. Instead, he could have simply revoked free will, and no sins would have been committed. But he knew that before he began the creation process. It's apparent from his rejection of critical thinking that Ken Ham never truly understood the high school science he was teaching his students in Queensland, Australia. Instead, when choosing between faith and direct experience, Ken did a backward flip into the Bronze age of Hebrew fairy tales. How sad for him and the little children he is trying to indoctrinate with his primitive worldview.
We went in June 2019...as we came out...a rainbow was in the sky!!!!!! We did Creation Museum and Ark same day..we were at a campground where a couple had travelled all the way from BatonRouge LA, and wanted to go but could not get a car rental, so we took them, it was a tatal God ordained time, they both listened to my testimony and then decided I should pray for them. His back got healed and her hips got healed, then the next morning I prayed for the guy right beside us and all his gout pain left! PTL! What a wonderful time!!!❤
I have been watching you for a couple of weeks now and I just enjoy the two of you. This trip to the Ark encounter is something I would like very much to see. You are blessed to travel like you do and see such wonderful things and places.Your filming of places is very good ! Love your contagious smile ! Be Blessed.
While we visited the Ark, Mr. Ham made an appearance. It was such a beautiful place to visit. Made you really think about what was really on the Ark. Very thought provoking. I would love to go back to visit again. Just amazed me that each little detail was thought out so perfectly. It looked like a perfect time for you to go, when we went , it was a bit crowded. Glad you enjoyed your selves.
I did truly receive a blessing watching this video. I saw an interview with Ken Ham a few years ago right after the exhibit was complete and opened to the public. The video footage they showed did not do it justice. Your video is much better in my opinion. Thanks for bringing all of us along on your travels.
This was amazing! Thank you so much Bill and Elizabeth! Just wanted to add that I loved the background music you chose, as you were walking toward the Ark. It was so fitting, and very moving as well. For some reason it brought tears to my eyes...don't know why.
Great video! Loved the background music. Thank you for taking us on your trip. I have a question for Elizabeth....did the walker help you for the entire tour. How about your entire trip. I ask because I had a hip replacement but unfortunately I think arthritis has set in my other bones which makes it difficult to walk for long periods of time. We have a motorhome and want to travel but don’t know how long I’d be able to withstand all the walking. Thank you for your response and God Bless you both!
@@LiveSimpleLiveFree Thank you for your quick response. I've just resigned myself to using a walker when I have longer than usual walks to make. I'll definitely bling it out as it follows me through the rest of my life, lol!
Hi Elizabeth & Bill! Thanks so much for such a detailed tour along with you guys... really neat! So glad you got to go and see it! If you want to see a really good movie about Noah and the flood, it was made just a couple years ago with Russell Crow (Noah), Anthony Hopkins (Methusala) Ray Winstone (Tubal Cain), Frank Langella (Gog a fallen angel a "watcher") just an all star cast...EPIC! There is a lot of Book of Enoch added and some of the directors creative liscense, but it is an AMAZING movie! NOAH 2014....
We were there on the 13th of May. We drove there from Nebraska with our tiny trailer and stayed at big bone lick state historic park. We went to the museum on Sunday and the ark on Monday. We spent 7 1/2 hours there. We loved it!!! It was just incredible!! What day were you there? Looks like we just missed each other.
Thank you for showing us the Ark. What an amazing piece of history for our children to learn by going there. You both did an amazing job on filming. Love your channel. You both be Blessed !!
Can you please tell me about the beautiful music in the beginning of your video as you approach the Ark. Thank you for letting us join your interesting and exiting visit to the Ark.
WOW! Thank you so much for this! It's so amazing to visualize what Noah and his family accomplished. It's an amazing feat now, so makes it even more so to think about them doing all that back in the day. Of course, God was in control and with God NOTHING is impossible. Continued Blessings!
Wow what a blessing! Thank you so much for sharing your experience of the Ark with us. It is so awesome to see Ken Ham's dream of presenting this incredible representation of the Biblical account of History to the world. Also delighted that he picked Kentucky mountains reminiscent of Mount Ararat. :)
Thank you for sharing. I live in Australia so will never get to see it. We followed the building of this so now have seen inside, thanks. We have always enjoyed creation science magazines and love that Ken Ham was the person behind the project as he is a fellow Australian.
We went two years ago on Memorial weekend with a group of friends. Fabulous experience!! It is a lot of walking but the whole experience was great including the method of parking. You didn't wait in lines for anything. They have a great senior citizens discount too. We ate in the restaurant, Amzara's Cafe, and the serving line set up had a restaurant full of people moving through the lines without a pause. The prices were phenomenal with senior citizens/veterans discounts we ate for $7 each and it was all you can eat. The food was delicious too!! Truly a historical wonder. They even had a section devoted to climate change.
That is amazing that man being 102 years old. My grandmother lived to be 106 years old and in her right mine and love to laugh just couldn’t hear good. That ark was really big wasn’t it. I love seeing the inside. We live in Ohio my daughter and her family just went to that ( the Ark) 3 weeks ago. Glad you had a nice time.
Another great video !! The Ark is amazing!! It's good to know the Ark is walker accessible for those of us that require using one!! ( F.Y.I. Amazon sells a rollator walker that doubles as a transport chair . It has foot rest, as well as a push handle. I like this idea in place of a wheelchair!! Aprox $130).
@@LiveSimpleLiveFree I didn't realize yours had the foot rest!! I slipped on black ice in November. Broke my hip and femur. Had surgery, a titanium rod was placed inside my femur ( it goes approx from my hip to just above my knee). The rod and the screw just above my knee aren't painful, but the two screws in my hip cause constant pain. For some reason I developed a contracture in my knee following surgery. I'm able to walk with a cane for a short distance, but for a longer walk a walker is needed. I'm not complaining.... at least I didn't break my neck!! Best to both of you!!
Really enjoyable video. I live about two hours from the ark but have never been (but always wanted to go). Watching your video made me want to go even more!
You need to check out Ron Wyatt (RIP) He discovered Noah's Ark, Mt Sinai, Red Sea crossing and the Ark of the Covenant. His videos are on youtube and also if you search Ross Patterson he gives full on explanations w/proof of Ron's discoveries
Thumbs down don't surprise me. We get a few on every video. But Noah's Ark is especially controversial for nonbelievers who thinks it's just a ridiculous fairy tale. I would be surprised if we DIDN'T get any thumbs down on this video.
Great video. Can’t wait to go there. It’s been on my bucket list. I do have to say on a side note, ma’am, you are absolutely beautiful! Your smile could light up a room a mile away. It is obvious you are a very kind, intelligent, and genuine lady.
Wow!! Very interesting to say the least. I don’t know if I could do it in one day. So much walking I would have to take a floor a day so I could take it all in. Thank you so much for taking us along. I really enjoyed it.
Wow. I cannot wait to see the Ark for myself!! I would like to bring my son there. He is a non-believer, very intelligent and argumentative, and I'd like for him to see and read everything. I have a feeling that he might be convinced to change his mind. Thank you for sharing your awesome experience! :)
Most people would actually hope that HE convinces you that it's all but a fairy-tale and that it did not happen. I hope you will also let him show you the evidence for evolution which is overwhelming and led to the theory of evolution instead of the pseudo science preached by Ken Ham.
That is amazing. When thinking about all the land creatures gathered together in one place for an extended amount of time and the provisions needed for sustenance is one major event. Now on the backside to this is the sanitation process and all that had been planned involving this. You both certainly know how to clean Leo's kitty litter but can you just imagine this and all that goes with it? God had the entire process worked out as God shut the door of the Ark. Thank you again for taking us with you.
WOW!!! This was fantastic, absolutely fantastic!! What an awesome gift you guys gave to all of your TH-cam viewers, to be able to see this exhibit!! Many of us may never have the opportunity to view this in person, and this might be their sole chance. Myself, I most likely will never be able to travel to see it in person, so I thank you both, from the bottom of my heart, for letting me come along with you to experience this. Incredible. I paused the video many times to read the plaques and signs and to gaze at the wonders I was seeing. Wow! What else can I say? God is amazing beyond all we can imagine amazing to be. He truly does speak to His people who choose to listen. And the ark is a fine example of what we can achieve if we are truly tuned in to our Heavenly Father's voice. Wow! And I think, too, that the Noah's ark is a great example of how much God loves us. I mean, look at the extent He went to in order to save those eight people, already having in His thoughts all of us who came along later. Really, there are no adequate words. God bless you both, Bill and Elizabeth. Amen.
If you were alive at the time, do you really think you would have been one of the 8 people saved? If this story was true it would have been the biggest genocide in history. Is that what an "amazing" god would do and shows how much he "loves us" as you say. People, please open your eyes to the lies you are told using fake science from Ken Ham and Co.
@@DRUMMER-j-u2x I don't remember Christians being so close minded. I didn't know I was supposed to wait for permission to provide my point of view. Nobody stopped you from giving yours. I'm just pointing out that the story does not make sense from the point of view of an all loving god. Also it makes even less sense from a scientific point of view. Darwin bless you and your family.
That was absolutely amazing thank you for taking us along. How did I miss the fact that you y'all we're going there I don't know. But I'm glad I got to see some of it. Here's a little interesting fact. I was looking and I've been fascinated by linen lately so when it showed Noah and his family I imagine they had to use fine linen for the clothes and bed. From what I've been learning I think they only used linen or wool. linen which is made of flax and wool which is made from animal. So here's a little interesting facts about linen. Linen has 5,000 units of healing power, it's two to three times stronger than cotton, it's lint-free, it can hold 20% of moisture without getting wet, it's antibacterial, there's over 200 varieties of flax, the plant has five different flowers that only open for 5 hours for one day, the colors are blue, violet, scarlet, and white, no fabric can outperform linen, it's holy and part of the sanctification it gives happy energy, it reduces solar gamma radiation, it retrieves radioactive soil appears to be resistant to radiation, the average human frequency is between 70 and 90 when the human frequency is at 50 they are considered to have a chronic disease when the human frequency is 15 they are considered to have a life terminal illness such as cancer. The atomic frequency of linen has 5000 units cotton has 40 organic cotton has 100. Wool frequency has 5000 units silk has 10 units rayon, wood and bamboo have 15% frequency spandex, Lycra, polyester, acrylic, vicrose, and nylon have zero. This is why we believe the Bible tells us not to mix wool and linen together because both have 5000 units of energy and when mixed together it collapses the electrical field. With linen, healing is rapid it's resistant to fungus and bacteria. It's healing properties are wonderful for MRSA rash and eczema. Fine linen is the righteousness of saints. did you know that surgical sutures are made of linen? many hospitals use linen sheets. Linen is very expensive but it is a beautiful fabric I love it and I bought myself some bed sheets it lays nicely. When making linen the fibers in the flax tear easily the fibers are Arie and open allowing the fabric to breathe. I hope you found that as interesting as I did. Love you all till next time. GOD Bless
Linen is my favorite fabric. It takes a lot of work to grow the flax, process it, spin it into linen threads and then weave it. I know that because I've done it. God told Moses to use linen for the Tabernacle curtains. It says in the Bible that linen is worn by the armies of God and the angels. Linen never completely wears out - it just keeps getting thinner and thinner until you can see through it, but the fibers are still strong. Linen is mentioned many, many times in the Bible. I expect that's what our clothes will be made of when we get to Heaven. Diane in North Carolina
@@jimmiepatrum amen yes I believe our clothes robes and gowns will be made of fine linen. Linen is mentioned over 90 times in the Bible some say 104 times. So we know it plays a very important part
Not that I specifically remember, but we didn't see everything. But... it was built with a big opening in the center that went all the way to the hull. The roof could be opened up for ventilation and to let natural light all the way to the bottom deck.
Was there a couple months ago and loved it. There is a lot to see and I can relate to kind of hurrying up by the third floor, lots of walking. Did not have time to see the creation museum. Will try and get back down there later. Also, I agree that buffet was awesome 👍👍.
Bless you both for sharing this with us. I was so excited to see it. Now I can plan a trip to see it soon. It is so good to see you both in good health and enjoying your retirement years together! Love and peace, Chris.
Well done family visit, including good edits, 'steady-cam' and enough time to read a sampling of exhibits. The moth reproduction for feeding reptiles now makes sense. And from that I can deduce how eight people can feed thousands of animals. The Noah family did not have to hand feed most of the animals, they had systems in place to do that. Go God!
@@LiveSimpleLiveFree I reported this troll its always some miserable attention seeker ..i enjoyed the video..my husband is stationed is Kansas City Missouri him and couple of his colleagues went
i so want to go and see this myself!! Even if i have to go it alone! LOL - Looks incredible - seen so many vids on it and i can't wait to walk in and take a look at it for myself! Imagine all that Noah and his family had to get done - within the year before the rains came! WOW ----amazing..... Talk about HUSSLE.... by the way Elizabeth you look adorbs with the hat and also your last vid with that same hat and the ponytails THAT is the cutest hairstyle for you! You looked so adorable - had to share that! Big hugs to ya;ll from Texas
Wonderful video! I want to see it with my Bible study friends. A question for you, do they have wheelchairs for rent at the Ark? I have a rollator but that won't work for 6 hours. Thank you for bringing us along😊
This must have been so totally amazing to see. I don't know that I'll ever be able to see it, but thanks to your video I have an idea of how expansive and complex Noah's ark must have been! I never even thought about how they fed and watered so many creatures until you pointed out the system they thought they would have used! Can you imagine feeding and watering all those beautiful animals, I bet they slept well after a day of that! lol Now this is my own thoughts but one day this idea popped into my head " where does it say that the animals were adults?" Right away ( being an animal lover ) I thought " oh joy, I love baby animals, how much fun would that be?! " lol Thank you so much for the tour Bill and Elizabeth! 😊 Maybe some day, God willing, I'll see it for myself.
oh man thank you so much for this!!!! some of my family have been there and after them talking about it i didn't feel an urge to visit but now i see that their descriptions didn't do it justice. after seeing this vlog i cant wait to plan a trip for my husband and i to go visit this amazing experience. THANK YOU !!!
I loved this video. I doubt I will ever be able to actually see the Ark Encounter in person, so it was wonderful to view it through your eyes. I loved all the animal noises...I'm sure Noah and his family heard animals constantly. The ark is so much bigger than I imagined. Thank you very, very much for making this video. Questions: Did they talk about how they handled the waste that so many animals would produce? Did you see any insects other than the moths you showed? I dearly love insects. Diane in North Carolina
That is sooo cool!! I’m thankful you guys got to leave Oklahoma before you needed that Ark. You could seriously float that giant thing here right now! So much rain. LOL
Wow ! Thank you so much for sharing ! My family has been to the Creation Museum and it was amazing ! We have got to put this on our list to visit ! We sure do serve an awesome God ! Thanks again and have a wonderful day!

You are right! We hadn’t really realized it, but it was pretty dramatic! The whole experience was incredible. Hope you can go someday soon! ❤️

I did truly receive a blessing watching this video. I saw an interview with Ken Ham a few years ago right after the exhibit was complete and opened to the public. The video footage they showed did not do it justice. Your video is much better in my opinion. Thanks for bringing all of us along on your travels.
This was amazing! Thank you so much Bill and Elizabeth! Just wanted to add that I loved the background music you chose, as you were walking toward the Ark. It was so fitting, and very moving as well. For some reason it brought tears to my eyes...don't know why.
This is Elizabeth. It made me tear up, too. :’-)
It was a lot of fun and great info both of the museums. Glad you went.
Great video! Loved the background music. Thank you for taking us on your trip. I have a question for Elizabeth....did the walker help you for the entire tour. How about your entire trip. I ask because I had a hip replacement but unfortunately I think arthritis has set in my other bones which makes it difficult to walk for long periods of time. We have a motorhome and want to travel but don’t know how long I’d be able to withstand all the walking. Thank you for your response and God Bless you both!
The walker really helped, mainly because I could sit down when I needed to.
@@LiveSimpleLiveFree Thank you for your quick response. I've just resigned myself to using a walker when I have longer than usual walks to make. I'll definitely bling it out as it follows me through the rest of my life, lol!
Hi Elizabeth & Bill! Thanks so much for such a detailed tour along with you guys... really neat! So glad you got to go and see it! If you want to see a really good movie about Noah and the flood, it was made just a couple years ago with Russell Crow (Noah), Anthony Hopkins (Methusala) Ray Winstone (Tubal Cain), Frank Langella (Gog a fallen angel a "watcher") just an all star cast...EPIC! There is a lot of Book of Enoch added and some of the directors creative liscense, but it is an AMAZING movie! NOAH 2014....
I do wish it would have stayed closer to the Biblical account, but it was an exciting movie. The real story is just so good without changing things! 😊
We were there on the 13th of May. We drove there from Nebraska with our tiny trailer and stayed at big bone lick state historic park. We went to the museum on Sunday and the ark on Monday. We spent 7 1/2 hours there. We loved it!!! It was just incredible!! What day were you there? Looks like we just missed each other.
Yup, we just missed each other. We were at the Ark on May 9
Thank you for showing us the Ark. What an amazing piece of history for our children to learn by going there. You both did an amazing job on filming. Love your channel. You both be Blessed !!
Enjoyed visiting the ark encounter with you. We loved it our first time and now long to see it again.
Can you please tell me about the beautiful music in the beginning of your video as you approach the Ark. Thank you for letting us join your interesting and exiting visit to the Ark.
That music is free for us to use from TH-cam. Isn’t it beautiful!
I know a lady who went to the Ark Encounter. She really enjoyed it.
WOW! Thank you so much for this! It's so amazing to visualize what Noah and his family accomplished. It's an amazing feat now, so makes it even more so to think about them doing all that back in the day. Of course, God was in control and with God NOTHING is impossible. Continued Blessings!
Thank you for showing this....our God is so awesome....
Do you have a video of your tour of the creation museum? Or where can I see it if you know.
No, sorry. We were at the Creation Museum several years before we started You Tube. 🙁
loved this video so much God Bless you Bill and Elizabeth
I hope to go see this in person as well. Thanks again for your time and taking us along on the tour.
Excellent Video. 💯👍👍😎
Great Video, know I want to go, thanks for the tour.
What a wonderful thing, thank you so much for sharing this with us, you two are the best! God is so good!
Wow what a treat go through this with yall, I loved it!! Thank you so much for sharing ❤
Wow what a blessing! Thank you so much for sharing your experience of the Ark with us. It is so awesome to see Ken Ham's dream of presenting this incredible representation of the Biblical account of History to the world. Also delighted that he picked Kentucky mountains reminiscent of Mount Ararat. :)
My husband and I want to travel like you are doing. So many things to see in this great country of ours! Thanks for sharing with us!💓
Thank you for sharing. I live in Australia so will never get to see it. We followed the building of this so now have seen inside, thanks. We have always enjoyed creation science magazines and love that Ken Ham was the person behind the project as he is a fellow Australian.
Yes, he is! 😊
We went two years ago on Memorial weekend with a group of friends. Fabulous experience!! It is a lot of walking but the whole experience was great including the method of parking. You didn't wait in lines for anything. They have a great senior citizens discount too. We ate in the restaurant, Amzara's Cafe, and the serving line set up had a restaurant full of people moving through the lines without a pause. The prices were phenomenal with senior citizens/veterans discounts we ate for $7 each and it was all you can eat. The food was delicious too!! Truly a historical wonder. They even had a section devoted to climate change.
That is amazing that man being 102 years old. My grandmother lived to be 106 years old and in her right mine and love to laugh just couldn’t hear good. That ark was really big wasn’t it. I love seeing the inside. We live in Ohio my daughter and her family just went to that ( the Ark) 3 weeks ago. Glad you had a nice time.
Another great video !! The Ark is amazing!! It's good to know the Ark is walker accessible for those of us that require using one!! ( F.Y.I. Amazon sells a rollator walker that doubles as a transport chair . It has foot rest, as well as a push handle. I like this idea in place of a wheelchair!! Aprox $130).
That’s what I have. 😊
@@LiveSimpleLiveFree I didn't realize yours had the foot rest!! I slipped on black ice in November. Broke my hip and femur. Had surgery, a titanium rod was placed inside my femur ( it goes approx from my hip to just above my knee). The rod and the screw just above my knee aren't painful, but the two screws in my hip cause constant pain. For some reason I developed a contracture in my knee following surgery. I'm able to walk with a cane for a short distance, but for a longer walk a walker is needed. I'm not complaining.... at least I didn't break my neck!! Best to both of you!!
What a blessing! Enjoyed this so much! God bless you both you are my kind of people!
😊
Do they have scooters or wheelchairs there for those of us who have difficulty walking?
Yes, you can rent them.
Loved this. I am not able to go but you guys gave me a good overview. Thank you! Love your site!!!
Really enjoyable video. I live about two hours from the ark but have never been (but always wanted to go). Watching your video made me want to go even more!
Do it! You will be blessed.
What was the system for disposing of all the animal poop?
Shoveling it into a pulley system that delivered it to a moon pool (hole in the bottom of the ship) for disposal into the ocean.
That was my experience also. Well worth driving from Ontario to Ark Encounter.
I loved getting to watch this video. Thank you!
We are planning a trip there. This video really helped me to know how to prepare for our trip. Thank you for sharing!
Enjoy!
A wonderful tour and so very interesting.
We've been to both the Creation Museum and the Ark. Both are amazing especially the Ark. After seeing your video, I want to go again!
You need to check out Ron Wyatt (RIP) He discovered Noah's Ark, Mt Sinai, Red Sea crossing and the Ark of the Covenant. His videos are on youtube and also if you search Ross Patterson he gives full on explanations w/proof of Ron's discoveries
Can't believe you got some thumbs down. The Ark is awesome. Loved to go an see it. Thanks for sharing. Safe travels. Blessings. 😎🇺🇸
Thumbs down don't surprise me. We get a few on every video. But Noah's Ark is especially controversial for nonbelievers who thinks it's just a ridiculous fairy tale. I would be surprised if we DIDN'T get any thumbs down on this video.
What an awesome powerful video! My wife and children would be thrilled to visit the ark and so would I!!!
Incredible!Thanks for sharing
Most beautiful and appropriate backdrop music, nice editing
Great video. Can’t wait to go there. It’s been on my bucket list.
I do have to say on a side note, ma’am, you are absolutely beautiful! Your smile could light up a room a mile away. It is obvious you are a very kind, intelligent, and genuine lady.
Thank you so much!
Wow! That was great, thanks Bill and Elizabeth 💕🦙🐘🦒🐅🦓🐏🐫🦌
Martha Kelley Royston have you been here at tbe Ark Encounter? Amazing ! John Lind would like it, also.
Thank you for the trip thru the Ark, now my want to go and see it for myself is hightened even more. I’ll make it one day. Can’t wait. Safe travels.
Wow!! Very interesting to say the least. I don’t know if I could do it in one day. So much walking I would have to take a floor a day so I could take it all in. Thank you so much for taking us along. I really enjoyed it.
Wow that’s fascinating! It’s so great to see Elizabeth able to manage those long hours of walking. I don’t think I could’ve! PTL.
Thanks for this awesome video. I have begun to pray that I might one day take my granddaughter to the Ark. I have attempted to peak her interest.
Wow. I cannot wait to see the Ark for myself!! I would like to bring my son there. He is a non-believer, very intelligent and argumentative, and I'd like for him to see and read everything. I have a feeling that he might be convinced to change his mind. Thank you for sharing your awesome experience! :)
Most people would actually hope that HE convinces you that it's all but a fairy-tale and that it did not happen. I hope you will also let him show you the evidence for evolution which is overwhelming and led to the theory of evolution instead of the pseudo science preached by Ken Ham.
That is amazing. When thinking about all the land creatures gathered together in one place for an extended amount of time and the provisions needed for sustenance is one major event. Now on the backside to this is the sanitation process and all that had been planned involving this. You both certainly know how to clean Leo's kitty litter but can you just imagine this and all that goes with it? God had the entire process worked out as God shut the door of the Ark. Thank you again for taking us with you.
Not that amazing, considering that it did not happen.
Thank you for sharing... someday I would like to go there
Thank you for taking us along 💖
I didn't hear about this until now. Looking forward to my family visiting it!
Thank you for sharing. Ive been to the Ark so great...Enjoy
WOW!!! This was fantastic, absolutely fantastic!! What an awesome gift you guys gave to all of your TH-cam viewers, to be able to see this exhibit!! Many of us may never have the opportunity to view this in person, and this might be their sole chance. Myself, I most likely will never be able to travel to see it in person, so I thank you both, from the bottom of my heart, for letting me come along with you to experience this. Incredible. I paused the video many times to read the plaques and signs and to gaze at the wonders I was seeing. Wow! What else can I say? God is amazing beyond all we can imagine amazing to be. He truly does speak to His people who choose to listen. And the ark is a fine example of what we can achieve if we are truly tuned in to our Heavenly Father's voice. Wow! And I think, too, that the Noah's ark is a great example of how much God loves us. I mean, look at the extent He went to in order to save those eight people, already having in His thoughts all of us who came along later. Really, there are no adequate words. God bless you both, Bill and Elizabeth. Amen.
If you were alive at the time, do you really think you would have been one of the 8 people saved? If this story was true it would have been the biggest genocide in history. Is that what an "amazing" god would do and shows how much he "loves us" as you say. People, please open your eyes to the lies you are told using fake science from Ken Ham and Co.
@@55damien55 I don't remember asking your opinion. Have a nice day. God bless you!!
@@DRUMMER-j-u2x I don't remember Christians being so close minded. I didn't know I was supposed to wait for permission to provide my point of view. Nobody stopped you from giving yours. I'm just pointing out that the story does not make sense from the point of view of an all loving god. Also it makes even less sense from a scientific point of view. Darwin bless you and your family.
@@55damien55 God bless you!! Have a nice day!!
Ahmazing. Ty for sharing the ark footage
Thank you for sharing. The Ark in Kentucky and The Bible Museum in Washington DC are on my bucket list. Have fun and safe travels.
That was absolutely amazing thank you for taking us along. How did I miss the fact that you y'all we're going there I don't know. But I'm glad I got to see some of it. Here's a little interesting fact. I was looking and I've been fascinated by linen lately so when it showed Noah and his family I imagine they had to use fine linen for the clothes and bed. From what I've been learning I think they only used linen or wool. linen which is made of flax and wool which is made from animal. So here's a little interesting facts about linen. Linen has 5,000 units of healing power, it's two to three times stronger than cotton, it's lint-free, it can hold 20% of moisture without getting wet, it's antibacterial, there's over 200 varieties of flax, the plant has five different flowers that only open for 5 hours for one day, the colors are blue, violet, scarlet, and white, no fabric can outperform linen, it's holy and part of the sanctification it gives happy energy, it reduces solar gamma radiation, it retrieves radioactive soil appears to be resistant to radiation, the average human frequency is between 70 and 90 when the human frequency is at 50 they are considered to have a chronic disease when the human frequency is 15 they are considered to have a life terminal illness such as cancer. The atomic frequency of linen has 5000 units cotton has 40 organic cotton has 100. Wool frequency has 5000 units silk has 10 units rayon, wood and bamboo have 15% frequency spandex, Lycra, polyester, acrylic, vicrose, and nylon have zero. This is why we believe the Bible tells us not to mix wool and linen together because both have 5000 units of energy and when mixed together it collapses the electrical field. With linen, healing is rapid it's resistant to fungus and bacteria. It's healing properties are wonderful for MRSA rash and eczema. Fine linen is the righteousness of saints. did you know that surgical sutures are made of linen? many hospitals use linen sheets. Linen is very expensive but it is a beautiful fabric I love it and I bought myself some bed sheets it lays nicely. When making linen the fibers in the flax tear easily the fibers are Arie and open allowing the fabric to breathe. I hope you found that as interesting as I did. Love you all till next time. GOD Bless
Thanks!
Linen is my favorite fabric. It takes a lot of work to grow the flax, process it, spin it into linen threads and then weave it. I know that because I've done it. God told Moses to use linen for the Tabernacle curtains. It says in the Bible that linen is worn by the armies of God and the angels. Linen never completely wears out - it just keeps getting thinner and thinner until you can see through it, but the fibers are still strong. Linen is mentioned many, many times in the Bible. I expect that's what our clothes will be made of when we get to Heaven. Diane in North Carolina
@@jimmiepatrum amen yes I believe our clothes robes and gowns will be made of fine linen. Linen is mentioned over 90 times in the Bible some say 104 times. So we know it plays a very important part
God is still at work today! That's how this repro was made... incredible. Thanks for doing this video!
Did they say anything about lighting/lamps?
Not that I specifically remember, but we didn't see everything. But... it was built with a big opening in the center that went all the way to the hull. The roof could be opened up for ventilation and to let natural light all the way to the bottom deck.
Tinyhouse Prepper thanks so much! What a treat to see, even on TH-cam!
The Ark Encounter was amazing. I would highly recommend it to anyone, believer or not. It is just up the road from me about an hour.
We were amazed when we saw it!
Hi Elizabeth and Bill, is Leo in the RV ? I’m sure he’s fine cause it’s cool in KY this May today. 🙏💛🙏
We even had some AC on for him just in case. 😊
It did make me think of it being the first zoo, and confirms we should have zoos today to preserve animals. Really neat.
Thanks for sharing this trip.
How much is the tickets to Noah's Ark and the other one.
There are different priced tickets depending on what package you purchase. All prices are listed on the website. arkencounter.com/tickets/
thank you for sharing-we are going to be there next week-can't wait to see the ark come to life!
You’ll love it. Wow, it’s big! 😊
Was there a couple months ago and loved it. There is a lot to see and I can relate to kind of hurrying up by the third floor, lots of walking. Did not have time to see the creation museum. Will try and get back down there later. Also, I agree that buffet was awesome 👍👍.
Bless you both for sharing this with us. I was so excited to see it. Now I can plan a trip to see it soon. It is so good to see you both in good health and enjoying your retirement years together! Love and peace, Chris.
Well done family visit, including good edits, 'steady-cam' and enough time to read a sampling of exhibits. The moth reproduction for feeding reptiles now makes sense. And from that I can deduce how eight people can feed thousands of animals. The Noah family did not have to hand feed most of the animals, they had systems in place to do that. Go God!
I'm so glad that you was able to Go this is one of the places on my to visit list
Because you like fairy tales, yes?
No, it is not a fairy tale.
If you get a chance to go, you will be amazed. 👍🏼😊
@@LiveSimpleLiveFree Amazed at how many of you gullible buybull belt dwellers find solace in a fairy tale. As supposedly mature people...
@@LiveSimpleLiveFree I reported this troll its always some miserable attention seeker ..i enjoyed the video..my husband is stationed is Kansas City Missouri him and couple of his colleagues went
I’ve seen several videos on The Ark Encounter but yours is by far the best showing more detail and reading some of the plaques. Thank you. ❤️
i so want to go and see this myself!! Even if i have to go it alone! LOL - Looks incredible - seen so many vids on it and i can't wait to walk in and take a look at it for myself! Imagine all that Noah and his family had to get done - within the year before the rains came! WOW ----amazing..... Talk about HUSSLE....
by the way Elizabeth you look adorbs with the hat and also your last vid with that same hat and the ponytails THAT is the cutest hairstyle for you! You looked so adorable - had to share that! Big hugs to ya;ll from Texas
😁
Wonderful video! I want to see it with my Bible study friends. A question for you, do they have wheelchairs for rent at the Ark? I have a rollator but that won't work for 6 hours. Thank you for bringing us along😊
Yes, they have wheelchairs (and motorized carts and elevators). It’s very handicap friendly. 😊
@@LiveSimpleLiveFree thank you for responding so quickly! Now, that I know I can rent there, the trip is going to happen😊 Blessings
Thank you soooooo much.
Thank you for sharing because I don't know if I will get to go see it in person.
Thank you so much for taking me with yall . May God Bless you and keep you safe.
This must have been so totally amazing to see. I don't know that I'll ever be able to see it, but thanks to your video I have an idea of how expansive and complex Noah's ark must have been! I never even thought about how they fed and watered so many creatures until you pointed out the system they thought they would have used! Can you imagine feeding and watering all those beautiful animals, I bet they slept well after a day of that! lol Now this is my own thoughts but one day this idea popped into my head " where does it say that the animals were adults?" Right away ( being an animal lover ) I thought " oh joy, I love baby animals, how much fun would that be?! " lol Thank you so much for the tour Bill and Elizabeth! 😊 Maybe some day, God willing, I'll see it for myself.
Yes, most of the larger animals were probably all babies. 👍
oh man thank you so much for this!!!! some of my family have been there and after them talking about it i didn't feel an urge to visit but now i see that their descriptions didn't do it justice. after seeing this vlog i cant wait to plan a trip for my husband and i to go visit this amazing experience. THANK YOU !!!
I loved this video. I doubt I will ever be able to actually see the Ark Encounter in person, so it was wonderful to view it through your eyes. I loved all the animal noises...I'm sure Noah and his family heard animals constantly. The ark is so much bigger than I imagined. Thank you very, very much for making this video. Questions: Did they talk about how they handled the waste that so many animals would produce? Did you see any insects other than the moths you showed? I dearly love insects. Diane in North Carolina
They had efficient systems for handling waste!
After watching this i really wanted to see this in person. Its only 4 hours away so i didn't have to travel far but it was well worth it!
We’re glad you got to see it!
Thank
You😊
That is sooo cool!! I’m thankful you guys got to leave Oklahoma before you needed that Ark. You could seriously float that giant thing here right now! So much rain. LOL
Wow ! Thank you so much for sharing ! My family has been to the Creation Museum and it was amazing ! We have got to put this on our list to visit ! We sure do serve an awesome God ! Thanks again and have a wonderful day!
My husband and I were there when it first opened. I was in awe of how big it was.
