Modern-Day Noah: Dutch Man Builds Ark of Biblical Proportions
Now, the Dutch building contractor has nearly completed a life-size model of Noah's ark, which he says will be ready for visitors in May. His current opus follows the dimensions described in Genesis 6:15 -- 300 cubits by 50 cubits by 30 cubits. The new ark's volume is nearly ten times the original's. Despite his attempted precision, there is no standardized interpretation of the size of a cubit. Huiber is equating the biblical measurement to half a meter. Inside, it houses two theaters, a cinema, a restaurant, live animals (of course) and a train that takes visitors on a ride through the creation story....

1 Cor 9:7 Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat its grapes? Who tends a flock and does not drink the milk?....................... 13 Don’t you know that those who serve in the temple get their food from the temple, and that those who serve at the altar share in what is offered on the altar? 14 In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.

Mr Huibers may well make some money from this project. After all, he's working full time on this replica.
Furthermore, it is really worth noting that here in the Netherlands, it is nearly a miracle to find anyone who still believes the story of Noah and a six-day creation. Outside of church, that is. Therefore, I think it is great to see this ark being built, and this message being proclaimed.
Some years ago quite some people went to the former replica, and most reports claimed it had some impact.
None of these new arks will be of any use even if they do float when the end comes!
2 Peter 3 6 through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water. 7 But the present heavens and earth by His word are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.---NASB
