An old man with limited tools and resources, even less skill, and a challenge to save the world from impending doom. Could you do it? By all accounts of science and logic, it simply could not have been done without divine assistance. But what if it could? What if one old man could have built a craft one and a half times the size of a football field, gathered specimens of the animals of the world, loaded them on board, and survived a torrential, global flood that lasted more than a year? Moreover, what if he could have done it all without direct divine intervention? This story demonstrates just one possible explanation for the most fantastic tale in the history of man, its heroes not mythical, biblical characters of a magical time but rather flesh-and-blood, frail, humans. The details of the construction of the ark, the gathering of the animals and even of the survival of those terrified inhabitants of the ark are embedded in a fascinating and inspirational tale of the triumph of the human spirit. Only through immeasurable courage and determination could these pilgrims have survived the most incredible adventure in the history of mankind.
