Visitors pass outside the front of a replica Noah's Ark at the Ark Encounter theme park during a media preview day, Tuesday, July 5, 2016, in Williamstown, Ky. The long-awaited theme park based on the story of a man who got a warning from God about a worldwide flood will debut in central Kentucky this Thursday. The Christian group behind the 510 foot-long wooden ark says it will demonstrate that the stories of the Bible are true. Its construction has rankled opponents who say the attraction will be detrimental to science education. (Photo by John Minchillo/AP Photo)

Sort:  

what epic pictures you have! Nice Post bro!~

No offense, as I enjoyed your post too, but there is a previous Today in Photos with much more extensive content.

Yes the other post is mine too, it's from yesterday, this is intended to be a daily post of the most catching photographies of the day's events.

Except not todays, as these range from the 5th till now haha ;)

Maybe so but if it wasn't posted here I would have missed that awesome spider. Now I'm gonna have to buy that thing and ride it around town! Yeeaah!

Well the date is when the picture was taken not published ;)

Great pics, I love the giant spider, it reminds me of Mutoid Waste.

That "replica ark" is so funny, I would think it would raise more questions than it answers, like;

How did one man build this in a reasonable amount of time?

Wouldn't it have needed to be bigger to house all the animals in the world?

How did all the animals in the world get to Israel; especially the ones that can't fly and swim?

How did he keep the predators away from the prey?

What did the predators eat?

And so on....
