Henry's Ark is a petting zoo in Kentucky? Besides the precise size and length of the ship, the fact that it rests in the Mountains of Ararat, among other things, the wood had no rings:
Note:
The "deck timber" having been determined to contain organic Carbon, which means that it was once living, was found to have a unique characteristic in that It displayed no growth rings.
Growth rings in trees and other plants are caused by a variation in the water supply to the plant. Annual rings occur when the temperature drops and the sap in the tree fails to rise. The leaves of the deciduous trees turn color and die, soon dropping off. In the spring, the warmth releases the tree from its state of "hibernation" and the sap begins to flow again. Even though there may be water in the ground, when the temperature drops, the tree does not continue its cycle until it is again spring. Therefore, a ring results when the growth is temporarily halted and begins when spring arrives.
In order to understand why the pre-flood wood showed no growth rings one needs only to consult the Bible. It informs us that before the flood it did not rain; therefore there were not wet and dry seasons. Growth was at a constant rate.

Genesis2:5 "And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD GOD HAD NOT CAUSED IT TO RAIN UPON THE EARTH, and there was not a man to till the ground. 6 But THERE WENT UP A MIST FROM THE EARTH, AND WATERED THE WHOLE FACE OF THE GROUND."
Note:
Scientific study confirms the absence of growth rings in plants from what they label the "Carboniferous period"
"There was, as we have already said, secondary bark and wood, similar to that of modern trees but lacking the spring and winter rings which correspond to seasonal alternation of moisture and dryness. This is a further proof that the Carboniferous climate was fairly uniform." (Larousse Encyclopedia of the Earth, p. 369.)

Even many Christians are unaware of the evidence, thus, yes, again.

So many Arks did Noah make, anyway?
I hate to say this as a Christian, but the wood used to built the ark would have turned to dust long ago. But if it helps people to believe in it, then I guess I have nothing against it.

These are Biblical Scholars not scientists. There is a difference between the two.
You don't think they would consult someone that would know before they spent all of the necessary resources? That seems far fetched.
The coldness of the mountains may have preserved the wood or maybe God decided to preserve it. With God, anything is possible.

There are some Biblical Scholars and people out there that are trying to make something out of nothing. Why would it matter if there was evidence found or not? Faith is all God requires.

I dont know whether it is or not... it is interesting though. It does make me laugh how people accept the miracles of the bible - and then place the limitations of humans knowledge to the evidence for your belief.

True.
No, I mean it could be any ship. Just because it's the same dimensions doesn't mean it's Noah's.
As a side, the Carboniferous period occured 359.2 – 299 million years ago. Are Creationists now drawing on the fossil record to prove their case?

It's the same one as the last Noah's ark thread, the one we started calling the banana boat because it looks like a banana from the air.
Here's another less boaty looking shot;

It had more than one level!
