The minister and congregation of Southern Cross Evangelical Church, Portslade, have made a feasibility study of the biblical story of Noah's Ark and have shown there would have been room for all the animals.

For centuries people have swallowed the claims of critics and sceptics that nearly the whole of the Old Testament is not historical but full of legends and fairy tales.

Here is a congregation that has discovered otherwise.

If the accuracy of the Bible can be shown over such a comparatively small detail, how about the major truths of the Bible, such as the origin of sin and evil and the possibility of redemption, even for the very worst who truly repent?
