Human Ingenuity
By Mark Flippo
SAMPAN
(Chinese; pinyin: sam-pán) is a relatively flat bottomed Chinese wooden boat. Some sampans include a small shelter on board, and may be used as a permanent habitation on inland waters. Sampans are generally used for transportation in coastal areas or rivers, and are often used as traditional fishing boats. It is unusual for a sampan to sail far from land as they do not have the means to survive rough weather. Sampans are still in use by rural residents of Southeast Asia, particularly Malaysia, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Burma (Myanmar) and Vietnam.
JUNK
A junk is an ancient Chinese sailing ship design that is still in use today. Junks were developed during the Song Dynasty (960–1279) and were used as seagoing vessels as early as the 2nd century CE. They evolved in the later dynasties, and were used throughout Asia for extensive ocean voyages.
When humans have a need we make something that works for us to fulfill that need! The one need we always have is for a higher power to help us. That was placed in our hearts when Adam and Eve were created! Men have worshiped many things in order to try and fill that void. We have a Bible that explains to all who will listen and read how to fill the void. I hope you will seek Him for Full Truth and not be satisfied with anything less! We all have a lot to learn about our
Heavenly Father the Creator of all things!
