I asked 2 questions the first was about who made the ark and I included the following verses
Deuteronomy 10:1-3
At that time the LORD said unto me [Moses], Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood. ... And I made an ark of shittim wood....

Exodus 37:1
And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood

I got no answers, while I asked the 2nd which was the same question but without the bible verses and the answers were many and varied.
So I beleive I have proof that christians do not know what they are talking about. I also know that you will report this which is more proof that the truth hurts.

I'm not quite sure what your question is. Do you mean is this proof of a contradiction in the Bible? No, it isn't. The book of Deuteronomy is Moses' recalling the events in his life before he died. He is referring to Exodus 25:10-22. What happened was God directed Moses to make the Ark.
If I said to you that George W Bush fought Saddam Hussein and won, you could believe it was something from the wrestling, e.g. WWF or whatever it's called, but it's more likely you would interpret what I said to mean GWB sent an army to fight Saddam's army.
In the same way, God didn't expect Moses to personally build the Ark, he expected Moses to arrange for someone to do it, this is what the Ex 37 piece you mention is.
My translation uses the word Acacia wood if you weren't sure what sort of wood was being referred to.
