Evidence for Noah's ark found in 2026

What claims are being debunked in the OP, is it the bits of wood on Mount Ararat? I'd like to know if it's at least interesting before I click on it.

it's quite wide ranging. A lot on the ridiculous claims for the technology, which is self-evident even to someone with an education in biblical scholarship.
 
I can remember as a kid seeing the ark as a seemingly intact wreck thawing out of a glacier on a mountain. But the authorities chased out the TV camera for safety reasons or something and then crickets on that theory.

It was a TV special, early 80's or so but I cannot recall anything more.
I have been skimming over new ark findings to see if any intact wooden structures were ever included in them since. Or glaciers.

There have been none. I long concluded it was a dramatization or outright hoax.

It was probably based on the Turkish "find" - they've been using that for fundraising for literally decades.

This story is told for morons. As is the original story. If you believe the Noah's Ark story you're Dumb as ◊◊◊◊. Nothing in this story clears the bar as being real for anyone with an IQ over 60.

I went to a church school so the default position was that Christianity was real, the Bible was true etc, but even there no-one was expected to believe in Noah's Ark outside of the infant classes. Mind you their approach was just to not mention these things.

I too have some vague memories of a similar image from around the same time. It might have been from the 1976 "documentary" In Search of Noah's Ark. There was also an unrelated episode of In Search Of... in season 3 that first aired in February, 1979 that focused on Noah's Flood.

Unsophisticated iron age pastoralists who had a very small world view

Who is more scary. Someone who has to make a big flood.

Or Thanos who just snaps his fingers, which itself is a lot of effort.

Yeah the British Christian apologetics is quite different from the USA's apologetics - we don't attempt to explain, we all just agree to never speak of the problems...

My grandfather was a protestant pastor, and when faced with such in-your-face absurdities, was inclined to say that a ton of the stories, all written in the pre-enlightenment days, were allegorical, and we will likely never know how much of it was even intended to be read as literally factual. The beauty of Love thy Neighbor still held true though, and was time well spent for building a lifestyle around, and studying scripture was worthwhile if you could see the truths all mixed up in crude thinking.

There's definitely some nice messages for good people in there. Shame there's so much other stuff for people who aren't good people and choose to take that away instead.

Ok I'm hella scared of that.

That butt-chinned bitch couldn't even keep track of a freaking glove for half the franchise.

Given that Lake Mead is at 26% capacity you've missed peak Deluge.

ETA: After Skeptoid doing an article on it this fricking week, the 'Body in a Barrel' has just been identified.

I live in a small town in Western Washington close to Mount St Helen's. It has a population of about 2,200 people. There are 13 churches and a Creation Museum next to the Baptist Church. The museum has dioramas of the Ark and humans walking next to dinosaurs. They get visiting church groups and Christian schools taking field trips to the museum. They sell books that are published by Answers in Genesis and the Discovery
Institute.
