Noah's Ark found?

Nursedan said:
Alright, fine. I guess there's no possibility that this could be Noah's Ark. None whatsoever. Case closed.

I choose to make up my mind after compelling evidence is shown, not before. Maybe I don't fully understand the concept, then, of skepticism.

Nursedan, I think you are misinterpreting the source of the skeptical reaction here. The technical and logistic nightmare that is Noah's Ark has been discussed and picked apart ad nauseaum over the years and many of the posters on this thread have looked at reams of evidence concerning the Ark, as well as many claims and counter claims that paint a sharp picture of the impossibility of this fable.

No one is dismissing this out of hand - there is a long background of discussion concerning the Ark.

Almost all reasonable people would react with instant skepticism if someone walked up to them and said that, say, they had proof that the Holocaust didn't happen. Claims of finding Noah's Ark are like that to the people who have studied the story.
 
You so-called "logical" people are starting to irritate me with all this "science" rubbish. Don't you know that God works in mysterious ways? It is easily within his awesome power to adjust the formula for relativity on a whim, say to make energy equal mass times crocoduck squared inside a vacuum cleaner. This would make it entirely possible for Noah's poorly designed vessel to float as well as work around all the other details that would prevent it from working in a Godless world. And all this talk about marsupials and evolution is just plain bunk. If his son, Jesus, could turn a few fish and loaves of bread into enough food for thousands, then surely God can take a single species and turn it into thousands.

Further, while it may make more sense to YOU that he could have simply struck down all the humans and left the other animals alone, but that is BORING. Maybe the old Pagan gods operated that way, but not our one true God, he's got style. If he didn't do things backwards and confusing, then who would notice? The Bible's authors would have nothing interesting to write about, and nobody would sign on for Christianity.

So stop thinking independantly and get busy praying for salvation from your wicked, evidence-seeking ways, you nitpicking naysayers!

Have they got any arks there? Or any 12,000 foot snow-capped mountains someone has missed seeing?;)

Anyway, if the ark did run aground there, the reverse situation holds true for the English hedgehog - how did it get from rural south-eastern Australia all the way to the UK without a trace of it being found in Ararat or anywhere between?


Oh yeah. Lifeboats. Someone did say! :p

The dispersal of the animals from the ark to the four corners of the earth (it had four corners back then, of course) has such an obvious explanation that it should hardly need expounding: Pangaea.

I would think that an Australian, of all people, would understand that. How else do you explain the presence of English speaking people on your continent? Did they walk across the sea? The marsupials and the hedgehog were settled down as neighbors, just as the Australian and English did. Then they drifted.

The period of time between the landing of the ark and reliable historical records must have been a really amazing time to be alive. Not only were animals evolving before your very eyes, the continents were drifting so fast you could see it happen. A unicorn rancher in Atlantis goes to bed one night only to wake up the next day and find himself herding yaks in a Tibetan monastery. Such times!

So now the alleged flood and Noah's ark happened millions of years ago:rolleyes:

It seems to me that any wooden artifact found at altitude on Ararat is trumpeted as "a piece of Noah's Ark!!!1111!!eleventy!!!!". Good for the tourist trade I suppose.

Any geological formation you don't understand is also an Ark.

The search for Noah's Ark is like the search for the Holy Grail.

I still wonder how many unborn children did God murder in the flood?

All of them would have died. If the point was to flush the whole bloody lot of humans, save Noah and family, being unborn or not is a trivial concern.

All is forgiven

really though what a load of bullcrap. this is the same claim made in 2007 when no one paid any attention, its taken them three years to find a lab that would do carbon dating (alarm bells) and they have presented zero evidence that the wood they analysed came from anywhere significant

wiki even has this info


How do you spell H-O-A-X


gotta love the believers in this thread though
desperate much

When was the last time you saw a chichuaua crossed with a great Dane ?

How can you possibly doubt the impartiality of an organization named "Noah's Ark Ministries International ".:D



You're going to hell for that but I'll pray for you anyway.

(Oh lord make his fire hot and soon to come)

OOPS did I say that out loud.:)

This thread reminds me of something hilarious that happened when I was a kid.

My mom was standing near me and my sister, when she asked, "Did you hear about Noah's Ark?"

My sister, a blossoming Christian fundie, smirkingly replied, "They found it, didn't they?"

Mom and I looked at each other with a bemused glance, and my mom said, "No, it's going out of business."

Noah's Ark was a local store.

Actually Noah's Ark is really a Christian Cash Cow.

I disagree.

I dismiss this completely out of hand. Not because of any nonsense about the ark story (which it is) but because we've heard it all before. Every couple of years, there is another story about how some moron found the ark. The fact that someone else is coming along again to claim that no, this time we REALLY found the ark tells you about how legitimate those previous claims were.

I put claims that someone found the ark in the same bin as the end of the world dates. Just another idiot.

I have yet to been wrong.
