There's never to my mind been an expedition to find it where they haven't at some point gone "We think we've found it"

In the end though it always turns out to be a bit of toast, or a cane toad, or Martha Stewart which they mistook for a 4000 year old floating petting zoo.

Is there any greater love/hate relationship than a the religious and carbon dating? They love to quote carbon dating statistics as evidence so long as it doesn't disrupt their fantasy, anything outside of that and it's just another unreliable scientific conspiracy.

More cause for celebration would be the headline "Texas explorer finds intelligent life. In Texas."

Obviously with apologies to rationalists and members of the forum who reside there.

How many Noah's Arks are there now?

I knew it was out there somewhere. I just wonder why this isn't making world headlines?

Did they reveal the gps coordinates yet?
Good luck getting it peer reviewed :tehe:

Anyone remember the one where they saw it on satellite images, but when they got there it was a crater like area viewed from the side which made it look boat shaped... bwahahaha I nearly laughed my fucking eye out!

Seems like Mount Ararat was a regular little marina back in the good old Biblical days, when boats flew.

Every time one of these assholes finds an old piece of wood, it's like something out of Life of Brian

"The Ark! The Ark! Behold the Ark!"
"Er, isn't that just a piece of wood, Dave?"
"Fool! Can't you see? It's a sign from the Lord!"
"Still looks like just a piece of wood to me..."
"Shut up! Just shut up! Wendy! Call Fox News. Tell 'em we found it!"

Another hoax FFS

Dont these people ever give up. I wonder how much it cost to get that wood up the mountain.

A few primitive photo's and a lump of wood. That is real scientific evidence.

Back in the 70's, it was much more convenient for these "Christian Archeologists" because the political situation prevented the organization of expeditions to the region. This allowed them to assure believers that the only reason the ark remained hidden was because Satan and his communist henchmen were preventing its discovery.

They should make a shot drinking game out of Noah's Arks claims.

I'd be impressed if they found not only the wood but the huge cesspit of the pile of poop that accumulated from 16,000 animals over a year of eating rotting vegetation, it would have caused a fantastic oasis of very fertile land just the size of the boat.

You mean a massive pile of shit? I think that's exactly what we have here.

...and the other four arks needed to actually perform the feat and to freight adequate food supplies...

....and the onboard refrigeration systems and inter-Ark offshore lifting and loading facilities....

Mount Ararat - a veritable arking lot...
