    We've found Noah's Ark!

    'We've found Noah's Ark!'... claim evangelical explorers on mission to snow-capped Ararat (but British scientists say 'show us your evidence')

    As believers in the literal truth of the Bible, they knew it was there.
    Even so, the explorers who say they found seven large wooden compartments beneath snow and volcanic debris near the peak of Mount Ararat can be forgiven their excitement.
    'It's not 100 per cent that it is Noah's Ark, but we think it is 99.9 per cent that this is it,' said Yeung Wing-cheung, a filmmaker working with the 15-strong team of fundamentalist Christians exploring the Turkish mountain.

    This picture released by the evangelical group claims to show one of the explorers examining part of a structure which they claim might prove the existence of Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat. There are no external images of the site and the Hong Kong-based group refuse to say precisely where they made their discovery until the Turkish government designate it an archaeological site

    Curious to how this goes and what it turns out to be (Noah's Ark or not)

    Edit: Guessing there is a lot of red tape to go through before it is able to be designated as an archaeological site

    I thought they found Noah's Ark already? I remember a counselor at my Youth Group showing us a video or some shit back in the 90s.

    I remember the same and I'm pretty sure they went through this same process. Said it was 99.9% accurate that it was Noah's Arc...good thing they are 100% accurate in their minds about God..see how that's working out for them.

    We found a bunch of wood
    Yerp. Sounds about right. Would be nice if they were right, but given the location and the fact that if one part if it was frozen the rest of it should also be there (and that carbon dating, which they will probably forego, would give them much more info) I'm going to say BULLSHIT.

    I thought they found that damn thing in the arctic like 10 years ago, lol. Apparently they had different Judgment Day cruise lines to choose from if you were one of the two animals.

    Like any other sensible person. I'll believe it when they give scientific proof.

    This is probably the 30th "We found Noah's Ark at Ararat" discovery news I've heard so far, next.

    They will prove it when they find a pair of frozen, preserved dinosaurs.

    I remember back in my Christian days there was a sort of book I was given by my ultra-Christian aunt that had all these arguments about how various old testament stories were scientifically proven, and even then I thought they were bullshit.

    What a load of rubbish.

    Even if it IS Noah's Ark, what's the big deal?

    I mean I don't have such a hard time believing a crazy lunatic once created a big boat to put animals on it.
    If there even was any animals on it to begin with.

    Also this, 100 times over. Funny how a wooden boat that SHOULD be slightly larger than the Titanic is so hard to find
