Has Noah's Ark really been discovered?

[FreezBee]

Well, I don't know much about creationist geology, but by a real geologist's perspective it doesn't make any sense. The likelihood of an eruption large enough to break the boat apart and disperse it as shown, but not in fact completely destroy it, makes no sense to me. Ararat is a stratovolcano, and if it was still active historically (well, actually it probably is) you wouldn't have any evidence left of your boat. Even if there was no lava, there would almost certainly be mulititudes of ash, pyroclastic flows, lahars... In short, the ark, if it is there is some visible form, would have had to have been deposited after Ararat's last eruption, because otherwise it would most certainly be buried under tens or hundreds of feet of basalt and rhyolite and tuff.

Thank you It's just, what I thought.

Are you saying that you actually see a

"A strange structure with human-like face and bull-like horns" in that photo? All I see is a layer of sediment covered in ice. OH no wait, now I see it. That is just a trick of lighting, you wouldn't see it from another angle. Can you honestly tell me you've never seen a human face in a jumble of rocks before?

Yes, it's a bit like "the face on Mars" - tricks of light and our tendency to see meaningfull patterns all over the place.

And anyways why would the supposedly pious Noah have a pagan image on his boat?

Oh, It's not Noah, but the unspeakable that tries to prevent us from discovering the ark, don't you think?

Actually, I still don't see it I lived near NH for a while, so I'm used to seeing men in rocks.

Thanks for the link

It's interesting, but a bit confusing, I'm afraid. The ark is supposed to have been split into pieces by the 1842 eruption of Mt. Ararat, but the Kurdish mounteneer Parasut's mother's uncle is supposed to have been inside the ark, while it was still intact! Not impossible, but ....

Also we are told of Ron Eyatt's findings of stone anchors. Would the ark have had anchors? Where was it supposed to have moored?

I'm afraid it all sounds to me as a collection of stories that don't really fit together, but are supposed to impress by their number

Hello:

Although I personally question the finds and research of Ron Wyatt, my understanding of the anchors is different than a modern anchor. These anchors were suspended from ropes into the water and were not to grab the "bottom" to hold the ark to the bottom of the sea, rather they were to help stabilize the ark from the pitching, yawing and rolling motion of a stormy sea. Much like a ship might use a "sea anchor" or "drogue" to keep it pointed into the wind in a storm.

Thank you,

Dear FreezBee:

You are certainly welcome. The explanation is likely true, but cannot be entirely proven. There are places in modern Turkey that have peculiarly shaped stones that were later carved with crosses in them. Models of the ark have been made and tested in special facilities to test boat designs. These tests seemed to show (which was the point) that this design was stable with the "anchors" and would likely survive stormy seas.

Sincerely,

CovenantRay

They did freeze shots with highlights on the beams and staircases. The beam I wasn't too sure because it was quite dark, but it was quite clear through the ice about the staircase.

It was shown in America, but not publicly I think. My brother saw it with his Chinese community church in L.A. It was shown basically to the Chinese Christian communities around the world. It brings me to a point...why do Americans have to know everything? *presses down further nationalist sentiments *

Yeah.

Dragons87,
is Chinese community church los angeles the name of the church your brother attends? Is there a website?

 

[ez3729]

found a site that carries the documentary. let me know if you need the link.


im not going to earthlink it. moderators, brethren, is this okey what im doing here?

Well I am going to "earthlink" it. The site I was given is www.yesasia.com -- a reputable scholarly research establishment.

(now, can I get my tongue any further into my cheek?)

uh oh...

 

[jaydenraine]

Yeah, that giant ship made of wood that is split in two on Mount Arat is just a figment of my imagination, the satellites' too. Oh and all the ancients who went to see it over the past 1000 years.

Seeya and check out my free books like 101 Arguments Against Christianity.
Look in my profile.

Lol. Don't be all aggravated. People waste money on scammier things.

Are you sure that there are only 101 arguments against Christianity? Man, they have to do better than that.

I highly doubt it's a figment of your bank account.

Oh and all the ancients who went to see it over the past 1000 years.

Now they probably are figments of your imagination.

Lol. Don't be all aggravated. People waste money on scammier things

Indeed.

 

[Nazaroo]

LOL!
whose crying now?
