You didn't really fully read your own link, did you? Even though the commentor is qualified,
he does not say, anywhere, that this
was or
is The Ark. Only that it, along with a nearby similar cave, with similar artifacts in it, is a valid
archeological site.
There's no mention of any "boat", only by the Noah's Ark Hoax-meisters
(the discredited NAMIâ„¢), who your link's expert also notes did
not use credible techniques during their single
one-day visit to this site two years ago. To make such a claim (that they absolutely found Noah's Ark!!) after only a few hours on site? During a raging snowstorm (by their own admission?), using
incorrect archeological techniques,
and absent
any credible scientists?
WT-Heck? You find
that believable?
OK Then: go for it, my friend. It's
your credibility whose neck is on the line.
Otherwise, until somone properly and solidly
verifies that this was, indeed, a beached
boat, its only a local ancient cave dwelling site complete with bowls, hides and old tools.
Woo-Hoo, huh? So far, that's all your article says.
But...even if it
is a boat (
), then you'd next have to
PROVE that it was also the famed Noah's Ark. BTW, the Turks also claim
they already have Noah's Ark, with an attendant amusement park and certified artifact (i.e.: tourisata) gift shop! Now c'mon! How can you argue with THAT? I'm just sayin...
Don't go reading into it all,
Vinylly, even though you may desperately want to. All the
other requirements of a massive globally inundating flood just don't fit. Can't and didn't happen. Not to mention, and fully realizing, that such a last-ditch survival yacht would have to have carried, with food, water and waste disposal, for 18 months, about 100M species (right now we know there's
at least 15M species that we've ID'd so far!), times about 20 of each, plus in both sexes where necessary, to ensure even a
possibility of ecological survival, but up on a frozen mountain? An Amazonian parrot? You must be joking, right?
(It just gets funnier and funnier, don't it guys? Honestly: the utter gullibility of some folks...).
Only to then return the unlucky passengers to a rotting, stinking, dead planet, at the 13,000 foot level, but before all the waters had subsided? So for the most part, the earth would have still been near-completely inundated with, essentially, co-mixed, salinated sewage water (what with all those now-dead plant and animal organisms floating around, all bloated and such...!!!). Nice! Heavenly!
Yuppers: So VERY believable!
Hint: do a search here on C-D and then go back and read
all the prior heated threads on this one. All the conflicting info is well laid out.
rifleman o'fficially OUT!
