"And there will be strange events in the skies--signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And down here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. The courage of many people will falter because of the fearful fate they see coming upon the earth, because the stability of the very heavens will be broken up. Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with power and great glory. So when all these things begin to happen, stand straight and look up, for your salvation is near!" --Luke 21:25-28
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the call of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, all the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and remain with him forever. --1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 -
IMO, it won't add much validity that isn't already there. Then again, I view the Old Testament as Hebrew history, which was orally passed down (cue jokesOriginally posted by Japher
Yeah, but I think Catholics already confuse history with the theology and uses one to write the other. If they find the ark it would be strange, a bunch of Jews and bible thumpers saying I told you sold, and will add an increase boost to the validity of their texts, historical or theological.
) for generations, intertwined with the same type of mythology every other culture at the time created to explain the world around them. Without the benefit of millenia of technology, philosophy and science, sometimes "God did it" was not just the most satisfying, but the only possible answer to be given. Throw in a few fortuitous happenings that can be pointed to as God's will, and boom, you've got a full fledged religion.

Yep. Non-believing skeptics will always try to twist the truth when it comes to something like this. And then their lies get out into the media. And the media has such a powerful influence on some that non-believers end up taking such lies as "fact."
Pretty pathetic, eh Slowwhand?
Wow, talk about living in a bizarro "reality."
Whatever floats you boat, man.

I fail to see what a huge boat on the top of mount Ararat has to do with God. Did the discovery of ancient Troy make people believe in Zeus, Hera, Apollon and the rest of the ancient gods? I do not think so...Comment

I have to admit this evidence does indeed look promising:

It looks like there's a giant turtle on Mount Ararat.
Could it be....Mothra perhaps?

Stop and think for a moment what the word "media" covers. TV, Radio, Newpapers, Magazines, etc.
Now back up 1000 yrs. What is left? A few books, cared for by a precious few people who can actually read & write, and what the local preacher tells you in his sermon.
The current news media has many faults, but I'll take it over that any day of the week (and twice on Sundays ).

Regardless, I don't rely on the media for the whole story, and in matters like this I rely on the only reliable source - scientific investigation.
But where are those examples I asked for? I can give you oodles of examples of believers blatantly lying to support their beliefs. I want to know which non-believers are manipulating the media and in what way. Do tell, so we know exactly where you're coming from.Tutto nel mondo è burlaComment

Ah ha! This is what I predicted your response would be! It just so natural for an atheist to give such simple explanations for anything.Originally posted by Boris Godunov

Notice that these anomalies are not the same color as the natural rocks in the photo. The anomalies are brown. The natural rocks are all dark blue or black.HAVE A DAY.
