Noah's Ark Found!

Face facts, Cloud9, you were indoctrinated into your faith, and brainwashed in the extreme. Scientists are open-minded by virtue of the fact that they will believe to be true whatever proves to be true. You believe in the bible alone, irrespective of truth. That makes YOU the closed-minded one. And a delusional one at that

Not so. I have now come up with a new theory, since all others have led to dead ends, that the boat like shape discovered upon the mountains of Ararat is not the Ark itself, but a fossilized imprint of the Ark. I am still doing my research, though, and will have more information on this later.

It seems on this site that they have many implications that they are inconclusive about the Ark site, saying that "a complete excavation will need to be made before any doubts can be confirmed."

I still think it's just a fossilized imprint of Noah's Ark, by the way.

It's utterly amazing how you can throw logic and reasoning to the wind to try to keep your faith, rather than conceding that it's simply a rock formation or something else, much like it wasn't a face on Mars...

Edit: Fixed some weird word usage since I just got back from the pub

I have this theory about coffee. Every job I have ever had, they have a coffee machine and almost everyone drinks it in the morning and throughout the day. When you show up for work on your first day, they offer you a cup of coffee. So you drink it. The next day you have another. This goes on for awhile, and before you know it, you are only going to work for the coffee. You are now addicted and you can't quit your job even if you want to and ten years of your life have slipped by. Can someone investigate this for me?

Am I in the wrong thread?

If I thought you were remotely serious I would point out that fossilization takes far longer than a few thousand years.

Ah, yes, Ron Wyatt.

I've seen his site before. I remember being amused by the lab results which "proved" that there were "metal oxides" in the rock. Wyatt even posted pictures of the assay slips, revealing large concentrations of silicon and aluminum oxides: apparently unaware that this is what rocks are normally made of!

As we mentioned earlier, Ron is a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, one of 23,000 in the U.S. Since 1984, however, he has had little time to practice his profession.

I suspect he tests his anaesthetics on himself. That could explain a lot.

The "second site" claim is a standard creationist ploy to attempt to hang on to another exploded claim. The same thing happened with "Moab Man". Creationists claimed that human bones had been found in an impossibly advanced stage of fossilization, completely transformed into green malachite and buried fifty feet down in solid sandstone. They were actually normal bones (carbon-dated to a few centuries old) stained green by copper salts and buried fifteen feet deep in sand. After these facts became common knowledge, creationists started talking about a second find nearby. These bones allegedly ARE composed of solid malachite, but were recovered and stored by faithful creationists who won't let those nasty heathen scientists examine the holy relics this time.

Details, details!

Don't you know that God could have made it fossilize faster by snaping His fingers?

Is it any surprise to anyone that the name, Asher, is a biblical name?

And Leah's maid Zilpah bore Jacob a second son. Then Leah said, "I am happy, for the daughters will call me blessed." So she called his name Asher.--Genesis 30:12-13

Well, well, well. . .

[Asher]

The Jews named a star after my first real name.

And yeah, I know about the roots of the name. It's what my parents initially wanted to give me as a middle name (they're Protestant -- if that matters), but ended up settling on a different "more common" name that I don't like. And since my first name is so popular here, my closefriends started calling me Asher and it's stuck with a lot of people ever since. And I kinda like it.

Well, as far as I'm concerned about the discovery of Noah's Ark found by Ron Wyatt is that it probably is Noah's Ark. I take back when I said that it might be an imprint of Noah's Ark, though this is still a possibility. Here is why:

Like I've heard you all say before, and I feel it is true, anyone can put whatever the heck they want on their website, as well as in a book, magazine, video, etc.

Between the opinions of people that say Ron Wyatt's discovery is Noah's Ark and those that deny it contradict each other. The information that I found in both opinions doesn't add up; in that it is entirely different and unique from each other. Therefore, this would come to an inconclusive result. I have found evidence of opinions concerning the other discoveries of Ron Wyatt that also contradict each other.

Now the Bible does say that most people will be decieved by Satan and refuse to acknowledge the truth in the Bible. So in effect most will refuse to acknowledge the discovery of Biblical artifacts or evidence of truth in the Bible. Even those who are Christian may refuse to acknowledge such discoveries so as to protect the element of faith in religion, which is so important.

So my final judgement is that it is inconclusive wether or not Ron Wyatt has discovered Noah's Ark. Only someone who goes to the Noah's Ark site themselves to see what is there and is honest about it can really know the truth about it. But I strongly lean toward the belief that it is Noah's Ark because most people seem to say that it isn't and Satan will decieve most people.

Case closed.

Good, now that it's settled this thread can be closed.

I agree.

Don't even go there. Have I ever told you to stop believing in your Bible. No. You make that choice yourself.

Sumerian myth, eh? Not so. Wait for my response.
