hunting for Noah's Ark

"Excursion continues to find Noah's Ark in Turkey"
Randall Price, head of the Center for Judaic Studies at Liberty University,
is hunting for Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat.
I wonder whether he has ever read the Bible, which says that Noah's
Ark landed somewhere else: In the mountains of Ararat. Mount
Ararat acquired that name long after the Bible was written.

And Nashty-poo whinges about the study of evolution being a waste of

I guess the nice thing for this particular con job is they'll never
find it, so they can keep conning people -- "We *almost* found it this
time!"
IAAH
They keep adding to the list of places where it is
not - so that's something, I suppose.

Are they looking for the Nina or the Pinta. Of course, the Santa Maria
wouldn't have been built that early. Wasn't the Pinta the one with the
moon pool?

Phooey! If a real ark existed, it would have been the only source of
lumber in the postdiluvian world. Noah and family would have taken it
apart for all its possible uses.

No, that is part of the con. They keep going back to the same
mountain that they never found anything before. Like Tom says the
Bible only says the "mountains of ararat" and the mountain that they
keep going to didn't have that name when the Bible was written. Mount
Ararat is also igneous rock and show no sign of being under a world
wide flood that deposited miles of sediment in other places.

That's because they're looking in the wrong places. Don't let on, but the damn
thing's parked out behind the Ararat Bar and Grill in north Spokane. :-)

Would be great if the hypothetical Ark could be found. That would puit an
end to the endless claims about all the flora and fauna preserved on that
tiny vessel.

Possibly he is still looking for Noah's bronze age power drill (yes, he
actually claimed that Noah and his sons were able to build the ark, because
they had power tools).

Yep. That is what the bible says. The "mountains of ararat" could
even include the foothills

In the Great Depression they tore up all the railroad tracks they used in
the 1920s for logging around here so they could use the ties for firewood
or what-have-you, so I imagine a big fat box made of gopher wood at the
timberline on Mt Ararat would have been piece-parted out the same way
long ago.

Actually, the excuses have been "We found it, topok photographs,
and then lost the film. We need more money to go back and take
more pictures."

Now I have the "Hooray for Captain Spaulding" song stuck in my head.

Cf: Enough pieces of the True Cross to build an Ark.
