Video included.[/url] [quote][b]THE remains of Noah's Ark have been discovered 13,000ft up a Turkish mountain, it has been claimed.[/b] A group of Chinese and Turkish evangelical explorers say they have found wooden remains on Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey. They claim carbon dating proves the relics are 4,800 years old — around the same time the ark was said to be afloat. Yeung Wing-Cheung, from the Noah's Ark Ministries International research team, said: "It's not 100 per cent that it is Noah's Ark, but we think it is 99.9 per cent that this is it." He said the structure contained several compartments, some with wooden beams, that they believe were used to house animals. The group of evangelical archaeologists ruled out an established human settlement on the grounds none have ever been found above 11,000ft in the vicinity, Yeung said. Local Turkish officials will ask the central government in Ankara to apply for UNESCO World Heritage status so the site can be protected while a major archaeological dig is conducted.[/quote] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAF-gB37Azw[/media] :rolleyes: now to watch creationists say "PRAISE THE LORD"
Praise da lord
PRAISE THE LORD [sp]caps[/sp]
It's funny because people think a generic boat similar to the one described in a book written over 1,500 years ago somehow proves ALL of that ever happened and they will go back to useless prayer. :toot:
It's probably just an old house or monastery, and the damn Turks are hyping it to get tourists
Praise the lawd!
It was in the paper today.
Also, it's funny that christian fundamentalists believe in carbon dating when it helps their case but not when it's against them.
Praise the lord!
Praise the Lord!

the praise lord
Yep, it's facepunch. :v:

[QUOTE=Xane;21611223]Wow, none of you can respect other's faith huh.[/QUOTE] It's not faith, this is an attempt to get money. I'm christian myself, and this hurts my feelings
This ought to be interesting.
Haven't they claimed to have found that ark in several places all over the world?

[QUOTE=Xane;21611297]The conditions are the mountain are horrible. [/QUOTE] Okay? That still doesn't automatically rule out a civilization interacting with the boat. The article says that no civilization was present above 11,000ft. that means we have a civilization living in those conditions regularly.
[QUOTE=Xane;21611223]Wow, none of you can respect other's faith huh.[/QUOTE] But this isn't faith, this is "proof" or "evidence" It's a fucking boat on a hill.
[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;21611288]Haven't they claimed to have found that ark in several places all over the world?[/QUOTE] Most of the time it's in Turkey.
[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;21611288]Haven't they claimed to have found that ark in several places all over the world?[/QUOTE] Nah, they keep "finding" it on Mount Ararat. Tons of people have brought down pieces of wood, nothing ever comes of it.
