Noah's Ark

I watched a segment on Good Morning America this morning regarding a team of archeologists that claim to have found the remnants of Noah's ark.

They showed them digging up huge pieces of what looked like rock. But when they started picking at it and dusting it off....it was wood. And it is in Northern Iran.....in the mountains. ( Mt. Arrarat) (sp?) The exact place where the Bible says the ark came to rest.

There have been people that have claimed to have found the ark before, but none have provided physical proof.

They have yet to do any type of carbon dating or what have you....but I thought this was VERY interesting.

Wouldn't that be wonderful if it turns out to really be the ark? smile.gif

This is just the initial discovery.....they haven't even begun to excavate the entire site. No telling what else they will dig up under all that wood. smile.gifsmile.gifsmile.gif

I will try to find a link to this story but so far they don't have it on their website.

Re: Noah\'s Ark

I humbly submit that it does not matter how much proof you find of God’s existence people will still turn away. Remember the Hebrews in Genesis who where being delivered from Egypt? They actually saw the red sea part, they ate the manna from heaven, they saw water spring from a rock, yet in the end they where not permitted to enter the Promised Land. They to turned away from God. This is God’s gift to us, a choice. He did not have to put the forbidden tree in the garden with Adam, but He did. God does not want to extort us into loving him. He wants us to choose Him.

Re: Noah\'s Ark

I saw that segment on Good Morning America. It would certainly be a great find if it was the ark. If I remember right they even said that the measurements are consistent with what God's instructions to Noah were. I certainly don't need proof that the Bible is true but would this not be just awesome.

Re: Noah\'s Ark

It could very well be the ark. Think about how awesome it would be if it was for sure. I don't get it. His Word is preached to them and there are so many things that witness and "testify" if you will, God's Glory, but they are too dull-witted to realize (or acknowledge) it. Like it says in the Bible. He has set aside some as chaff in the fire and the rest to be stored in His barn.

Re: Noah\'s Ark

While they have supposedly found what they thought was the ark before, I strongly feel that this would be awesome if they could use technology to prove that this find is in fact the ark. This is a very intersting topic and to be able to prove once and for all just how high the waters rose would be great.

I may catch some flack from some members in here for stating my opinion, I do feel as though the great flood did take place and that there was an ark, I do not however believe that every existing form of life not on that ark perished in those floods, as some take out of their translations from the Bible.

Funny thing is awhile back when there was a discussion on evolution vs. religion a lot of this is the same technology that the ones rooting for religion were saying wasnt reliable and couldnt be trusted for aging fossils and such.Wonder how much the tune will change if theres anything to this Ark finding and they have to rely on these same methods for aging the wood and such.

That just made me laugh, I just dont beleive that there would be much to find, it was made if wood, it must of rotted out and disinegrated (sp) by this point. just my opinion.

Horst,

Excellent point. People will always find a way to validate what they believe is true, regardless if it is contradictory.
