    This question was recently brought to my attention by the current excavations being conducted in Turkey on the location of Noah's Ark, is there any current news on this subject?

      I have photos that prove Noah's ark was real and is being covered up by the Turkish government.

      Contact me through my profile page and offer a reasonable price for this priceless set of exclusive photos.

      Recently "bought to your attention" how exactly?

            We are talking of Evidence of Biblical History in Modern Time, are we not?

            My son mentioned to me last night that pieces of Noah's Ark had been found on a mountaintop.  That is all he said, we never finished the conversation.

            The Dead Sea Scrolls that have been found are all the evidence I need.

    I've been aware of the story of the government "cover up" of Noah's Ark since the 70s, seen books, photos etc. At this point, even if it's "proven" it won't be "proven". By that I mean that at best there could be evidence of a "boat like" structure.  Those who believe will say, "See? Proof!" and those who don't will say, "It could be anything!"

    It is interesting, but like all "evidence" it is open to interpretation.

    I should have considered my wording, sorry, I recently recieved a blog request on this subject and came across Robert Carnuke’s Dec. 2008 video. There have been more recent reports of Biblical history Chuck Holton’s report from last month on Paul’s shipwreck on Malta.

  4. BDazzler profile image78
    BDazzlerposted 14 years ago

    Let me post a completely hypothetical situation to illustrate my point:

    Suppose a previously uknown Viking/Rus chief who had converted to Greek Orhtodoxy decided to build a big hall on top of that Mountain in say, the mid 800s. 

    Suppose he was inspired by the legend/story of Noah, and used his knowledge of naval architcture and the stories from his priest/advisor to build a big house that looked like a boat.

    It has features that make it look like a boat, and a zoo.

    The glacier and other natural disasters move in, cover the big building up, the chief and his people move on, get wiped out in some forgotten battle and nobody even knows the building is there.

    A thousand years later, with legends of Noah's ark mixed with stories of the building people dig up logs and "evidence"  without understanding it, because everything about this hypothetical chief has been forgotten.

    Because no other evidence of this paritcular hypothetical viking chief exists, the people of modern times never even consider that he built this big building to look like a boat... but there is money to be made by going to churches and speaking to "prove" something.  So, that's the story they tell.

    The existance/non-existance of Noah is completely irrelavent in this situation.

    All the "evidence" shows is a bunch of wood and nobody remembers that viking.

    For it's own reasons, the Turkish and Soviet goverments don't want people poking around in rural areas, they could be plotting military action for all they know, so they are accused of "cover ups".

    Perfectly reasonable, with everybody putting their own spin on things, many without realizing it.

    Hypothesis aside, I hate to use a cliché, proof is in the pudding.

    The legend of Noah’s Ark isn’t just resigned to Christianity and the church, the stories of Noah and the great flood are recorded in many legends including The Epic of Gilgamesh, Matsya in the Puranas and Deucalion in Greek Mythology.

    It’s just as easy to believe the story of Noah is the original.

    I am getting completly off topic here. I was asking about any other news.

    There were some photos released a few years ago saying that they were photos of the Ark. Nothing conclusive at all about them. It seems I recall Ron Wyatt stating that he found Noah's Ark and the photos may have been his to begin with.

    As I said, nothing conclusive about them. Photos are easily doctored to look like something they are not.

              In general, based on my observations of your comments to others, you and I would be unable to agree on items considered axiomatic, therefore, it is logically impossible for us to come to the same conclusion. 

              I will simply say that I asked these very questions decades ago, did my own research and have come to my own conclusions. The issue is settled in my mind for reasons I deem reasonable and rational.

              If you have come to other conclusions, for your own reasons, so be it.  I feel no compelling need to persuade you that my point of view is correct.

              I will say, because I am enjoying this discussion, that the evidence presented in previous posts on this thread show pretty clearly that something man-made was there and that some people believed it to be be Noah's ark (thus my joke about the viking chief).

              Even though I believe in the ark, I do not believe that the evidence presented is conclusive enough to say that that spot is the resting place of Noah's ark, only that "something" was there at one time, and some people have thought it was the ark.

                  The short version:  I believe your numbers are based on a flawed use of modern taxonomy.  I also believe that modern Christianity's most popular interpretation of the events in Genesis 6+ is also flawed. 

                  I also believe certain boundary conditions have been ignored by both camps.

                  In short, I believe everyone is wrong in their interpretations, the "scientists" are wrong about what the data means and the "theists" are wrong about what the scripture means ... So, everyone is wrong! Except me of course wink ... but I'm probably wrong about that tongue.

                    Could you please provide the correct taxonomy and the sources?



                    I had a JW bang on the door of my house a few months back who tried to convince me of the six major flaws (he called them lies) of Christianity. It was like Mother Goose trying to convince me not to believe in Aesop's fables.

                    However, feel free to elaborate if you think it supports your case.



                    What boundary conditions?



                    It's not easy being right about anything when you haven't a shred of evidence to present and all there is are countless interpretations of ancient texts to go on.

    Side stepping the whole Noah's ark thing, you know I have asked this question of myself a thousand times. 

    And..., in my honest opinion I cannot come up with, nor think of one "biblical" inspired bit of history.  It does not exists.  Which makes me wonder, how was it that so much was accomplished before man could record the moments.  And, why nothing has happened since the alphabet was invented.

    It truly brings me pause in my faith sometimes.

            Why?  It is quite simple really.  I do not give the devil that much credit over my time.  See, I'm more about praising God's messages rather than giving the devil praises, for creating the awesomeness of weather changes, plate tectonics, or the visual hues of sunsets. But that is just me.  I do not fear what God has to offer, anymore than I believe that the devil is compatible of creating rain.

    I would think that the ancient word that "the whole earth" was translated from should be reexamined. Especially when in reference to this story.
      When King Cyrus wrote, that God had given him all the kingdoms of the whole earth and has CHARGED him to build him an house in Jerusalem .. This same word was translater "Whole earth". In that reference it pertained to the region around the Medetarian.
        Theist and Atheist both like to pick and choose when to take the translation of words and statements as being literal or not, depending upon how it suports their arguement.
         There are similar stories to the biblical flood that comes from around the world.
        Instead of the story being borrowed can't this similar event have happened all over the world.
         I don't know but that is the way in which I have always understood it.

    I'm curious how this forum thread, became stagnate on Noah's Ark.

    Just goes to show you, that there is no evidence to that pertaining to a momentous, and biblical modern day event.

    It conversations like these, that bring doubt to my beliefs.  Why hasn't God shown his might, in the past 2000 years?  I'd like to see the parting of the Pacific ocean, something, anything. 

    Did God lose his magic touch?

      Hi intimat, actually I didn't start this thread searching for any specific history. I was wondering if there was any recent discoveries for an article I was writing for a client.

      In truth there is evidence though many will not see it as such. The changing of the seasons, birth, the simple color of a flower or flutter of a birds wing. All these things and more,in my opinion, are evidence of God.

        Of course "many" will not see it as such. That is because this is not "evidence." lol

        Any fool can see this is proof of the Star Goat and only workers for the anti-goat like you would attempt to deceive your fellow man in this fashion. Get thee behind me ring worm.

          I'm not a worker for anti-goat. What ever the H@$#% that means. I'm not trying to convince you to believe. Calling me names. Is that what your beliefs have made you?  PP

      It's a good question. We are listening to 45th hand accounts by people with a vested interest and most of the believers do not seem to actually believe. They are more interested in showing some sort of superiority than living as Christians.

      Exactly why doesn't god show himself like he used too?

      You beleebers - please do not bombard me with the standard - You have to have faith - argument - if that were the case - whey did god supposedly show himself all over the place for the bible fairy tails?

      But not any more. Now the only "evidence" is flowers. lol

          Not that you are trying to convince me of anything. lol

          Sorry - not interested in sharing your delusion. The Anti-Goat has many minions here on earth who attempt to spread the wurd that the Universe was not vomited by a Star Goat.

          See? There are Goats, therefor the Star Goat vomited the Universe.

          If you opened you eyes as well as your mind - you would see this as obvious truth.

          Why else is there grass? Exactly. No other explanation. Proof.

            I see your point...see I have an open mind. I have always listened to others, like you, I believe differently that's all.

            You need proof.

            nuff said.

        Yeah.  You know Mark, I have to agree with you here.  Like I said, it is this area of subject matter, that puts doubt in my heart about my faith.

        Why doesn't God show himself?
        What's he got to lose?

        How come we don't have people turning into pillars of salt, or witness water turning into wine, or bushes spontaneously erupting into flames, while the darn thing talks to you?

        I'd like to seeing a burning, talking, bush.

        I'd like to see someone turn into a pillar of salt. 
        Like for instance, my mother.lol

          Hi intimat, have you seen this:

          http://www.angelsghosts.com/angel_encounters

          I'm not saying these peoples stories are positive proof, but they do make one wonder. What if you were there?

            No I haven't seen what is in the link.  However, hell ya I'd believe if I were there.  You know, I believe in him now.  I'm just saying that it makes no sense why all that happened 5000 years ago, and nothing happens today. 

            I'd want to see something like the parting of the Pacific ocean, Lake Michigan turning into blood, Miami w/no Cubans....., something that is major and impossible, on a grand scale.  So why did he just stop?  You know what I mean?

            I'm just thinking out loud.

    Hi!

    Well good luck with that. 

    You know- there have been a couple underwater expeditions at the Dead Sea.

    There is future hope that these expeditions will bring up some new biblical discoveries.  It is an interesting concept, but I don't anything has come out of it yet.
