It has always been believe that the ark was in Turkey. There is a wooden structure on that mountain.

Fun story for the credulous.

13,000ft above sea level.

That means it requires a 13,000 foot deep flood. A back of the envelope calculation shows (assuming I didn't miss a decimal) that this requires 2 BILLION cubic kilometers of water.

The total volume of sea water on Earth is ~1.37 billion km^3. So this is in addition to that. The total ice volume is usually given as around 30 MILLION km^3.

So the BS flood concept requires a doubling or trebling of Earth's water supply, which then also vanishes.

Morons.

It was of Biblical proportions as told.

It was deposited by a stream of comets that burned up in the atmosphere, then taken away by the passage of a rogue micro black hole though the planet...

They claim carbon dating proves the relics are 4,800 years old — around the same time the ark was said to be afloat.
Religion in a nut shell right there.

Man 1: You know, carbon dating shows that Earth wasn't created at the time Bible gives.

Religious nut: *fingers in ears* LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!

----------------------------

Religious nut: WOOT! We found the Noah's Ark! Carbon dating matches the time period!!

Man 2: I though you didn't trus-

No, the kooks say that Carbon dating only works to 5000 years. PAst that it's giving results of "god tricking us" or something.

Idiots.

God did it.

Same way he put physics on hold to stop a wooden craft of the size required to house so many animals from breaking apart.

True, that was not really addressed here.

Here's some more simple concepts these morons will overlook:

1. 2 of each type is not a viable number of animals

2. Getting even 2 of each type first requires traveling in the boat to every corner of the earth to pick them up BEFORE the magical flood. Given that we're still discovering new species, this is funny (how many decades does the bible say Noah went around picking up animals BEFORE the 40 days of rain?

3. 40 days and night of rain? Lesse, 13k feet, times 12, divided by 40, divided by 24 hours... 162.5 inches of rain PER HOUR. 2.7 inches of rain PER MINUTE. How did they BREATHE?

ROFLMAO.

And how did Noah keep the salt water fish alive?

That much rain would dilute the salinity of the oceans and kill the salt water fish.

Unless it rained salt water in that case it would probably kill make the land incapable of sustaining plant life.

Speaking of plant life, what about all the terrestrial plant life that could not survive being underwater for the weeks of the flood?

It just don't add up.

I always wondered what Noah did with all that poop too?

Platapus, you can find all the answers to your questions at cretinist central.
http://www.answersingenesis.org/get-...opic/noahs-ark
Plus you can find some real gems like "what did the dinosaurs eat on the ark".
Its quite a surprising answer as apparently the carniverous ones ate giant tortoise and exotic fish

Umm not necessarily true. I've found at least some of the things written to be genuinely true. But the other things that I don't know must still be taken errr with faith.

Things like the face of God which shines(and shining was an understatement as it was more like exploding with light), and that the dead not being able to remember anything including God and unable to register the passage of time either. Things like more than one author in diffrent span of time writing about the exactly the same thing . . .that later I found to be true.

One of the things I got it wrong was that I thought God was always meek and loving and it seems that God is more like strict and loving. I didn't know that people couldn't stare at God's face so I did when I had the chance while I was a kid years ago (and I thought it was just Christ and I wanted to see Jesus face I really do, the real one) ...my repeated attempt and stubbornness was met with both my eyeballs being made hurt in the end. Kinda arrogant wasn't He . . . .LOL

As I get older I hold more respect to the bible.

But then again perhaps God is not for everyone.
I just feel lucky enough to know certain things, things that made me knew that God is real. It has helped a lot in life but even with knowledge things must still be taken with faith too as no one can know God like knowing another person. If made a metaphor knowing God in this life is like touching but not seeing, like hearing but not seeing, and like seeing but not hearing and touching.
