Noah's arc

This time I was inspired by a discussion, that occured at some forum. There was talk about Bible and his Noah's arc. AND some guy claimed, that there is archeological evidence supporting the story of Noah's arc.

I am pretty sure, you've heard about it too. I also have heard about it and at first I believed that, but then again, it's me, so I just kept thinking about it and I came up with idea, that this was indeed a hoax. My reasons were simple, but at least sharp. The first thing is, this "discovery" was claimed to be made lot of years ago. After my personal study, I found out, that first expeditions were made in 19th century and therefore first claims of discovery of Noah's arc come from 19th century. So my point is, when there were reports of this discovery, why wasnt there any scientific consensus about it. Why there is noone to say: Yeah, they did it. They found Noah's arc and the story is true. There was no such thing. Only some people claiming, they saw it when they were at Mount Ararak(which is a little bit misunderstood believed place of Noah's arc position-i'll get to it later anyway) and there were of course people claiming, they've heard about the discovery, or they have read about it. But nothing concrete. After my recent study i found out, there were several people claiming the discovery but every of them was confirmed to be fake.

Other than that, there is no geological evidence for the Flood. Again, I've done my homework, studied about it and geological evidence rather contradicts it, as there are differences in erosion of mountains,  according to this theory should live on earth too many living creatures per acre at the same moment etc. I'll post links at the end so you could study it for yourself.

Okey, some of you might ask, where did those guys came to the "discovery" of Noah's arc. How did they know the location etc. In Bible it is said the Noah's arc "docked" at ararat mountains. But this is one of the problems. Lot of researchers (and also people throughout the world) thought, the Noah's arc was on Mount Ararat, so they thought of concrete mount. But that's not, what bible says. In Genesis there is this construction used: mountains of Ararat. This Mount Ararat itself is located in Armenia, by the way. So from the beginning, those archeologists were interested in Mount Ararat instead of the whole territory. And so there were several expeditions made to Mount Ararat, but none of them brought tangible evidence of Noah's arc.

Also there were some eyewitnesses of Noah's arc, but it seems, none of them is going to be taken seriously into account, as all of them sound improbable.

Oh and I should mention one major discovery of "Noah's arc", The Durupinar Site. The reason it was believed, this is actually Noah's arc is, that it consists of a large boat-shaped formation jutting out of the earth and rock. Later the geologists came to the conclusion, it is a natural formation, not an boat. Probably this "discovery" caused the ongoing hoax of the discovery of Noah's arc, which actually isn't really arc at all.

So this is it. No evidence for bible, for genesis and for Noah's arc was found at all. Bible remains being unsupported by evidence, being only a fairy tales book written by men lot of centuries ago in effort to keep control over other people. But anyway, it was great to study all that information about Noah's arc and about Flood as it's broaden my knowledge in these parts of argumenting with christians.

I'll post references for this entry now, so be sure to check them out, there is lot of interesting information there:
