In this world there are things that seem on the verge of being discovered every so often, yet never quite materialize. The "Lost City" of Atlantis, for example, has been "found" at least a half dozen times. One researcher is pretty sure it is in Bolivia; another says it is Antarctica; a third claims that Bimini beachrock may be from the lost civilization.So it is with Noah's Ark. The difference is, of course, that the implications of Noah's Ark actually being found extend far beyond archaeology. The weight of all the paired animals in the world is nothing compared to the religious freight that the Ark carries.The Arkstory is scientifically implausible; there simply wouldn't be enough space on the boat to accommodate two of every living animal (including dinosaurs), along with the food and water necessary to keep them alive.
Furthermore, constructing a vessel of that scale would take hundreds of workers months to complete.
Still,
Biblical literalists—those who believe that proof of the Bible's events
remains to be found—have spent lives and fortunes trying to validate
their beliefs.
The search goes on
Before discussing the recent claims regarding the whereabouts of Noah's vessel, a history of Ark "finds" is instructive.
Violet M. Cummings is the
author of several books on Noah's Ark, among them "Noah's Ark: Fable or
Fact?" (1975), in which she claimed that Noah's Ark was foundon
Turkey's Mount Ararat. According to the 1976 book and film "In Search
of Noah's Ark," "there is now actual photographic evidence that Noah's
Ark really does exist.... Scientists have used satellites, computers,
and powerful cameras to pinpoint the Ark's exact location on Mt.
Ararat."
This is a rather remarkable claim, for despite repeated trips to Mt. Ararat over the past thirty years, the Ark remains elusive.
Undeterred by a lack of
evidence, in 1982 Cummings issued a book titled, "Has Anybody Really
Seen Noah's Ark?," published by Creation-Life Publishers. The subtitle,
"An Affirmative Definitive Report," hints at Cummings's conclusion.
Interest in Noah's Ark
resurfaced in February 1993, when CBS aired a two-hour primetime
special titled, "The Incredible Discovery of Noah'sArk.&qu......

Hardly anything in the Bible has
been attacked as much as God’s cataclysmic judgment of Noah’s Flood. This
started with a Scottish physician called James Hutton (1726–97), who decreed in
1785, before examining the evidence: ‘the past history of our
globe must be explained by what can be seen to be happening now … No
powers are to be employed that are not natural to the globe, no action to

Submitted by Da Verminator: When last we saw the lost Ark of the Covenant in action, it had been dug up by Indiana Jones in Egypt and ark-napped by Nazis, whom the Ark proceeded to incinerate amidst a tempest of terrifying apparitions. But according to Tudor Parfitt, a real life scholar-adventurer, Raiders of the Lost Ark had it wrong, and the Ark is actually nowhere near Egypt. In fact, Parfitt claims he has traced it (or a replacement container for the original Ark), to a dusty bottom shelf in...Was Eden in the Kalahari desert ?

A former member of the expedition who recently claimed to have found Noah"s Ark in Turkey has stated that it was a hoax.Randall Price has claimed that in 2008 the wooden beams and planks from an old structure by the Black Sea were transported up to Mount Ararat in Turkey by Kurdish laborers. Further doubt has been cast by the presence of cobwebs in the corners of awooden compartment photographed at the site of the alleged discovery.

Though
the Bible does not specifically describe the instrument that Jesus died upon,
tradition has it that he was put to death on a cross; consisting of a stake and
a crossbeam. The Greek stauros is sometimes used to describe a simple stake, and
other times a more complex form such as the cross. To determine what appearance
the stauros took in Jesus' death, we need to consider what the Greek language
tells us, what history tells us, and most importantly, what the Bible tells us.

A stone in a dry creek bed in New

archaeological discoveries in the Western Hemisphere. It contains engraved on
its flank the entire Ten Commandments written in ancient Hebrew script! Hebrew
scholars, such as Cyrus Gordon of Brandeis University near Boston, have vouched
for its authenticity. I visited the site of the huge boulder, near Las Lunas,
