A group of Turkish and Chinese evangelists are claiming that they have found (the real) Noah's Ark on mount Ararat in Turkey. Apparently they found a bunch of wooden structures at an altitude of 4,000 meters and fragments of this wood has been radio carbon dated to 4,800 years old, i.e. roughly the right period for the Bible story of Noah and his Ark.
There are of course many problems with this claim and also with the whole flood story itself, it is also worth noting that no conclusive photographs have been forthcoming of these "wooden structures". It's also worth noting that evangelist Christians like the ones making this claim also claim that the world is only 6,000 years old and that radio carbon dating techniques (among others) that disprove this belief are bunkum (make your minds up guys!)
I did read somewhere once that even if you took two examples of every animal and plant species on the planet and liquidised them, they still wouldn't fit into the supposed Ark, never mind how those poor kangaroos managed to walk all the way back to Australia from Turkey :) Anyway, lets not spoil a good story with something boring like "reality", we all know what it means if this discovery turns out to be true (and not a completely delusional fabrication like all the other Ark discoveries).....
Yarhoo!
