Where is Noah's ark? Where is the Ark of the covenant? Where are the 10 commandments? Where is the Holy Grail? Where is the Cross Jesus was crucified on? Where is the spear of destiny?
I would think items of this much religious signifigance would show up somewhere in the world...

No it's not enough proof. I want to see these items that they talk about. They haven't found any of them. I don't care if they found a book from the bible. Obviously it was around back then or it wouldn't have made it to this point. I'm talking the items IN the bible.

The spear of destiny is in a museum. Of course, no-one believes it's the REAL spear of destiny.
The ark of the covenant is claimed to be on an island in ethiopia, but no-one is allowed to see it except the guy who cares for it.
Ron Wyatt claimed to have found Noah's ark, but it was just a natural rock formation (that didn't even look very ark like).

Noah's Ark is on top of Mt. Ararat in Turkey, The Ark Of The Covenant is in Israel somewhere. As for the other things you've mentioned, I'm not sure. Recently they found a section of the book of Psalms in Ireland that was dated back to the time of Jesus. Is that enough proof for you? You shouldn't need proof anyway.

The original commandment tablets were shattered as soon as Moses made it down the mountain. If you are going to condescend, do some basic research.
Before you start feeling proud of yourself for having successfully refuted the Judeo-Christian tradition, try to realize that whether or not you believe that such things had any divine source, they all almost certainly existed. The tablets, if not inscribed by the had of God, were chiseled by a man. The ark was, in fact, built by the Jews and was lost along with everything else in the temple. The Cross was probably reused in subsequent crucifixions. The spear probably remained with the centurion who owned it.

Didn't you see Raiders of the Lost Ark and National Treasure? LOL
Seriously, can you go get your birth certificate right now? Your library card? That's the kind of stuff that can get lost in a few years. Where is your grandfather's first car right now?
Compare how easy it is for items to become lost over a few or 50 years to how easy it is for things to be lost to the sands of time over 2000 and 3000 years.
Some of these artifacts ARE held in safe places today. Did you see the news story just a couple weeks ago that a psalm was found in a bog in Ireland? It was! I believe John the Baptist's body is buried in the Vatican, is it not?, for another example.

*Shrug* I dunno... there are 3 or 4 places that claim they hold Noah's Ark... the Ark of the Covenant is supposedly in Ethiopia, yet there is no proof to back this one up... it's a guestimation more than anything. The Holy Grail... who knows... supposedly somewhere in England (they've dug up everything they could and still haven't found it)... supposedly Constantine's mother found pieces of the cross, and they do have one piece they claim is where his arm was nailed to it... and it holds the inscription of him being king of the jews.... which that right there shows me it's a fraud... cause they never wrote anything on the cross piece... they put it on papyrus and placed it above the head....

according to some accounts, noah's ark is still on mt. ararat, where it rested after the great flood, although it is said that it has broken in two. the other artifacts have been misplaced or destroyed in the past.

The only "real" artifact was the Shroud of Turin, but carbon dating showed it was made in the year 1357.

Given that all of these stories are, after all, just stories, then it is highly improbable that genuine artifacts will ever be found. Who in their right mind would expect to find a remnant of Santa Claus' sleigh?

some churches "claim" to have artifacts. claim. however when they are asked to verify it or have someone verify it for them, it magically disappears. case in point. the shroud of turin, the cloth that jesus was supposedly buried in when he resurrected. carbon dating proved it was a fake and could not have been from the time he was supposedly alive.
