My dad was ranting that the Discovery channel was lying about the Ark not being found on Mt. Arrorat, in an iceburg. He said that people actually went there, and saw it, but then got kicked out by the government. He says that the DC said that there were only grainy satelite photos of an ark-shape, and that it isn't proof... he claims that people actually saw the ark... thing... I don't see how a giant boat is proof of Noah existing, but just checking with all of you...

If Noah Ark ever existed, it would have rotted away centuries ago. There are steel ships which completely rusted away in merely 100 years, so what are the chances that some leaky tub made of wood would have lasted 3,000 years?

I can't see my heart and yet it beats to keep me alive! There are alot of things I haven't seen and yet I know they exist because I believe. Yes I believe this is the Ark!! Even if this isn't I still believe the ark exists! The Government would never tell the public this is the real thing, because this would make the stories of the bible true! You either believe they are or aren't. Just like the shroud of Jesus, perhaps this has been found as well. Let your faith lead you feeling is often more powerful than seeing!

Yeah, I saw a picture of that once. All I could tell was that it was dark, rectangular, and on top of a mountain. So it could have been anything, like the face of Elvis on Mars. But if people actually saw a big boat on top of a mountain, then you have to wonder how it got up there. And to the guy who said it would have rotted away by now, long extinct animals have been found, fully preserved in ice, so I don't see how a wooden structure couldn't be.
Speaking of big ships and icebergs, I saw a great documentary the other night about the iceberg that sunk the Titanic. Apparently the iceberg came off worse than the ship.

It wasn't an iceberg, but perhaps a Glacier. And it wasn't an ark, but bits of wood. And the dating is far from conclusive.
Basically, people took photographs of an object sticking out, and thought it might resemble part of the Ark of the Bible. Nothing resembling a complete vessel has been found. People let their imaginations run wild and think that a bit of wood on a mountain in Turkey proves that Genesis is literal and without error.

Actually there have been thousand of so called "Noah Ark discoveries" over the years. So that means there have been thousands of huge boats. In reality there is no way to ever prove that any of these boats are Noah's ark and not just some huge ship built by some civilization way back in the day.

Well a giant boat being in the mountains of Ararat fits with the story of Noah's ark. But this story has been known for decades. I believe two Frenchmen found it in the early 20th century.

Some claim that Noah's Ark was found on top of Mt. Ararat right on the Turkish-Russian border, and that it was in a petrified wood state, being as old as it is.
I'd like to believe that it's true, but I've heard so many of these stories over the years, I'm not sure what to believe about it......
I believe the story about Noah and the flood is true, so it doesn't matter to me if they find an Ark there or not

Let us just hope they were not promoting that dead lunatic who also claimed to havediscovered the Holy Ark of the Ten Commandments, Pharaoh's chariots on the floor of the Red Sea and The Living Blood of Jesus.
Ron Wyatt was a total loonie but he believed what he himself said so much that an awful lot of people weere fooled by him.

That's a story totally dependent on faith. It's been aired:
1. a boat of those dimensions given (which would be the size of the Titanic !) made of wood, would collapse on itself in very short order.
2. anything on that frozen mountain would have washed down long ago.
3.Rain of 40 days and nights, and all of the water and ice known to man, if melted, cannot raise an object to those heights.

As Noah's Ark never existed the chances of its being found are nil. There have been claims that the Ark has been discovered but every one has been shown to be false.
