Mount Ararat was the mountain Noah's arc landed on. I'd really like to hear the explanation (from an atheist) of a how a 4,000-year-old arc, with the same measurements mentioned in the Bible, got to the top of a mountain, other than the Truth.

Old news... the "Ararat Anomaly" is not the Ark... it is a rock formation.

Nice try, but no dice.
The story of Noah isn't original to the Bible, like most mainstream religion myths, it was borrowed from earlier sources.
The story of Noah was adapted from the Babylonian epic of Gilgamesh which in turn, may have borrowed heavily from an earlier Babylonian epic, the story of Atrahasis.
There are many ancient "great-flood" stories from that region because the people of Mesopotamia lived on a flood plain between two rivers that constantly broke their banks and whose sources were near Mount Ararat .

There is an arc? I didn't know that any mathematicians practiced geometry on Mt Ararat 4,000 years ago. Ok, enough of me being a smart ***. Where did you get this information? There is no evidence of an ark on Mt Ararat. There are bogus stories that come out every few years about how someone has discovered it, but they never pan out.

Wow, you're really gullible, aren't you? Suppose I told you that on my last trip to the middle east, I found a piece of the cross? How much would you be willing to pay me for it? It has magic powers, you know.
But seriously, there is absolutely no evidence of a worldwide flood in the geologic record, and it would be there if there had been one. The Noah's ark story is just another (stolen) myth that you fundies insist is literally true, rather than allegorical.
And it's spelled arK.

A relic was discovered on the mountain, but it is not an ark. It could not have been any kind of watercraft, as we know from unimpeachable evidence that the mountain has been above water for at least 8 million years -- long before h. sapiens started wandering around the planet. Various features, including Christian symbols, indicate that the thing dates from the Middle Ages.

They have 'discovered' nothing. They have some grainy satelite photos which could be a lot of things, and a lot of imagination, and that is it. What's next, you are going to tell us where the Holy Grail is or the Arc of the Covenant? It's all simply christian mythology.

Hahaha The man who supposedly discovered it is considered the biggest fraud in history. All you have to do is perform a search on Mr. Wyatt and you will see that absolutely nothing this man says is true. Even a Christian website www.answersingeneisis.org did an article on how this was a fraud...So when your fellow Christians say your a liar...then chances are good you are.

You are correct it has been. In 1987, 1991, 1997, 1999, 2001, 2003, and again in 2007. So why is it they keep losing it?

Funny, you think some major news media other than xtian homophobic monthly would say something, yet again another man on the moon, (Remember when Xtains thought the world was flat and tried to use science to prove it, but when someone proved it wasn't they were burned kinda like that huh)

Please show me a picture I would dearly love to see it. Then explain how it got on a mountain that is millions of years old.
Let's say it is the ark, is that the kind of deity that is worth worshiping.? You can respect a deity that would flood the whole earth (LOL), killing innocent animals and babies because some people misbehaved!
