    But nowhere near the Biblical supposed time of the flood. Much later.

    No it doesn't. The Black Sea, as a fresh water, lake was much lower than the Med. When the land between gave way the water flooded in. I can only guess this but the area is known for earthquakes. Possibly one c aused the bank to give way.

    However I agree that the question of Noah and an Ark is unlikely.

    That's interesting considering you can actually book a trekking holiday on Mount Ararat today. Try it, if you're interested.
    You do talk a lot of trash.

    If that kind of crazy talk represents what being a xtian does to a person, no wonder some of us want to stand clear.

    There is no Ark on Mt Ararat.. Its myth borrowed from Sumer. The tale is recorded in Dilmun on hundreds of cunieform tablets.

    - - - Updated - - -

    That's what the crackpots claim..

    The claimants bilked a lot of people out of a lot of money.

    You People have to understand , America attacking Syria is bigger than just Democracy and OIL, they also want to get a partition of land closer to the Ark, and guess what? Turkey is not having that. So their could be a backstabbing of our ally Turkey on the horizon after Syria falls.

    Are they really protecting the Ark?
    Or are they protecting the myth?

    If Mount Ararat were to be crawling with people trying to find the ark, and, predictably, were to find nothing, then the myth just might lose some of its credibility.

    Of course, like most myths, it will still have a hard core of believers.

    For somebody that believes in Global Warming, you sure do hate on the existence of the Ark, when Global Warming is the biggest scam since Car Insurance.

    I was pondering the myth of the Roman Empire and how their larger than life myth of conquering lands came about. It's coiming clear to me that the Roman Empire was a myth.

    Its simply stupid to go hunting proof of a myth.......

    Who says I believe in global warming? Did you just throw that out there because you have no rational argument?

    So you were presumptive and rude because you got a kick out of it?
    Amen, brother. All praise Christian love!
    Fruits of the Spirit? Are you ever going to answer me?
    Why don't they apply to you?
    Is Paul a liar?

    Syria has indeed large oil reserves mostly not yet tapped, but the US gets the majority of its supplies of crude oil from the west and only a small amount from the Middle East. Learn something about your own country.

    As to stopping people from seeing the Ark. Turkey's economy is in a mess. The last thing they want to do is to stop tourism. If they really had the Ark they would promote it.This would bring in millions of Lira or Euros and lessen their problems. The reason they don't is that they do not have the Ark.

    And why should any one of us go there. Hundreds of skilled archaeologists have spent years searching for this Ark. None have ever found it. Many have claimed to, only for there 'finds' to prove worthless.

    You know nothing about Europe and little about your own country.

    Rubbish. The only thing you need to go above the snowline is to be able to prove your fitness for those testing conditions and prove you have the right gear. You can do this through your tour operator/guide. Permits are issued so the authorities know who is on the mountain if weather conditions become extreme and they have to help evacuate. Again through your guide.

    One doesn't have to. All you need is a computer and google earth. You can zoom in on it and clearly see it. It is now sticking out due to warming of the earth.

    Tell us you are joking, please.

    Side note, in Marco Polo's journal he spoke of how people
    were excitedly discussing the recent discovery of, yep, Noahs Ark.

    My dad said they have been discovering it every few years since he was a boy.

    Who was that little kid who never learned the mean girl would
    grap the football?

    For sure, one from some years ago, this preacher from Carolina goes to Turkey and says, he found the ARK!! And that he has a piece of it bring back and have radiocarbon tested, all of that.

    So of course the Turkish immigration people confiscate it, as a routine thing, nobody is allowed to remove antiquities. Notice how the whole world knew he was a-coming, he couldnt very well afford not to have them take it.

    Then of course, he has the fact that they confiscated it to use as Proof it was really the ark, and no embarrassment when his piece of wood
    proved to be noting but a piece of a pallet.

    I wonder what he made after that, going around giving slide shows and
    telling of his adventure. Who knows, maybe he got money for another vacation, hunting the ark of the covenant or the lost pyramid.

    I'm every bit as serious as I would be stating you will be shot on site upon reaching the snow covered peaks.
