    Google it... or Mountain of Descent... http://www.abarim-publications.com/Meaning/Ararat.html

    Also, I read that the people's language who the name Ararat came from no longer exist and is like Georgian...

    Indeed. I was categorizing rather than expounding.

    No, you won't.

    This is faith you describe, and you do it very well.

    However, science does not rest on faith. It can't. In fact, as I explained earlier, if science was about faith then we'd still accept all sorts of obsolete theories. But we don't.

    Nope. The Theory of Evolution is based on the FACT that it does indeed happen.

    No, it is the testimony of Scripture. God is the Creator.

    Har means hill as well.

    God does not exist, so god cannot create anything.

    Your like Pavlov's dog. As soon as God is mentioned your rush in to declare He doesn't exist.

    That He exists or not is not the point in what I said. That it is the testimony of the Bible as opposed to 'hypothesis' is .

    That is correct. God does not exist.

    The 'testimony of the Bible' is hearsay and not even 'hypothesis' material.

    The point is that it is the testimony of the Bible, and not a hypothesis.

    Ofcourse, the 'testimony of the Bible' is not a hypothesis, its hearsay.

    What interests me the most is the language and translation... What was the language at that time. It seems that it is a "missing" culture or something to that effect since I keep finding it's not Hebrew.

    Can you shed any light on this?

    I believe the term is "devinely inspired".

    Well, running water does separate dirt, rocks and sand into different stratas. However, it doesn't do that in flood conditions, it does that over moderately long periods of time. Layers of sediments caused by flood conditions are known to be caused by floods, because they are mixed up, not stratified.

    You say it doesn't do that in 'flood conditions'. The Noahic flood was not just a flood condition. Once the waters engulfed the earth it was one ocean.

    Relics of Constantine, and his mother, St. Helen.

    St. Helena was the daughter of an innkeeper in England, and despite her lowly station, was married to Constantius Chlorus, a Roman general. They had one son, Constantine. After 22 years of marriage, her husband was named Caesar under Emperor Maximian, and immediately divorced Helena to marry Maximian's stepdaughter for political gain.

    Fourteen years later, Constantius died, his son was proclaimed Caesar, and 18 months later, Emperor. Constantine made up for the neglecte his father paid to St. Helena, ordering all honor be paid to the mother of the sovereign. She converted to Christianity about the same time, when she was 63 years old, in the years 312-313.

    It was her son who issued the now famous "Edict of Milan", permitting Christianity in the Empire.

    Well she burned a bunch of Rabbis who couldn't show her the wood from the cross.

    http://www.ichrusa.com/saintsalive/constant.htm

    Constantine sent his mother Helena to Jerusalem to try to find the cross on which our Lord was crucified. When she arrived, she bade all the Jewish Rabbis of the whole land gather to meet her.

    Great was their fear. They suspected that she sought the wood of the cross, a secret which they had promised not to reveal even under torture, because it would mean the end of Jewish supremacy. When they met her, sure enough, she asked for the place of the crucifixion. When they would not tell, she ordered them all to be burned.
