Okay, so now that we know the dimensions of the ark, I want a detail display showing how all the animals, plus their feed, could be stored aboard this boat.

I always wanted to know how he got ONLY two mosquitoes on board.

Maybe those are "clean" animals. He had 7 apiece of those.

Yes, the government of Turkey definitely does NOT want tourists flocking to their country to see biblical/archeological sites. Best to keep this DEFINITELY REAL ark find under wraps.

Right, especially since Muslims revere Noah as one of the great prophets, too.

When I was a kid, my idiot father told me emphatically that petrified wood doesn't exist. Wood can't turn into stone he said.

Guess he missed that trip to the Petrified Forest.

Do these guys not know a single person who has ever taken a geology class?? That is very clearly an exposed anticline.

Check it out everyone! I found a giant "Noah's Ark" in Wyoming! http://www.sdnhm.org/archive/exhibits/shelton/images/shel_sheep_mtn.jpg

And here's the "stern" of another "Noah's Ark" in Pennsylvania! https://www.fas.org/irp/imint/docs/rst/Sect6/PennValley.jpg

Dude! I'm digging up Noah's Arks everywhere! Its almost as though this were an incredibly common geological feature, easily identifiable by any freshman geology student...

Look, buddy, I don't know just who you think you are: They never said anything about "geology" in the article. They clearly referenced "real science"

Sure, someone who's been seduced by secular science would say that. But the fact is that you've been blinded, while their eyes are opened by faith. With the eyes of faith, anyone could look at that craggy landscape with lots of rocky cliffs and see OF COURSE the vaguely almond-shaped area crudely demarked with similar rocky cliffs is the remains of the Ark. Similarly, the eyes of faith look at vaguely circular shaped impressions on the rocks and see expertly engineered metal rivets, while eyes blinded by secular science might say, "So it's 82% not metal? Maybe mostly silica? So, in other words, consistent with rock?"

One would expect with a genuine find like this that true Christians/Mormons/whatever would greet these reports with elation. Sadly, Satan has infiltrated even organizations that should be bulwarks of the faith. Answers in Genesis has denounced Wyatt's findings as "bogus" (http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/cm/v21/n2/has-ark-of-the-covenant-been-found) It is heart-rendering (to quote my old pastor) to see a hero of the faith brought low as his supposed friends turn on him like a herd of swine.

In closing, shame on you.

A cat hair? Say what? Was it pettrified? You didn't break it during the boring process and getting it out of the mud? How did you do a DND on a piece of petrified hair? What kind of cat was it? One hole on an improvised drill and you found petrified animal shit, an antler and animal hair, yet you didn't see fit to dig any more? Come on, am a veteran traveler on the B.S. highway.

I could probably dig in precambrian strata and retrieve cat hairs. It helps that I have three cats and carry a generous supply everywhere I go, in spite of my best efforts.

And another thing, without a destinct bow and stern it was stated that this nondefinit shaped object was exactly 300 cubits, the same as in the bible. I consulted wikipedia and found that the cubit is the length of the distance from your elbow to the tip of the middle finger. It is a measurement that is not exact. Even the two Egyptian standards that were found in tombs had variations from 20.6 inches to 20.8 inches. So I wave the B.S. flag on this one too. I guess that I can find someone from a midget to a giant NBA player who will serve as my cubit to fit "exactly 300 cubits".

That explains it then... there were multiple arks. Multiple arks explains how all the animals fit on board and why flora and fauna vary across the world. Problem solved ;)

Anyone with a knowledge of geology would ID these sites a Doubly plunging synclines. A bit higher knowledge would be able to determine the stress-strain involved... eg the fracture pattern.
