Rules of Evidence
Randman writes:
Regardless, it does look like wooden beams and has tested positive for it. That's all the facts we have now. Do you have evidence those claims are wrong?
If so, please produce them.
Time for a little reminder about "evidence".
"Looks like" is not evidence.
Saying "it has tested positive for......" is not evidence. No lab or investigator named, no methodology of sample collection and analysis,........... no evidence.
We have no facts now except someone claiming on a website that they have discovered Noah's Ark and a few pictures of what appear to be natural rock formations, probably basalt, imo. Lots of rock formations "look like" something else. There are rock formations in Virginia caverns that look like petrified fried eggs "over easy". Are they fried eggs? No it is a rock formation.
Once again, it is not up to skeptics to prove an extraordinary claim wrong. The burden of proof is on the people doing the extraordinary claiming. Always.

Positive Test for Petrified Wood?
Randman writes:
Thus far, all the facts indicate that there is a positive test for petrified wood.
Which "facts" are you referring to? All I saw was a claim that a piece of rock they retrieved from the site tested positive for petrified wood. That is not a fact. That is an assertion. No methodology given for sampling or analysis, no lab or investigator named..........no fact.

Review of How Wood Gets Petrified
Randman writes:
As the ark would have been compressed, presumably, under rock or some such (in order to petrify),.....
You need to review how wood gets petrified. Here.
Petrified Wood - DesertUSA
Petrified wood - Wikipedia
Note that it takes WATER carrying dissolved minerals. How did the ark get submerged in mineral bearing water on top of the mountain AFTER the Flood waters receded?
