a discovery like Noah's Ark would throw everything we think we know about science on it's ear.
I don't think it has to.
There coulda been a guy with a big boat with some animals in it for a local flood. It didn't have to be a global one.
Although, how high up on the mountain was it and how much water would that have to have been to be that high? Maybe it would have been impossible...
Could the Black Sea Deluge Theory account for it?

Re: Skeptic
I would like to see it investigated by real scientists, not creation "scientists."
I saw this article on MSNBC where they quote archeologist Professor Paul Zimansky:
quote:
It would be nice to know what they have found - if there's a scientific publication in the offing,.. Press releases are not the way archaeology advances.
Also from the article:
quote:
"You have to take everything out of context except the Bible to get something tolerable, and they're not even working much with the Bible," said Paul Zimansky, an archaeologist and historian at Stony Brook University who specializes in the Near East - and especially the region around Ararat, known as Urartu.
and
quote:
"We know what's going on with Turkey archaeologically at that time, and there's no major interruption in the culture," Zimansky observed.
"There's not enough H2O in the world to get an ark that high up a mountain," Kuniholm said.
But still, the evangelicals are 99.9% sure they've found it
So much for their statistical abilities...

Re: Reported to be a fake
So, the Chinese people were in on it?
Or were they fooled by it?
