Why don't creationists fund a retrieval expedition?
I thought the now-you-seem-them, now-you-don't wheels took the cake, but recently Buz outdid them, demanding to know why scientists had not retrieved Wyatt's coral-encrusted wheels for testing.
How odd that creationists believe a proof of their meta-narrative sits in a known location, yet they do not (or cannot) fund an expedition to bring it home in triumph. If they truly believed ancient chariot wheel remains would prove their case, that expedition would have sailed many years ago.
We know why those coral-covered shapes will never see dry land.

Re: Why don't creationists fund a retrieval expedition?
So is there any reason to believe that an authentic chariot wheel found where they claim it to be would support any of their claims?
Usually a chariot wheel is just a chariot wheel--not an extraordinary relic that can prove an event that is otherwise without evidence.

Re: Why don't creationists fund a retrieval expedition?
Okay, so I'm a little rusty on my Wyatt Wheels
I recall now that this is supposed to be debris from the Egyptian army chasing Moses, et al.
They don't need a couple of chariot wheels; they need an entire drowned army. And that still wouldn't prove what they want without some other strong corroboration beyond Bible stories.

Such an archaeologist could not be trusted to adequately and accurately study such a find.
Apparently, by his own lights, Wyatt couldn't even be trusted not to lose it.
Refreshing my memory with Paul's links, I am again amazed that anyone could fail to recognize the classic signs of fraud.

My thoughts exactly: in his shoes, I'd jump at the chance.
I'd help with funding.
Archy could probably yell that wheel out of the water. I'd pay a dollar to see that.

Likely the Muslims have a reluctance to verify anything Biblical which would look good for Israel.
Wyatt claimed the Israelis prevented him from displaying his discoveries, though you seem to think they'd benefit from them.
I don't think you can blame this one on the Muslims.
