John
Thanks for catching my slip up. I'll blame it on The Glenlivet.

True of course, but I'm saying that a literalist interpretation would have to adopt the 7 pairs, or else there is no way to account for the sacrifice.

Yes - it's one and the same. And (according to the Wyatt website) Turkey has proclaimed it to be Noah's Ark - you don't suppose the possible tourism dollars had anything to do with that?

But the liar for Jesus claims on the video that they "core sampled" and found animal remains. Even their own website doesn't say that:

Laboratory analysis was performed on artifact labeled "deck timber". Galbraith Labs in Knoxville, Tennessee tested samples taken from within the "formation' and from without. All of the laboratory procedures were videotaped, including the taking the sample from the specimen, and the actual execution of the analyses.

Results of "inside" "outside" analysis:
The sample outside the formation showed a 1.88% carbon content; but the one from inside yielded a 4.95% carbon content, an amount that was consistent with the presence of prior living matter, such as decayed or petrified wood. It also showed a surprisingly high iron content.


Of course, the scholarship of Ron Wyatt's archaeological research is an embarrassment even to fundamental christian organizations. That should tell you something.

"When you actually see the boat"
He's lied too,saying his company just supplies the information,yet he was a Christian if i ever seen one.

Clearly a case for the psychological dept.
