Do you have a URL for that by any chance, as I think some of us would like to vote on that?

I guess you have to be a member of AOL. It was on their login (Welcome) page. They have four top news stories that rotate. And it is no longer on that list, but still in the news listings. The latest voting is even worse:

Do you believe Noah's Ark exists?
Yes 78%
No 22%
Do you think the object at Mount Ararat is it?
Yes 65%
No 35%
Total Votes: 163,466

There is quite enough evidence that it is a large boat however.
What evidence would that be? Other than the satellite pictures, not a shred of evidence has been recovered from the site! If the Turks keep ejecting explorers and confiscating equipment, how can you say there's "enough evidence"? You admitted yourself that evidence CANNOT BE COLLECTED!

I think your "evidence" is along the lines of "I want it to be a boat."

This is being moved to Evo-Cre to join all the other Flood / Ark threads.

Happy sailing!

Well assuming that that brown thingy is a boat and assuming that it is "The Ark(tm)" is still too small to carry two of every animal (which I reckon might be a lot) plus they'd need supplies...tennis court...

I'll start to be less skeptical (but I'll still be skeptical) when they uncover a ship the size (if not bigger) than the QE2. And bird shite from the dodo and other animals that do live in that area.

Till then I shall go "bah" and ignore this platry excuse for a hoax (and the biggest engineering achievement ever seen in anchient(sp?) times)

It is indeed a sad world we live in.

I, for one, welcome our new ark overlords.

Damn, I just noticed the shadows don't line up.

If you look just to the right of the top two right side arrows you'll see a horizontal face, the exact same face found on Mars!!! What an epic discovery this photo is; really.

I do have to agree it does sound rather large. (Big things again) This really is worrying.

And looking at the picture I can't work out where it is located in raeliation to the contours. Is it in the side of a ridge?

It's a vol'canoe' which blew out sideways maybe and the shadowing just gives it a hull form in appearance. I mean this is as many guesses as you want time now. How anyone can believe is extremely worrying. Vulcanicity has been suggested above. It needn't have been on the same scale as Krakatoa. The extreme erosion which can be seen actually points to a very old age indeed. Anyone care to comment? Perhaps this has been mentioned, anybody know?

Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked. True though, we really did drop the ball here. Just wait until they find the secret ruins in Antarctica where we're hiding the True Cross, the Holy Grail and the Lance of Longinus... I think we need to beef up our local security forces just in case.
