A pentacostal lady who I work with is constantly trying to force christianity and the bible on everyone in the office. She says she watched a show on TLC that said that they discovered the remains of a large boat supposedly in the same area noah's ark would have been, and she's been using that as a valid reason why the bible is true. Does anyone know of any facts to challenge it? I tried looking it up, and no luck. I would really like to give her a much needed dose of logic, and get her off of my back. I personally think it's probably just some other boat that ended up there, but without facts, I really don't have a leg to stand on in the arguement.

Any facts on this issue would be helpful to my cause.

Noah's Ark threads have a happy home in the Evolution/Creation forum. Hold on while I make the move.

Cool, yeah.. I wasn't sure where to put it

We have umpteen million threads on the ark and flood on this forum. Just use the search feature. Some of the threads are dozens of pages long.

It is all from Ron Wyatt:
SEE HERE

Ron Wyatt is a fraud...

Oh, no, not the noah's ark thing again.

Jedi Mind Trick · 09-11-2005, 05:37 PM

It's all about his Durupinar site "excavations." HERE is a Noah’s ark Search site that talks about it and provides links both skeptical and supportive.

Edit To Add:
Scroll down to the Answers in Genesis article titled Amazing "Ark" expose and you'll be treated with a Young Earth Creationists rebuttal of the Wyatt find. Tell your coworker that if she has a problem with it to take it up with AiG.

Yeah, it appears that way...he seems like a person who's trying to convince others (and HIMSELF!!) that he and other christians aren't wasting their time. So he tries too hard to look for things that validate his beliefs.
