We're too occupied with Mary in grilled cheese sandwiches and Jesus showing up in donut store shadows.

For the record I think it's a very nice ridge of rock.

Lol I put this in another thread since it was already about noahs ark , guess you cant do that.

If some primitive humans could build amazing giant structures like pyramids, I dont think its impossible that they could have built a boat too, It's not likely though.

If noah's ark was ever found, how would it effect your opinion on religion's?

In much the same way that my opinion of religion would change if someone prayed for someone's amputated head to regrow, and it did, and was functional.

There never was a worldwide flood.

Noah never collected Galapagos tortoises, polar bears, platypusses, kangaroos, moas, llamas, Komodo dragons.....or put them back afterwards.

End of story.

And both are compelling evidence in their own right.

Advance forecast : "And looking forward to tomorrow, skies will be generally overcast with temperatures down to 6° inland, followed by occasional global flooding and scattered debris".
Option 1 : Build impossibly large boat from unsuitable materials without the necessary technology.
Option 2 : Build big fuck-off hill.

It looks more like an Annunakian spaceship crash site to me...

It's the second paragraph that worries me.

Why? Washington has been a haven for the intelectually "special" for decades.
