But I did not mention the Ark because there is no physical evidence for an Ark.
I created a
thread on CARM a while back..
One of the evidences that supports the YEC's view has been lifted from the bible.
If one reads an account in the bile...then goes looking for the remains of the account and finds it...the bible gains even more credence.
In the bible there is an account of a sea worhty vessel called Noahs Ark. People have read about it for several thousand years.
People have looked for it where the bible says it landed....Genesis 8:4 informs us that...the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
So they looked...and here's what has been discoverd as presented
in this article
FIGURE 1. AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH OF AN OBJECT, SHAPED LIKE A SHIP, IN THE ARARAT MOUNTAINS, EASTERN TURKEY, 1959,
The Old earth Secular geologist claimed it was simply a natural phenomena...and walked away.
About a year after taking the photo an expedition went looking for it.
The Ark like anomaly was found and over the years investigated....as the link above shows.
They employed scientific techniques such as metal detection and deep penatrating radar to peer underground...and discovered a ship.
The article tells us....On one occasion, the radar equipment picked up what appeared to be a square shaped object within the ships remains. The specimen was dug up by the Turkish military at that time, and later analyzed by Galbraith Laboratories in the United States. The laboratory testing confirmed that the specimen contained organic carbon, indicating that the material was not rock, but was once composed of living material, consistent with petrified wood. (Fig. 4).
The natural phenomena that the OE Geologist walked away from turns out to not be rock. Metallic objects were also discovered at the Ark site....see figure 5 in the link provided above.
Figure six shows a very ship like pattern when the locations metal was connected....quite amazing.
It was then concluded that the object was the remains of a ship, which exactly matched the Biblical description, and dimensions of Noah’s Ark.
As time went on the rib indentations of the ships were discovered and investigated. Figures 8,9 and 10
As time went on they eventually took 3D images...and the hull of the ship became apparent. Figure 14.
Once again the physical biblical description was realized...“WITH LOWER, SECOND, AND THIRD STORIES SHALT THOU MAKE IT.” (GEN 6:16)
Once again the biblical details were a match....Location, size, shape, (figure 19) decks, materials
The article goes on to explain many more biblically predected features and draws several conclusions. One which is:
It would be a physical impossibility, for a ship the size of the Ark, to drift into the Ararat Mountains, and run aground, 2000 metres above the present elevation of sea level, without water being present. Yet the Ark is not millions of years old. The fossils and sediment on top of which the Ark came to rest, had to have been deposited by the same water, which carried the Ark into that area.
For those who don't believe the bible and follow an Old earth narrative....if it's not Noahs Ark...what is it?
What you fail, over and over, to recognize is that there are multiple accepted ways to interpret the Bible besides a literal interpretation. If don't agree explain why we have multiple Christian denominations, most of which are based solely of different Biblical interpretations.
Back to what is important, neither belief nor disbelief in a Bible ark matters for salvation. I respect your belief in a ark while arguing against the reality of it.
