No, it’s in venison.
Now the problem is....Telling someone to build an ark and get two of each kind because it's gonna rain....is STUPID.
All you have to do is look at the little Ark kits we buy for our kids to see how stupid the story is.
I'd say there was a storm once "somewhere"...perhaps a tsunami....and "Noah's Ark" was the best way they could describe the event. I don't even think it happened in Turkey!!
There’s several things about this story -
He’s been there 30 times and has nothing but some photos to show for it? Hundreds and prehaps thousands have been up there over the last 2 thousand years and have brought back nothing.
It has been proven time and time again that there was a huge flood so that isn’t a fairy tale.
$60k shouldn’t be that much for these guys. One would think that they would have had things ready to go at a moment’s notice for years already. There’s the weather excuse, the mean ol’ government excuse, then they have the military causing land slides excuse and now they need some funding to start to get things together excuse. Enough already! It’s been exposed to the weather enough over the centuries and crushed with lands slides so rounding up a few dozen villagers to just haul the thing down this summer isn’t going to hurt it much more.
Actual event.....There have been intense floods all over the world at some point....Just look at the tsunami which we all saw.....How would you explain the intensity back then???? Voila...Noah!!
Wrong. Whoever wrote this lede over at the AP (Always Pimping), failed due diligence. God did not tell Noah to gather only two of each. He told Noah to take 14 of many animal types. See Genesis 7:2-3.
"Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that [are] not clean by two, the male and his female. Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth."
3:1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
3:2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: (Ge.1)
3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:(Ge.7:11-24)
3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.(II Pe. 3:12-14 and Re. 20 and 21)
3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Virginia man searching for Turkey in Noah’s Ark???

Don't answer. Be the "open-minded" people you claim to be and think!
About half of this book gives detailed accounts by thirteen different explorers who have climbed Mt. Ararat – and one discovers how difficult such expeditions are to arrange, how treacherous Ararat is to scale, and how inaccessible the Ark is, buried under ice most of the time (except during long, hot periods). Also, severe earthquakes on the mountain appear to have broken whatever is up there into 3-4 separate pieces, which now slowly slide down in glacier ice, into the deep, northern Ahora Gorge.
It is the day of our New Beginnings. This year it began on April 11 at sundown. YHvH is coming again to bring His Judgement, soon. It is now time to call on His NAME: Yah'shua. The same seventeenth of Nisan is when Yah'shua rose from the dead.

Wait. Didn’t I see this on Leonard Nimoy’s “In Search Of” in the early 1980s?
If Noah’s Ark is found on this mountain I believe the Koran is proven wrong. And if the Ark of the Covenant is discovered in Ethiopia to be real then the Koran is proven wrong as well. The Holy War continues and the Christians WILL triumph. God bless us all.
What makes any one with any knowledge of wood at all think there is any trace of the ark left after all this time? Let's say some bits and pieces are still there, a few pegs(no nails)and some wood bits, maybe petrified, how will they determine these scraps belonged to the Ark?
My scenario for the Ark? 150 years after the flood some poor farmer was searching for firewood and came upon the remains of a boat where one shouldn't be, not being familiar with the story of the flood, he cut it up and took it home and used it to cook meals and heat his hut. Lasted him for 3 or 4 winters.
Hey, my version of what happened to it is just as plausible as thinking anything is left of it after all this time!
In the Bible, the Jews were lost in the desert for 40 years.
They kept walking in a circle around the same mountain, failing to notice it was always the ‘same’ mountain.
The mountain was not the point of the story.
In the Bible, Noah built the Ark to protect his family and the animals from drowning.
The point of the story was not the Ark itself. Why do we search so intensely for the ARK, yet ignore the point of the story?
