It is my honest belief that certain religious "artifacts" such as Noah's Ark will never be discovered. Some things have to be accepted purely on the basis of faith.

There is also the viewpoint that the Torah is NOT to be interpreted literally.

What some Jews believe is that the narratives in the Torah are to instruct us in the ways of G-d, and are not to be understood as actual historical events.

Very much as the parables of Jesus were meant to be instructive, to inform, to make a point, obviously not to be taken as having literally happened.
