There seems to be an underlying belief among the ark aficionados that the discovery of Noah's Ark would somehow validate everything else contained in Genesis, and that it would conclusively disprove evolution and every other secular concept in the world today.
It's just not so.
First, the discovery wouldn't be conclusive. The best they could hope for is compelling evidence that a ship was found high on a mountain somewhere in the region that dates to about 2000 BC. It would be impossible to prove that it wasn't built at that location as some religious monument. It would certainly spark a lively conversation, though.
If you want a discovery that would really shake up the theological and secular worlds, find me the other Ark. The Ark of the Covenant, containing the Ten Commandments written by the finger of God, a bowl of manna, and one other thing which I don't recall. Extra bonus points if you die when you touch it.
Now, that would be impressive.

"The biblical account of Noah's Ark and the Flood is perhaps the most implausible story for fundamentalists to defend. Where, for example, while loading his ark, did Noah find penguins and polar bears in Palestine?" Judith Hayes
