Not if it is buried in snow 14,000 feet up. Also, we are to believe what God said because He said it. we are not supposed to tust physical things, although we do have physicals things that testify to what He has done.

I would LOVE to see the Ark, but I am required to believe in it by faith, not by archaelogy. Still, I think it might be, mainly because Genesis is not myth, it is fact.

Why isn't it a myth? Two things take place in Genesis that are symbolic in many religions: creation/recreation (birth/rebirth). God created the earth then he destroyed it and it was re-created through the global Flood. You can find similar stories within every religion (naturally there are variants as to how the creation and re-creation took place, but the underlying message is still there -- that is, being spiritual and accepting a religion's commands can change your life and some would say they change it for the better). This would be classified as a myth also a theme.
