Even if Noah's Ark is confirmed on Mt. Ararat, it still will not be proof enough.
If you founf the hammer of Thor that would not be enough either.

Originally posted by caissad4I see. So, because (as you claim) the Babylonian myth was told prior to Moses' account, this invalidates the veracity of the event? And, if the material in view is found to be the remnants of an ark, we should take a more serious look at Gilgamesh, Popol Vuh, or Nez Pierce teachings?

I will revise my assertion:
Even if the material currently in view is found to match every description possible found in the Bible, it still won't be enough.

I agree, if only because there isn't enough info in the Bible to verify anything.
Actually, I prefer the Greek account of the Flood, for there, after Zeus got mad at the corruption of man and flooded the world, an explanation is given as to the repopulation of the world other than repeated incest.

Originally posted by FreakyKBHIf you accept the story of noahs ark does that mean that you accept evolution from that point forward ? Otherwise how else would the immense variety of life on this planet exist? Did it all evolve from what was carried on the ark?

Personally I think Freaky's was a bit depressed when he posted; his prediction an ontological moan. Something like Tibetan thigh-bone music (Telerion's violin makes for a nice World Music mix).
Proof enough of what? Utnapishtim's historical existence? No, although it's a start.

Originally posted by Bosse de NageIndeed, Bosse. Perhaps Freaky could take comfort in the knowledge that even Ron Wyatt was unable to convince those secular liberal atheist bastards of the truth of his Mt. Ararat discoveres. Why, they've even managed to seditiously corrupt that bastion of Young Earth Creationists everywhere, AIG:
