Did Noah Dwell in This?
While we can justifiably be skeptical of any far-reaching and religiously-significant discoveries, such as the recent finding of Noah’s Ark in Turkey, if it were so unimportant, would MSNBC let loose its liberal dogs?
Alan Boyle opines:
Even if you assume the explorers found what they say they found, linking the discovery to Noah’s Ark requires lots of leaps of faith: Is the carbon dating accurate? Cornell’s Kuniholm said he would like to know who did the dating, especially considering that previous tests reportedly came up with more recent dates. Is it more plausible that the structure is from a miraculous ark, or from an ancient shelter on the mountainside? Is there any evidence of a catastrophic flood that rose to near the top of Ararat 4,800 years ago?
Of course, had this carbon dating involved the remains of a prehistoric human being (thereby proving evolution and disproving creationism), Mr. Boyle would right now be proclaiming it to be the greatest discovery in the history of the universe.
But, alas it isn’t so.
