When I was a kid they had documentaries on finding Noah's Ark.

Couldn't they have just looked in the shipyard?

I have a video tape from about ten years ago. Has a Army general saying that the area contains Noah's Ark, but he couldn't confirm the specific location because of some other classified documents.

never mind. The one I remember is apparently part of a hoax.

In Search Of was a fucking awesome show.

Oh boo! I was talking about the rad Leonard Nimoy narrated TV show.

They also had a Noah's ark episode. I'm pretty sure I've watched reruns of the entire run of the show. A&E, TLC (in it's very early days) and History all at some point played this show by the truckload.

This might as well be just a headline and nothing else, they gave us so little information in the story. Is that what reporting has come to? I tried to cross check the story with other sources only to find that plagiarism is alive and rampant in journalism today. Nobody has anything on this except the claims in the headline.

Much better reporting on the story from National Geographic: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/...ark-found-in-turkey-science-religion-culture/

It's multi-sided, as in-depth as possible, and links back to previous, relevant stories on the same topic.

Huh. What's really interesting about that article is it involves a young-earth-creationist following his beliefs to its logical conclusion that, with his [STRIKE]fantasies[/STRIKE] theories about the way the world works, the carbon dating for the ark is way off.

"If you accept a young chronology for the Earth ... then radiocarbon dating has to be reinterpreted," because the method often yields dates much older than 6,000 years, Wood said.

Radiocarbon dating estimates the ages of organic objects by measuring the radioisotope carbon 14, which is known to decay at a set rate over time. The method is generally thought to reach its limit with objects about 60,000 years old. Earth is generally thought to be about four and a half billion years old.

Across the board, radiocarbon dates need to be recalibrated, Wood believes, to reflect shorter time frames.

Given this perceived overestimation in radiocarbon daiting, the wood the Noah's Ark Ministries International team found should have a "traditional" radiocarbon date of several tens of thousands of years if the wood is truly 4,800 years old, Wood said.

Young earth creationism and logic -- I never thought the two would meet.

Of course they called BS, it probably the most trustworthy news source on the planet.
