23. They've been saying that the lump on Mt Ararat
Is Noah's Ark for years and decades now, but they still haven't gotten any kind of conclusive proof. And considering that Turkey hasn't allowed any expeditions up Ararat for a couple of decades now, how did they come across any real proof that it was the ark?

Sorry, but somebody is just talking out their ass again, and the gullible fools at CNN lapped it up like milk. I'm going to laugh long and hard when somebody does finally climb up there and finds out that the "ark" is nothing more than an unusual outcropping of rock.

Oh, and one other thing to consider, how do they know it's Noahs Ark? Considering how many different cultures from that time period have flood myths, complete with a ark, it could just as well be an ark belonging to the Greeks, Chinese, Native Americans, or any one of a dozen others.

This is just more MSM pandering to religious fundies. And yet these very same people are still whining about the "evil liberal media". Whatever:eyes:
