Virginia Man to Search for Noah's Ark in Turkey
Fox News ^ | today | staff

Posted on 02/02/2009 11:31:13 AM PST by Ron Jeremy

This summer Price, 57, plans to continue on a journey to prove just that as he joins an expedition to Mount Ararat. His team believes that it is there, in Eastern Turkey, where Noah's Ark remains preserved underneath layers of rubble and ice.

"There's a whole trail of history pointing to it [Mt. Ararat]," Price said in a recent interview. "But in our age, people tend to think it is more of a story like Jack and the Bean Stalk.' Our aim is to show that the Bible is good history."

...... A Kurdish shepherd told them that he had seen the ark, and even climbed on top of it, when he was a boy.

The team hypothesizes that the ark is preserved in several pieces beneath a glacier on the mountain, and every so often the glacier recedes, exposing part of the vessel.

"That's when he saw it as a boy," Price said, adding that they had interviewed the shepherd and could find no reason to distrust him.

The shepherd asked for nothing in return, and agreed to lead Bright to the site where he said he had seen the ark.

....

They found the spot, Price said, but it now is covered by an estimated 60-foot-deep pile of boulders. Price believes the landslide may have resulted from attacks against Kurdish rebels on the mountain, or perhaps from explosives that were set off to cover up the ark.

Of course, nobody lies about this sort of thing, so certainly the shepherd is telling the truth. But, alas, it is covered with boulders. Perhaps, though, they will find nearby evidence of the dinosaurs that unloaded from the Ark.

The one I can’t figure out is mosquitos.

But God is God, so I just keep my mouth closed.

The unicorns have already been distributed as promised by the “other” messiah in the White House.

Nobama still has a supply of rainbows though. It is part of the stimulus bill.

For non-believers, no amount of evidence is enough.

I’ve got green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but Lord, I’m so forlorn
I just can’t find no unicorns”

And Noah looked out through the driving rain
Them unicorns were hiding, playing silly games
Kicking and splashing while the rain was falling
Oh, them silly unicorns

There was green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Noah cried, “Close the door because the rain is falling
And we just can’t wait for no unicorns”

The ark started moving, it drifted with the tide
The unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried
And the waters came down and sort of floated them away
That’s why you never see unicorns to this very day

‘That’s why you never see unicorns to this very day’

And we are lessened as a result...
