Babelfish? or just a less than perfect translator?

This is NOT breaking news. I saw an episode of "In Search Of" with Leonard Nemoy report on this on a Saturday afternoon circa 1979.

It was more believable when Spock was talking about it, by the way.

"....about to unravel the mystery...." Sounds more like hope.

The ark was not a ship. It didn't need a pointed prow because it wasn't navigating forward or backward, but up and down, like an elevator born by the water,and so was shaped more like a collossal barn. The corners might have been rounded, or not.

There was a clerestory window along the top.

Cheap Russian-English translators, probably Indian.........

"And these bath towels disappear, yet reappear again the same day. The television is bolted to the floor? Why? Are they afraid that it will escape?"

Still, I'm hoping the ark will be found some day.

I'm hoping nobody is really serious about this. In my reading of the Bible, this literal an interpretation robs the inspired text of its moral power: if it "just happened" that way, where's the lesson? We all know that all the life forms in the world couldn't fit into a single ship, and that one person wouldn't be in a position to gather them all together even if they could. We do know that, right?

I see no clerestory window.

We know that, but there are a lot of gullible idiots in the world, and a lot of plastic-haired preachers to take their money.

Noah was a pakitani farmer living near the Indus river delta, he built a 3 layer log raft to ride out the annual floods(with tent on top). Along comes a hurricane with its 15 cubit deep(22ft)storm surge and washes him out to sea for a couple of weeks. He drifts around on the CCW currents, finally getting washed up on a sand bar, they have to wait for low tide to wade back to shore. 7 generations later his goat herder descendents jazz up this old, oral tradition family story around a campfire in Iraq(plains of shinar), including the Mt Ararat item; plus upping dimensions by 10, an old jewish banker's habit. Another 7 generations go by, and a young pakistani boy by the name of abram swallows the whole myth, hook, line and sinker. Or as Marilyn Von Savant said(230 IQ): you can convince a 5 year old of anything, a 95 year old of nothing...

[Logic n' Reason]

I wanna know why he brought two mosquitos on board!

Two cockroaches!!

Two rats!

Don't you think that Noah would have used the Ark to build his home and provide firewood after the flood as he re-built the world? - There would be no Ark left to find.

[Hank Rearden]

And wouldn't every species on Earth be inbred with three eyes and a unibrow? Like West Virginia?

[right right]

Too bad the liberals weren't on the dinosaur boat. I guess they assumed the role though.
