Noah's Ark - Fact Not Fiction

In 1943 during WW2, an army Sgt., Ed Davis, was working in Iran near the Turkish border, in charge of locals hired by our army to build a road through Iran to the Soviet border, which would carry supplies to the Soviets instead of flying them in.

In short, Ed did a tremendous favor for a little Kurdish village near Ararat. His workers were mostly Kurds and the chief of the village came to Ed and asked if he would like to see Noah's Ark. He said the summer on the mountain had been hottest in many years and the Ark was visible for the first time in years...

“Wonder how they made it to Texas from Mt. Ararat?”

On the backs of magical whales.

It's right there man! Can't you see it? Are you blind?
Ok, I'll circle it in red:

Sorry mate, but I’ve seen all of those photos before. Totally unconvincing. Their long distance shots of so called ‘anomalies’. Proof of this requires boots on the ground, carbon 14 dating, etc...

There is also the pesky issue of the flood itself.

Ahhh yes... NOW I see it. If you hadn’t circled it I probably would have missed it.

Well, then. That settles it! Case closed!

You going to the baseball game tonight?

flora and fauna tended to cross oceans via ocean currents from one shore to another.

I was wondering how the wild boars got to Oahu.

Q. What's harder than getting a pregnant Brontosaurus into the ark?

The Brontosaurus father?

The Kurds and the Turks are fighting over this area. That and the Armenians claim Ararat as their own.

So we have Turkish secular muslims, Kurdish communists, and Armenia Orthodox Christians fighting over the same territory. Not a save place to be.

There is an “anomaly” on the mountain. A former Navy Intelligence officer wrote a book about it (and was on the History Channel talking about it).

But whether that is the Ark or not can't be known from a satellite.

The Polynesians were great navigators. They brought pigs along as food and to help domesticate the area they colonized. Pigs are one of those animals that have been found just about every where man is. The word "boar" is also one of the words that is in common to many languages.

Just one of those bits of trivia I picked up as the son of a pig farmer!

Thanks for the explanation! My daughter is living on Oahu with her husband who is stationed there. Last week she mentioned that wild boars roam in that area.

I believe the water was stored in Cindy Sheehans head. Either that or somewhere underground, like in Senator Stevens’ ‘intertubes’.

Nooooh. It would be 6 more than that. Ducks are members of the bird type and were collected (akin to “clean” animals”) in pairs of seven, so it’d be SEVEN pair of ducks (not just a pair of ducks).

Ararat “Anomaly”?

Looks like a mountain ridge where the wind tends to make snow drift across.
That seems obvious from a cursory glance at the photos.
You would likely find such anomalies on any high mountain ridge.

Dude.

That’s your best response?

I was anticipating Kant, Hegel, Kierkegaard, or Hume.

That’s your best response?

It would seem that I’m going to have to join up with a cult.

Your response is THE most lame response I have EVER seen ANYWHERE.

I’m going to have to remember this; NOBODY could possibly be so BAD on purpose.

No. I’m going to join a cult.

Which is the BETTER cult? The cult of presidential-nominee impeachement or the other cult?

Dunno.

I’m telling you this straight up: your ass is lame.

You're a sad, strange little raygun and you have my pity...
