Randall Price was quoted on another thread (an email) saying it’s a hoax and raising questions about the organization.

the media and the blogosphere are abuzz over the cries of a team of Chinese and Turkish explorers who claim that the wooden structure they found on Mount Ararat in Eastern Turkey is none other than Noah’s Ark.

That is because it makes Christians look foolish.

“Like others”???? This discovery goes far beyond the non-evidence shown in the movie In Search of Noah's Ark. To actually be able to see and touch the wood that very likely could of been used from the Ark is a giant leap ahead in supporting the fact that the area was populated by somebody around the time of Noah. Not proof that it is the actual Ark - but proof that somebody was up there during that time, and they got that wood from someplace. I don't imagine that high up on the mountain is lush green forest.
I have always thought that the Ark would have probably been largely salvaged by the descendants of Noah, to be used for dwellings, boats, weapons, carts, among other things. Why leave behind all that cut lumber?

It could be ancient, it could be medieval, it could even have been constructed last week.

Well, we know it wasn't constructed last week. I've been seeing pictures of this for years. Whether it is Noah's Ark or not, I cannot say. But it's big, it's on top of a mountain, and it's been there for more than a week.

Despite the notable lack of significant evidence, the media and the blogosphere are abuzz over the cries of a team of Chinese and Turkish explorers who claim that the wooden structure they found on Mount Ararat in Eastern Turkey is none other than Noah’s Ark.

Experts in history, archaeology, and bibliology, meanwhile, are making note of the claim but not taking the bait.

Maybe they'll find something someday. I suspect they won't, nothing more than the remains of an ancient settlement. The ark would have been likely disassembled for building materials.

These things come by every few years, and have for a long time. "This time for sure Rocky."

Similar to "we're in teh endtimes!" excitements.

Well these same scientists would have said the same thing on say the “Dead Sea Scrolls”, that they were just a bunch of old papers or even of the “Shroud of Turin”. Typical.
