“My problem is that, in the end, proper analysis may show this to be a hoax and negatively reflect how gullible Christians can be.”

Gee, do you really think (some) Christians could be that gullible? Really? (/sarc)

Oh wait. I just read a LDS post that sets the matter straight. Noah's Ark traveled from Missouri to the Holy Land in forty days and nights of tempest tossed waters. Guess that settles the matter. (//sarc)

Throwing mud at LDS faith doesn’t address the reality of the Ararat hoax, nor the series of threads breathlessly singing Hosannas over the rediscovered “Ark”. Get back to us when they claim to have dug up the actual timbers in Utah. No sarc at all.

You were saying ...

Ummm..., you may not be aware of it, but the guy that they are quoting in the article, in that he is critical of this discovery -- was, at the same time, on Mt. Ararat looking for Noah's Ark, too... LOL ...

Let's make it clear here ... the issue that is being discussed here is not whether Christians are gullible enough to search for Noah's Ark -- but -- that some Christians are gullible enough to jump at any "hoax" that some con artist is putting forth that it has been found, without checking out all the facts, first.

That's the problem that is being discussed here by Dr. Randall Price.

He is currently looking for Noah's Ark ... just to make that point again ... :-)

Here is an interview from this expert on this expedition and why it's most likely a "hoax" ...

May 1, 2010 - Hour 1

Eric Barger sits in for Jan who needed a weekend off. His guest is Dr. Randall Price who addresses the alleged recent finding of "Noah's Ark." Why is this likely bogus? Will it ever be found? Price has upcoming expeditions planned for Mt. Ararat and has made numerous attempts to find the Ark which have all failed to date. He feels he is close, however, to an amazing discovery. Would this be an end-time sign that the Bible is accurate? Remember, the "last days" are compared to the days of Noah. Find the spring conference CDs and DVDs Eric referred to here. They will be ready to ship in about two weeks. We also carry several of Barger's products in our "store." www.ericbarger.com -- www.worldofthebible.com

I would pay attention to this guy as he's been there, has been associated with that very same group, and also has been associated with that very same guide, whom he thinks is perpetrating a hoax, apparently ...
