On a 13,000' mountain in Turkey some claim that Noah's Ark has been found. Anytime anyone finds something and it is called a religious artifact, chances are it isn't. I would have a hard time believing Father Yahweh would allow this. The reason for this is because it would become an idol. It would seem there is an overwhelming desire by most Christians to attach themselves to an idol of some sort. Somehow they think it makes them closer to God, when the opposite is true. Examples of idols could be things like the Shroud of Turin, Many locations and objects in Palestine, and of course this recent alleged finding of Noah's Ark.

Many have been mesmerized by this shape on the ground and have incorporated the idea of it actually being the Ark into their faith. It is not a requirement to believe that any object on the earth to be an object associated with the bible to be a Christian, however, the Christians that worship these things will argue with you tooth and nail on the authenticity of these objects.

The finding of this stony structure on a mountain in Turkey is no different. There are many different reasons on why I feel this is not Noah's Ark and I list a few here.

Only when you look at it from one angle it looks remotely like a boat, this is why you will never see another picture of this shape from another angle.

It's on a mountain that is over 1,600 miles away from the Tarim Basin where Noah's flood actually was.

There is not enough water on the planet to float any water vessel to this height.

It's claimed that the mountain is called Ararat the same as in the bible. However the name of this mountain was only recently changed to Ararat from “Mount Massis” therefore there are no people from bible times that would have known this mountain by this name.

I once lived in Alaska and have seen things like this before in the mountains, so it's not an unusual site for me.

If this shape on the ground had ever been a sailing vessel at all then it is shaped like it's tapered on the ends and it would have had a keel. A keel is a design that is built into a boat to give it speed, like a sailing vessel in which the bible doesn't mention the Ark having a Keel incorporated into its design because Noah had no place to sail it to.

It's way more practical of a design to build a rectangular ship for stability reasons.

This picture of this Ark design originally came from the 1520 Geneva bible.

This shape on the ground is exactly 515 ft. in length which would be equal to 300 Egyptian cubits however, the bible doesn't say Egyptian cubits. I believe it is most likely built based on Hebrew Sacred Cubits which is 28", so it is more likely the Ark of Noah would have been 700' instead of 515'.

It's unknown by me if there had been any history of glacier activity on this mountain, if there had been then it would have destroyed any structures on the mountain including an Ark. I actually tried to research this on the internet but did not have any luck.

The Turkish Government is making money on tourists going to see this. This in itself is motive to falsely claim this shape is Noah's Ark.

The reason people believe this is because for some reason they want to see Noah's Ark or evidence of some other miracle when miracles are all around you. 

When people make suggestive statements people have a tendency to see whatever they are suggesting. If you came upon this shape on the ground any place else in the world than this mountain then common sense would tell you it is was not a ship.

Until people realize that something as simple as a blade of grass growing (which actually defies the first two laws of Thermodynamics) is a miracle, then and only then, will Christians stop running around the planet trying to see a sign of a miracle.

Sometimes you can't see the forest because all the trees are in the way.

Praise the Lord!
