Remains of Noah's Ark found?

[b]'Noah's Ark' found in Turkey[/b]

THE remains of Noah's Ark have been discovered 13,000ft up a Turkish mountain, it has been claimed.

A group of Chinese and Turkish evangelical explorers say they have found wooden remains on Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey.

They claim carbon dating proves the relics are 4,800 years old — around the same time the ark was said to be afloat.

According to the Biblical tale, Noah filled the ark with two of each animal species.

Yeung Wing-Cheung, from the Noah's Ark Ministries International research team, said: "It's not 100 per cent that it is Noah's Ark, but we think it is 99.9% that this is it."

Dig

He said the structure contained several compartments, some with wooden beams, that they believe were used to house animals.

The group of evangelical archaeologists ruled out an established human settlement on the grounds none have ever been found above 11,000ft in the vicinity, Yeung said.

Local Turkish officials will ask the central government in Ankara to apply for UNESCO World Heritage status so the site can be protected while a major archaeological dig is conducted.

The biblical story says that God decided to flood the Earth after seeing how corrupt it was.

He then told Noah to build an ark and fill it with two of every animal species.

After the flood waters receded, the Bible says, the ark came to rest on a mountain.

Many believe that Mount Ararat, the highest point in the region, is where the ark and her inhabitants ran aground.

I think it is very intriguing that remains of the ark may still be preserved, but one has to ask if this should have any effect on our faith or confidence in God. I remember Jesus' parable of the rich man and Lazarus. Though someone come back from the dead, yet will they not believe. If it were the ark, I would love to see it fully explored for interest sake, but either way my faith and confidence is in the Lord.

Luk 17:26\tAnd as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man:

Almost every day we can find something in the news that evolutionists push to substantiate their faith. Could it be that God has revealed once again His ark to man, in the hope that some would repent?
