Some Christians defend any questions about this story by saying that it is just an analogy and not meant to be taken literally…. and then some Christians claim to have found the Ark… That’s the trouble with people who already want to believe they’ll find something… They usually do find it, and if it’s not what they expected, they’ll bend the findings to suit their beliefs.
Science on the other hand, learns from mistakes.
Anyway, there’s a shocker… People in the same circles and same factions of the same religious faith both have contrary views…
Surely there would be a trail of skeletal remains leading from Mount Ararat as the animals moved out from the Ark to their final destinations, breeding & dying and breeding and dying on the way… At least a few odd discoveries … But no… None…
Species diversity & distribution just doesn’t point to the flood ever happening.
Anyway, much like other supposedly tangible religious artefacts, there is no physical proof….
Still, not wanting to shoot the idea down just on the basis of animal remains for one thing, then how about the physical engineering plausibility of building an ark? If only someone would make one…. and then have to resort to modern materials… and then still find that it still wouldn’t work…. Oh yes… SOMEONE DID…
Science manages to back itself up with proofs and new discoveries year in and year out, whilst religious groups fail to find anything to prove what they preach. They prefer to attack and undermine others, rather than rise above it all with their own ‘proofs’ (ha, good luck with that then). Odd that. It’s almost like religion is based on cloud cuckoo fantasy…
