Look, the OP made some idiotic, flat earth claims

I don’t know about the flat earth claims, but I always sympathize with someone who is excited about something that strengthens their faith (right or wrong), but fails to realize that faith, by definition and design, is something that cannot be proven. This is an example of good intentions/bad decision, in which God still accomplishes His will.

Talk about a long game.

I don't believe this anomaly will be shown to be Ark remnants.

I agree again. Not because I know anything. I just don’t expect it or many other things to be found/questions to be answered for you/me/us. There’s a trajectory. This would feel too soon if it were in a story with a perfect ending.

I applaud those Christian scientists who dedicate themselves to figuring out how God did it. And my own faith has been fortified by their work- and it’s a beautiful thing. But I caution anyone. The idea that someone’s faith in their personal relationship with Jesus would be determined by any man’s interpretation of rocks should cause concern.

quote:

The pseudoatheistic responses are just as stupid as the OP, though. Look for example at what a fool the pseudoatheist, northshorebamaman, made of himself in response.

No doubt. The only thing worse than holding an indefensible position (atheism, by definition) is defending it.

quote:

E.g., Were there ancient CATASTROPHIC floods?

More important, is the reason the question is asked.

I doubt that this discovery in and of itself will change that many hearts but I do think that God has a way of revealing himself and that this could very likely be part of it I mean finding the statue of Joshua in a multi colored coat

not "proof" per se but thought provocking

But, Earth is only 6000 years old. Right?

Say hello to our grandfather of roughly 15,000 generations ago, who lived about 315,000 years ago.

Unless his specific lineage completely died out hundreds of thousands of years ago, he is almost certainly a direct ancestor to all modern humans.

From Newsweek today:

quote:

We do not yet know what it was. Petrified or heavily mineralized wood is one possibility we want tested; a hard rock block within the surrounding debris is another.

“When I said in our release that these layers could be the decayed top-tier remains of the Ark, I was describing the hypothesis we are testing, not a finding."
