Dude, Where's My Ark?
Morons around the world are rejoicing at the announcement of the latest (there have been many) discovery of Noah's Ark, this time on a mountain in Iran. According to some sources, the "discovery" was made by a group of Texas (surprised?) businessmen; others attribute it to "Christian explorer" Bob Cornuke. My favorite quote--and there are some beauties, believe me--is this one, ascribed to the aformentioned Texas businessmen: "I can't imagine what [the find] could be, if it's not Noah's Ark."
I imagine, of course, that he was shooting pistols into the air in celebration as he said it, and that he finished it off with a yee-haw! But seriously: to what question is "Noah's Ark" the most obvious answer?
Another stunningly stupid write-up of the non-event comes from the Christian Worldview Network. The folks over at CWN go to great lengths to point out that their articles are copyrighted, so I won't quote from this one. I will, however, point out that one of the sources they turn to to give these Ark ruins the thumbs-up for authenticity is none other than Mary Irwin, whose late husband was an Apollo 15 astronaut. Now, that's some competent journalism!
