Scientists discover wooden structure believed to be Noah's Ark
They found it!
Ok. Most likely not, but to my wife, it doesn't matter. The story above is all the rage at the church my wife attends right now. When she told me real scientists have found the remains of Noah's Ark at the top of Mt. Ararat, I thought, how did this escape the news?
Well, the only links to the story I could find are on religious web sites. Imagine that.
Anyway, it's stories like this that really get my goat. Not that my wife isn't a fundie already, but crap like this just reinforces her beliefs. Now she's got my daughter talking about how we are all decedents from Abraham. Ugh!
Does anyone have anything out there that puts a shadow of doubt on this story? Blow the cover. Shows the fallacy. Anything? The fact that the real media hasn't picked it up isn't enough.
Please help. I need to set my daughter straight. My wife is a lost cause...

They already debunked it 2 weeks ago when an ex coworker of the evangelical scientists explained how they faked the footage

I think this is about the fifth time in the last ten years I have heard the fundies try and resurrect this same bullshit story. I remember a long discussion thread on it over at Ev/C Forum about 3 years ago. The was a ton of evidence brought forward to debunk it. Basically, a few scraps of wood up on a mountaintop. Not much different from seeing the virgin Mary in a pizza...

This story was reported on many skeptical websites back in April.
