Researchers claim they have discovered Noah's ark

I am no engineer, but if the ship was buried as filler to build up the bank of the Hudson, why the hell are they digging it up now?

Because they didn't want to let Christians corner the news market on digging up ancient ships?

to the first point.

The second... Why are they digging it up now?

Aha -- you mean do I think it's really Noah's Ark? Uh, well, seems rather doubtful to me. I mean first there's melliedee's question about whether there was an actual physical ark as opposed to the story being allegory. Then if you get by that, there's also the stuff mentioned in the article about how people may have planted some artifacts there to fool the Christian researchers. Also you have a potential for bias (intentional or unconscious) on the part of those researchers themselves.

Seems a pretty iffy proposition to me...

I am sure my fundamentalist Mennonite/Anabaptist sister in law, whose most recent status update I just copied and pasted in the Facebook thread, believes it is a true and factual story.

Thanks, I'm having a great time!!!

And yes, I believe the account is true.
