how do you figure? If they do find the ark on top of the mountain, it would prove that the flood really happened b/c how else would you get a boat of that size up there? It had to float up there (meaning that the water level was at the altitude where the ark sits) or it wouldn't be up there at all. This thing is about 700 feet long and 3 decks high.</font>


Hehe, going by that view Page, whoever reckons the pyramids were made by Aliens has us over a barrel then.

Besides, if high-school students can weld a car wreck around a school flag-pole overnight(happened next school over from ours), then I'm sure there's someone out there with the savvy for putting boats on mountains.

The mountain could have developed after the boat got stuck in there you know. Maybe it get stuck on a small hill but earthquakes and landmass movement shifted everything around.

>Right... a hill turns into a mountain and the ark survives mountain building relatively undamaged. Mountain building takes millenia, and under normal conditions, a wooden structure like the ark would rot away long before a small hill was geologically formed into a mountain. The only reason why the ark hasn't rotted away by now is that it is mostly encased in ice with only a small part exposed.


Maybe some ancient larrikin had a read of the bible and decided to to build something on the moutain to screw with all the future zealots.

>Building a boat of that size on a mountain would be difficult today even with modern technology. For one, how would you get the raw materials up the mountain using ancient techniques? We are talking TONS of lumber here.
The only feasable explanation would be that the boat was built somewhere else and deposited on the mountain by receding waters.


Or of course it could have been the same aliens that built the pyramids [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]

>Of course. That makes perfect sense. It takes more faith to believe that than it takes to believe the flood really happened.

welding a car around a flagpole is not even in the same league in terms of difficulty as moving a huge boat up a very treacherous mountain without the aid of water, assuming it could be done at all even with modern technology.

This is still my favourite theory, which I would agree with the most... because its logical and funny. Hell, i'd do something like that for a prank if i had the resources available.

Eh? Putting a boat on a mountain isn't hard. You'd just have to helicopter in parts and build it on the mountainside. The only problem is that there really is...no point..

Indeed. I can't understand why people would want to waste their lives to "prove" something that they new to be false. That theory makes no sense.

Wrong. It was a flood. It didn't last hundreds of years. If it did last hundreds of years, THEN you might find some fish fossils baried in the EARTH.

It doesn't have to last hundreds of years. Walk along a beach sometime, particularly one where the water levels change frequently, and you're more than likely to find dead fish.
