Don't know if you saw it,

but there was an article on FOXNews, http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/04/27/noahs-ark-found-turkey-ararat/,

complete with at least one picture, of the new Noah's arc discovery on Mt Arrarat. OR, as I would rather call it, a gullibility test. I'm sure the 'news' is still out there and some people believe it. Some people will believe anything. AND, there are those who take advantage of them....

OK, so a supposed large structure was found at elevation. Does that conclusively prove or disprove worldwide floods or maybe suggest that living animal species can be traced back to origins near Mount A? Does it upset the tilt of the planet? I suspect it only causes zealots on both sides of the "historical fact" issues to just spread more propaganda.

In the end, if Fox says so, it must be true!

Isn't it hard for the literalists to use carbon dating to prove their find is 4800 years old when they've previously discounted carbon dating, mainly saying that the earth is just a little over 2000 years old?

Every few years the 'arc' is supposedly discovered, and the faithful jump on it and say, 'See, I told you so', then when it's proved false, they ignore the news. There is NO WAY that myth could ever be substantiated, but, like I said, the gullible will keep looking for proof, to support their mythology. IF there were ever a worldwide flood, there would be archeological signs of it. There are NONE! It just shows how some people can suspend their brains to support what they WANT to be true.

I would guess the melting of the end of the ice age would cause major flooding at various places; worldwide, doubtful. Noah's Ark, legend, I believe. If there was flooding, would have been in that region and would have been just the animals of that region on the Ark. One has to remember the size of the "world" would be the area of which one lived. The Jewish religion had many teaching aids and stories and many, I believe not based on fact, such as Jonah.

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
