Noah's Ark "Find"

It is purported that a couple of evangelical archaeologists have discovered the remains of Noah's Ark in Turkey. I hope evangelicals do not embrace this archaeological find too quickly because these type of "discoveries" get sensational and hyped up, and thus believers are too readily to point to the world and say "aha!" see...the Bible is true! Then when it is disproved, the cause of Christ and the biblical witness is tarnished.

Besides, I am highly skeptical of this find in Turkey, since the Bible most likely places the ark in the mountains of Iran:

  3. The website authors are not claiming they have found Noah's Ark. They only say that it is a live option for them, given their data.
