    Most mountains were created by volcanoes. Mt Everest was not one of those, and yet there is deep sea fossils on the mountains tops. Yeah....keep trying to deny the Bible, eventually you'll regret it. But.....that's YOUR problem.

    The ark was found in eastern Turkey.

    If you believe those stories then I do not want to argue with you. The message they send is the important part.
    Obviously, you're already arguing. Over time water was absorbed and evaporated.....until the ark snagged on a peak in Turkey.

    Though many people assume the Flood lasted only forty days and forty nights, the Bible does not say that. When the days of the flood are totaled we find that Noah and his family, as well as the animals, were in the ark a total of 371 days. The Bible says the following about what occurred:

    Noah Leaves

    Bible tell us when Noah entered the ark:
    In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened (Genesis 7:11).
    The Bible also records when Noah and his family disembarked from the ark.
    And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, that the waters were dried up from the earth . . . and in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dried (Genesis 8:13,14).
    The people and animals were in the ark for over one year.

    No, it actually was not.

    As for the larger question of the Bible's inerrancy, the more one reads about the way the various books were compiled or came together in their present form, how the canon of scripture was established - are Catholics apostates and haters of God for presuming to have seven books in their Bible that you don't? - and how some of the stories from the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, are derivative of earlier, non-Christian myths, the less one is inclined to attribute any especially divine origin to that book.

    I'd probably get a threadban and a warning for answering that, so I'll pass on the straight line.

    So in other words your comment was a LIE. Everything that's ever been posted about the findings, the research, the excursions, have all said it was in Turkey.

    That's very interesting. Do you have a link to anything online on the subject?

    A whales head fossil was found 2300 feet above the sea level and eighteen miles inland from the present coast line of California.

    Sea life is as old a 4 billion years ago. The fossils can be any age. Carbon dating tells nothing after a few thousand years. They are guessing on dates.

    These stories were in every civilization and described the same things but on different time lines.
