That's an idiotic statement set. Your sensibility seems to be deteriorating faster than wolfie thinks the Ark has.
Since you seem to be hot on the subject of evidence, provide some evidence that the environment on top of Ararat, a mountain of less than 17,000 feet elevation, is equivalent to the environment at the south pole, which is what Wolf's comment about Captain Scott means. Apparently, you are unaware that Captain Scott was an English explorer who tried to be the first man to reach the south pole, but failed when a Norwegian got there before him, and then he (Scott) died on the march back to his base camp.
What evidence to you have that the environment on top of Ararat is equivalent to the environment at the south pole?
Quote:Quote:Wolfe's comment about no chance of survival is about the remains of a wooden vessel on top of the mountain an alleged 5000 years or more later, not a comment about the survival of life. But then, fuzzy thinking is your strong suit, no?
I figured wolf was headed there (or that one like you would come running to his rescue), but wanted to be sure. Wolf provided no evidence as to why remnants of the Ark would/could not have
survived in the 'mild' environment - and you provided no evidence of this while coming to his aid. Are you positive that no remains of the wood used on the Ark could have survived the tropical environment atop the hill under any circumstance?
(That's a straw man, in case the nickel didn't drop for you)
Neither Wolf nor i alleged that the environment atop Ararat is "mild," or "tropical." Your attempts to sneer are as pathetic as what passes for logic at your house.
To recap, since you either didn't get it, or are attempting to ignore it--Wolf's point is that Scott's wooden shack in Antarctica has rotted away, in a climate much harsher than that atop Ararat, and has done so in one century. Yet the "Noah's Ark" loonies want to believe that a wooden boat lying atop (allegedly) that mountain, is going to have survived for thousands of years. My point in providing a link about extremophiles was to point out that bacteria can survive in far harsher climates than one finds atop Ararat.
Quote:Quote:The area is not "classified."
No one said this.
I do beg your pardon. A handful of photographs taken by the United States Air Force in the period 1956-1992 were classified. By no means have all, or even a significant fraction of the photographs which have been taken of Ararat been classified--just a few photos by the legendarily paranoid United States Air Force. Of course, it's easy to cherry-pick what i've written, so as to isolate a portion and attempt to argue against it.
Quote:Quote:Some photographs taken by American aircraft and satellites were classified "secret" (and not even "top secret") in the period 1956 to 1992. That is not to be wondered at, as the mountain lies in the border region between Turkey--a NATO member--and what was once the Soviet Union. The alleged anomaly had been photographed many times since then, and the DIA (the Defense Intelligence Agency of the United States) has declare that their analysts consider it to be facades in glacial ice.
Please provide evidence of your points here.
Two points--one is that you have provided no evidence that there is an "anomaly" atop that mountain; two is that i asked you first--see below.
Quote:Quote:If you really think there is anything there, how about providing us a source?
An idiotic question. Where did I make any such inference?
I asked you if you think there is anything there--i did not state that i had inferred it, although one does wonder why you allege that there is an "anomaly" atop Ararat and ask questions about it, if you do not in fact believe that there is "something there."
At all events, as has been pointed out, it's your thread, and as well, i asked first--what evidence do you have that there is any sort of "anomaly" atop Ararat?
