I just caught a few minutes of a show on the History Channel called "The Search for Noah's Ark". I didn't even see enough of it to know what the claim may have been. Dozens of people have searched for the Ark over the years. Although there have been a lot of claims, speculations, and of course a conspiracy theory or two, there is as yet no ark.
So the question remains, can/will we ever find Noah's Ark?
No way. And here is why.
1. Most people look for it on Mount Ararat and haven't found it. In fact, the Bible says that the ark came to rest on "the mountains of Ararat" (Gen 8:4), referring to the entire range, which is a huge area.
2. The mountain range is covered with snow and glaciers which move constantly. Anything that was there would have been torn to pieces by glacial movement a long time ago.
3. The most compelling reason for not finding it is from Hugh Ross's "The Genesis Question" (1). After the flood, everthing was destroyed, so they needed to rebuild. The ark would have been a ready supply of high-quality wood, already cut and ready to use. It is almost inconceivable that they would not have torn it apart to start building houses, barns, fences, and everthing else they needed to get civilization going again.
Of course, God could have preserved the ark and they could find the it tommorow, proving me completely wrong. To which I would say, He is God and I am not.
