If you had a camera it would be a rather successful bukakke film Tongue

I remember a few years ago i saw a 'documentary' where they were looking for the Ark, they found and dated some wood under a mountain in Turkey to around 2500BCE and said that this confirmed it - In the same doco they were complaining about carbon dating Wink

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

I know. That happened again just a few months ago. Their "proof" was one shady shot of a guy in a wooden room staring at the side of it.

Yeah. They are utterly shameless but the fact is that if xtians are stupid enough to fund these con artists then they deserve to be fleeced.

But the Ark is real, I drove by it last weekend in the port of Dordrecht.

I've never understood why that sort of crap isn't illegal. If I sell cars and alter the odometer reading, I can get into trouble with the law-- that is known as fraud. Why do holy rollers, fortune tellers and psychics get a free pass?
