[MCgt1]

and do you people know what the meaning of the rainbow stands for?!

[ajs3939]

maybe theres more than one ark theres a lot of animals in the world

[ammieliesus]

Mar 10:27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

[paulofighters]

Mate, you are taking into account Tectonics, uplifting, erosion and weathering.

"The Ark" could've been laid at sea level and raised by uplifting of the surface. The Ararat area is an area known for tectonics, also it is very hard to justify water coming out of the surface, I mean below the surface.... that would lower the Earth's crust.

Your assumptions do not take the basics of Thermodynamics, how can a huge amount of water come from heavens and then vanish?

[patrickmcintyre]

Hello paulofighters-

These discussions are fun as long as we don't take ourselves too seriously. The earth could potentially hold enough water for 100 floods that could cover the tallest mountain. But there are pressure, heat and molten core issues. For the latest theory, you can read the National Geographic article at h t t p : / / n e w s . n a t i o n a l g e o g r a p h i c . c o m / n e w s / 2 0 0 2 / 0 3 / 0 3 0 7 _ 0 3 0 7 _ w a t e r w o r l d . h t m l Thank you for your comment.

[MCgt1]

@paulofighters and how come you doubt what GOD makes and unmakes?

[DDoyleReynolds]

Boat would not have to float up 13,000 feet. According to the Psalms, God raised the mountains and lowered the valleys. That's where the water "went." It's still here. Pressures of added water created great earthquakes and mountains poked up out of the water, and since the "bowels of the deep" were emptied, the oceans settled deeper as the land gave way and allowed the continents to be water-free. This is why you can also find sea shells in the High Sierras.

[roseforvendetta]

the waters we see now called ocean is from the great flood

[gloryboundkev]

good video.

[raran44]

The Ark was found resting 13000 feet up because that is where it rested after the flood. The whole Earth was flooded and as it dried, the Ark rested into mount Ararat.

[topcop0238]

Is that all you can do is go off of what the bible says? No one knows just how true the bible really is!! NO ONE! If you do believe that, then I have some poems written on toilet paper that I know are fact!

[BMWM3GTRLOVER]

does that mean the ark wasn't real?

[patrickmcintyre]

Hello BMWM3GTRLOVER-

I assume you meant to ask "does that mean the latest ark "discovery" wasn't real?" My video leaves open the possibility that the current "discovery" is a hoax. My video does not dispute that there was an ark and a flood. My video provides an answer to those who say a worldwide flood that covered all land could not have happened because they say there's not enough water on earth to cover the mountains.

[alanirissalas]

FABLES & FAIRYTALES – are very vaque “once upon a time in a land far away”

The book of Genesis very precise, it gives us exact details, exact date when the Deluge began, when and where the Ark came to rest, when the earth dried off. Details about the ark are also precise - exact measurements, layout and materials used to build the ARK.

[alanirissalas]

The formula that was used to build the ARK was 6-1, this is the same formula that is used by modern naval architects. This is evidence that the ARK story was a real event.

[alanirissalas]

(Genesis 1:6,7) - It explains where the floodwaters came from the Earth was surounded by water in the form of heavy vapor.(wather canopy) It gave the earth a uniform temperture.

Many scientist today agree that the earth at one time had a uniform climate.

French magazine Science et vie said regarding the frozen continent of Antartica

“this inhuman land, this desert of ice was once a green land where streams flowed among flowers, where birds sang in the trees.”

[jOWNZin22]

there werent mts back then... the mountains formed after the flood.

[Tylenole]

A tidal wave put it there duh

[MrsRoseSteven]

Hello Patrick,

I don't understand the last line ' 13 000 ft over the entire surface of the earth is less than 1 % of the earth' s holding capacity"

Well I 'm not a native speaker but does that mean that water could rise above the mountain peak in the case of flood lifting the ark to mount peak ?

Which means that even the highest mountain would be totally coverd, submerged ?

Is that right ?

Thank you for the video :)

[stupidvid]

those are your words and not the bibles.we as christians know that scientist are never going to agree with bible.Finding Noahs ark just shows that it really did happen but its not going to save you.there are better things to find out,like Gods kingdom.

Now i know you heard that

[jamesbreker]

keep reading the bible says the mountains arose then the water settled . could be

from volcanic activity ..... if we leveled the mountains in to the ocean there would be more than enough water to cover the earth. im not saying i believe this is the ark. it still could be a hoax for all i know.

[patrickmcintyre]

Hello jamesbreker-

Gen 8:4-14 says "And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat. And the waters decreased continually … And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried. Apparently, from the time the ark landed to the time the earth was dry enough to travel it took 7 months. Of course we don’t know how high the mountain was. Thank you.

[jamesbreker]

@patrickmcintyre

your right thank you.

[ARKSOLDIER7]

@patrickmcintyre wait what was the answer here?

[patrickmcintyre]

Hello ARKSOLDIER7

Gen 8:4-14 says "And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat. And the waters decreased continually … And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.

[ARKSOLDIER7]

@patrickmcintyre oh ok, i say the mountain could've have been formed after the flood. you know? like saying the earth was already flat enough that you could get a bout to immense heights

[GrandSupremeDaddyo]

This isn't my original source, but its figures are the same and it was easier to find.

Apologies for the convoluted way I had to post it. Youtube is not a fan of links it seems.

[patrickmcintyre]

Hello GrandSupremeDaddyo-

I'm off my lunch break so I will look at that site after work- Is that really a way to get around the youtube hyperlink problem? - thanks for the tip.

[patrickmcintyre]

Hello GrandSupremeDaddyo-

I think all the statistics could be reconciled. The site you suggested says the continental crust is 20 to 70 kilometers (13.2 to 46.2 miles) thick and the crust under the oceans is 5 to 10 kilometers (3.3 to 6.6 miles thick). Perhaps the average is 27 miles thick because they are using a divisor criterion we are not aware of.

[patrickmcintyre]

Hello GrandSupremeDaddyo -

More important than the crust is the mantle which is 1800 miles deep. "research has suggested that a zone between the mantle and the crust also contains a great deal of water." Read the National Geographic article at (using the new trick you sent me) h t t p : / / n e w s . n a t i o n a l g e o g r a p h i c . c o m / n e w s / 2 0 0 2 / 0 3 / 0 3 0 7 _ 0 3 0 7 _ w a t e r w o r l d . h t m l

[patrickmcintyre]

Hello GrandSupremeDaddyo-

Regarding water in the mantle, research seems to shows the possibility " that up to 180 kilometers deep, two kinds of fluids exist. One, at higher levels, is a fluid rich in water (70-90%) with only a little dissolved matter in it." The article is at h t t p : / / w w w . s c i e n c e d a i l y . c o m / r e l e a s e s / 2 0 0 5 / 1 0 / 0 51 0 1 6 0 9 1 3 1 1 . h t m

[GrandSupremeDaddyo]

The hypothesis of the video was that, given the great volume of material that comprises Earth, there would be enough water for the biblical flood.

We have now eliminated the core from contributing, and have established that the crust, at the very best of times, has little to no water, and definitely cannot bear the biblical amount of water the hypothesis requires.

[GrandSupremeDaddyo]

As for the crust itself, you say the average is 27 miles yet you concede that oceanic crust is 3-6. You do realise the mathematical implication of this don't you?

Assuming 70% of the surface is ocean. The non-oceanic crust would have to be at least 76miles thick!

[patrickmcintyre]

Hello GrandSupremeDaddyo-

I googled -how thick is the earth's crust - and got the following from a website called -wiki.answers-. The thickness of Earth's crust ranges from roughly 2 miles at the mid-ocean ridges to 70 miles in thickness under some continental mountain ranges, with an average overall depth of around 27 miles. I checked the US Geological site and others and couldn't find anything as concise so I used the wiki.answers- information. Is their information wrong?

[GrandSupremeDaddyo]

Must I really explain the difference between a theory and a hypothesis to you? We do know what's down there, the Earth's magnetic field alone is proof of the composition of the core. Seismic activity and research such as your Russian hole can attest to details of the crust.

The Marianas trench is the lowest point of the seabed. It's features do not support your argument.

[patrickmcintyre]

Hello GrandSupremeDaddyo-

Please cite your source of information for the thickness of the crust.

[GrandSupremeDaddyo]

Regardless of that, the video refers to the mass of the whole Earth. Now you've eliminated a vast portion of it in order to make the hypothesis scientifically viable - the video needs to be edited or succeeded to reflect your changes otherwise you are misleading people.

[patrickmcintyre]

Hello GrandSupremeDaddyo-

You are correct - if the magma theory is correct, I am misleading people. But the truth is, no one knows for sure what's down there. The Marianas Trench is about 7 miles deep and life exists down there. The Russian hole has water fossils at 6.7 kilometers under the surface of the earth. How can you say it's the exception? It's the only hole that deep. Thank you for your civility.

[GrandSupremeDaddyo]

The average thickness of the Earth's crust is around 7/8 miles. 27 is the thickest it gets but the most common is 6 miles thick. This is the only place the water for your hypothesis can come from. The discovery you mentioned is the exception that proves the rule: it was a significant find because there is a negligible amount of water in the crust.

[patrickmcintyre]

Hello GrandSupremeDaddyo-

You brought up the magma theory, so I am working within the constraints of the magma theory. No one knows for sure what's down there as was proven by the Russian hole. But according to the magma theory, the average crust thickness is 27 miles. I suggest you google -how thick is the earth's crust? - You must be thinking of the crust under the ocean which is according to the magma theory 3 - 6 miles thick.

[montanelly5]

and one more things - Ron Wyatt even mejured sizes and found metal riviet to join pieces of wood together wich does make sence at least how it was put together.

[montanelly5]

there is no proof that this wooden structure is ark, it may be something else, and carbon test is prooved wrong, dear author. If I would build my point, I would better go to Ron Wyatt clips here, on youtube, where he foun boat-shaped object 13 miles from mount Ararat itself, and his proofs and explanations are very convinsing

[GrandSupremeDaddyo]

Well, in short, there is no water beneath the crust. It is magma; molten iron and nickel, stuff like that.

Water is not dense enough to exist alongside those temperatures and pressures without being pushed to the surface in relatively no time at all. That's why we have geysers.

[patrickmcintyre]

Hello GrandSupremeDaddyo-

Those are good points. The reason why every well and the ocean is not a geyser is the magma is so far down. According to the magma theory, the average thickness of crust is 27 miles. If you google - damn interesting the deepest hole - you'll read the Russians found water and 24 distinct species of plankton fossils at 6.7 kilometers down. The article also recognizes the specific gravity issue you mentioned. Thank you for your civility.

[GrandSupremeDaddyo]

There still isn't enough water on/in Earth. Just because it is big doesn't mean you can say 'well there's bound to be enough in there somewhere.' On that logic you can expect to find sherbert on Jupiter.

The suggestion that this is scientific evidence of the flood is also ridiculous. Anyone with a high-school knowledge of geography can appreciate the immense and lasting impact such an event would have had on the environment. It would have left behind literally millions of tonnes of proof.

[patrickmcintyre]

Hello GrandSupremeDaddyo-

Please provide evidence that "there still isn't enough water on/in earth" to cover the earth to 13,000 feet. If you do the math, the earth could hold many such volumes of water (it would be 1/4 of 1% of the volume of the earth). Your last sentence refers to an obvious point. There should be abundant geological evidence of a worldwide flood if one happened. Things like trees standing up through supposedly millions of years of strata.

[windigo77]

Recent News? This hoax is infact a hoax. Check wikipedia.

[Klammerapfe]

If the ark is really found on Mount Ararat it would support evidence, that the Bible is correct, but it would falsificate the Qur'an. And that's what makes this finding explosive material, not to mention the impact on China.

[patrickmcintyre]

Hello Klammerapfe-

Genesis 8:4 says "And the ark rested ... upon the mountains of Ararat", or "Armenia".

Mohammed called the resting place Al Judi. Judi in Arabic can also mean "the heights" in which case it may not be referring to a specific mountain name at all. I am no lover of the Koran, but I find it hard to believe that Mohammed would depart from the Genesis account on purpose. Later "scholars" try to prove things from their doctrinaire positions. God bless you.

[Klammerapfe]

If this really is Noah's ark, then the Qur'an turns out to be false.

[YOuBenDover1]

I'm glad they found Noah's ark. Now we can hide in it during 2012. Yay!

[information213]

Praise God. He is alive. I would bot be surprised if it was Noah's ark. The Bible says it happened, just like the Bible is right about everything else.

[9ambrose9]

The present measured amount of water on the earth is 1.4 x 10 cubed kilometers. The volume of the earth is 4/3 pi r cubed or 735.2 x 10 cubed kilometers. That makes the percentage of water 0.2% NOT 1%

[patrickmcintyre]

Hello 9ambrose9-

Could you do me a favor? The question is what is the volume of 13,000 feet of water on the surface of a 7,000 mile diameter globe versus the volume of the 7,000 mile diameter globe. Can you figure that out for me? I just used the "less than 1%" because it's easy to remember. Thank you. Patrick

[9ambrose9]

@patrickmcintyre Yes at 7,000 miles the volume is 735.245 x 10 to the ninth cubic kilometers. At 6,995 miles, the volume is 702 x 10 to the ninth cubic kilometers. The difference of 33 x 10 the the ninth cubic kilometers is the volume of 13,000 feet of water (roughly). With present volume of 14 x 10 to the ninth cubic kilometers, hat's over twice the amount of water on the earth today.

[9ambrose9]

@patrickmcintyre sorry for the bad math. Radius of 3,500 miles and of 3,502.5 is the correct numbers. So the 3,500 mile radius figure is still 735.245. The 3502.5 mile radius volume is 736.5 x 10 to the ninth cubic kilometers. Making a difference of 1.4 x 10 to the ninth cubic kilometers. or .2 % of the earth's volume.

[patrickmcintyre]

Thank you 9ambrose9-

Using your revised figure, I could say that the amount of water to cover a depth of 13,000 feet above sea level around the earth would be less than one quarter of one percent of the storage possibility of the earth. This leaves 99.75% under the crust that need not be subterranean oceans. Thank you again for your calculations. Patrick

[patrickmcintyre]

Thank you 9ambrose9-

So putting together your two statements, I could say that the amount of water to cover a depth of 13,000 feet above sea level around the earth would be about one half of one percent of the storage possibility of the earth. This leaves 99.5% under the crust that need not be subterranean oceans. Thank you for your calculations. Patrick.
