there are port cities at 12,000 ft in peru, and there is water damage on the sphinx.
Perhaps (AND JUST OPEN YOUR MIND FOR THREE SECONDS PLEASE) humanity has been on earth for longer than we think.
the truth is that no one really knows whether or not there was an ark. the fact that some people choose not to believe it is a prime example of close-mindedness. why not believe it?
people who tell lies are quickly thwarted by someone who asks questions. if you ask a question to someone and they cannot answer it, they are either lying or talking about something that they do not know. how do you know that the person who tells you that the ark never existed is lying or not? the only way to know something is to find out for yourself, and the only way to begin finding out for yourself is accepting that you are ignorant except for the garbage that you have been fed your entire life.
i for one choose to believe things until they are proven wrong, just like math, the language of truth.

Nobody denies that arks existed, but there is no way that a pair of every species of beast and insect on earth were all on an ark. This would be physically impossible, even today, on modern vessels.

The bible also tells us that a whale swallowed a man to save him from drowning, a snake talked, people came from "dust", and all sorts of other nonsense. To reject these claims is not "ignorant".
