This week we’ve examined claims of ark sightings that aren’t very convincing. So will we ever find Noah’s ark?

Well, Genesis says the Ark landed “on the mountains of Ararat” and that’s a huge area, which doesn’t help in the search. But the ark might not even be around to find anymore.

Noah and his family may have repurposed large amounts of the lumber for firewood or building projects.

Wooden structures, even if covered with pitch, don’t last very long without regular upkeep. The ark has likely decayed away in four and half thousand years.

So it’s not likely we’ll find the ark, but is that a problem? Come back tomorrow.
