You're correct in that regard. If I were to rephrase it, I believe that there is a chance less than zero that it could be the Ark and act as some form of proof, but then again it could be the world's first tourist trap.


Ok even if there were an arc https://sensuouscurmudgeon.wordpress.com/2012/11/13/top-ten-reasons-noahs-flood-is-mythology/
And also you forget the epic of gilgamesh.
Also its been debunked http://www.nbcnews.com/science/noahs-ark-found-not-so-fast-6C10404024
Even if that ended up still being the remnants of an ancient massive boat, you still have to consider that it doesn't even prove christianity, think epic of gilgamesh which is older than noah's ark tale, and even if it were noah's ark and the epic of gilgamesh agreed and it wasn't plagiarism, that doesn't even prove a god was behind it or real, especially not the christian one, does the ark have any crosses in it(despite religious symbols were forbidden in one part of the bible and condoned in others lol)?
Not to mention an acre of biblical contradictions http://infidels.org/library/modern/donald_morgan/contradictions.html http://infidels.org/library/modern/jim_meritt/bible-contradictions.html
The bible was flat earth https://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/febible.htm
Then you also have to consider ALL cultures used to be nomadic before farming and sedentary lifestyle, and I researched theology from each continent and all religions of humanized deities were post-sedentary. Genesis used to be an oral tradition scholars also say, so it was subject to chinese whispers/the telephone game. We can see the garden of eden also clearly happens before cain and abel's farming, and garden of eden speaks of eating of all the things of the land basically, thats obviously a reference to nomadicism and the stories that were more memorable were recalled over the facts.
Then if you read the art of war it explains the 'deity's' inconsistencies, like preaching genocide old testament then new testament peace. It was a tactical decision, and thats why they had a change of heart, and if their god were real, he said he was jealous and liked showing off his power, what greater opportunity than against an even larger nation? But no, suddenly he wants martyrs? It doesn't add up. Then the bible is also wrong historically, and even if you proved the ark did exist you didn't prove anything else did so assuming beyond that point is unfounded.

 

Absolutely zero chance the biblical deity is real, and whoever I tell this and doesn't accept it as an answer generally either doesn't understand it, abuses apologetics (which can be used in similar fashion against almost any contradictions you can think of for anything) or has too much to lose from losing their faith (think family, friends, a sense of community and purpose, elitism(gods chosen few), confidence, and ez forgiveness.)

 

And this I don't have direct proof for but from my observations christians tend to have a more angst-like negative world view, probably related to the satan is ruling earth spiel. I'm more of an optimist than that, and what interests me is fiction, and future science technology and novelty. Also if we look at how bad our wars are these days compared to the past, or medical malpractice and education etc the first world is generally doing a whole lot better, so the only thing really helping feed this negative world view is the sensationalist news.

 

Were we on the same side after all? Devil's advocacy?
