Apr 27, 2010 Noah’s Ark Found at 13,000 foot Level on Mount Ararat

London Sun had this on Noah’s Ark found in Turkey: The remains of Noah's Ark have been discovered 13,000ft up a Turkish mountain, it has been claimed: “A group of Chinese and Turkish evangelical explorers say they have found wooden remains on Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey. They claim carbon dating proves the relics are 4,800 years old — around the same time the ark was said to be afloat.” The story quoted Yeung Wing-Cheung, from the Noah's Ark Ministries International research team, who said: "It's not 100 per cent that it is Noah's Ark, but we think it is 99.9 per cent that this is it." He added that the structure contained several compartments, some with wooden beams, that they believe were used to house animals.

The group of evangelical archaeologists ruled out an established human settlement on the grounds none have ever been found above the 11,000 foot level in the vicinity. Local Turkish officials will ask the central government in Ankara to apply for UNESCO World Heritage status so the site can be protected while a major archaeological dig is conducted. The article cites the story which says that God decided to flood the Earth after seeing how corrupt it was. Then, He told Noah to build an ark and fill it with two of every animal species. After the flood waters receded, the “Bible says, the ark came to rest on a mountain, which is believed to be Mount Ararat,” the highest point in the region.

Comment: It could be but there are a number of critics questioning this reported find.

New York Times had a report by Wiliam Neuman and Andrew Pollack that Farmers Cope With Roundup-Resistant Weeds. The focus of the report was on Eddie Anderson, a soybean farmer in Dyersburg, Tenn. The story noted that “Just as the heavy use of antibiotics contributed to the rise of drug-resistant supergerms, American farmers’ near-ubiquitous use of the weed killer Roundup has led to the rapid growth of tenacious new superweeds. To fight them, Mr. Anderson and farmers throughout the East, Midwest and South are being forced to spray fields with more toxic herbicides, pull weeds by hand and return to more labor-intensive methods like regular plowing.”

Anderson said that “We’re back to where we were 20 years ago… We’re trying to find out what works.” Andrew Wargo III, the president of the Arkansas Association of Conservation Districts, said that “It is the single largest threat to production agriculture that we have ever seen.” Per the report, the first resistant species to pose a serious threat to agriculture was spotted in a Delaware soybean field in 2000. Since then, the problem has spread, with 10 resistant species in at least 22 states infesting millions of acres, predominantly soybeans, cotton and corn. “The superweeds could temper American agriculture’s enthusiasm for some genetically modified crops. Soybeans, corn and cotton that are engineered to survive spraying with Roundup have become standard in American fields. However, if Roundup doesn’t kill the weeds, farmers have little incentive to spend the extra money for the special seeds.”

Comment: So here we have a history of using more and more toxic poisons to try weeds. We destroy the land to try to get a crop just one year.
