I got a barrage of emails over the past couple of days regarding a press conference claiming that Noah’s ark has been found on Mt. Ararat.
I have many friends who have been expedition organizers/participants on Mt. Ararat as they searched for Noah’s ark, and while I haven’t personally been there yet, I have been invited to participate in expeditions. After getting a second-hand email from Randall Price (who’s been on Ararat multiple times) giving cautioning words, I also phoned Dr. Don Patton to discuss the recent press release.
The Press Release:
You can read a report on the press release here:
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2949640/Noahs-Ark-found-in-Turkey.html
And the website for the Hong Kong search team:
http://www.noahsarksearch.net/eng/
The history:
First, you need to understand that this is the same team that claimed to have a piece of petrified wood, assumed to be part of Noah’s ark, taken from Mt. Ararat two years ago:
http://www.thepeninsulaqatar.com/Display_news.asp?section=local_news&month=january2008&file=local_news2008011955044.xml
After the 2008 press release, Dr. Patton and another friend of mine, Dr. Don Shockey (another long-time Noah’s ark researcher and Ararat explorer) flew to Hong Kong to meet with the Chinese team to discuss their findings, and see if they could possibly collaborate on research.
It very quickly became apparent that the “petrified wood” was simply volcanic rock, and not petrified wood at all. An honest mistake, but unfortunately, this particular piece of “wood” has resurfaced with the media hub-bub of this past week. This “petrified wood” was not the sample that was carbon dated, mentioned in this recent press release (more on that in a minute).
The person who “found” the site is a Turkish man by the name of Parasut, who has already been known to con ark researchers in the past, and it would appear that this particular case is no different. Parasut has been the “guide” for the Hong Kong team.

that environmental changes killed the dinosaurs)
In my last newsletter, you’ll recall I reported on a team of 41 international scientists who got together to finally decide that it was an asteroid or comet that killed off the dinosaurs during the cretaceous. In that report, I explained why they were wrong and why Noah’s flood was the most likely culprit for killing off the dinos.
Of course, the anti-creationist camp touted their usual mockings towards myself and my fellow creationary thinkers, claiming that the issue was obviously settled, seeing as how 41 scientists came to the same conclusion, obviously we creationists were wrong, and the “scientists” were right (as if being a creationist has anything to do with whether or not you’re a scientist).
Well not two weeks after my report, another team of scientists conclude that NO, it was not an impact that killed the dinosaurs, it was a sudden temperature drop:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/dinosaurs/7624014/Dinosaurs-died-from-sudden-temperature-drop-not-comet-strike-scientists-claim.html
Of course, these scientists are also wrong for a variety of reasons, but I’ll write about that later. I just want to point out that no, the issue is most certainly not settled amongst the evolutionary/old earth camp, and the reason for that is because they have denied the blatantly obvious conclusion that one would arrive at by examining the evidence: It was a global flood that killed the dinosaurs.
More to come in my upcoming CrEvo newsletter.

1) 41 Scientists finally figure out…?
Special thanks to all of my intrepid reporters (and a few atheists and assorted bad guys) who called my attention to this report last month. I apologize for being so late getting to it, but I was very busy in Newfoundland speaking in sooo many places it was dizzying!
So there’s these 41 scientists, see? And they got together to finally decide what on earth it was that killed the dinosaurs, see? So after much deliberation they concluded that it was, in fact, the Chicxulub impact that killed the dinosaurs, see?
Here’s a report here from Reuters:

1) Portable Museum: First shipping container arrives
2) Rotten Paleontology
3) CrEvo Rants, Volume II – now on DVD!
4) Nuther New Rant Uploaded!
5) Youtube channels you gotta see
6) Upcoming talks and tours
7) Another give away – Brock Lee’s brand-spankin’ new book!

1) Portable Museum: First Shipping Container Arrives.
Praise the Lord with me please! Thanks to the financial support of many people, I was able to get the first shipping container, which is now sitting in my mother’s driveway (please pray for my mother who has to put up with my antics), ready to be converted. To me, it’s a thing of beauty! A downpayment has already been made on the second container, identical to the first one:
It’s a 40′ long, insulated, climate-controlled “high cube,” which means that it is taller than your average container, as it’s 9’6″ on the outside. It was more expensive to get the insulated version, but it would have been about the same cost (because I would’ve had to have insulated a standard container anyway), but saves many weeks of hard work to insulate the containers.
“Climate controlled” means it already has heating and air conditioning built in. Again, assuming that I’m able to use these systems, then that also saves a whole wack of more time and money. When looking at the inside, just remember that with the walls sliding out four feet on either side, the interior size will almost double.
I am super “wired for sound” excited about this, please keep praying! And if you can, please chip in financially! I have to focus on paying for the second container before I can start major work on the containers. (more…)

This is the “When I get a round tooit” Creation/Evolution newsletter
from Ian Juby and the traveling Creation Science Museum of Canada.
Hey Happy New Year eh!
In this newsletter:
1) Texas Fishapod fry!
2) The Evolution of Avon
3) CrEvo Rants, Volume I now on DVD! (plus some new rants)
4) Portable Creation Museum update
5) Upcoming talks and tours
6) Long overdue give-away!
***********************************************************
1) Texas Fishapod fry!
Now I’m not a big fish eater, but I have to admit, the
first time I had Texas grilled Catfish, I loved it! So there’s no
better way to start off the new year then with a good fish fry, only
today, we’re going to fry some “fishapods.”
Bad year for Darwin
Welp, we’re just wrapping up the “year of Darwin,” which was supposed
to be a celebration of Darwin’s birthday, and his genius penned in his
earth-shaking book “Origin of the species.” Problem is, it’s been
a baaaad year for Darwin.
You’ll recall in several newsletters from the past year (1, 2 , 3)
that the mythological evolutionary tree has suffered repeated hacking,
uprooting, pruning and grafting. Well the subject of today’s
first story lops off a major branch….again!
The find is “very old” fossil footprints found in Poland:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/jan/06/fossil-footprints-land-animal
(complete with nice video from Nature magazine)
Also, a nice video on the find:
http://news.yahoo.com/video/science-15749654/17504589
Supposedly 395 million years
old, these footprints have toes and are similar in many ways to large salamander tracks. In layman’s terms, what this means from an evolutionary standpoint is that tetrapods (four-footed, four-legged creatures) were around 395 million years ago. (more…)
