How come I'm not suprised that this "find" comes from guys from Texas, and if you follow the links on their site, clearly Right Wing guys from Texas.  It's not a good sign when your "Scientific team" has a mission of "validat(ing) to the world that the Bible is ture, and that it represents an accurate, non-fictional account of God's will to bring the people of this world into relationship with Him."  Shouldn't your mission be...ummm, more...I don't know -- scientific?  Kind of like the anti-global warming "scientists" saying up front, "Our mission is to prove to the world that Global Warming was made up by Al Gore to help the terrorists take over America and make white people slaves to minorities."  I tend to trust less agenda-driven, and less Exxon funded science.  Or in this case, less "George Bush is our King David" driven "science."

I'm prepared for another "Piltdown Man."  Somehow, I doubt an ark the size of a small aircraft carrier could carry two of every animal in the world.  We need to call in the Daily Show "Wood Specialist," because I also don't think any wood, even the mythical "Gopher Wood," as the Bible calls the ark's material, could survive for tens of thousands of years.  Of course, if they are right, I'm fully prepared to count every word of the Bible as scientifically accurate and instructive, including: Living in a whale's stomach, a 5,000 year old earth, the "sun standing still" (wait, doesn't it always stand still, guess not...silly Copernicus), not shaving, and stoning adulterers.
