Activist Involved in 'Noah's Ark' Search Vows to Rewrite Evolution Narrative

Activist Involved in 'Noah's Ark' Search Vows to Rewrite Evolution Narrative

Summary

A group of U.S.-based researchers is investigating a boat-shaped rock formation in Turkey, called the Durupınar Formation, to see if it might be the remains of Noah’s Ark. They believe finding the Ark would challenge the scientific theory of evolution and have called for changes in school teaching if proven true. The evidence is not yet confirmed by other scientists.

Key Facts

  • The Durupınar Formation in Turkey is about 515 feet long and shaped like a boat.
  • A U.S. group called Noah’s Ark Scans is testing samples from the formation to find wood or other proof of the Ark.
  • The group believes finding Noah’s Ark would challenge the theory of evolution, which says species change over millions of years.
  • Lauren Witzke, fundraising director for Noah’s Ark Scans, says they want school curriculums rewritten if they prove the Ark’s existence.
  • Andrew Jones, founder of Noah’s Ark Scans, says radar images show "organized patterns" under the formation that might be man-made.
  • Radar specialist Khosrow Bakhtar described structures inside the formation that he said look “extraordinary” and “organized.”
  • No wood or firm evidence of the Ark has been found yet, and the radar data has not been peer-reviewed by independent scientists.
  • The scientific community says evolution is a key part of modern biology and has strong support from many studies.
