Currently Playing: No, Noah's Ark Was Not Just Found in Turkey

The Daily Mail says the resting place of Noah's ark is "100% confirmed" on a hillside in Turkey, which is very exciting unless you look at any of the evidence. On this "Artifacts and Fiction," the Dans dig into the new radar scans and core drilling at the Durupınar formation, and the awkward fact that a geophysicist who badly wanted it to be the ark already drilled this site in 1988 and hit bedrock. Plus: why Genesis never actually says "Mount Ararat," why the formation is far too wide to be the boat the Bible describes, and what the peer-reviewed geology has said since 1996. _______________________________________________ Get your Data Over Dogma merch at our online store: https://data-over-dogma-shop.fourthwall.com/ _______________________________________________ Support Data Over Dogma and get every episode early and ad-free, plus exclusive bonus content — become a patron: https://www.patreon.com/DataOverDogma _______________________________________________ Listen to the podcast on every app: https://pod.link/1681418502 _______________________________________________ Follow us: Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/dataoverdogmapod TikTok — https://www.tiktok.com/@data.over.dogma.pod Threads — https://www.threads.com/@dataoverdogmapod X — https://x.com/data_over_dogma Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/DataOverDogmaPod _______________________________________________ Get Dan McClellan's New York Times bestselling book, The Bible Says So: https://static.macmillan.com/static/smp/bible-says-so-9781250347466/ _______________________________________________ Chapters: 0:00 A Flood of Misinformation 1:36 The Noah's Ark Scans Videos 2:24 Ron Wyatt's Boat-Shaped Formation 4:35 Radar Scans and Right Angles 6:29 How Core Drilling Works 7:24 The "100% Confirmed" Headline 8:28 The Donate Link 9:52 They Drilled Here in 1988 12:08 How the Hype Plays Out 13:45 Why People Want It True 14:51 The Mountains of Ararat 18:27 A Boat on a Mountaintop? 20:05 Cubits and the Ark's Width 25:37 Can Wood Last That Long? 28:00 Radar, Drills, and Limestone 30:42 Even a Boat Proves Little 33:37 The 1996 Peer-Reviewed Verdict 35:36 Thanks for watching! _______________________________________________ #DataOverDogma #BibleScholarship #NoahsArk #Ararat #Pseudoarchaeology
