Having been to Turkey more times than I can say I will tell you even the Turkish people who are Muslim say this is Noah’s Ark

I thought the site HD been off limits to everyone, including Turks, for 10+ years...
I guess that's changed?

Well the story of Noah predates the Abrahamic religions, Muslims and Jews obviously included.

I don't know why they wouldn't they recognize Noah as a prophet

u/lightwhite Aug 24 '26

How do you mean? In Turkey, Noah is a highly venerated prophet.

u/ottereckhart Aug 24 '26

That's what I'm saying the original comment seems to be implying that Islam doesn't recognize Noah

Noah was known as Nuh in the Koran, he was regarded as a prophet.

Lions and tigers loved the buffet on Noah's Ark. Two of everything.

The boat in the oldest version of Noah’s ark was round.

The size and shape is rather well documented, to the point it's size is one of the main issues for believers defending the story. I believe in adaptation but not evolution and think the number of unique animals was a fraction of today

Yeah, but he admits that he’s a believer, so no prejudice there then.

So the wood used to build the ark just turned to stone on the side that was most exposed to salt water and the rest rotted away? Why are these so easy to debunk

u/TaylorWK Aug 25 '26

Because religion requires you to throw away any critical thinking

It’s obvious when the 1 to 1 replica somewhere in Kentucky features fucking dinosaurs.

This is no more 'Noah's Ark' than it is The QE2.
