To be fair to Ron Wyatt, Joseph, you have understated his credentials for he was in fact not just a nurse but, in point of fact, a well regarded nurse-anesthetist.  You have forgotten to include the indisputable fact that he also has his own devoted Wikipedia internet page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Wyatt

 

I hope this will help to provide a much more balanced view of this man who is quite highly regarded in a rather small, yet decidedly illiterate circle of devotees.  Thank you.

Lol, I just realized this was posted as an April fools prank.  Sorry, for a second I thought someone was taking this video seriously and not actually realizing the satire it presented of fundamentalist Christianity.

I just thought you posted it a bit early as an April Fools joke. You mean you actually buy into this kind of nonsense? A nurse anesthestitist finds some wood on a mountain and you think it's proof of the literality of an ancient Sumerian myth? For real?

Face-palmed my head  so hard my brain fell out.

I found the "Holy Grail" it is sitting next to my coffee cups.

And the "Arc of the Covenant" was buried in my garage.

These videos/claims have more holes in them than good swiss cheese.

I have enjoyed following science most my life.

They dare to call this shit science...really???

The funniest part is how they throw some fine print on the title screen that says, "Scientists prove..." but then they go on to produce the video about a bunch of guys with zero scientific credentials who didn't submit anything for peer review.  It's actually kind of sad to see people buying into this bunk, and even more pathetic that this is their "best evidence."

i must have missed the part where it said scientist prove? you dont need to be a scientist to have lab testing done. Or to see the anchors, but they never said they where scientists. Ron wyatt was indeed a nurse anesthetist.

@Dara - If you missed the part where it says "scientists prove" then just scroll up and look at the intro screen to the video, now look at the bottom of that screen, you should see some white letters forming a sentence down there, the first two words in that sentence are 'scientists prove' - do you see that now?

 

Now I, or anyone else for that matter, could indeed dig down until we found some piece of petrified wood and ship it off to a lab and pay to have it dated.  If the date came back as 6000 years old it would mean that we found a 6000 year old piece of wood - although that still wouldn't say much.  To then suggest that the technicians who did the dating are scientists who support our theory that the piece of wood came from a boat that held 40,000 or more animals would be nothing more than a ridiculous and unfounded claim.  Do you even have any idea how preposterous the genesis version of the deluge of gilgamesh really is?

One might also wonder which ark Noah built, or if he built all of them:
