Documentary about NAMI's discovery

Britain's Venerable Bede (keeping alive learning in the West during the Dark Ages)

From the time of Justin Martyr (early second century), intellectuals were among the first attracted to the Christian faith. Having founded and led almost all the world's schools and universities, Christianity's dominance in learning continued until the nineteenth century with the rise of what was coming to be known as scientific scholarship. Scientists have now replaced Christian ministers as the Western world's recognized authorities for matters of truth.

What enabled this change was the fact that science itself sprung from within the faith, specifically in Protestant countries intent on championing the Bible and science against what they saw as Catholic superstition and darkness. The Fundamentalist controversy arose early in the twentieth century when Protestants at last recognized the growing conflict between science and the Bible. 

The shift was not as many believe today due to Darwin, but his mentor, Charles Lyell. With Lyell, science came into popular use as a type of understanding that deliberately avoids theology. More important, Lyell's re-interprtation of diluvian (from the Flood!) remains as a long era in the history of early man became the foundation of the scientific history of man. These water-laid remains would soon be interpreted as a frozen Flood - the Ice Age, something that Lyell and Darwin themselves rejected in favor of tidal waves as the cause of these remains. Notwithstanding his misgivings, Lyell's artificial divisions of these deposits continue to inform the modern understanding of early man.

Then came the Scopes trial. The only scientific explanation that William Jennings Bryan could offer for Genesis was the Flood geology recently invented by George McCready Price. Astonishingly, Price embraced the Ice Age. The Adventist scientist needed the Flood to explain the deeper deposits of organic remains in an earth created in six 24-hour days. He had to treat what was formerly understood as diluvian remains to the period after the Flood. That created problems still with us today: where are the remains of those who perished in the Flood, and how do we connect the Bible to the early remains of man? Read more.

So asked an old acquaintance just after I answered her question about what I was doing. Most of us have the same reaction. We have long heard reports about satellite photographs and rock formations that seem to have the shape of Noah's Ark. In earlier days, we heard about wood pieces found above the tree line on Mt. Ararat. More interesting were the reports of some who claimed to have visited the site of the Ark, but could not tell us just where on that mountain those remains were to be found. So, what is different about NAMI's announcement.

The short answer is that no one needs imaginative help to understand that the evidence NAMI has given looks as if it may have been the Ark. The more we see of it, the more sophisticated and the more like the biblical description of Noah's Ark it appears than anything we might have imagined. More astonishing is that, unlike the reports of recent years where an actual site has been identified, this one is so very high on the mountain - the  only mountain in the world matching the biblical account of Noah's Ark. There are deeper and scientific reasons for trusting this report as outlined in the Epilogue of my recent book.
