God = Quo Erat Demonstratum, Bitches

This is simply wonderful. From -- and just try to twist your mind around this -- the Fox News Science section:
A group of Chinese and Turkish evangelical explorers say wooden remains they have discovered on Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey are the remains of Noah’s Ark.

Notice the discovery was made by evangelicals and not archaeologists or scientists. I wonder from what exalted institution these intrepid explorers hail?


Yeung Wing-Cheung, from the Noah’s Ark Ministries International research team that made the discovery, said: “It’s not 100 percent that it is Noah’s Ark, but we think it is 99.9 percent that this is it.”


The Noah's Ark Ministries International? Who needs independent verification when you've got the experts on the case!

MORE: Here's a better way of putting it:

Yesterday, when we first saw the Drudge headline that a group claimed to have found Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat, we were skeptical. Not because we don't believe in the biblical story, but because the Evangelical Christian group that says they found it is called "Noah's Ark Ministries International" and, unlike normal archaeology groups, has a vested interest in trying to prove the biblical story of the flood. It would be a little bit like if a Scientology group called, "No Really, Xenu Really Existed" was the one, not a geology group, to find evidence of the hydrogen bombs in Earth's volcanoes that blew up all the thetans.
