The truth behind Ron Wyatt's archaeological discoveries.

[Ebionite]

Now you are just name calling.

Your behaviour suggests otherwise.

There is no evidence to support the biblical account
of any supernatural event, including the "crossing",
so yes, believing it does mean you are being gullible.

You ignoring the evidence doesn't make me gullible.

 

[sooda]

Wyatt never produced any evidence.

 

[columbus]

Wyatt never produced any evidence.

Well, he sorta did.
Weak, but profitable, his vague pics and stories are evidence of a sort.
Compelling evidence, to people who are primed to believe.

And compelling evidence, however non-empirical, is the real definition of proof.

[Ebionite]

Educated people knew Wyatt was a joke long before he died.

Education and indoctrination are different things. It's not politically correct to show historical proof of deity, since modern democracy acts to replace deity as the dominant hierarchical model.

 

[Audie]

Wyatt never produced any evidence.

Dont bother, he's just gone into insult and falsehood
mode of "discussion".

 

[sooda]

Education and indoctrination are different things. It's not politically correct to show historical proof of deity, since modern democracy acts to replace deity as the dominant hierarchical model.

Wyatt had no proof of anything much less a deity. What are you talking about?

Wyatt was just another version of Hayseed Stevens who discovered the world's biggest oil reserve in Israel with a Bible and a water witch.. He never put down a borehole, but he bilked a lot of little old ladies out of their money over the next ten years.

 

[SkepticThinker]

What specific claim do you think that he made that was disproven?

That he found Noah's Ark.

 

[columbus]

Education and indoctrination are different things.

In what way?

I was educated from an early age that Jesus is Lord. I was also educated that Mother Mary was born without Original Sin.
Or, indoctrinated.

I was also educated in critical thinking.
Or indoctrinated.

Critical thinking won out in the battle for my mind, so now I believe that Jesus was a charismatic social reformer, in a primitive sort of way, but He's been dead and unimportant for about 2000 years.

Where do you draw the line between education and indoctrination? Please be specific.

This Wyatt guy has a pretty impressive record

By the time of his death in 1999, Wyatt claimed to have discovered several sites and artifacts related to the Bible and biblical archaeology. These included:

• Noah's Ark (the Durupınar site, located approximately 29 kilometres (18 mi) south of Mount Ararat)[2]
• Anchor stones (or drogue stones) used by Noah on the Ark[3]
• The post-flood house, grave markers and tombs of Noah and his wife[4]
• The location of Sodom and Gomorrah and the other Cities of the Plain: Zoar, Zeboim and Admah[5]
• Sulfur/brimstone balls from the ashen remains of Sodom and Gomorrah[6]
• The area of Djoser's pyramid complex believed to be the remains of Joseph's grain distribution bins used during the seven-year famine[7]
• The Tower of Babel site (in southern Turkey)[8]
• How the Egyptians may have built the pyramids[9]
• The site of the Israelites' crossing of the Red Sea (located in the Gulf of Aqaba)[10]
• Chariot wheels and other relics of the army of Pharaoh at the bottom of the Red Sea[11]
• The site of the biblical Mount Sinai (in Saudi Arabia at Jabal al-Lawz)[12]
• A chamber at the end of a maze of tunnels under Jerusalem containing artifacts from Solomon's Temple, including the Ark of the Covenant[13]
• The site of the Crucifixion of Jesus[14]
• Christ's blood in an "earthquake crack" beneath the crucifixion site, the DNA of which, according to Wyatt, contained only 24 chromosomes, 23 from his mother and the other from God, rather than 46[15]
• Burial pots off the coast of Ashkelon[16]

Ben Carson must be a Wyatt fan .. He claimed Joseph built the Pyramids to store grain.

 

[Ebionite]

Wyatt never produced any evidence.

Did you ever look at his work?

 

[Ebionite]

Wyatt had no proof of anything much less a deity. What are you talking about?

Wyatt was just another version of Hayseed Stevens who discovered the world's biggest oil reserve in Israel with a Bible and a water witch.. He never put down a borehole, but he bilked a lot of little old ladies out of their money over the next ten years.

Did Hayseed Stevens ever produce physical evidence of his discovery? Wyatt did.

 

[sooda]

Did Hayseed Stevens ever produce physical evidence of his discovery? Wyatt did.

Wyatt never produced any physical evidence either.

 

[Ebionite]

That he found Noah's Ark.

Did he actually say that he found Noah's Ark, or that he found remains that were consistent with Noah's Ark?

 

[Ebionite]

In what way?

Indoctrination involves teaching a particular doctrine, while education is objective about the subject matter.

 

[sooda]

Did he actually say that he found Noah's Ark, or that he found remains that were consistent with Noah's Ark?

Nope.. It was just a rock formation.

 

[Ebionite]

Wyatt never produced any physical evidence either.

He produced what he said was the fossilized remains of laminated wood.

 

[Ebionite]

Nope.. It was just a rock formation.

You're avoiding the question.

 

[sooda]

He produced what he said was the fossilized remains of laminated wood.

Right. He claimed gopher wood meant laminated.

 

[sooda]

You're avoiding the question.

First, let's debunk that famous rock formation. One of the most famous supposedly-Noah's-ark sites is the admittedly very boat-looking Durupinar site in the Mount Tendurek area in Turkey. According to Atlas Obscura, the site was exposed in the late 1940s after a series of earthquakes and storms.

Every Evangelical expedition finds THE ark.
