This is an example of argument from silence stated up front
“We will go so far as to say that the location of the Ark’s ruins was
well known in the region
up until about the end of the first millennium A.D… Consequently, over the millennia, pilgrims carried off pieces of the
Ark for relics and talismans as
would be expected…”
•Bill Crouse – Bible
& Spade Vol. 19 No. 4
Can you imagine how many relics could be produced from Noah’s Ark? Even
if they were hacked into
1-cube foot sections and it were extent, you are talking about tens of thousands of relics?
Assume only 1-foot for the construction of each floor, roof, and wall
without any cages that would be
about 182,500 cubic feet of potential “relics”
Where are these 182,500 relics because the only one ever mentioned throughout history is in the Armenian Echmiadzin?
And the one at Echmiadzin is supposedly from a very inaccessible location
on Mt. Ararat
