Departed from America, you say?
I see you and your Bible disagree... and what's more, the native history here disagrees with you, as well. Have you been taking History According to Brent, perhaps?
Also, I agree on the "Lifetime Achievement" award. This must be some kind of record for ignorance.
Get outta town, chump. The flood was local, otherwise the Mayans, Chinese and other old cultures would have record of it.
Where did this alleged Noah build his alleged scow, anyway?
[Mt Ararat has a rock formation that fooled many people into thinking that there was something ship-like imbedded in the mountain.]
Awesome! Noah's Ark bent space and time! We'd better get to work finding it, it could hold the key to actually viewing the beginning of the universe and solving this debate once and for all!
Oh, and it'd make a handy place to store all our junk, too.

OK. I think it's safe to say that this... this is decidedly odd.
Oh, and to quote a Nathan Poe:I sincerely hope you're referring to the replica, not the original.
This guy is gold:
I'm referring to the real McCoy. It had to start somewhere. We know where it ended up, but not where it started out. Sigh.
I laugh at your ignorance.
AV1611VET, you are a DUNCE. Christians hate you. Or, at least, the people here do. Else, they laugh at you. As I am now.
America? Just admit it, you have no idea where Noah left, how he got every animal in world on his boat, how he built it in a year, how he managed to care for all those animals and keep a sanitary enviroment with no help besides his family, why the dinosaurs are extinct when nothing else is, why billions of marine organisms are extinct, how the dove found it's way back to the Ark, how all the animals got back to their original homes, and where all the water went.
Next, you'll be saying they shot portals from the middle east to America and back.
I expect shooting portals will become popular in explaining bible myths. You're welcome.
How is it even possible to speculate on the departure point of the Ark? The Bible says almost nothing on the subject. (Although if Noah really did have a daughter the way Madeline L'Engle described her in Many Waters I'd want to hit it. Even if she was only 4'5".)
Nick:
Because they're intellectually bankrupt language bigots who worship the Bible as much or more than they worship God. The KJV has all their favorite code words, and modern translations don't because those codewords have changed their meanings over the years; any other whining about "taking Jesus out of the Bible" or whatnot are just post hoc rationalizations for their prejudices.
So....ah...if the Ark departed from 'MURRKA, where did Noah find the Elephants, and Giraffes, and Monkeys, pray tell.

"I think you have the Ark confused with the Queen Mary 2 or something."
Or even the KM-1 Ekranoplan, the 'Caspian Sea Monster':

Confused?
