There is abundant empirical scientific evidence that there was never a global flood, and as a consequence no ark. The flood story is FILLED with hyperbole that would have been recognized by its ancient audience as a figurative description of an event in order to produce an effect and make a theological point, and NOT an example of ancient journalism or accurate science. Also, that natural rock formation in Turkey often misidentified as a boat would be recognized by any professional geologist as a doubly plunging syncline and nothing more.
