Fox claims Noah's Ark was "found 2,000 years later" in reference to missing Malaysian flight

As part of the network’s coverage of the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, Fox News’ Bill Hemmer acknowledged what many have come to believe: it may be a long while before we know with any confidence what happened to this plane. What make Hemmer’s comments noteworthy, however, was his point of historic comparison.

“So, what, it took us what 100 years to find the Titanic? It took us 2,000 years to find Noah’s Ark. Do we ever find Flight 370?”

It’s true that it took about 73 years to find the Titanic. And it’s true Flight 370 is elusive. But it was Hemmer’s Ark assertion that clearly stood out as interesting.

Let’s put aside whether or not someone believes the Ark story is intended to be metaphorical or literal. Let’s also sidestep the question of whether it’s plausible for a small family to build a 300-cubit boat – on short notice – that held a male and a female of every species on the planet.

Let’s instead consider whether or not people actually “found” Noah’s Ark roughly 2,000 years after it allegedly survived a great flood – because that would be quite a discovery, indeed.

Though many have looked for the Ark over the centuries, Joe Coscarelli noted that Hemmer was likely referring to Evangelical Christian explorers, who claimed to have uncovered evidence of the boat’s existence. But those claims were soon debunked – and were even rejected as a hoax by Fox News.

To date, there’s no evidence Noah’s Ark ever existed, and there’s nothing to suggest it’s ever been “found.”
