   Well, I would genuinely like to see Noah's Ark.   
      
   But I have one concern. The finding of Noah's Ark cannot possibly make up   
   for all the lies, distortions, and outright falsehoods pushed by so-called   
   "Scientific Creationism". It cannot make up for the lack of scientific   
   productivity by those who follow this standard. It cannot turn into   
   Spirituality the gross carnality exhibited by creationists in their fight   
   over interpretation.   
      
   I doubt, though, that the Lord will allow Noah's Ark to be found. It would   
   become an idol for the Creationists, as surely as the Serpent Moses built   
   became an idol for Israel.
