No. And for obvious reasons. A refereed journal where findings are reported, methods are described, and results are discussed. Peer review. Otherwise, anyone can say anything that they want. Life/Time are not peer reviewed journals. They can report anything they want and the only check on their editorial process is in pressure to make profits.

Again, I can't believe that you're putting forward that there is absolute proof of the literal truth of the bible and a catastrophic earth changing flood that reduced all species populations to a single breeding pair. It seems to me that this would echo in much more than some boat shaped dirt. Something like that would leave calling cards all over nature in all fields of scientific inquiry.

It's remarkable that you want to say "they found it" and yet you are only willing to pursue it to some esoteric 1970s life magazine article. It's remarkable that you're putting forth a claim of absolute truth of something of this magnitude and all you have is a little web clip and some pictures of piles of rocks! You have so much passion for your path that you've chosen... It drives you to make such passionate/strong/offensives comments and you're just willing to leave it at "they found all sorts of things" when it comes to something that would conceivably be a nail in the hammer that silenced all doubt about this thing you're so passionate about!

Come on.. you really want us to believe this?
