Ok, this is my one and only post in here to get my views out.
I find religion to be a weird thing. Every religion has 4 groups of believers (5 if you count non-believers). The semi's (go to church once in a while but not every week by choice), true believers who live by the teachings, extremest who do radical things in the name of their god, and hypocrites (IE "Christian" groups denouncing other religions when their own religion preaches tolerance which happens a lot here in Milwaukee).
In this thread, I've seen all of the 4 above but the extremists. Me personally I don't believe but I do find the study of religion an interesting thing.
For a minute here let's assume the wood is old enough to be from the arc era. That doesn't mean anything. that piece of wood could be from some kind of building or tool. The sad part is, no one seems to be thinking of those possibilities. it must be part of the arc. I will not deny the possibility that it's part of the arc, but people need to start looking into other possibilities as well.
