Those who were impressed with last week's Noah's Ark special might be
interested in reading the September 1992 _Impact_, published by the ICR
along with _Acts & Facts_.  It has an article titled "The Search for Noah's
Ark:  Status 1992" by John D. Morris, who is Professor of Geology and
Administrative VP at ICR and one of the "experts" quoted on the television
show.  He has (he says) personally gone on 13 Ark hunting trips and keeps
in contact with other such expeditions.  In the article he says that he has
found no evidence, physical or scriptural, that the Ark exists, and he
refutes, point by point, the evidence of some other Ark hunters (Ron Wyatt
and Dvaid Fasold) who have published books on finding the Ark.  In fact, he
rather disparages those two, saying "They have aggressively promoted
themselves and their works. . . .  Both have shown a tendency to attack,
personally, those who disagree with them. . . .  Each has demonstrated
disdain for Christians. . . ."  I wonder what John Morris thought of the
completed television show.
