1994 • E35 Oct 24, 1994 45mBiblical relic or simple geological phenomenon? A miraculous discovery or misguided piece of non-science? Paul Barry investigates the often heated debate between geologist Professor Ian Plymer and Christian fundamentalist Dr Allen Roberts over what Dr Roberts claims are the remains of Noah's Ark, recently excavated near Mt Ararat in Turkey. It's a debate which focuses not only on the dispute over a single archaeological site, but also on the growing claims of creation science to be taught and disseminated in schools and universities.
