	Skeptical view of the Noah's ark flood myth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		As skeptics have long been aware, there was no global flood in the last 5000 years, a boatload of animals did not ground on so-called Mount Ararat or on any mountain, and the world's animals are not descended from two or seven pairs of each species that lived during the third millennium BC.
		Nor is there any archaeological proof that a man survived a flood by being on a boat loaded with animals, food, and drinking water.
		The Noah's Ark book summarized here does not claim historicity for Noah or the ark story, but the book does claim that some of the story elements in the Ancient Near East flood were based on an actual river flood.
