No actually that is the opinion of Joe Zias, Curator of Anthropology/Archaeology at Israel Antiquities Authority in Jerusalem
and
Bill Crouse, President Christian Information Ministries

Organizations you would think would welcome the discovery of proof of the fairy tale, but obviously have integrity also label him a a wacko, such as the Institute for Biblical & Scientific Studies, which says "Ron Wyatt is either very psychologically ill or one of the greatest liars I have ever come across."
What is the role of a scientist? To prove or disprove the hypothesis. You quote these sources and yet you do not find it odd that they had never gone to th esites to disprove the "discovery". All I have seen as opposing these discovery sites is to lable a man as a liar.

Here is a partial list of the absurdities he claims to have discovered, on a part time basis while on vacation from his job as an anesthesia nurse.
Noah's Ark (the Durupinar site, for which he has been the prime promoter)
Stone sea anchors believed to be used by Noah to steer the vessel into the wind
Petrified timbers from the Ark that were used as memorials in an Armenian graveyard
Noah's sacrifice area at the site
A large stone carving near the Ark picturing 8 people coming out of the side, with a rainbow above the boat, and inscriptions in Summerian, Hurrian, and Urartian identifying this formation as the Ark of Noah
Trainloads of petrified pre-flood wood that had no tree rings on the site
Corroded metal fittings, found in rows, delineating the "ribs of the ship," as indicated by metal detectors and especially a "molecular frequency generator"
A house that Noah built
Stones on this house containing inscriptions that recorded details about the Deluge
A pictograph of eight people leaving a large wave of water with a boat perched above it
Noah's grave
Mrs. Noah's grave (containing a fortune-her gold and jewelry)
The Ark of the Covenant (under the exact spot where Jesus was crucified)
The Menorah (a seven-branched candelabra), the Table of Shewbread, and the Golden Altar of Incense from the ancient Temple
Christ's blood, scraped off of the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant
DNA analysis of the blood indicates that Christ was born of a virgin
The true site of Christ's crucifixion and the stone socket in which the cross was placed
Verified the tomb of Christ was the actual tomb
Claimed Jesus' tomb was sealed with a Roman iron spike, still visible
Moses' stone tablets containing the Ten Commandments, held together with golden hinges
Solved the problem of the construction of the pyramids
Also the problems in Egyptian chronology
Discovered the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah
Discovered sulfur balls from the same
The true site of the Israelites' Red Sea crossing
A stone monument near the site erected by Solomon, inscribed with the ancient Hebrew script
Horse and human skeletons from Pharaoh's drowned army
Gold covered chariot wheels and chariot parts
The true Mount Sinai
The 12 altars built by Moses in Exodus 24
The actual rock Moses struck to release water at Kadesh
The site of Korah's earthquake where the ground swallowed up Korah and his followers
Knows how the Shroud of Turin was forged
Has cracked the code of the Copper Scroll
Claimed (on tape) that he can read any ancient inscription
Discovered the pillars of Solomon
The tomb of the Patriarchs, the cave of Machpelah
Moses was known in Egyptian history as Thutmosa III
Joseph was the builder of the first pyramid
Storage bins Joseph used during the drought in Egypt
Bones of giant pre-flood people
Ancient Canaanite burial pots at Ashkelon
Remember, this was just a part time hobby of his. Do you really want to attack my opinion defending this crack pot?
Remember that all of these "discoveries" happened over a course of time: it was not an all at once discovery. Twice Ron Wyatt was on CBS news for the discovery of Noah's Ark and that is twice now that the professional community had dragged their feet to the site to disprove it.
I really have to ask the question: why? Since they are the professional: why the delay? Why the delay in those other findings? It's not like Ron Wyatt has a patent on it to keep others out. Anybody can go there and see for themselves.... and they have, but again, not the professioanal community. Instead of showing evidence to disprove Ron Wyatt of the discoveries: they would just attack the man. Ever noticed that?
All of this "Lying" theme started when some of those that went to the site with Ron Wyatt, had recanted their position years later and began accusing Wyatt of planting evidence. I saw the reason why there was a shift within the group and that was when Ron Wyatt began to counter some of the teachings of the Seventh Day Adventists. Apparently, that was a no no and support caved away to ridicule and mockery.
Now really consider this then. Irregardless of the inhouse squabbles over non professionals, it does not excuse the professional community from responding in doing the discovery sites professionally.
So all you got in discounting the discovery site is people name calling and mocking the one that made it a lifetime hobby to discover these things and yet meanwhile all the professionals are doing is sitting on their rumps.
can you take this guy seriously....seriously? he's as plastic as a barbie doll,and as see-throughable as a plastic bag.note the fakeeee crying at the end.in true crime,he'd be considered guilty of lying his baffoon off:
btw,no human,even Jesus,could have ever developed,(at least not normally,without outward defects,if AT ALL),with that dna profile.that's incredibly absurd and downright ridiculous.

Putting Ron Wyatt aside for a moment because he cannot conjure up those discovery sites all by himself, the sites are real and still lacking the professionals from going to the sites to either confirm or disprove the discoveries. All of this armchair quarterbacking in attacking Ron's character does not negate the fact and responsibility that professional archeologists should be at those discovery sites to see for themselves.
The foot dragging professionals are more circumspectual at best.
