So, you are right to say that we don't know if it is Noah's Ark, but you are also right (in my opinion) to present the evidence as you found it, and say, "if it is not Noah's Ark, what is it? And how can we explain all the evidence suggesting that it is Noah's Ark, if it isn't?"

And, I think your point about "probability" rather than "proof," is a strong one. I'd keep hammering at that. "Maybe it isn't, but what if it is?  How would that change your relationship with God?"  

Your work is captivating many people and generating valuable dialogue. It seems to me like a holy calling. I still get chills when I ponder your finds on Mt. Jabel al-alez (I know that's not spelled correctly).  And I am almost breathless when I think that that sight in Iran might be the actual signt of where the ark came to rest.  People have read about that for thousands of years.

So... I don't really have anything to say except, be encouraged, and don't let the naysayers get you down.  And keep presenting the idea of "probability" and challenging people on how it would change their lives if it were true. There are many like me and the men who went on your trip who admire what you are doing, and think it is very valuable.  It keeps people thinking about important things, and you help constuct enough "probability" as you say, to make people think about the accuracy of the Bible. Then, if "facts" are true, maybe the spiritual message is as well. You are a blessing to many. Keep on keeping on.

Best wishes,
