Did scientists REALLY find Noah's Ark?

Most of us in America probably know the story; The world had become wicked and God had sent Noah to build an ark, load it with 2 of each animal, and stay on it for 40 days and 40 nights. On the 41st day, Noah went to send a dove out to see if there was dry land, and it brought back a branch from an olive tree, so he unloaded the Ark, and he and his family got off and populated the land, and God promised him he would never flood the Earth again by making a rainbow in the sky.

Well, certainly some of us know what causes a rainbow; It occurs when water in certain forms (such as rain) splits up light into its 7 colors, and causes it to appear as the familiar ring-shaped spectrum we know as the rainbow. A glass prism breaks light up in the same way, all that matters is that light has to pass through a translucent container, such as those 2 things which I mentioned above. So I don't know what to say about 'God' creating it, but here's interesting news; Scientists in Europe claim to have found Noah's Ark atop Mt. Arafat in Turkey. But what's more interesting is another source claims that Noah's Ark is ALREADY displayed somewhere else in Turkey. So, are either of them real? And if so, which one is it? But the fact that it was found atop a mountain certainly makes the case seem that much stronger, I mean, how would a boat end up up there? Could it have been elevated to that level after the 4,800 years that it has been sitting there? (That, by the way, is the age which scientists observing the finding in China date the wood back to.)

This is almost like the time someone claimed to have found the cloths that Jesus wore when he was crucified. But, that can't possibly be evidence of his existence, we have no idea what his DNA structure would have been from his blood... Unless it doesn't match anyone else, that's also a possibility. But it's these things that I'm looking for, proof that the words in the Bible aren't just something fictional, with some sort of empirical evidence of the existence of the things which the Bible claims to have happened. Like the ark, for instance.

But even if God DID exist, I don't believe in the modern teachings of the Catholic church. They say that things that are proven scientific fact are the work of the Devil, and that evolution is not fact... I disagree with them, there is strong evidence to the contrary. And some of the stuff they teach I don't think I remember even being in the Bible. Personally, I feel like it's necessary to avoid religion altogether, it gets crazy at times. I prefer a form of pure spiritualism, one that uses the Bible as its only authority, and if I decide I want to have faith in him again, I'll take that approach to it instead. Besides, even though it has been 4 years, it looks like maybe my prayers will be answered after all. But, why such a long time? Was there something I needed to get out of losing my freedom? After all, it had to get to the point where I thought it couldn't possibly get any worse before I finally figured out a way to find what I was looking for... Freedom...
