What is your view about the Noah's Ark that people claim to have found in Turkey?

I checked different sources and I really don't know what to think about it. I've in some of them that carbon tests proves the age matching with the Biblical event.

What is your view on this?

The article you linked to doesn't claim to have found it, but only that they're going to look for it...again. They haven't found the ark and I don't think they're ever going to. I believe in the literal flood, but I don't think the flood was global, we don't know when the flood was, and I think the numbers describing the size of the ark are not to be taken literally. In other words, I don't think finding the ark is gonna happen. You say that "in some of them that carbon tests proves the age matching with the Biblical event," but we don't know when the biblical flood was, so that doesn't help us. I mean, it's fine if people want to look for it, but I think it's a waste of time and money. I don't think they'll ever find it.
