Looks like the Brit version of the National Enquirer.
Genesis debates with non-Christians or Christians?
If with non-Christians, it wouldn't impact them at all. Even if we found the cross, crown of thorns, sandals, and garments of Christ, depraved minds will always find an excuse not to believe in His existence...
Liberal Christians. Many of them deny Genesis as actual history.
The Sun There have been a number of supposed discoveries, on Mount Ararat and vicinity which have never led to any clear conclusions, maybe because archaeologists will be divided by fundamental presuppositions on their assessment of any of this kind of stuff (?)
It's unwise that anyone should try and prop their faith up with the uncertainties of archaeology, although it can be fascinating, maybe especially biblical archaeology, and we do see a general trend, as we might expect, of biblical truth coinciding to some extent with what is found in the ground and archaeological conclusions about it.

All of Genesis?
The Sun is a pathetic rag and disgrace to Great Britain that has a bare-breasted woman on page 3 everyday. Why that was ever permitted in a daily "newspaper", I don't know.
They do report serious news and report news seriously, if simply, however.

I'm extra skeptical when there is a limited supply of photos. If ark-hunters truly thought they had found something, they'd take hundreds and hundreds of photos, from all angles, both interior and exterior. That doesn't seem to be the case here.

Here is the Fox News slideshow of the find.

I agree, Traci.No faith propping here but, yes, it is always wonderful to have our faith emboldened by archeological evidence.
One question that must be addressed is a practical one, if Noah's Ark still exists then why didn't Noah, his family and descendants cannibalize the wood to build other structures? I would. I would have built something and used it to stay warm.
If the Ark of the Covenant exists then why didn't those who captured it, melt it down into some useful instead of a gold plated box?
There must have been plenty of wood floating round. The Ark was obviously Clyde-built and taking it apart was probably more bother than it was worth. Or maybe they used it as a base for a while.One question that must be addressed is a practical one, if Noah's Ark still exists then why didn't Noah, his family and descendants cannibalize the wood to build other structures?

I'm inclined to believe God's providence has precluded us from ever finding these things, but I can't give you chapter-and-verse on that -- I just suspect it to be true.
