Claim CH502.2:
The Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS) photographed Noah's ark in
1973.
Source:
LaHaye, Tim and John Morris, 1976. The Ark on Ararat, Nashville: Thomas
Nelson Inc. and Creation Life Publishers, pp. 203-206.
Response:
- ERTS does not have sufficient resolution to photograph the ark. An
object of the expected size (appx. 450 by 75 feet) would occupy about
one pixel of the image. The object in the photograph that was claimed
to be the ark is much too big (Bailey 1989, 91; LaHaye and Morris
1976).
