Millenia later Chinese evangelists find the vessel.
Yeah they may indeed have found Noah's Ark - but that doesn't make the biblical story true.

Not a bad story but not what happened. I can't say any more just yet.
Apropos whether this is a atheist vs jew/christian/muslim debate I would conjecture that many in the latter category won't be convinced that this 'discovery' is genuine either.
