This woman is not an atheist. I mean she says she is…but nothing about her confirms it. On her website under her bio she lists Dinesh D’ Souza under “Who She’s In To” and under her favorite “Thinkers and Deors”. I shot her a quick email asking why she would run to the defense of Christians when in the US atheists are the least trusted minority in the country? I don’t want to stereotype and say that you have to be liberal to be an atheist…but nothing is adding up.
If in fact she is anything other than an Atheist, this whole act is just sad by every participant involved. What is up with the new Fox News tactic in defense of the christian god? Anyone have any other thoughts? I could write a thousand words of reason explaining why this is so transparent but I would guess most everyone can see it already after the first time around.

Wing-Cheung, a member of the 15-member team from Noah’s Ark Ministries International, said the structure in which they got the wood had several compartments that were possibly used to store animals.
According to the Bible, Noah was tasked by God to build a giant ark after deciding to flood the world because humanity had become too corrupt.
Mount Ararat has long been believed to have been the final resting place of the ark, which according to be Bible, came to rest upon the top of a mountain.
Carbon dating shows that the wood the group recovered was 4,800 years old, which would put it around the time of the ark, the team claimed
