How to respond when some tells you that Noah's Ark has been found.

On day, while engaged in a discussion on Christianity with a total stranger, [ This person had approached me and wanted to testify ]  the conversation turned to "faith vs evidence".  The young man made the statement that Noah's Ark had been discovered on Mt Ararat.  My response was, and I invite you to use the following..."If a wooden structure has been found on Mt Ararat, and if it is determined that the structure is an enormous boat, in order to prove that it is in fact Noah's Ark, the structure must be proved to be 6,000 years old.  The only way to prove that the structure is 6,000 years old, is to use the 'Carbon-14 Dating Process'.  If the Carbon-14 Dating Process is used, and the structure is shown to be 6,000 years old, then the data showing that the Earth is billions of years old is reaffirmed, thereby refuting the creationist belief that the Earth is only 10,000 years old and showing that doubt is justified with all biblical stories.  Therefore no one can ever 'prove' that they found Noah's Ark."  I bid the young man 'a good day' and left him standing speechless on the sidewalk

The War on Christmas

Every year it seems that someone within the Mass Media Industry will rant and rave about someone disagreeing with something that involves celebrating the Christmas holiday.  They will proclaim that it's another "example of the war on Christmas!"  As a citizen, who is not a person of faith, I do not want a "War on Christmas" but I encourage a "reform of the winter holiday culture".  The first amendment to the Constitution states: "Congress shall pass no law regarding the establishment of, or the infringement of the free exercise of religion."  Churches have the right to have nativity scenes on their lawns to celebrate Christmas.  A town clerk, who is Christian, does not have the right to put up a nativity scene on the front lawn of City Hall.  Public places are to be kept neutral.  To put up a display of a religious nature in a public park or at a public building is to show support and by it's very presence "establishes" the governmental recognition of that faith.  What the owner of a store or restaurant plays for music in their own establishment is their own business.  It is a private building.  I encourage my fellow citizens to be more mindful of what they do.  There are many many songs that are labeled "Traditional Christmas Music" and during the month of December, I enjoy hearing "Jingle Bells" and "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer".  I do not however, like being proselytized to.  Now I'm willing to bet that a lot of the music that is being played in Indian restaurants, are songs about Vishnu or Shiva, but as I don't understand Hindi, I don't care, and I enjoy the music while I am having my chicken curry and mango lassi.  However, songs such as "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" and "Little Drummer Boy" are distinctly Christian songs about Jesus.  If I wanted to hear these songs, I would go to a Christian church, this is where it is appropriate, not at Staples when I am trying to buy printer paper and ink cartridges.
