Assuming this isn't some cheap Chinese knock-off, this discovery is absolute proof of God's existence and here's the reason:
1. The Bible is The Word of God
2. The Bible describes in intimate detail the ark and its construction - it is made of gopher wood.
3. The Ark came to rest on Mount Ararat
4. Bits of some sort of 4,800 year old wood have been found on Mount Ararat
5. Absolutely nothing else could have caused wood to be up Mount Ararat
6. The lay out of the bits of wood indicate that there are some compartments.
7. Compartments irrefutably mean the presence of animals.
8. Therefore the Bible is true and God exists
Obviously, my one great regret is that God did not see fit to have an American discover this sign; perhaps He is looking to convert those Slants to the One True Religion.

Evangelists claim to have found Noah's ark - 4000m up mountain
April 27, 2010 - 6:40AM
A group of Chinese and Turkish evangelical explorers said on Monday they believe they may have found Noah's Ark - 4000m up a mountain in Turkey.
The team say they recovered wooden specimens from a structure on Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey that carbon dating proved was 4800 years old, around the same time the ark is said to have been afloat.
"It's not 100 per cent that it is Noah's Ark but we think it is 99.9 per cent that this is it," said Yeung Wing-cheung, a Hong Kong documentary filmmaker and member of the 15-strong team from Noah's Ark Ministries International.
The structure had several compartments, some with wooden beams, which were believed to house animals, he said.
The group of evangelical archaeologists ruled out an established human settlement on the grounds that one had never been found above 3500m in the vicinity, Yeung said.
Local Turkish officials will ask the central government in Ankara to apply for UNESCO World Heritage status so the site can be protected while a major archaeological dig is conducted, Yeung added.
