Well, perhaps a little doubt. "It seems highly unlikely to me," says Shimon Gibson, a noted biblical archaeologist to whom Parfitt has described his project. "You have to make tremendous leaps." Those who hope to find the original biblical item, moreover, will likely reject Parfitt's claim that the best we can do is an understudy. Animating all searches for the Ark is the hope - and fear - that it will retain the unbridled divine power the Old Testament describes. What would such a wonder look like in our postmodern world?

The absence of baggage allows us to project whatever we want onto the candidate: he believes what I believe, he will make the change that I want made. And why not? I have no evidence to the contrary...
