Maybe we could prove the Bible if we could find Noah’s ark.
Many have searched for it and some claim to have found it.

Is it here in Durupinar:

Or on Mt Ararat below:

Here is a website that looks at these claims: www.noahsarksearch.com

We have to say that neither of these sites are conclusive. So do we give up?

There is lots of literary evidence relating to Noah's Flood from cultures around the world.

Four Ancient Flood Accounts

1.  Biblical // Noah

2.  Babylonian // Atrahasis
