Why does an article of Bob Cornuke talks about Robert Cornuke? Are they the same person?
If so, an explanation is needed to clear things up for readers?--Wai Wai (talk) 04:28, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
I have removed material from this article that does not comply with our policy on the biographies of living persons. Biographical material must always be referenced from reliable sources, especially negative material. Negative material that does not comply with that must be immediately removed. Note that the removal does not imply that the information is either true or false.
Please do not reinsert this material unless you can provide reliable citations, and can ensure it is written in a neutral tone. Please review the relevant policies before editing in this regard. Editors should note that failure to follow this policy may result in the removal of editing privileges.--Docg 19:54, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
I shortened the first two paragraphs of introduction without actually removing any information - words have ben removed, but not the sense they convey. I deleted entirely the third paragraph, as it sems to me not to convey any real information - it's Cornuke's views on the way he works - but if anyone thinks it's important I suggest putting it in as a section in its own right in the body of the article. I also changed "Bob" to "Cornuke", as being more formal and more appropriate to an encyclopedia. PiCo 07:22, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
I just reverted a bunch of additions because of the unencylopedic tone, WP:OR, and the undue weight policy concerning science.[1] For example, I removed, "He uses the skills he developed as a crime scene investigator to study Biblical..." Stuff like that is POV until this is validate by a community of archaeologists. Other claims like "LBU was founded in 1973 and every course is designed to meet or exceed national norms..." are clearly POV. It may be true or it may be false. Without a source or any implication of what this means about Cornuke's unaccredited credentials in the academic community it has no place in the article. Most distrubing is the treatment of trying to ignore the criticism. Such as "Franz’ 'claim' is a misquote from Cornuke’s In Search of the Mountain of God book..." is WP:OR and should be removed immediately. The same goes for "What Franz chooses ignore are the documented statements of Frank Moore Cross..." which is also WP:OR.
If you wish to refute someone or prove that these are Biblical ruins you must do it first in a peer reviewed journal. C56C 04:04, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Arbustoo, Please demonstrate how, outside of me being a new user, my contribution to this article is "vandalism" as you call it. I did not simply delete your contrib, I only added fair, sourced material. Truthteller86 03:17, 13 April 2007 (UTC)truthteller86
Update needed: The baseinstitute biography referenced (and noted as unavailable) is now at: http://www.baseinstitute.org/about/bioofbob.htm JCrocombe (talk) 13:37, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
This article seems very biased to me. It is more like a blog on discrediting Bob Cornuke than a biographical piece. It should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Goodwordtoday (talk • contribs) 10:00, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
This article seems very biased to me as well. It really seems to need a complete overhaul. It sounds as if it were written by a biased critic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jnwaco (talk • contribs) 14:28, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
The article is cited for POV violation. The article is clearly written in its present form to present a negatively biased viewpoint of the subject. PatrickDunfordNZ (talk) 06:22, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
Cornuke seems to think he really is Indiana Jones. Mark Barna, "Ark hunter finds fulfillment in aiding orphans, THE GAZETTE, September 06, 2010:
...
“This is more meaningful to me than looking for Noah’s Ark,” Cornuke said. “But if I wasn’t Indiana Jones, going into poor places, I wouldn’t have found these people.”
Some Christians call into question his interpretation of the Bible, such as his dismissing the conventional notion that Noah’s Ark settled on Mount Ararat. Many Maltese Catholics dispute his placing Paul’s shipwreck in St. Thomas Bay rather than St. Paul’s Bay.
Reputable archaeologists say Cornuke’s claims are without merit.
“I admire him for a very active imagination and fairly successful business, but from an academic standpoint, he has not much credibility,” said Payson Sheets, archaeology professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
“The standard of such research tends to be very low, mostly wish fulfillment justified by a bit of wood, or an unusual shape in the earth,” scholar Thomas Wynn said of the people who’ve claimed to have discovered Noah’s Ark.
As for Cornuke’s ideas on Paul’s shipwreck, the anchors may be from the right era, but nothing connects them to Paul’s ship, said Wynn, an archaeology and anthropology professor at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. “You have to have a reason to link your archaeological find,” he said.
...
Cornuke's most notable claim now is that the Temples of Solomon and Herod never stood on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Those who like the idea like it a lot, but, it's not getting a lot of support from genuine experts. Anyone looking up Cornuke on here will expect to see something about it, will they not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.156.95.130 (talk) 19:22, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
As appears to have happened before, this article had accumulated a great deal of poorly sourced religious based criticism. I removed the bulk of it, although there is a some criticism of the subject in reliable sources as well. I did this in response to a complaint on the Biographies of living persons noticeboard. I have no objection adding back material from reliable sources if found, provided the article maintains a neutral point of view.

At 1:54, after his joke about Barak Obama, he claims he is a former FBI investigator and SWAT team member with a PhD in "Biblical Entheology". I'm not sure what Entheology is exactly, but its also hard to understand exactly what is saying. Maybe he said "theology"?
