Dinosaurs on the Ark: How It Was Possible

As if anything could disprove the entire bible.

 

[Frank Robert]

Kent would say they are in the same "family," whereas I would say they are in different genera.

Did they adapt from a cat kind?

* Noah's Ark video *

AT 2:00, he says if the story is true, then there should be "overwhelming evidence."

So I can see already where this is going; and what his problem is.

(But I'll watch more.)

 

[AV1611VET]

* Noah's Ark video *

He mentions the story of the Flood being "distorted over time;" yet Shem lived right up to the time of Jacob, providing eyewitness testimony of the Flood.

* Noah's Ark video *

I like that guy. I'd love to debate him.

He's an example where science actually got him out of "the organization."

And for the record, Hitch, did you notice what book he was holding up?

Hmmm have you actually watch the vid many christians can refute this.

I haven't seen a refutation yet.

 

[Carl Emerson]

It seems his Family were JW's so the water is already muddied by the spin they put on the Noah account.

 

[Carl Emerson]

What is clear is that there was a ton of divine intervention going on.

What we aren't told is what God was doing at the time that is not recorded in the narrative.

Easy to say.
Impossible to do.

 

[AV1611VET]

Easy to say. Impossible to do.

He bases his argument on the "fact" that there should be "overwhelming evidence" of the Flood.

That's his first ... and biggest ... mistake.

I like that he calls into question the fact that other civilizations who wrote about the Flood gave conflicting details, but he overlooks the fact that Shem lived LONG after the Flood.

 

[AV1611VET]

Hmmm have you actually watch the vid many christians can refute this.

This is what he said about his video:

"God cannot lie. When his word touches on science and history, it is infallible. These two all or nothing claims are what many Christians (myself included) were raised to believe. Therefore, if after a thorough examination we find just one story to be fallacious, the entire Bible no longer has the right to be referred to as being both inspired and infallible. In this video I take you through a personal journey of how despite my desperate attempts to vindicate the story as being a factual account in history, I reached the eventual conclusion that it was nothing more than a mythological adaptation."

I agree with his statement up to his conclusion (the last six words), but I don't think he tried hard enough and, as usual, reached a premature conclusion.

Like most myths.

From Answers in Genisis

How dinosaurs lived with man, how they were preserved on Noah’s ark—likely as juveniles—and what happened to dinosaurs after the flood
snip​

There were no dinosaurs on the Ark. There was no Ark. There was no Flood.

In order for something to be real there has to be evidence that it happened. Not just a story. Actual, physical evidence. Especially for something like a worldwide flood that covered the tops of mountains. There is not. Civilizations flourished before and after the time that this flood supposedly happened with no breaks in their activities. No mentions of all their people suddenly being drowned and then being repopulated by a Jewish guy and his kids. You'd think that this uber-religious guy would have brought his faith with him. Strangely all those civilizations that weren't there anymore somehow got Noah's kids to become THEIR religions and THEIR languages and adopt THEIR histories. Because it NEVER HAPPENED.

AIG is propaganda for the stupid.​

If there was a Noah's ark it could have had birds on board and birds are avian dinosaurs. Problem solved.

Except that's not what the clowns at AIG were trying to claim. Not even close.

For lo, to say a bird is a dinosaur is to risk letting
in the grim spectre of evolution.

I know, I'm just trying to have fun with it.

We can't find a good creationist
You want to try out for it?
