So since we are the monkey kind there was no need for other primates.Species didn't go on the ark, kinds did.
Since the ice age was a northern hemisphere phenomenon, there would be about 200 feet of ice covering our world here in Wisconsin. I find that hard to believe. What natural phenomenon would cause that much ice to cover everything?
He spoke about them to teach people some point or some metaphor ("like it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in this generation....").He spoke about them as actually happening. Why would you attempt to turn what was clearly meant as literal into an allegory?
Doesn't "dinosaur" mean "terrible lizard"?Pterodactyls were not dinosaurs, they were lizards.
Good.
So back to the question.
We all agree that these layers exist and I'll break it down briefly:
Tertiary -hominids and modern birds
Cretaceous- the last dinosaurs
Jurassic- first birds
Triassic- first true mammals and bird-like theropods
Permian - (first mammal like reptiles which are accepted to exist even by aig)
Carboniferous -first reptiles and reptile-amphibian hybrids (such as frogamander) and turtles with half shells.
Devonian -first amphibian-like fish tetrapods (such as Tiktaalik) and amphibians
Silurian - first terrestrial invertebrates
Ordovician-more aquatic invertebrates
Cambrian- odd fauna, aquatic invertebrates
So what is the young earth creationist explanation for why dinosaurs specifically exist in Mesozoic layers but not in protozoic or cenozoic layers?
Or is pure denial their only option?
Or are questionable photographs of cave painting brontosaurus and blurred and questionable images (or a single image because only one exists) of odd shaped human feet prints inside stereotypical T-Rex tracks (as if T-Rex was the only prehistoric animal that ever lived) somehow supposed to sway us to believe otherwise?
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 floodThe Dinosaur "Hurdle"
But the biggest hurdle people have when they see any of our displays of the ark (or visit the Ark Encounter) is seeing dinosaurs depicted on the ark (or in stalls in the Ark Encounter). Due to evolutionary indoctrination, many people can't picture man living alongside dinosaurs, or if they do, they think of the Jurassic Park/World movies and view all dinosaurs as wanting to trample or eat people. Even if they overcome or set aside this stumbling block, we still get questions of how dinosaurs could even fit on the ark, particularly when considering the massive dinosaurs, especially the sauropods. Other oft-cited "problems" with dinosaurs on the ark are feeding the herbivores the massive amounts of vegetation that the adults eat, feeding the carnivorous ones (and avoiding being eaten by them), and cleaning up after them.
It makes more sense to think that God would have sent to Noah juveniles (or sub-adults) or smaller varieties within the same kind.
Crunching the Numbers
Noah also did not have to bring marine animals, bacteria, fungi, or plants (except as possible food sources) and many (if any) insects onto the ark.
But How Could Noah Care for the Dinosaurs on the Ark?
We need to keep in mind that Noah was a very intelligent man and was obeying God’s commands by faith (Hebrews 11:7). And it was God’s desire that the animals on the ark were well cared for and able to disembark healthy and repopulate the new world.
Dinosaurs Were on the Ark and Dinosaurs Came off the Ark
The evolutionary story is that dinosaurs died out 66 million years ago, long before humans evolved. But Scripture tells a quite different account.
I gave one, but as predicted, you wouldn't understand it.Response never given.
Only works if you want to want to twist scripture. I don't.He spoke about them to teach people some point or some metaphor ("like it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in this generation....").
He was not teaching them geology, cosmology nor relying on any technical details in the story. So why not to follow Him?
I gave one, but as predicted, you wouldn't understand it.
Two questions:
- Would it even matter if dinosaurs were found on the same horizontal plane? after all, look how they make up explanations for polystrate fossils.
- Where are the dinosaurs on that chart in Post 103?
You are "only" adding to it and extrapolating.Only works if you want to want to twist scripture. I don't.
What's Post 65 then?1. Sounds like denial to me. And no you didn't give me a response earlier, you simply noted that Mesozoic wasn't in my list, which I clarified shortly thereafter.
What's Post 65 then?
It appears to be random commentary without a young earth creationist explanation for why dinosaur fossils are only found in Mesozoic strata.
Here is your response:
"HOWEVER, assuming these two layers are actually that old due to EMBEDDED AGE, then what you are doing is tantamount to dating the dinosaurs by the layers they are found in."-AV
And where or why or how do you think this explains why dinosaur fossils are only found in the Mesozoic?
Or is it denial of this reality?
What is the young earth creationist explanation for why dinosaur fossils are only found in Mesozoic strata, or do you deny this fact?
You'll deny any explanation to keep your record intact, won't you?And where or why or how do you think this explains why dinosaur fossils are only found in the Mesozoic?
Yes, I know.* Another illustration for reference *
What am I adding? Nothing. It says six days, I believe it's six days. It says the flood was over the whole earth, I believe it.You are "only" adding to it and extrapolating.
Also, reading ancient texts without understanding the ancient language and culture is twisting them par excellence.
These people try hard not to understand; and they're very good at it.What am I adding? Nothing. It says six days, I believe it's six days. It says the flood was over the whole earth, I believe it.
You'll deny any explanation to keep your record intact, won't you?
Okay ... deny this ... dinosaur fossils are only found in the Mesozoic because they went extinct.
To you, the Mesozoic Era was what? 250 - 65 million years ago?
But I submit it was from 4004 BC - now.
No. That is its etymology, not its definition.Doesn't "dinosaur" mean "terrible lizard"?
