Dinosaurs on the Ark?

[Job 33:6]

I haven't read any responses to the OP but here's mine. I believe the great flood is what wiped dinosaurs out. Man was on the other side of the Atlantic and since most dinosaur bones are found in South America and North America where man did not exist in biblical times, they were likely wiped out with the flood. Bones need to be moist to be preserved... how else would bones be in tact thousands of years later and that archeologists claim everywhere dinos have been found, water was present at one time and many of them believe they drowned

Archaeologists study human history not dinosaur history.

And many dinosaurs have been discovered in the east.

Sorry, i applaud your consideration and novel thought. I would recommend picking up some books on paleontology though to help with your ideas.

Its a hypothetical question. What if the earth showed a calm history, without evidence of a global flood? What would it mean to you?

Wouldn't T-Rex eat everything?There's a Creation Museum in the Midwest where they show Dinosaurs walking up into the Ark, along with other animals.

Young Earth Creationists are far, far more guilty of inventing history to support preconceived ideas than scientists are. An evidence minded person would wait until they found evidence of the Ark or evidence of man living with dinosaurs before teaching dinosaurs loading on to the Ark. YE Creationists just make stuff up to suit their new religion. I used to be one. I have Ken Ham's signature in my Bible.

Ya, that doesn't really cover what all the writers and all the readers believed. Scripture says the earth is more like a tent.

21 Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been declared to you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth? 22 It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.

By your reasoning they also believed that people are grasshoppers. LIKE. It's a metaphor. We have contextual clues to tell us when to take things literally or not.

Jesus spoke of the flood saying it took them ALL away. So wherever they were on the earth, the flood found and took them away. Everything that had the breath of life God killed with the flood. Lots of fossil bones washed together laid down in multistranded fossil beds as the flood waters settled, the layers settled forming sedimentary bands that harden into rock. Lots of buried vegetation compressed into coal veins. The earth before the flood was loaded with a lot of life, more life than today. Now we have ongoing extinctions and desertifications and declining biodiversity.

Matthew 24:38
For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,
Matthew 24:39
and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

The coming of the Son of MAN will be a global event , and Jesus compares His returning also as the flood which was understood to have been a global event in His time.

The Great Flood didn't create the rock layers we see today. Ken Ham just makes that stuff up. He says that the fossil layers have different animals in them based on how heavy the animals are. He's just pulling that stuff out of his pipe.

Right. The world is not a tent. It is shaped like a disk tent, with flaps.

A human observer, looking up at the stars, sees something like an immense canopy. It's a phenomenological statement.

Oh, I understand that the scriptures are written completely from a human perspective.
I've observed that for years. They are also heavily influenced by the sinners who wrote them.
The writers were very hostile to prostitutes and any manner of people with unusual sexuality.
Many even flailed to follow the golden rule. Perhaps they were harboring sexual secrets like the priests of today?
Scripture is only perfect becasue of the subject matter.

We do not agree at all. The Bible is a great gift. The Almighty speaks to sinners to show us the way. It's a light for your path but you only see darkness.

Amein.
There are many like that poster who deny Jesus/ God's Word/ the BIBLE,
on this and almost all other forums , over and over and over, for years.

I've been through that phase as well.
For about a decade. It turns out most of your brothers
use the scriptures as a form of hate support for unusual
people, ideas, and against women, scientists, less common
sexual preferences, other religions, and more.

They believe they are enlightened by hating other people
or things others do they don't agree with.

They even ridicule the golden rule.

do unto others
C. as you would have them do unto you.
D. For this is the essence of the Law and the prophets. (The O.T.)

An evidence minded person would wait until they found evidence of the Ark ...

And what if the Ark was dismantled to build Noah's house?

Then this evidence minded person is SOL,* isn't he?

Should he (emphasis on "should") continue to wait all his life and die waiting, in your opinion?

* Short On Luck

I don't know when the Ark was built but wood does not last long, so that's not an issue. Before I'd teach that dinosaurs ruled the Ark, I'd have some kind of support. I support that the animals Hibernated on the Ark, becasue the list of animals that do or can is a growing list. Possibly all animals can.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Should we translate that as...In the beginning God created the heavens and the local land?

22 It is He who sits above the circle of the earth,

Shouldn't this verse say....It is He who sits above the circle of the local land,[/QUOTE]

Evolution has no effect on theology at all. Evolution describes the real world as we experiment with it.
Man-made natural breeding selection is documented in scripture.

The theory of evolutionism says....there was no Adam. No Eve....no garden and no fall.

The size of all creation is not of issue. The issue is the need for
eliminating all human civilization. Humans were not that widespread.

There was never a Garden of Paradise on Earth. Unless you think Jesus was walking there with Adam.
Then I won't argue against you. Otherwise, The Garden was not Earth.

If it was, I can't find it.

Evolution-ism doesn't cover the Garden of Eden topic.

So much for an evidence minded person then.

Maybe he should change his perspective?

Hell is full of those who waited all their lives for evidence.
