CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I agree. According to Genesis account.
"And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female." (Genesus 6:19)
But don't YEC's claim the dinosaurs were lost in the flood?

I believe they were reptiles, not dinosaurs. But to answer your question, I guess the same thing.

I don't think so.
I believe they claim the dinosaurs eventually died out because of the new new [polar] climatology.
Prior to the Flood, the earth was one tropical paradise due to a water canopy.
After the Flood, the sun's rays hit the earth as they do now, creating a polar climatology that the dinosaurs couldn't handle; and they eventually went extinct.*
Two dinosaurs are mentioned in the book of Job, who lived after the Flood,** one having a navel.
That should have Mr. Linnaeus turning over in his grave, eh?
* There are reports of dinosaurs still in existence today: such as the Loch Ness monster & the Thunderbird.
** Job is thought to be Jobab, mentioned in Genesis 10.

There was no ark.
I mean, its dimensions are literally impossible using the construction abilities of that period and the materials used; not to mention all of the upkeep and such of the animals. It wouldn't be able to fit all of said animals, nor could they be reliably cared for in any fashion.

I'm not the one wondering how all the animals couldn't fit on the Ark; thus concluding there was no Ark.
Is this what you consider "reality"?

So there was no Ark?
And the reason there was no Ark is because all the animals couldn't fit on it?
Is that your version of reality as well?

Given that you've argued "1+1+1=1" and think "science can take a hike!" when science is by far the most reliable way of interpreting reality and analyzing and gathering empirical data, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if you were perfectly serious.

Don't worry AV, I don't think anyone here was ever worried that you were ever actually engaged with reality in the first place.
