Reporters need to ask every republican running for office if THEY believe dinosaurs were on Noah's Ark........
One of the founding border members of the Creationist organization Answers in Genesis believes that dinosaurs accompanied Noah on his Ark as the entire world was flooded by God. Speaking to Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association on Thursday, Carl Kerby insisted it wasnt infeasible for the giant reptilian creatures to have been on Noahs Ark. The self-described creation scientist said he had debunked the notion that two of every animal could not have possibly fit on Noahs Ark. The Bible states that the boat was about 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 50 feet high, Kerby explained.
Creationists believe that the Flood began approximately 4,359 years ago. Scientists have found that dinosaurs went extinct by the end of the Cretaceous Period about 65 million years ago.

Morons is such a mild word, because they are not just the stupidest people alive, they are the most dangerous.

(25,477 posts)so the assumption of course is that Noah's Ark existed in a corporeal form rather than as an allegorical story. That's how the line is drawn further and further to the Right...
On edit: I wanted to say a few other things, but I deleted them from my post. You don't need to hear this stuff from me.

And that doesn't even get down to the species level.

Seriously, that makes my skin crawl far more than being evolved from a monkey.
a question in my first, last and only Bible study group when I was a kid. It was about Adam and Eve populating the world.
When it did it stop being o.k. to have sex with your relative and become incest?

(62,444 posts)Obviously the polar bears and penguins flipped a coin to figure out which ones would head north and which ones would head south.
It was a heck of a walk for the penguins to get from Asia Minor to the Antarctic.
But it was pretty clever of Noah's family to hand out all of the various plant seeds to animals who were heading to different climates, so the animals could plant them along their route.

So, that's a little hard to fathom, but otherwise the logic of Noah's Ark is airtight.

When doctrine or dogma prove to hard or inconvenient to adhere to, mix it up a little.

There's a burger chain in Washington and Idaho called Zip's that was founded by a Catholic in the 1950s, and their Friday special will always be fish and chips.

(11,417 posts)animals. So there would only be dinosaurs left when the waters receded.
Plus Noah would have had to cut holes in the roof so the dinosaurs could stick their heads out causing the rain to come in and sink the ark.
Imagine trying to lasso one of those big terrana sore asses. You would need a long rope and some pretty strong guys to hold them down but who would bother to help Noah if they thought he had a couple of screws loose?
jmowreader
(50,528 posts)For one thing, God put all the apex predators in a state of suspended animation. Otherwise the world would probably be inhabited by tigers, not dinos.
Since he chose baby dinos, they fit on the Ark fine. The Bible wisely leaves out Noah's sons Larry, Curly, Moe and Shemp who were all eaten collecting the male tyrannosaur baby, and his sons Groucho, Harpo, Chico, Zeppo and Karl who were all eaten collecting the female. It turns out only God was allowed to wipe out whole families.
For some reason it also leaves out the part about being able to build a wooden ship that big with only hand tools without anyone noticing.
