This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by LeftishBrit (a host of the General Discussion forum).
In light of the new movie Noah directed by an Atheist. Whenever discussing Noah's Ark with fundies I always ask them about this and it's usually a big surprise to them that they can't answer:
In Genesis 6:19-21, it is written:
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.
Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
In Genesis 7:2-3, it is written:
Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

Yummy, yummy critters.

And don't even try to imagine how much poop a T-Rex might create ...so again, dino eggs.
But I've looked and I can't find the section on Dino eggs.

JoePhilly
(27,787 posts)And I'm pretty sure RINOS don't have eggs.
But, they also create large amounts of waste ... elephants too.

A lot of the stories in the Bible is just them putting together a bunch of old stories together in to what they think is a cohesive whole.
I'd pay to see Gilgamesh put on screen.
