The description of a dinosaur in the Bible

[loco]

Yeah right... there were lots of polar bears in the middle east where the people who wrote the Bible lived...

I was not being serious, columbusdude82!  Lighten up!   

[columbusdude82]

Oh, you were? I never know with you.

So, tell me, how then did the polar bears make it onto Noah's arc?

[OTHstrong]

oh brother whats next?

why Noah didn't save 2 of them.......... damn boat was too small

that text could be anything, plus, they had no idea about dinosaurs...... and please that is a book = story
written by different peoples with different ideas, a collection of texts all pointing in the same direction......

First off, your comment about the ark is a common misconception. The boat was so big that not only it could fit all the animals, but possibly 2 or 3 times over. Consider the boats dimensions (300 cubits, 50, and 30. As in length, width and height.) This can be translated into 450 feet by 75 by 45. So the boat ends up being a whopping 1 518 750 cubic feet; a baby elephant will take up 12 cubic feet. Forty thousand baby elephants barley makes a dent in this number (over one and a half million). See what kind of results you can have if you just stop and think. "All the animals can't fit" is just a stupid argument.

This brings me to "ignorant comment number 2" They didn't know about dinosaurs. Thats why you see ancient drawings of dinosaurs and other types of species in caves and on building walls from all regions of the earth China, Mexico, England, and many parts of Africa. Clearly you just like to pick a side without doing your own research.

let's not forget Noah's Ark must have been high-tech. You need air conditioning to keep the animals cool, a fridge to store perishable food, aquariums to keep all the freshwater fish (die in salt water), and electricity powered lights to see at night since the number of candles/ torches required to light up a boat that size at night would pose a serious fire threat. Apparently, Noah invented the technology for all of this about 2,000 yrs ago.

Have you seen the boat yourself? You describe it so vividly.

As for the "ancient drawings of dinosaurs and other types of species in caves and on building walls from all regions of the earth China, Mexico, England, and many parts of Africa," care to share those pictures with us?

[columbusdude82]

OneTimeHard, since you know so much about the Ark, tell us... did Noah go up to the North Pole and get polar bears and seals BEFORE the flood, or did he pick them up after the flood had started? Did he then make it to Australia in time to save the Kangaroos and other Marsupials?

Actually 4400 years ago. if your going to participate at least have the courtesy to get your numbers right.

I wish you could see the delicious irony in what you just said

The same magazines, such as national geographic, that teach you about evolution show these ancient drawings. I am actually looking at one right now. You think I'm making this up. As soon as I find out how to post these pictures I'll post at least 20 of them.

Your making a false assumption that the world was the same pre-flood that it is today. Hasn't anybody told you that we know for a fact that the northpole was at one point actually tropical. Hundreds of evedence of this, one being the frozen willy mamoth that they found in the north-pole with green vegetation still in its mouth. This being the case every single animal could have been at his doorstep. Nice try CD82, but at least your being more seriouse then your usual grade three comments.

[columbusdude82]

Oh brother... are you telling me that polar bears and kangaroos lived in what is now the middle east?

[OTHstrong]

Oh brother... are you telling me that polar bears and kangaroos lived in what is now the middle east?

Oh brother your getting sent to school today. Another false assumption; where ,please tell me where and how you know that noah was from the middle east. I have read the Bible so many times and It does not say where he is from, he could be from Australia for all we know.BTW if elephants are found in the north pole then ya kangaroos could have lived there, but we don't know that and its irrelevent. So far you've done nothing to poke a hole in this, but please keep trying because I will be glad to answere all your question, every single one.

[columbusdude82]

OMG... so Noah may have lived in Australia, Kangaroos may have lived in the North Pole, and Elephants are found in the North Pole.

Go on. Amuse us some more You're too easy!

so noah did exist....... please don't answer

[columbusdude82]

so noah did exist....... please don't answer

No. Let him entertain us. He is far too easy a target to make fun of

[OTHstrong]

Go on. Amuse us some more You're too easy!

your doing nothing, I am at least answereing your question. And if you don't know about the willy mammoth found up north then your completly lost; everybody knows about that, ask, you'll see.

[beatmaster]

and what about adam & eve........ what do they know about noah?

[OTHstrong]

No. Let him entertain us. He is far too easy a target to make fun of

Your comments show that I am overwhelming to you and your clearly not in an intelligible debate seeing that the only thing left for you to do is make fun instead of throughing something at me that at least holds a little bit of weight.

[columbusdude82]

Answer me this then. How did Noah stop the carnivorous dinosaurs on board from eating other animals?

Did Noah bring fish, crustaceans, worms, and bacteria on board too? What about plants?

[/quaote]It is my understanding that before the flood dinosaurs lived with man and almost all were discontinued in the flood. Also this doesn't matter much, but that is only speculation that dinosaurs were meat eaters. They may have been or not but only speculation.

[columbusdude82]

I learn something new with every new post of yours. Dinosaurs may have been meat eaters but that is only speculation.

Now tell me, what do you think should be the penalty for homosexuality?

I don't follow; is this another grade 3 moment

[columbusdude82]

No. I am asking you questions. You are obviously a very learned Biblical scholar and eminent scientist. I am learning so much from you.

so now your mocking. What is the reward for this?

[columbusdude82]

Oh no, far from it. Here I was thinking that kangaroos and other marsupials had evolved in isolation in Australia, and that some dinosaurs (like T-rex) were carnivores.

Please, teach us some more

[beatmaster]

damn, that noah guy was a crazy dude, dinosaurs on board........ how do we know that those big guy didn't eat something we never saw....... and the trees how did he fixed that?


just wondering, volcano....... i mean with the big flood and everything, those who are 100,000 of years old if not millions....... how come they are still burning?     and insects....... ahhhhh forget it.

that noah guy was full of surprise i'll tell you that
