killinghurts,
killinghurts writes: I have two questions for creationists out there with regards to the size of the Ark (specifically volume). The constants according to my understanding of The Bible (correct me if I'm wrong) are: a) It has to be big enough to house two (male and female) of each of every single species that has ever existed on Earth, including the dinosaurs, and some error margin for any species we haven't actually discovered yet, or has become extinct since
Incorrect. The only species that would have boarded the ark are the living species that a flood would kill.

onfire,
onfire writes: So what happened to the dinosuars? That didn't kill humans and every other species? Or did humans get "created" after the dinos went extict? How did that creation story go again...?
There are regions of the world that are unexplored such as the swamps of Africa. The swamps of Africa are as large as some of the states in America but yet they are 80% unexplored.

Re: Dinosaurs
Coyote,
Coyote writes: You do realize that dinosaurs became extinct some 65 million years before the Noah's ark myth, don't you? Based on current exploration hence current scientific data. I have old science books that state our universe is 70,000,000 years old but based on current data it is approx. 20,000,000,000 years old. Who knows how old our universe will be in another 50 years. I also remember, historically, scientific data supporting a flat earth and even a geocentric earth. What other scientific data/facts do you have for me?
Coyote writes: And that the volume calculation of the ark is just a thought experiment to show that that specific part of the myth is physically impossible? In theory. Edited by Black, : edit Edited by Black, : edit Edited by Black, : edit Edited by Black, : edit

Re: Dinosaurs
Coyote,
Coyote writes: Science is increasingly accurate. Is that a problem for you? Or are you convinced that science is all wrong and the earth is something like 6,000 years old? If so, find or start an appropriate thread and we can discuss it.
I have respect for Science and Faith. One claims we came from a rock and another claims we came from God. However, they are both theoretical.
No, in fact. That is the whole point of this thread. If you disagree, show some evidence. The actual volume calculation could be fact but what was inserted into the ark is theoretical.
Nothing is coming!

Re: Dinosaurs & definitions
Coyote, Incorrect. The book of Genesis is evidence that the Ark existed. The rest of your post is mute. P.S. I just wanted to make sure we are on the same page. Science becomes faith when you claim microevolution leads to macroevolution or when you claim the fossil record supports macroevolution. Edited by Black, : edit

Re: Dinosaurs & definitions
Theodoric, There is no such thing as proof but however it is evidence.

Re: Dinosaurs & definitions
Coyote, The book of Genesis does indicate that an ark existed therefor it is evidence. I ment mute. In other words: be silent or your post is silent. It's a metaphor. Are we going to attack each other all day or are we going to debate? Edited by Black, : edit Edited by Black, : edit Edited by Black, : edit Edited by Black, : edit
