Dinosaurs existed; surely that is undeniable. But when?
The problem for YECs, including of course KellyJay, Josephw and the like, is that if the earth and all life on it is circa 6,000 years old as they claim, then this means that humans and dinosaurs coexisted. And if they coexisted then how come none of them were on Noah’s ark?
From the Bible Genesis 7 : 1-4
The Lord then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation. 2 Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, 3 and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth. 4 Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.”
Here are the choices as I see them:
1) dinosaurs existed and went extinct long long before humans existed. But this means that creation can’t be 6,000 years old and biblical literalism unravels.
2) dinosaurs coexisted with humans but were left off of the ark. But this means that the Genesis account above is incorrect and biblical literalism unravels.
3) post some more fur-balls about “mindlessness” or divegeester being an apostate in the hope that the ensuing argument will distract from the OP
4) carry on ignoring divegeester, (except for periodically calling him a liar) and carry on shaking the sand from my shoes while keeping my zealot head firmly in my ass.
