Not every type of each animal had to be present on the ark. There were only 8 people on the ark but their DNA contained the traits for every race. The same was true for dinosaurs. So not every kind of dinosaur had to be physically present on the ark.

one of the main reasons i think the Earth is at least 20 to 25k years old, is because, i have NEVER bought the ILLOGICAL idea that Dinosaurs were inside the Ark. The Ark, could barely hold land race animals and reptiles. Preachers preaching the Ark being full of Brontosaurus, not only made me cringe, but the look of horror to hear something so retarded coming out from a supposed Man of God, was enough to know back then, most Preachers [[WERE NEVER]] Called by God!

No one ever read, before the Flood, and the men gathered together and went and hunted down the beast that was so big it could contain 2,000 men inside of it.

here's what's funny, Science, over dates dinosaurs and Christians, to fit into their view of Age of Earth, under dates the time of Dinosaurs.

So, in realty, BOTH, are equally LYING!

I have issue with LIARS behind the Sacred Pulpit, or claiming to be a SCHOLAR, and push the Dinosaur co=existed with man.

the Ark, is not even 1/2 the size of the Titanic. and Preachers pushing it was full of dinosaurs.
I recently visited the Ark Encounter in Kentucky, an extension of the ministry Answers in Genesis, where I found rational answers to your concerns. Please stop assuming that fellow Christians are lying; these matters are not "illogical" at all.

Many people (yourself included, apparently) assume that the ark had to hold representatives of every species, of which there are millions. The Bible doesn't use the word species, but rather, kind. So, the elephant kind, the cat kind, the bear kind, and a few kinds of dinosaurs, totaling a few thousand different individuals.

I could share more, but it would be better for you to do your own homework.

but those are the people i pray for.

on my list now is Dawkins.

No doubt, every day he gets up and looks into the mirror, he has to be doing silly things for him to keep denying the existence of God.

Death, did exist before Adam.
Satan, was removed from Heaven, he became DEATH, and brought that Curse to Eve.

how could God warn of Death, if Death, did not exist?
God's word confirms that death entered the world through Adam:

"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come." Rom 5:12-14

As an interesting aside.... did you know that bears are part of the pig family?

I didnt think either that the dinosaurs were on the Ark but for a different reason. I think they came from the intelligence of the angels who mixed the animals God made into large creatures. Been a long time since I looked into this but I see the angels who left their proper place in the heavens ( year 500 to1000 AA) during the times of Jared and destroyed in the flood in year 1656 from creation. Just my 2 cents
Interesting!

No, I think the Dinosaur was not for man to be with, but, it's a device God uses for deniers of God.
the Dinosaur did not have a single purpose we can apply to our own lives other than don't be like them.
ok, yay, Dinosaurs exist!
but they have no real Purpose for a Follower of God.
and still, they were here for a Purpose.
I think it had to do with How we now better understand some of the many Characters and Traits of God.
And some of the things we read that God did in order to confuse the Wise.
other than that, the Dinosaur, means squat that it actually existed.
it means Nothing!
there's nothing for me to gain and glean from the Dinosaur being alive other than I know God created them.
other than that, who Cares?
the Atheist, is the ONE, who cares, about the Dinosaur, not me, the Follower of God.

God's Word indicates that DEATH for HUMANS, came through Adam, but not that DEATH was CREATED by Adam.
You need to read this through the Holy Spirit.
This was a WARFARE TACTIC by Satan.
Your Doctrine basically is giving Satan a break and putting this all on Adam.
that is foolishiness!

even the Verse you posted says DEATH by SIN.
Adam, did not commit the First Ever Sin.
Sin, existed before ADAM.
Adam, just put us into Sin.

even in the story of Eve and the Serpent, the Serpent tells LIES to Deceive before they EAT and Disobey.

so, even in this illustration, the Serpent is SINNING before Adam sinned.

and the Serpent is SINNING because SIN exists and the SERPENT represents the Father of SIN!

Our Holy Bible, clearly and plainly SHOWS US the Serpent is SINNING wellllllll beforeeeeeeeeeeeeee Adam ever thought about Sinning.

How can Adam, be the Originator of Sin?
False Doctrine, is how!

you know, Preachers, WHO WERE NEVER CALLED by God, and here we are years later believing the same baloney!

if you understood, why the Oral Tradition of Enoch was kept all the way until 70 A.D., AND STILL EXISTS IN OUR OWN BIBLE, because they know of the THREE (3) specific WARFARE ATTACKS, the Fallen Angels, tried against God's Creation of humanity.

And the Serpent and Eve, was the First Attempt!

And I always LOVE how God handles these things.
Here, in the Garden, God, provides His First Issued Forgiveness
Continues First Leg of the Lineage

With Noah, God, thwarted a world that had literally given themselves over to every form of EVIL known to exist and they used it for self indulgences just rolling their ilk into layers of sin after sin after sin.
God KILLS THEM!
Continues Second Leg of the Lineage

and when God used the Council, that included God, and members who were Angels themselves, He numbered the Nations to the sons of the Most High God, and divided the tongues.
Here, God CHOOSES Israel as His Own!
that is Our Heritage!
Continues Third leg, where the Lineage of God's People, including the Messiah separating the Advents

Satan thought He Ended God's Plan by KILLING the MESSIAH!
but he did not [know], God, was using it to put the FINAL NAILS into Satan's permanent coffin
Continues the Fourth Leg

Satan, will try once more, using the Antichrist/Beast and False Prophet will be a literal display of demon powers
God will Return with His Armies and at Armageddon, Satan, will get his just entity handed to him.


Of Course, the First Attack began in Heaven, itself, when Satan made himself EQUAL to God!



the Enemy works beginning to end.
We have the ONLY GOD, who knows the End from the Beginning, and Intercedes, to continue His Will in life, and in Our Own Personal Walk with Him.

But NO, Adam, did not commit, nor did Eve, commit the First "Original Sin."
They Committed, "the First Sin," for humans.
Sin, clearly existed, before Adam Sinned.
how much time was between when Satan made himself EQUAL to God, getting thrown down like Lightning to the Earth, and then LYING to Deceive Eve?
an Answer to that question, would be really nice to know.

1 Cor 15: 46 KJV "Howbeit that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural, and afterward that which is spiritual."

I haven't found a single place in scripture that tells us that man's time on the earth is 7,000 years, but if you add it up, including the Millennium. I get 7,000 years for mankind's times upon the earth. According to the above verse, which I consider to be an absolute truth the angels would have to have their time as mortals before then were made spirits. If we got 7,000 years, then I suspect that they got 7.000 years also.
So I get 13,000 years for the age of the earth. thus far...
: )
The angels were never "mortals". They were created as angels long before our universe was created read Job 38:4-7. As far as man's time on the earth, read Genesis 1:27-31 then add up the time. Adam to Abraham 2,000 years, Abraham to Jesus 2,000 years, Jesus till now 2,000 years. Times are of course not exact but close enough.

No, I do not. I'm merely stating the obvious.... if male and female were created on the 6th day, then you must assume that Adam was created from dust, shown the oceans, with the fish, and then he was placed in the garden, and was told to not eat of the tree, then began naming all the animals, was put into a sleep and woman was created, then they were told to go and populate the earth (from the garden?) ....
all on the 6th day.... correct?
First, I need to address some (false) assumptions, then I'll answer your question...

1. Adam did not name all the animals. He only named (at least some of) the birds and land beasts.
2. The Bible doesn't say Adam was shown the seas or the fish. God told him about the seas, and God named the fish.

Now to answer your question:
Yes, the creation of Adam, placing him in Eden, instructions for Adam, naming of birds and beasts, the creation of Eve, instructions to Adam and Eve ... happened on the 6th day.

Do you deny that?
