young dinosaurs or eggs were taken onto the ark and the rest of the dinosaurs were drowned eventually

It's honestly beyond comprehension that anyone could believe in the flood story in this day and age. Some of the obvious problems with the story:
* There are millions of species in the world - how could they all fit on the ark?
* How could animals from other continents - such as the Australian marsupials - get to the Middle East to get on the ark?
* How did they get back to their home continents from Ararat afterwards?
* How did Noah and his family feed all these animals for a whole year?
* What did they do with the tonnes of manure produced every day?
* A wooden boat couldn't be built to the dimensions suggested in the story - there is no wood strong enough, and it would capsize instantly.
* A cursory look at the world's geology proves that the flood didn't happen. Look at the Grand Canyon - the walls are composed of layer after layer, showing millions of years, rather than a single layer as would be expected from a single flood event.
* China and Egypt have unbroken written records from before the supposed date of the flood. How did they happen to miss the fact that their entire countries were underwater and all their population died?
* What did everyone - humans and animals - eat once the flood had subsided and everyone disembarked?
...etc, etc.
I don't know why you would want to believe something so obviously contradicted by the evidence. If you really need to believe in God and the Bible, why not do as most people do these days and accept that a story can have worth without being literally true?

Sorry, but the dinosaurs were long dead, fossilised / tuned into oil and rock LONG before the flood.
The flood of Noah occured only some 5000 years ago...seriously, there were NO dinosaurs alive at the time of Noah.
There WERE however some of the larger land animals such as mammoth (herds found frozen in Siberia)...which are not in the same time line as the dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs and humans have never shared the earth.
I also believe that the carbon dating techniques used today are STILL seriously skewed - sometimes in the order of several magnatude, but that's another rant!!
I'm not some idiot Creationist either that believes the whole literal 6 creation days...or that each 'day' lasted 1000 years. Look at it LOGICALLY, whether you believe in creation or not - what was the rush? You're God...there is no time...

I am with Dazza and Daniel R.
have a read from the link below ( and the next few pages that follow it)
"Genesis 7:8-10
Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth, There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah. It came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
Whether by twos or by sevens, Noah takes representatives from each species of "every thing that creepeth upon the earth." Now this must have taken some time, along with expert knowledge of taxonomy, genetics, biogeography, and anatomy. How did Noah manage to collect the endemic species from the New World, Australia, Polynesia, and other remote regions entirely unknown to him? How, once he found them, did he transport them back to the ark? How could he tell the male and female beetles (there are more than 500,000 species) apart? How did he know how to care for these new and unfamiliar animals? How did he find the space on the ark? How did he manage to find and care for the hundreds of thousands of parasitic species? How did he obtain and care for the hundreds of thousands of species of plants? (Plants are ignored in the Genesis account, but the animals wouldn't last long after if the plants died in the flood.) No, wait, don't tell me. A miracle happened. Millions of them. "
I honestly think that if The Book of Genesis had just been discovered say, last week, ( knowing what we now know about the earth in the 21st century ) everyone would be roaring with laughter at it.

What is Theroy? Is that Leroy's brother? What do you think happened to the dinosaurs that lived in the water? If you did some research, you would find that there were no dinosaurs living at the same time as humans. Sue your school. I think you have a case.

So where are these dinosaurs that were taken into the ark?
I'd think it would be a theory that there were dinosaurs during the time of Noah.

It goes like this......
First it has to rain for days and days..............
Then there will be so much water on the earth that the rivers will swell up and water level will rise above the levels of the river banks. At this point the water will spill over on to the streets and all the dwellings along the streets will be flooded with water.........

Sure, unfortunately Noah and his wife fancied a boiled egg for breakfast and the species become extinct.

That's not following the two-by-two edict of God
