I'm just curious, you know? I mean, you Christians live your entire life based on these stories, right? If you don't know the answer to the questions, then you must surely question the validity of the whole story, right? Or do you pick and choose which parts to believe and which not?
Or do you Christians still believe that dinosaur bones in the earth are a plant by the devil to mislead mankind?
No, seriously, why do you believe so tenatiously in something you don't even have a thousandth of the answers for? Do you also believe that Snake Oil actually cures baldness? If I told you it was true, would you believe it then? How can you base your life, morals and values on something you cannot even answer questions for?
So tell me, how did Noah get over THREE MILLION animals onto his little boat? And how did he collect them in just a few days? How did he collect animals from what is now called South America?
C'mon, its YOUR belief, why can't you answer the question?

Dinosaur bones were created by Satan to fool good Christians into believing the scientific method.

I copied and pasted this because these people are more educated than I regarding this topic:
How did those huge dinosaurs fit on the Ark?
Although there are about 668 names of dinosaurs, there are perhaps only 55 different “kinds” of dinosaurs. Furthermore, not all dinosaurs were huge like the Brachiosaurus, and even those dinosaurs on the Ark were probably “teenagers” or young adults.
Creationist researcher John Woodmorappe has calculated that Noah had on board with him representatives from about 8,000 animal genera (including some now-extinct animals), or around 16,000 individual animals. When you realize that horses, zebras, and donkeys are probably descended from the horse-like “kind”, Noah did not have to carry two sets of each such animal. Also, dogs, wolves, and coyotes are probably from a single canine “kind”, so hundreds of different dogs were not needed.
According to Genesis 6:15, the Ark measured 300 x 50 x 30 cubits, which is about 460 x 75 x 44 feet, with a volume of about 1.52 million cubic feet. Researchers have shown that this is the equivalent volume of 522 standard railroad stock cars (US), each of which can hold 240 sheep. By the way, only 11% of all land animals are larger than a sheep.
Without getting into all the math, the 16,000-plus animals would have occupied much less than half the space in the Ark (even allowing them some moving-around space).

"Grace like Rain" and "correlationrevelation" answered one of the questions quite well. Do you know how big that ark was and how long it took to build it? At least eighty years, as I recall. "Little boat"? Ha!
About the dinosaurs: They were quite possibly extinct by then, and in fact, one theory is that they became extinct during the flood. If not, you'd be suprised just how small baby dinosaurs are comparitively to the adults. He didn't "collect" the animals. God can actively direct the animals to him. And who said it was in a few days? How they were fed? Did Noah take the time to stock up on food? Maybe. Why not considering how long it took to build the ark? Then again, God has fed the Israelites manna...I'm sure he can feed the animals too.

First of all your math is way off. Second you would think that he stocked food for himself as well as for the animals before the flood came. Third the dinosaurs were more than likely already extinct by the time humans came to earth.
Confirmed: About what species are indigenous to which regions. That, with respect, is not an argument that to me holds water. We do not know the geography or weather conditions on the earth before the flood. What is clear is that (for you, ASSUMING there was) the flood, such a cataclism would have changed everything. In fact why is it that scientists/archaeologists have found fossils/species in areas they were not indigenous to.

There was never such a thing as a brontosaurus. It was a mistake. Scientists accidentally mixed up some diplodocus and brachiosaurus bones creating what they thought was a brontosaurus...so Noah did not need to keep a brontosaurus on the Ark.

Nevermind dinosaurs, we can assume they were gone by the supposed flood. Where did Noah get a kangaroo? Last I heard, they were not native to the Middle East. Same with koala and polar bears?
But any christian will tell you that the bible is not meant to be taken literally. Jesus lied for dramatic affect, as did all the others. Ask them about the rapture and this verse: "Amen, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. " (Mark 13:30-31) But of course, Jesus wasn't talking to the people he was talking to, he was talking to YOU CHRISTIANS, right? NOT!!!
Prove me wrong christians, I've got a bible full of proof!

Wow! Those are some harsh words. Noah lived after the dinosaurs so he didn't take any. I'm Christian, but I personally believe that evolution and creation are not mutually exclusive.

I dunno where your getting the # 3 million at. because since He was to take 7 of each clean kind and 2 of each unclean kind, that actually adds up to right around 280. period... on the ark... and as far as dinosaurs go their noted all over the bible soo they had to survive the flood soo the only way was by the Ark...its logic not just belief....

Evil man, Those critters were planted there by Satan. He wanted to fool us into believing the world is older than what the bible claims it is. Don't you realize that when the Bible's verses are wrong it's not the bible, it's Satan. The bible is never wrong. Never, you hear me? Never.
Now, where's that collection plate so I can give more of my money to the truth fullness of the bible. Then I shall walk among you with my holier than thou attitude and look down upon you heathen. Then off to the massage parlour.
