how do fundamental Christan's deal with the dinosaur issue, especially Noah's ark?

Answer 1

We do not deny they existed.
I believe they were present and died in the flood.

Science backs this belief too.

The oil deposts that we now use are biological matter that is believed to have been deposited in low lying area.........such as would happen in a great big huge flood........

Sound familiar?

Answer 2

Personally, I know of no issue. We know, because the sun was created on the 4th "day", that these "days" of creation are almost certainly *not* the same as the 24-hour day which is determined by the rotation of the earth with respect to the sun.

So, there are 2 possibilities:
1) If you believe that the 6 days of creation *are* 24 hour days, then dinosaurs died out after the advent of humanity. Certainly, they could have died before the flood, or eggs been carried by the water or on the ark.
2) If you believe that the 6 days are not 24-hour days (as in the English phrase, "in that day and age", but even more relevant in Hebrew), then scientific theory does not disagree with the biblical account.

Was there something I needed to deal with?

Answer 3

Archeologists (who happen to believe in creation) find dinosaur evidence on an equal level with evidence of man. that the evolutionists never mention.

Noah's ark is well explained. species range was not as great then, so there were less the number than now. and the younger age animals were likely in the ark rather than adults. young animals are less likely to be aggressive like adults when close to the more docile animals.

these factors would help during feeding time and portion rates of provisions. and possibly make waste management easier.

by the time the ark set aground after the flood abated, all the animals would be old enough to go out on their own.

Answer 4

You cannot deny what exists, Christian fundamentalist or not. The bones are proof that dinosaurs lived. There dating shows that they were around a long, long, long, long time ago. The Ark set sail after the time of the dinosaurs, otherwise poor Noah would have had to put them on the boat as well. It is all apart of the time line. Genesis 1 proves that.

- Understand Christianity and the Bible, it explains the any and all apparent contradictory viewpoints people have towards the Bible, reveals it's origin, history & those who wrote it, and reveal its relevance to today’s world.


.....And look up dinosaur issues, noah's ark and many such issues yourself.

I am a Science & History Professor (I deal with facts, figures and evidence) My personal beliefs are my own.

Answer 6

The story goes that fundamentalists once rejected the notion of dinosaurs as being a falsity propagated by the dispersion of false evidence by Satan in the form of fossils.

Nowadays, many fundamentalists believe the fossils themselves are real bones of ancient creatures - that lived about 5-6 thousand years ago with early humans.

Answer 7

At first I really didn't believe that dinosaurs existed.

But in Genisis from the bible. When God made animals, It says that he created every type of animal. (so therefore, i guess dinosaurs would fall into that catorgoery.

Answer 8

I view the fundamentalist Christian's perception of this matter with wonder and pity. Especially when they believe that EVERY word in the Bible is literally true....and this also includes marginal notes and concordences euphemistic language......It's like they're eating the menu instead of the dinner.......

Answer 9

Which specific issue? There are many.

Answer 10

oh it's not a problem, they just pay some "experts" to lie to them about science. since they mostly don't understand science and don't really want to, it's a sweet deal.
