what later time did they become extinct? I am speaking of the well known types such as Brontosaurus, T-Rex, Stegosaurus, Hadrosaurs, Triceratops, Allosaurus, etc., and not anything that some loon wants to say still exists. Fundies, I am thanking you in advance for being specific with your answers, and for providing your sources.

Fundies, this question is for you, although all are invited to answer.

All I got from the fundies was back-pedalling, "there is some evidence of....", the bible doesn't say, but apparently.....", "bears some resemblance to...." There was not one specific answer or source.

They never existed!
Science created them as a lie!
I'm just kidding, religion is retarded and unneeded to hold any specific belief.

I'm a Christian who now thinks outside the box. Here is my answer to your question. Noah's flood was the second not the first flood mentioned in The Bible. The six days of creation were not 24 hour days but six seperate eras of modern evolution. These eras consisted of millions or billions of years to each era.The first world wide flood is already in progress on the first day of the six days of creation in the book of Genesis. The God Yahweh used this flood to end the last prehistoric era and when the sea level went down and dry land reappeared God started to create species of life in the modern era of evolution which the modern human was the last of God's modern species to coexist on Earth in modern times. Mankind would never have dominion over dinosaurs if we existed together. So what I'm saying is that God drowned the last era of dinosaurs on the first day of creation. God and The Bible are not counting the billions of years the Earth existed in it's prehistoric state. So in reality the dinosaurs were extinct from the first day of creation up until the time of Noah. Which could have been millions of years. So there were no dinosaurs alive at the time of Noah for him to bring on board his ark. I also no longer believe the Leviathan and Behemoth mentioned in The Bible were dinosaurs but could have been some kind of huge mechanical machines that God used on Earth at that time. That people who might have saw them thought they were huge prehistoric creatures of the past. There is a whole lot more a can write on this subject but don't have the time right now to talk about it.

As the appearance of the rainbow means that either water or light had to change their properties, dinos were not able to adapt to the new conditions and rapidly died out. This is not to mention that they and other predators did not have a good food source. Come to mention it, plant life would have drowned or been crushed under the immense water pressure and the herbivores would have starved.

First of all, when Noah took 2 of the unclean and 7 of the clean animals on board, who says they were full grown(there are some decent books on this topic though to me it doesn't really matter). Secondly, who knows if they were not extinct before this. Thirdly, the final chapter of Job talks about leviathan which appears to be some type of fire breathing dragon, however Psalms talks about God dashing leviathan in the desert, killed not by the hands of men. Just because you don't understand it (along with almost everything) doesn't make it not true.
Oh, and if you believe in evolution there is one problem with it-it requires death which means that man was never perfect which means ... I don't know. Man thinks he is moving closer and closer to the truth, and does not realize he is moving farther away from the truth - devolution. if this is the proper word I don't know.

Actually there is some evidence that some of them lived even up into the Medieval ages. The "Thunder bird" of the Indians resembles a Taradactile (Sorry if my spelling is wrong) and where do you think the legends of dragons came from? Ever notice any similarities between dragons and dinosaurs. All of the is just conjecture of coarse, but who can say that it is not the case. We do have writings in the Bible in the time of Job that certainly resemble dinosaurs. Bottom line is that there are no records of the end of the dinosaurs so your guess is as good as mind, and remember that my guess is as good as your too.

I am a fundamentalist Christian. I in no way believe that dinosaurs were on board. They were extinct before man even roamed the earth. I think that is clear to both non Christians and Christians alike.

The bible doesn't say but it is apparent from the bible that there were great changes in the environment - climate, weather patterns, landscape changes etc. - because of the flood. and so there is reason to believe that after the flood, the dinosaurs died out because of those changes.
god bless

I believe they live about 65 million years ago. I don't think the ark could hold just one dinosaur.

as far as i know, no "fundies" believe that. except for the select few who believe in the whole "abraham rode on a dinosaur" im a devout christian and i dont believe that, so dont generalize.
God bless!

Dinosaurs were the animals that Noah sacrificed after the flood.
