Yesterday, Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear announced that his states Creationism Museum will soon be joined by a creationism theme park named Ark Encounter, making Kentucky the unofficial creationism capital of our 6,000-year-old world. Some of the edutainment promised by the park include a Walled City, a Tower of Babel, and a 500-foot-long wooden replica of Noahs Ark that, as was revealed in the press conference, will feature dinosaurs.
A representative from Answers in Genesis, the group that will operate the theme park, stepped in yesterday when Gov. Beshear was asked by a reporter, Will there be dinosaurs on the Ark? The representative, who seemed better prepped on the issue than did Kentuckys Democratic governor, replied,
"Well, you know the position of Answers in Genesis so you can probably answer that yourself. Well have appropriate animals on the ark based onIm sure well have representative kinds of animals on the ark, to include dinosaurs."

Lots of hatred for young earth creationists here on FR.
I’ll be happy to wear a yellow star if that makes anyone here feel better.
LOL
Raptors eat grass?
I disagree. It eats grass like an oxen. I'm thinking maybe something like this:
>>Raptors eat grass?<<
When properly tamed...
I don't think anyone hates YEC. But, when someone says something so facially absurd as this guy did (who happens to be standing next to a Governor at an official press-conference), it's going to be met with absurdity.
Dinosaurs on Noah's Ark is about as facially absurd as it gets, especially when it's said in the context of a "museum".
Not necessary... a dunce cap works fine....
You're right. My agenda is rational critical thinking. And no, it doesn't fit, for a lot of reasons beyond just the two that I mentioned.
I assume you mean a priori.
Too bad their digestive tracts can’t process grass well enough to extract any meaningful amounts of nutrition from it.
It would be like trying to get your kitty cat to live on grass (hint, cats are obligate carnivores, they will starve on a vegetarian diet).
Oh, and grasses didn’t emerge until after the K-T boundary...
Haven't you ever seen "The Dog Whisperer?" Same technique. I think you do the "hook 'em horns" pointing the finger and thumb at the animal, and then stare into the eyes of the dino. They then follow like puppies.
The biggest question never answered was which of Noah's sons had to shovel out the bottom floor? I would think dino dung would need a skiploader!
Dinosaurs? They’re gonna need a bigger boat.
Shem. He always got the sh!t jobs...
Well, I never said they lasted very long that way.
It is like the guy who kept coming into the country store to buy chicks every week and, when asked why so many, replied "They won't grow! I am either burying them to deep or too close together."
19. You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you. 20. Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive. 21. You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them.
"Noah and his boys" wouldn't have to wrest them from their parents. Even, in this day and age we see animals behaving strangely just prior to natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and tsunamis. So it is not entirely inconceivable that they would've acted similarly in those days. Most folks concept of of God is way too small, even folks that consider themselves to be Christians. We tend to put God in a box, and place the same physical, spiritual, and mental limitations on Him that we ourselves experience, and in some cases we think we know better. If God is God, then He can work outside of our limitations, even the perceived limitations that we place on Him. If sovereign God wanted the dinosaurs on the ark, they would have been there, regardless of what our "superior intellect" tells us.
love this one!
EXCELLENT!
That would explain why they are extinct!
>>Not necessary... a dunce cap works fine....<<
Careful! If this gets moved to F-religion there will be a flood the likes of which hasn’t been seen since the Paul-bot flood of 2007-2008!
im a yec, and proud of it.....
i love the ‘scientifc’ gyrations and philosophy masquerading as ‘science’ in an all out effort to avoid the plain meaning of God’s word.....
Ah ... the appeal to rational critical thinking ... which per assumption only your side can engage in lol.
Perhaps you would like to go into the reasons why you believe a pair of dinos on an ark should be dismissed out-of-hand.
