>ALL of them went extinct. There is NOTHING in Genesis that leads one to believe that there were hatchlings and newborns on the Ark instead of adult animals of breeding age.
There’s only the phrase “the male and his female” to indicate that they WERE of breeding age; but that is ignoring the art of animal husbandry wherewhich humans assign the pairings.
>That’s manufactured to get to the belief that eggs and hatchlings of extinct creatures were somehow on the Ark.
And you’re stating that there was absolutely no way they were on the ark; even though the story gives TONS of leeway for such specifics, like the actual cosmetic-structure of the ark: we’re given dimensions and several design-requirements, but it could have looked more like a giant box or more like a modern freighter (hull-shape-wise).
But you’re also discounting that I have also acknowledged the possibility that dinosaurs were extinct PRIOR the flood.
>Dinosaurs before the Flood....no dinosaurs after the Flood.
Certainly DOES NOT preclude the possibility that dinosaurs died PRIOR to the flood, which I HAVE acknowledged as a possibility.
>The notion that dinosaur eggs or hatchlings were on the Ark is not quite as ludicrous as Man walking in the land of 100+ meat eating dinosaurs.
Which is obviously just as ludicrous as man walking in the land of Lions, Hyena, and Alligators, right? {Oh, wait, we call that place Africa!}
That works great for domesticated livestock....how's that fit the dinosaur hatchling hypothesis? Whole lot of running in circles to explain how dinosaurs were alive 4,351 years ago.
And you’re stating that there was absolutely no way they were on the ark
That's EXACTLY what Im stating. Even taking into account the mental hoops needed to jump through to have dinosaurs living in the age of Man, the "leeway" in Genesis does not allow for 100+ species of large meating dinosaurs having been around.....or having been on the Ark. Not in egg form, not in hatchling form......in a form needed to reseed the Earth, as IS stated....reproductive age form. I know....to explain it all away, Man must've taken out some vengeance on ONLY the dinosaurs and killed off God's creation that God wanted reseeded onto the Earth as He demanded. Such hubris Man has...
Dinosaurs DID die off before the alleged Flood...millions of years before.
Lions, hyenas, and alligators......are not large meat eating dinosaurs.
