    The world is full of omnivores and carnivores. Sure, the dinosaurs were too, but there is no evidence man killed them.

    Wooly Mammoths and sabre toothed tigres on the other hand had intimate knowledge of man - we killed lots of one and were sometimes the dinner of the other. There are human bones with scars from sabre tooth tigers for example.

    The earth covered with water. Where did it all come from? Where did it all go? And in 40 days remember!

    A boat with the capacity for all that food??!?

    Fossils are not dated by the depth that they are buried. The exact method depends, but the radioactive decay or carbon or the Argon / Potassium ratio is usually used. Fossils can be on the surface or miles underground. These values are not altered by much except time.

    Crocodiles are not dinosaurs. They lived at the same time, but they are not the same. Different bone structure for example.
    The most common question asked about the validity of Noah's ark is, "How could millions of different animals fit on one small boat?"

    First, there were not millions of animals. Not every "kind" of animal was needed to be on board. According to the Biblical text., neither insects nor amphibians would have been taken on board. Only those animals which could not have survived a year long flood needed to be on board. Furthermore, every minor variation of animal (species) was not present. Wolves, foxes, coyote, and dogs could have come from an original dog kind.
    Making the generous assumption that the average animal size is as large as a sheep, and between 2 and 7 of each kind of animal were taken, 16,000 sheep-size animals, at the most, would have been on board. This number could have been as low as 2000 if the Biblical "kind" is equivalent to the family level of modern animal classification. These numbers include every known living and extinct type of mammal, bird, amphibian, and reptile.
    This was no small boat. Noah and his family had over 100 years to construct a vessel longer that a football field and three stories high. The total space available was equivalent to 522 railroad stock cars. A stock car holds 240 sheep so the ark could have held 125,000 animals.
    At most, only 40% of the total space was needed for all of the animals! The remainder would be used for food and storage.
    The account of Noah's flood is similar to many other Biblical stories. They make perfect sense if you assume they mean exactly what they say and take time to study them carefully.

    This is my Signature. Just imagine it being a mind blowing axiom.
