Central to creationist theory is that all species that either currently exist or have become extinct, were created during the Seven Days. [excerpt, bold emphasis mine]That is a very popular strawman.
Dinosaurs existed. There is too much fossil evidence of their existence to deny that. Dino fossils have been discovered in the Middle East (where most of the Bible story occurs), yet dinos are never mentioned in scripture. [excerpt]The scriptures (and the original English translations thereof) predate the word dinosaur.
More to the point, WHY have we never found mammal or human fossils in the same geologic layers as dino fossils? Creation theory demands that they all existed at the same time. [excerpt]Your definition of 'Creation theory' is a strawman.
Declaring it a strawman argument allows you to dismiss it without answering.
So, what is your understanding of the large number of currently existing species, and their relationship to the Ark?
Were all currently-existing species present on the Ark?
I would be happy to hear your explanation.
That's very telling. Humans talk. Humans give names to things because they otherwise cannot talk about them to anybody. One would think that huge critters walking around would result in discussion, which would require their getting a name?
Dino fossils have been found around the Middle East, indicating that they once were wandering the area, yet no Middle-Eastern records mention them, and no words for them seem to exist.
So, do you think dinos made it onto Noah's Ark?
