Yesterday, Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear announced that his state’s 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 Noah’s 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 Kentucky’s Democratic governor, replied,
"Well, you know the position of Answers in Genesis so you can probably answer that yourself. We’ll have appropriate animals on the ark based on—I’m sure we’ll have representative kinds of animals on the ark, to include dinosaurs."

I'm sure they've got it all figured out.

NONONO!!
Reality:
As long as there are fundie nut-jobs out there, there will be plenty of grifters to service that market.
I'm sure they've got it all figured out.
I was once a young-earth Creationist, but I'm not any more. That said, given their premise, don't you think it's possible they would have taken juveniles on board rather than full-size adults for many of the larger animals? Or did Noah and God lack that sort of problem-solving ability?
So Democrat Governor Steve Beshear approves of the investment of the Creation Museum? This is odd behavior for a Democrat, even in a Commonwealth.
In the Bible they called dinosaurs donkeys...
Job 40: 15-19
“Look at Behemoth,
which I made along with you
and which feeds on grass like an ox.
What strength it has in its loins,
what power in the muscles of its belly!
Its tail sways like a cedar;
the sinews of its thighs are close-knit.
Its bones are tubes of bronze,
its limbs like rods of iron.
It ranks first among the works of God,
yet its Maker can approach it with his sword.
Sure. Juveniles. That works.
Of course, I'm not entirely sure how Noah and his boys wrested control of these multi-ton juveniles from the protection of their enormous parents. And, I'm also curious how Noah collected these juveniles from the only place on the planet they existed, the Southern Gulf States of the (as yet) discovered new continent of America, and transported them back across the ocean without falling off the face of the flat-earth.
Other than that, yes I think "juvenile" dinos are completely rational.

Sounds like my ex-wife.
I’ve said it before. Australian con artists are the best.
hehehe. I posted that on the wrong thread. ;)
I’m sure we can make it fit here somehow though. :)
Um...wow.
It fits perfectly — the passage seems to be describing a ‘raptor.
Geez you just beat me with the same thing!
Yeah, it does. But that doesn't fit your agenda.
Yeah...
