Dinosaurs existed until the Flood. Now they may still be around considering there has been sightings of the Loch Ness monster and the Chesapeake Bay monster. I know there are more sightings than these 2 but these are all I have in mind right now. Scientists are always "discovering" "new" species, so who's to say that the living dinosaurs are not out there. Also, atmospheric conditions were much different before the Flood. If you look at Genesis 1:6, 9, 2:5 & 6 carefully you'll see that there was a layer of water in the sky. The earth was watered by a mist from the ground. And before the Flood (Genesis chapter 7) it never rained. That may have something to do with man living 900 years and may have allowed the lizards we know today to continue growing to the phenomenal sizes we know as dinosaurs.

THERE IS NO MONSTER IN LOCH NESS!!!!
Trust me, I am Scottish. We made it up to con tourists. Please stop going on about it.
I love the, 'lizards lived longer so they grew bigger' theory.
So the why don't we find absolutely gigantic fossils of humans. In your fantasy, humans would be HUGE, humans are bigger than lizards, so if humans lived so much longer than according to your batshit insane ideas we would be finding fossils of giants.
I do rogue dives in the Chesapeake. Mainly to see if I still have my SCUBA skills from the Army. Also, for the fun of it. While I have found cars, tvs, dressers with clothes in them and a few other assorted odds and ends...the only monster in the Chesapeake is me in a wetsuit.
*rawr*
Don't you think it is just a little strange (or not) that only fundies believe water covered the earth and dinosaurs still exist?
Considering fundies look no further than the bible, you should notice the pattern.
How would it NOT raining let people live for centuries longer than they already do? Wouldn't it make it so that there was, you know, less water for there to be readily, and thus make lifespans shorter? Unless you are saying that we live shorter BECAUSE we drink water...damn you original sin of thirst!
Seriously...the water canopy idea, in of itself, is ridiculous enough. When you try to use the idea of a water canopy to justify the idea that people lived for almost 1,000 years (this, of course, happening less than 6,000 years ago...) and allowed creatures to become giant...you simply begin to drown in your own idiocy.
Cryptozoology for Jesus Award?
But I'm sure Chessie, Champ (the "monster" in Lake Champlain), and Nessie all get together sometime to have a laugh at the crazy humans who try to find them.
"I know there are more sightings than these 2 but these are all I have in mind right now."
Let me provide the complete list for reference:
* Chesapeake Bay monster
* Loch Ness monster
* Bigfoot
* Dragons
* Krakens
* Mermaids
* Unicorns
* Leprechauns
* Living Elvis
* Compassionate Republicans
* The 'naked Lara' cheat for Tomb Raider 1
* Talented Christian rock musicians
* Paris Hilton's sense of shame
This folks, is fundie "Science" in a nutshell. No matter how ludicrous or warped it it, so long as it fits the Bible, it's OK!
I'm hurt that nobody's mentioned Ogopogo. Make believe monsters have feelings too.
Has anyone else noticed that the sighting of these monsters has gone down as public drunkenness is becoming less prevalent. I guess also in this day and age, people would demand photos. Not those grainy, blury things from the 50's.
Anyway isn't this copypasta off of Hovinds site?
@Ambrielle:
Aye, along with sending the american tourists off to haggis hunting.
Now, would that be the right-legged haggis or the left-legged haggis?
#499363 - Comicartist ROFLMAO that's the funniest thing ive seen in a long time.
seriously, we can say what we will about these amusing "beliefs" but the belivers won't listen, I was told that dinosaurs are not real, but were actually just giant alligators, lol, heard that when i was 12, and i made a presntation on dinosaurs to no avail, the information i gathered was regarded as a hoax made to delude the general public.
Three things I had figured out by the age of ten.
1. Religious "nuts" are aptly named.
2. The events described in the Bible did not happen as described in the Bible.
3. The Flintstones was not a historical documentary.
I really hope seasaint is less than ten. Otherwise we are dealing with a major idiot.
Dinosaurs... aren't... lizards... And The Loch Ness Monster wouldn't be a dinosaur, either.
... Er... The earth was watered by a mist from the ground? It never rained before 'the flood?' This is a lot of 'WTF?'... Talk about pulling random things out of your ass.
I don't know about big sizes = age. My grandmother is a 100 years old this year and still going strong, but she's still only 5'3".
I bet she'd take a stick to you if you dared spout such nonsense to her.
Wow, a couple of lakes where the rubes have seen some driftwood floating in the water, and that counts as evidence for dinosaurs?
Seriously, if you look a the pictures of the supposed monsters with the idea that they're probably driftwood, they sure look a lot like twisted branches. If you're sure they must be Plesiosaurs, then maybe they look like dinosaurs.
The Loch Ness Monster is most likely a plesiosaur, and thus not a dinosaur.
And it never rained before the flood? Um, I don't think that would allow someone to live 900 years. That would more likely kill him early. Not to mention everything else.
There is no evidence that living in a state of purpetual hydration promotes greater growth than just getting ample water, thought there is evidence of flowing water before the "flood", a little something we like to call water erosion, the Colorado River, and the Grand Canyon.
If you look at Genesis 1:6, 9, 2:5 & 6 carefully you'll see that there was a layer of water in the sky.
And if you read other parts of the Bible, you'll see there was a "firmament" up there, too. They're both baloney.
may have allowed the lizards we know today to continue growing to the phenomenal sizes we know as dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs weren't lizards. They weren't especially big, either. They just put the biggest ones in museums because they impress the tourists.
Nessie would be a plesiosaurus - sauropterygia - even farther from dinosaurs than crocodiles.
Geez, why do everyone think all extinct reptiles are dinosaurs?
considering there has been sightings of the Loch Ness monster and the Chesapeake Bay monster.
Also the giant talking mice and ducks that inhabit Anaheim, Tokyo, and parts of Florida and France. Come on, now, we've all seen them.
"And before the Flood (Genesis chapter 7) it never rained."
