[Regarding the dangers of having T-rex on the ark]
Gen 1:30
Every beast, includes even the T-Rexs' would eat green herbs till after the flood.

And its carnivore digestive system didn't actually kick in until after the flood, which is when, habituated to eating nothing but green herbs, it starved and finally went extinct?
Apologists love to dig themselves into ever deeper holes.
Where in the piss do they pull this arseshit from? These fundie fucktards just keep outdoing themselves. I have no idea how they keep it up, it really is quite breathtaking. Bravo my good moron, BRAVO.
Are T Rex clean or unclean ?
If they are clean their would have been 14 of them on the ark !!!
If god had the power to make the carnivorous animals eat plants then why didn't he just save himself and Noah the trouble and make it so that they don't have to eat at all for the duration of the trip? I cannot believe that you never ask yourself why these asinine bible stories always sound like there is no god at all and instead it's just people making shit up.
In fact, if god really did make all this including us then what is the point of making us eat? Surely he could have made us so that we're born with all the energy we need. Or are you saying that your god is an incompetent idiot? Or maybe he just isn't there. Geez... now there's a novel thought.
Genesis 1:29, "Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food."
Go chew on the seeds of the laburnum tree or castor plant sometime, then come back afterwards and tell me how literally we should take Genesis 1.
Then where are the fossil finds with both human and dinosaur bones together? If what you say is true, and all the fossils int he world are because of the Great Flood, we should find fossils of humans and dinosaurs together.
Carnivores can't digest plants. Also, the Bible gave certain dimensions for the ark. Some dinosaurs would have exceeded those dimensions by themselves.
You try fitting a creature weighing over 200 tonnes and measuring over 100 feet long onto a boat. Then try putting another one on. Then try fitting all their relatives (of similar size) on.
Plants? With teeth like that? You've got to be kidding me.
Also, two of each of these would be kind of hard to squeeze into a confined space.
"Every beast, includes even the T-Rexs' would eat green herbs till after the flood."
No, that's until after the Fall . At least according to all those other nutjob Christians who believe such bullshit.
And you don't use teeth that look like over sized steak knives to eat a fern you jackass.
The Creation Museum. That's where they're getting this shit from. One of my professors last semester got to interview Ken Ham (founder of Answers In Genesis). He was asking him about the "science" behind the creation museum and asked him this question:
"How many sheep would a T-Rex have to eat PER DAY in order to stay alive on the ark?"
Without missing a beat, Ham replied (paraphrased because I was laughing too hard to write it all down, sorry):
ALL animals were herbivores before the Fall. Therefore, they had the capability to revert back to that state during times of severe food shortages, like on the Ark. They fed all of the animals with grain, which took up much less room and resources than trying to feed the carnivores with meat.
...I think I died a little on the inside.

"But that's true. Before the Flood, predators used their strength and agility to subdue fruit trees, which were very fast runners back then."
i ell oh elled at that one.
The dinos themselves would have taken up too much room, but when you factor in the space needed for their food - leafy or meaty -you're looking at impossible dimensions for a wooden ship. Besides, a global flood would have wiped out nearly all vegetation for the animals that are ARE herbivorous!
AiG says that T-Rex ate plants until the fall of Adam, at which point it suddenly started eating meat.
You'd think the YEC's could agree on such details, especially when the logistics of an ark would clearly require them. (Not that it matters much, as the dimensions listed for the Ark in Genesis are much too small to fit all the animal species in the world--and that doesn't include partitions, food, or air for the animals to breathe, either, just space for the bodies themselves!)
How the fuck would the food chain work under that system? Not only that, but all those animals would need their anatomy completely redone to accommodate the new diet. suuuurely you must have fossil evidence of this. Oh, like a lion with an herbivore's digestive tract and tooth structure. I mean, you've had (LOL) 6000 years to find it!
@ D
I came, I saw, I LOLed.
"Every beast, includes even the T-Rexs' would eat green herbs till after the flood."
But first, prove the Ark existed. Or the 'Flood' even happened.
Much earlier ancient Chinese records would suggest otherwise.
Right...
Care to explain the T-Rex coprolites (fossilized feces) with bones in them? Or the many fossils with the skeletons of their last meals still within their stomachs? Strange, we find strong evidence of carnivory during your supposed flood, once again proving that creationism is pseudoscience.
@Skeppio, Glad that entertained you ;)
@the dog"can you imagine the explosive farts from a T Rex fed on roughage !!!"
That could explain the Flood, if enough dino farts managed to seep through Hovind's ice canopy that a greenhouse effect would happen, causing said canopy to melt. :P
OHSHI.... I hope no fundie reads this, some of the numbnuts may actually start believing it (though of course most of them would get sidetracked before they can make it to the end of the sentence, as the words "greenhouse effect" would trigger a global-warning-denying rant)
Yeah, so the T. Rexes somehow had digestive systems and appetites meant for both plant and meat matter, but they "converted" to a completely carnivorous digestive system after the flood? (Did they EVOLVE? jk)
So anyway, T. Rexes are about as enthusiastic about eating plants as vegans from PETA are about eating meat. If they had a vegetarian diet, then they would have had long necks to reach the treetops to eat leaves, among other differences.
"Every beast, includes even the T-Rexs' would eat green herbs till after the flood. "
The fact that someone this stupid actually exists is unassailable evidence of a society in desperate need of extermination.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
