Quite a find.
Dinosaurs may not be as ancient as we think

The last dinosaur walked the Earth some 65 million years ago but our earliest ancestors didn't evolve until about 3(?) million years ago, so it's simply not possible for us to have co-existed.
Just curious Stephen - or tbwp if you're still around - or both of you, what caused dinosaurs to die out way back then? Is it the age old story a meteor hit the earth, the dust cloud blocked out the suns rays for a period of time causing all life forms to die or something else?

Still tracking....
There's very strong evidence that an asteroid struck the earth some 60 million years ago and caused a mass extinction event. What's certain is that a large number of species came to be extinct within a short geological period and we now know a very large object struck just off the coast of Mexico at that time.
The geology of the area made this particularly destructive because it contained large amounts of gypsum if I remember and that caused a vast cloud of toxic gases to blanket the globe, blocking a great deal of light.

I bet if he rode THAT into Jerusalem, the New Testament would have had a different ending.

Housecat sized cats are bad enough! I can't imagine dinosaurs this size as well.

Some speculated that the dinosaurs continued to grow as they lived which is why we see huge fossils as they were growing the whole time before the flood. This would also mean that they were also on the ark, Noah would have taken younger one not the massive adults.

This thread should be closed or renamed. Everything here of any value disputes the OP’s assertion. Reason and evidence are the foundation of discussion. Literalist reading of ancient Near Eastern poetry is neither reasonable nor productive of evidence.

This is the polite way of saying: This stuff is bonkers!

While that would be amazing, it's not. It's just a bunch of made up stuff to square the Bible's "inerrancy" with reality as derived from scientific research. The problem here is not with biblical inerrancy but with fundamentalism that requires the believer to denounce and disprove everything that doesn't match their scripture. St. Augustine (the guy, not the city) did not place such burdens on either believers or scripture, taking the tales from the Old Testament as simply allegorical messages to teach humanity important lessons without the need for historical accuracy.

There is plenty about ancient history that is not known. However, there is no doubt that dinosaurs were long gone before humanity began. The last dinosaurs went extinct 66 million years ago. The first primates emerged 55 million years ago. The first hominids, so far as we know at present, lived 7 million years ago.
The ark itself is an ancient myth, even preceding the Hebrew version. The notion that dinosaurs were present at the time the myth seems to reference cannot be grounded on evidence of any sort.

If you disbelieve scripture you believe in other writings, in the end, the truth is the truth.

I guess this one just devolves into another stalemate then. A testament to the pointlessness of debate.
It will come as no surprise that the claims in the OP's first post and several subsequent posts has been thoroughly debunked on a site that any competent user of Google could have found as fast as they can type.
