Arkansas Tourism Dept says dinosaurs were on the Ark

"The museum strives to provide a scientifically-plausible history of the earth in relation to the Bible." So claiming that dinosaurs were among the animals on Noah's Ark, as the Museum website does, is scientifically plausible...

I wrote a protest note to the State Parks website (saying, basically, I have no problem with promoting the museum as a tourist attraction, just don't claim it contains "science"), thinking they might care about the opinion of a potential tourist to the state, but got no response.

why is it basing scientific and historical information on the Bible? :eyes:

...which leaves us asking: WTF is it doing being promoted on Arkansas' State Parks site?

With a Southern Baptist preacher in the governor's office, why question WHY the executive branch is promoting religious views?

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

Have they no respect for the elderly?

mainstream until they took over the government. This is absolutely
mind-boggling.

"The museum strives to provide a scientifically-plausible history of the earth in relation to the Bible. The exhibits provide a unique blend of religion, history, and science for viewers.

"This is the first museum of its kind in the U.S. of A.," said Dr. Thomas Sharp, chairman of the Creation Truth Foundation. "There are other museums that tell the biblical story, but nothing of this magnitude." The Creation Truth Foundation, based in Oklahoma, partnered with the Elna M. Smith Foundation, which runs the Passion Play, to offer the new museum."


Why does the museum have to provide a revised view of history to make it fit in with the Bible?? How many of these viewers know the difference between science and history? This is absolutely insane.

:mad: :mad: :grr: :grr:

discover: Were Dinosaurs on the Ark of Noah?

Yes. From a biblical standpoint, it is extremely clear that God created all land animals on day six of the creation week (dinosaurs are land animals), and that He gathered two (male and female) of each kind of land animal into the ark.

Therefore, dinosaurs were included in this group. This is reinforced by statements in Genesis 7, which say that all animals with the breath of life came by pairs into the ark.

That makes it so. All 500 million species of dinosaurs from the Paleozoic through the Mesozoic and all the way to the Cenozic periods. That was some Ark! I always thought that a cubit was the length of the male forearm or an average of between 17.5" and 20.5". The the Ark I always assumed was the length of 2 1/2 football fields, but I guess Noah had a very long forearm.

How did they get any other animals off the ark alive? :)

...up his poopy requires twice weekly trash pickup. The dinosaur dumps from just one pair of Brachiosaurus each day would have provided enough manure to fertilize a ten acre farm. And the museum says that Noah got a pair of ALL animals.

bastards then :)

If Dinosaurs lived during Noah's lifetime, which according to all those begats was about 5 or 6 thousand years ago, and he put 'em on the ark, then they survived the Biblical flood. But now they're all dead. Why? What event, post-flood, killed all those dinosaurs?

...all sorts of irritating questions, when you knows that you should be on your knees prayin to the Lord for everythang he's brung ya in your life. Now you air goin to get an ass whuppin!:spank:

...Noah and the boys were like really really hungery and they bar-b-qued 'em up, which makes the opening scene of the Flintstone's, where Fred orders some dinosaur ribs and they tip over his footy car, biblically correct.

need more proof? Here is a picture of Fred eating a Dino Burger.
