There are some religious bible thumping wacko's that try to use the bible as a timeline. As a Catholic I don't recall the church teaching the age of the earth, nor the church or bible mentioning that dinosaurs were on the Ark. All creatures mentioned are known. Likely this was well after their extinction. If that poll that LindyBill posted here is correct, then 53% of American adults are indeed "wacko's". If you'd like to take a look around "wacko land", check out these links. Yup, old Noah had a couple of teenage Brachiosaurus' on board the Ark... :-) answersingenesis.org answersingenesis.org 2. So, were dinosaurs on the Ark? In Genesis 6:19–20, the Bible says that two of every sort of land vertebrate (seven of the 'clean' animals) were brought by God to the Ark. Therefore, dinosaurs (land vertebrates) were represented on the Ark. 3. How did those huge dinosaurs fit on the Ark? Although there are about 668 names of dinosaurs, there are perhaps only 55 different 'kinds' of dinosaurs. Furthermore, not all dinosaurs were huge like the Brachiosaurus, and even those dinosaurs on the Ark were probably 'teenagers' or young adults. Creationist researcher John Woodmorappe has calculated that Noah had on board with him representatives from about 8,000 animal genera (including some now-extinct animals), or around 16,000 individual animals. When you realize that horses, zebras, and donkeys are probably descended from the horse-like ‘kind’, Noah did not have to carry two sets of each such animal. Also, dogs, wolves, and coyotes are probably from a single canine ‘kind’, so hundreds of different dogs were not needed...
