Dinosaurs are a bit of an embarrassment for the Watchtower. What did you hear about them?
- Were they a 'creative' experiment by God?
- Were they used to flatten the land with their big reptilian feet? (I swear I heard this being put forward seriously!)
- Did their manure help to fertilize the earth? (idem! )
- Did they perish during the Flood?

Hi Deus
They fulfilled their purpose for the earth whatever that might have been so g'd removed them in advance of human creation.
Maybe someone else could come up with some quotes from the JW liturgy.
Not even the WTS is stupid enough to say (currently) they were around for the flood.
They were all herbivores, though.
I also heard the "giant fertilizer" hypothesis. Funny how God created the entire universe, but needed to create something else in order to produce fertile soil. Why not just say " 'Let there be fertile soil', and it was so.' " ? And wouldn't He have had to create plants for them to eat first anyway? And wouldn't the plants need fertile soil? Chicken or egg? But OK - I'm not sure this has ever been stated as a 'theory' be the Watchtower, so it's a bit of a strawman perhaps.
I'm sure the Tyrannosaurus Rex who bit the Triceratops said "Ooops, sorry - I thought you were a tree branch." afterwords (yes, they've found Triceratops skeleton parts with T-Rex bite marks).
Dinosaurs are a huge embarrassment to the WTS and all the rest of the fundies.
I did hear it said that they were all herbivores, and that they were created to fertilize the earth and supply us with petroleum products!
What nonsense. Taking a look at them helped me to leave. When you realize that something like 98% of all species that have ever lived went extinct before man came on the scene, Genesis becomes a joke.

My dub mom told me that the dino's were put here by jehoober to make the earth hard, you know he needed them to run around with all their weight and compress the ground

I knew some who didn't believe they even existed. Those who did,believed that god used them to eat away the vegetation to make the planet inhabitable for humans. Once this was accomplished, god had no more use for them and wiped them out.

They did in the early 80s. Anyone got a copy of the old My Book of Bible Stories book and can scan the page showing the Flood?

- I get mentally fatigued while reading that. I simply can't be bothered refuting it.
Kent Hovind is a great advocate of the views of answersingenesis.org. He's got a PhD and everything [in the interest of honesty I should mention that he has had quarrels with AiG over his 'theories', but all in all he propegates their Bible based creationist views].
Sadly, he's in jail now for tax evasion, but while we wait for more of his brilliant lectures, we can have a look at this:
ya leo and there were also dinos on the inside cover of the Paradise Lost book too.
