I saw that Discovery Channel program also. I wish that it had gotten into other aspects of the story of the Flood.
Looking at it now, it's really hard to swallow. Four men built a seaworthy vessel that was (according to what I looked up online) 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet tall, with three interior levels, stocked it with pairs (seven of some) of all animals and birds and enough food for all of them for 40 days.
Riiiiiiiiiight.

I think RedHorseWoman has it right except for the dinosuars getting on the ark. God decided that the dinosaurs were no longer needed to fertillize the earth with their massave dung heaps, so he let them all die at the flood. There is even pictorial evidence of this in an old JW book, I believe it was the big old orange book, Paradise something or other. Anyway there is a picture of a dinosaur floating in the flood waters while Gods people are chilling in the big wood floating box.
Sorry tdogg but perhaps the memory plays tricks .
There is on page 42/43 of "From Paradise Lost to Paradise Regained" a picture of corpses of people being tossed in a turbulent sea of flood water , but the only dinosaur is a tiny sillhouette set in a panoramic picture on the inside front cover.Heaven knows why he is there.
Thumbing through that book brougt back memories. Amazing how much I had remembered, and why did they steal the title from Milton?
Not in the Red Sea!
Point of order, Moses and the Israelites crossed the Sea of Reeds (Yam Suf), not the RED Sea). Common mistake though. The Sea of Reeds might be any of the many salt water marshes that dot the Egyptian Delta fed by the Med. A far easier trick than Crossing the Red Sea. Saw a good show on History that said an exploding volcanoe on an island about 500 miles from Egypt could have provided the catlyst for the Marshes being drained as the tidal wave from the explosion grew near. Happened at about the right time and they've found volcanic stone in Egypt that traces itself to this Island Vulcanoe
Jehovah created the dinosaurs to stomp down the ground on the newly formed planet. You know, like big earth movers. After the flood they weren't needed. It is really that simple. As for the Egyptians, some very prominent Assyriologists have proven beyond doubt that the records were faked up. If the CEO of Tyco can do things like that why do we deny that the Egyptians, who claimed an eternal lineage back to Ra, would do it to keep their power intact. Hope that helps.

Know_you: Are you implying that humans and dinosaurs coexisted up until the flood?
Listen very carefully - the Flintstones is on the cartoon channel, not the history channel.
Running-nose man,
I'm not implying anything. Jehovah created the dinosaurs and after they'd done their job they weren't needed anymore but he didn't just execute them. In any event, there were unlikely to have been many around before the flood because they were part of the "flesh" Jehovah gave to man and so many would have been used to satisfy fallen humanity's craving for flesh.
But I see that, as usual, you neatly evaded the meat of my argument about the Egyptians which is the topic of this thread. Have a spine, man!
Know_You
Let me get this straight. The CEO of Tyco lied, therefore the Egyptians must have also lied.
Using your very own logic, I would like to put forward that since it is cloudy today, therefore the Bible must be fake.
Is that meaty enough for you?
By the way, your scenario of God giving the Dinosaurs to Noah as food is kind of like feeding dogs to kibbles.
I misunderstood your original comments. I thought that you meant that the dinosaurs were killed off in the flood. As it turns out, you think that the dinosaurs existed after the flood. How could they possibly have survived the flood, you moron? The measurements of the ark were nowhere near big enough to hold a dino. Even the Society doesn't spew this kind of crap.
wasn't the flood 3500 bce according to the WT????
No, the society places the flood around 2370, if memory serves me correctly. Other religions place it about 150 years earlier, due to some uncertainty in the wording of the age of Abraham's father. Under the earlier scenario, Abraham's and Noah's lifespans would have crossed, creating a rather strange and inconsistent circumstance.
