Now there’s a theory that dinosaurs were wiped out in Noah’s flood

 By Vicky Hallett December 30

Folks who identify as “creation scientists” have no problem with the notion that dinosaurs once roamed the Earth. They just think the beasts lived alongside humans on a planet that’s only about 6,000 years old.

Their extinction theory? The dinos were wiped out 4,000 years ago in the worldwide flood described in Genesis.

This is the version of history on display at the Ark Encounter, a $100 million theme park in Williamstown, Ky., that features a reproduction of Noah’s boat. And it’s the subject of “We Believe in Dinosaurs,” an upcoming documentary that is fundraising through Indiegogo.

The secular team behind the film — including Morgan Spurlock of “Super Size Me” fame — believes in evolution and promises to tell viewers “the story of the unsettling and uniquely American conflict between science and religion.” They have three years of footage of the building of the new ark, the protests against it and interviews with individuals on both sides of the issue. Two of the big names in the film are Ark Encounter leader Ken Ham and science educator Bill Nye, who squared off in a high-profile debate about evolution in 2014.

Not all creationists are young earthers. The opposition loves to lump us all together with the young earthers but it is not accurate to do so.

I don't think the dino's lived at the time of Noah, personally.

BTW, a sizeable percentage of cellular biologists are abandoning evolution because the complexities of the cell's components and their functions REQUIRE a designer. They just have to be careful who they talk to if they want to retain their jobs.
