Whatever Happened to the Dinosaurs?

[Pastor Deacon Fred]

Friends!

My dear brother in Christ, Jack Chick, has published a new Gospel Tract about how the dinosaurs didn't have enough air to breathe after they exited the ark! What a great message to share with Christian children who are not fortunate enough to attend Christian schools!

I have pondered this question for many years, but I believe that this is the best Biblical and sound explanation I have found so far for why we don't have dragons roaming the earth anymore!

As I am always fond of saying, "Who needs data, scientific research, and silly old facts when you have JESUS! Praise God!"

Check out his new tract here: http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/1038/1038_01.asp

Pastor Deacon Fred!!!
I am such a fan. OMG. If I was to turn from Jesus, I'd turn for you.

Re: Whatever Happened to the Dinosaurs?

God bless Jack Chick. My husband, Mr. Whitford, and I never go anywhere without a good selection of tracts to hand out. It just goes to show you how liberal the media is that they don't have Brother Jack's Godly work on the comics pages!

Re: Whatever Happened to the Dinosaurs?

Praise Jesus, Brother Chick is a fine man and an excellent Christian educator.

My father, the late Pastor Malachai Flint used to tell me stories about Dr. Chick back in the day. I'm glad my dad bailed him out when he did. Praise Jesus.

I still subscribe to Theory of Kentucky Fried Chickenism (not nearly as heretical as the Theory of Evolution) which states that these "dinosaurs" are just chicken and other animal bones found by creative scientists that build them up in elaborate ways.

Re: Whatever Happened to the Dinosaurs?

And God should know. After all, He was there.

Sheer brilliance!

Re: Whatever Happened to the Dinosaurs?



What a rousing climax! The image of Jesus ruling hell from a crown of skulls sent a chill down my spine! Today's youth seems to think hell will be some kind of S&M party with rubber and dominitrix nonsense. Not so!

Pity Jack Chick didn't draw the details of His face, as told in the Book of Revelations: seven eyes, seven horns, sword for a tounge etc.

Monsters Vs. Dinosaurs

Monster prang that doomed dinosaurs



PARIS: The extinction of dinosaurs 65 million years ago can be traced to a collision between two monster rocks in the asteroid belt.
The smash drove a giant sliver of rock into Earth's path, causing the climate-changing impact that ended the reign of dinosaurs and enabled the rise of mammals.
Other asteroid fragments smashed into the moon, Venus and Mars, pocking their surfaces with mighty craters, US and Czech researchers believe. The researchers carried out a computer simulation of the jostling among orbital rubble left from the building of the solar system.
They were guided by an intriguing clue: a large asteroid called (298) Baptistina, which shares the same orbital track as a group of smaller rocks.
Turning the clock back, the simulation found the Baptistina bits not only fitted together, they were also remnants of a giant parent asteroid, about 170 kilometres wide, that once cruised the innermost region of the asteroid belt.
About 160 million years ago this behemoth was whacked by another giant 60 kilometres wide. From this collision was born a huge cluster of rocks, including 300 larger than 10 kilometres.
Eventually a large number of chunks became ensnared by the gravitational pull of the inner planets. About 65 million years ago, a 10-kilometre piece crunched into Earth, unleashing a firestorm and kicking up clouds of dust that filtered out sunlight.
In this enduring winter, much vegetation was wiped out and the species that depended on them became extinct. Only those animals that could cope with the new challenge survived.

It is written that Dinosaurs were vegetarian.

JOB 40: 15-19
Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.


If Dinosaurs were True Christian™ Americans they would eat meat like normal people.
When God created them they were powerful and strong. They decided to be vegetarian.
No wonder they all died!

I still subscribe to Theory of Kentucky Fried Chickenism (not nearly as heretical as the Theory of Evolution) which states that these "dinosaurs" are just chicken and other animal bones found by creative scientists that build them up in elaborate ways.

Many Creation Scientists™ believe that during the Flood, animal bones that were already buried in the Earth were filled up with water, causing them to expand exponentially in size. So many of these "terrifying monsters" actually were chickens, rats, etc. The lengths to which secular scientists will go to get around the Truth© are just astounding sometimes.

I think JESUS rode them around town when HE wanted to make a special impression.

Dinosaur!

Text: Job 40:15-19; 41:1,14-17; Psalm 104:26

Props: a picture of a dinosaur, especially Apatasaurus or Kronosaurus; or a plush toy.

Summary: Jesus made the dinosaurs. The Bible speaks of two creatures in particular.

Can you tell me what this picture is? [picture of dinosaur] Have you ever seen a live dinosaur at the zoo? [no] The dinosaurs have all died, or become extinct as far as we know. If you could change the world, would you bring back the dinosaurs? Some movies try to tell us that humans evolved from non-living stuff. That has never been observed. They pretend to make dinosaurs from dead tissue. That has never been done.

God created us in the beginning. In fact, Jesus created all creatures, including the dinosaurs. The Bible speaks of God creating gigantic beasts and huge sea creatures in one of its oldest books, the Book of Job. We know these creatures really lived at one time because we found their fossils. Fossils are what is left in the dirt. The dinosaurs were taken on Noah's ark, but they could not adapt to the new world after the flood. After many years (perhaps a thousand), they all died off. In the last 350 years, almost 400 species of creatures have disappeared. We also know that dinosaurs lived after the flood, because the Book of Job was written after the flood and it describes two creatures in particular.

The Bible speaks of behemoth (BEE him oath) and leviathan (lee VI eh thawn). The behemoth is most likely the dinosaur scientists refer to as Apatasaurus. Listen to what the Bible says in describing behemoth. [Read Job 40:15-19] Some people have mistaken this description as belonging to an elephant or hippopotamus. Now I ask you, does an elephant's tail look like a cedar tree? No, of course not. But look at this Apatasaurus picture; his tail is as big as a cedar tree!

The Bible says God made the dinosaurs with man. They both lived peaceably, side-by-side, and were vegetarians. Neither man nor the animals were meat-eaters until after the flood. The terrible T-Rex may have become a meat-eater after the flood (and God's curse on the ground). The dinosaurs didn't live for millions of years before man as evolution says. Dinosaurs have never ruled the earth; mankind was given that task by God.

The leviathan was a sea creature most closely resembling a Kronosaurus (KRONE oh SOR us). It seems this creature was still alive when King David wrote in Psalm 104:26 There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein. These creatures were all part of God's marvelous creation. We can praise our mighty God who makes all things well.

What caused the Dinosaurs to become extinct? An explanation from the Bible

All text and images are protected under U.S copyright law.
Do not use without permission.

Question:
"Anybody can plainly see that Behemoth [mentioned in the book of Job chapter 40 verse 15] was a dinosaur. But my question is why did they all go extinct. Did God destroy them? I mean they were the largest land animal, you would think they would be able to survive." (email 9/24/01)
I believe that Dinosaurs were created on Day 6, the same day as Adam. I believe that they lived for a few thousand years, until the flood came. Noah took 2 of every kind of animal onto the ark, including dinosaurs. The harsh post-flood environment made it hard for the dinosaurs to live long after this. Some may have been hunted to extinction, and others were unable to survive as they degenerated (part of the curse God placed on the earth when Adam sinned), and lost some of their original abilities (the T-rex lost use of its arms for instance, as they shriveled and became useless).

How dinosaurs became extinct is one of the greatest questions of all time.
Those who do not believe the Biblical account of Creation have to come up with other theories.


Some have suggested that the dinosaurs were killed when a giant meteor hit the earth.





Some people believe that the dinosaurs died from diarrhea,
and others believe that they died of constipation.
(seriously.. they've spent millions of your tax dollars trying to prove this!)

Here is a picture of a dinosaur coprolite. Coprolite is fossil dung. From it we can tell what an animal ate.

Send your friends to this site: http://www.dinosaursinthebible.com/dinodeath.html



There are also people who believe that Aliens abducted the Dinosaurs. - And they think that I'm crazy to believe that the dinosaurs not on Noah's Ark died in the Great Flood.

Noah took 2 of each kind of dinosaur onto the ark with him. Read this page to see how to fit dinosaurs onto the ark
open this page in a new window


Even though 2 of every kind (not species) of dinosaur was on the ark, many drowned in the flood.

Picture used with permission of Dan L.
The greatest evidence of this is the fact that we have fossils of Dinosaurs at all. When an animal falls over dead, its body doesn't fossilize. It rots, or is eaten by other animals.
The only way for a dinosaur to fossilize is if it is completely buried in mud. The minerals in the water would then slowly replace the soft flesh, and bones. Turning the remains into a fossil. It would take a lot of mud to cover an entire dinosaur.

After the bones fossilized they were later exposed by erosion.



The layers of strata do not show an evolutionary progression. The "simple" creatures on the bottom layer did not evolve into the "complex" creatures in the top layer of rock. The reason these animals are sometimes found in this order is that animals that were already at the bottom of the sea would be the first to be buried in the mud slides etc. caused by the flood. Dinosaurs, mammals, and man would be able to flee to higher grounds (only to be buried later). And birds would be on the higher levels because they would have the best chance of staying alive in a flood.
Of course all of these layers were mixed again and again during the flood anyway. The fossil record is really a mess. The only time you really see the fossils in order is when an artist has put them in one for a textbook.
We know that many of the layers were deposited at the same time by the presence of polystrata fossils. See my page on the age of the earth.


Dinosaurs are found fossilized next to many other animals. Many of which are alive today. So whatever killed the dinosaurs, also killed many other animals, plants and humans. This catastrophe was large enough that it provided fossils on every continent.


There are many "fossil graveyards" all over the world. A fossil graveyard is a large "clump" of bones of many animals all washed into one concentrated place. I believe these formed when the floodwaters receded, leaving a tangled up mess of bones to later fossilize.
Here is a picture of a fossil graveyard
These graveyards are not evidence of dinosaurs just falling over dead. The tangled bones, and torn off limbs deposited together with plants and trees are best explained by a large catastrophe such as the Biblical flood.
There are many sites in the world where millions of fossil fragments can be found in one area. (If the bone is fossilized before it is broken, a clean break results. A break to fresh bone is more jagged. (confirm).).
In many cases these bones represent thousands of dinosaurs.
In cases where they are buried together in one area it is unlikely that an ordinary spring flood is to blame. A catastrophic inundation is the best explanation. Entire groups of living breathing animals were wiped out quickly by a catastrophic flood.
Coelophysis drowned in a flood


Here is a quote from the "Paleo World" special on the small dinosaur Coelophysis (pronounced "see-low-fye-sus") :

"Torrential rains began to fall suddenly with out warning. A flash flood tore through the stream bed, drowning everything in its wake. Swept along by the muddy waters the Coelophysis were doomed".

Sauropod dinosaurs drowned in a flood


On a National Geographic special: "Dinosaur Fever"(air date Dec 13, 1998) was a report on the fossilized remains of 2 sauropods (long necked dinosaurs). The special that featured paleontologist Paul Sereno describes the site in Africa?s Sahara Desert.

"It appears that the animals were the victims of a huge flood. Extremely powerful currents piled their multi-ton bodies in a stack, and the river sediments buried their bones."

What kind of flood could occur in what is now the Sahara Desert, that is capable of wiping out the dinosaurs?
National Geographic, which itself is a heavy promoter of Evolutionary teachings did not speculate.
It is odd that they are continually faced with such evidence of massive flood caused burials, yet they fail to see the obvious.
Or maybe they will not let themselves see it. For Africa and all the other continents were once ravished by the flood as described in the Bible. Indicating God?s right to judge His Creation. A fact many unbelievers will not accept.
How else would water cover what is now a desert so deeply as to drown a dinosaur - unless there was a flood as large as the one described in Genesis.

Were these dinosaurs trying to swim?

Here is a picture of a Sauropod dinosaur. This Dinosaur drowned, and his bones are permanently fossilized in what appears to be a swimming position.

Below is a picture of a Hadrosaur also fossilized in what may be a swimming position.

In 1878, 39 Iguanodon skeletons were found in a coal mine in Belgium. These were killed in a flood as is shown by the fish, crocodiles, and turtles buried with them.
What kind of flood can wipe out an entire herd of dinosaurs?
Only the Biblical flood in the days of Noah, the Noahic-Deluge.
Creationists agree that a flood like this would have had to be both recent and massive.

Does the Bible ever relate total devastation, and death of animals including dinosaurs, to the flood in the days of Noah? -Yes.
Psalm 74:13 speaks of the flood, and also of the sea dinosaur called Leviathan that was killed in it. Though at least some survived shortly after the flood as is evident from Gods description of it in the book of Job.
And some will remain alive up until God judges the Leviathan, as described in Isaiah 27:1. (for more info and to read this scripture, please see my page on Leviathan in my dinosaur index page)
Many of the dinosaurs died in the flood. But Noah also took two of each kind of dinosaur on the ark. So we know that many dinosaurs lived after the flood.

Why save an animal that is going to go extinct anyway?

Question:
"Why would God go to all that trouble of keeping all animals alive through the flood and then allow Dinosaurs to become extinct? If dinosaurs still exist today, then they must have adapted... and that's evolution."
Kelly F. 10/3/01
Answer:
God wanted to preserve all the animals for as long as he could that is why he gathered them to go on the Ark. Many animals and plants have gone extinct since then, not just dinosaurs. If dinosaurs are still alive they would have adapted to the post-flood climate and diet just like all the other animals did. But this is adaption - not evolution.

So what happened to the dinosaurs after they got off the ark?


I believe that many were hunted for food

Picture by Steve Cardno
Others were killed because they were a menace (How would you like a Brachiosaurus eating your garden?). And yet others died simply because the world after the flood was a harder place to live in.
Dinosaurs did not live and die before man was created. God made the dinosaurs to live peacefully with man.

Why did only dinosaurs go extinct after the flood?

Question:
"Why would just the dinosaurs have died off after the flood and not the lions, tigers, and bears etc?"
Kelly
4/6/01
Answer:
Dinosaurs are not the only animals that have died off after the flood. Many have been hunted to extinction, or degenerated to the point that they could no longer survive.
Dinosaurs are no different than every other animal that has gone extinct.
The only difference is in the stories people tell about when they died.



How dinosaurs became extinct is a mystery to many people
There are some people who think the question we should be asking is "Are dinosaurs extinct?"
An examination of claims that dinosaurs may still be alive is listed on the "Dinosaur Index" part of my page.

[Pastor Ezekiel]

Re: Whatever Happened to the Dinosaurs?

My great grandfather, Pastor Lamentations Flint, a chaplain during the war for slavery and freedom, passed this photograph down through our family. I think it proves beyond any doubt that dinosaurs still existed 150 years ago, so that monkeyman Darwin was 100% wrong.

Re: Whatever Happened to the Dinosaurs?

It is written that Dinosaurs were vegetarian.

JOB 40: 15-19
Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.


If Dinosaurs were True Christian™ Americans they would eat meat like normal people.
When God created them they were powerful and strong. They decided to be vegetarian.
No wonder they all died!

As the Godly Bobby Joe has explained, many of the dinosaurs were tempted by Satan into becoming limp-wristed queers who loved nothing better than to bugger cavemen senseless. Them being soy-gobbling vegetarians fits in with this 1000%.
