| |
| | | | |
| − | Were polar species such as [[Polar Bear]]s and [[Penguin]]s to be found on the ark? I'm guessing they would not be friendly with their cell-mates for 40 days: Feeding regiments must have been tricky, but above all the middle-eastern climate must have been damaging to their well-being.

| − | :: I included a comment about dinosaurs, which conceivably could have had difficulty coexisting on the Ark with other animals, as another controversial issue about the Ark. However, I'm not sure why it was removed. [[User:Fairandbalanced|Fairandbalanced]] 22:17, 21 March 2007 (EDT)
| |
| − | ::: Not being the one who removed it, I couldn't say for sure, but it was a fairly vague criticism (what "difficulty"?), and not worthy of an encyclopedia article as it stood. However, I don't think locking the article was justified; apart from your (presumably well-intentioned) edit there was only ''one'' attempt at vandalism. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J.

| − | :::: Thanks. It seems like a fair amount of content on Conservapedia is locked from editing. In addition, it may be worth pointing out that as one possibility, the reason why dinosaurs are extinct is because they were not allowed on the Ark.

| − | ::::: I was premature in the above comment, as according to this: http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/Area/AnswersBook/dinosaurs19.asp, dinosaurs were definitely on the ark. [[User:Fairandbalanced|Fairandbalanced]] 14:03, 22 March 2007 (EDT)

| − | '''Fairandbalanced''': Yes, the Bible says that two (or more) of ''every'' kind of land-dwelling, air-breathing creature were on the ark. This leaves two possibilities: (a) Dinosaurs were on the ark, or (b) dinosaurs were extinct before the flood. However, the second option is ruled out because there are fossils of them in flood-laid deposits, indicating that they were around at the time of the flood.

| |
| − | '''Hojimachong''', I'm not sure what you are getting at there. What is hotly debated? That dinosaurs were on the ark? Although there is a debate over whether the ark existed (as described in Genesis at least), I'm not aware of any real debate on, if the story is true, whether dinosaurs were on it.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''DunsScotus''': No informed creationist claims that dinosaurs were designed by Satan to trap or confuse believers.
