waters
destroyed
the
evidence
of
pre-Flood
humans.

Where
did
dinosaurs
come
from?
Were
they
preserved
in
Noah's
ark?
We
do
not
know,
but
the
following
seems
likely.
The
main
kinds
of
dinosaurs
were
probably
created
by
God
and
thus
would
have
been
preserved
in
the
ark,
along
with
the
other
major
kinds
of
animals.
They
perished,
along
with
a
number
of
other
ani-
mals,
soon
after
the
Flood,
perhaps
as
the
result
of
dramatic
changes
in
climate
and/or
habitat.
Most
dinosaurs
were
small,
the
size
of
a
turkey
or
deer,
and
we
do
not
know
much
about
them.
The
huge
ones
may
not
have
been
created
by
God
but
rather
the
re-
sult
of
manipulation,
similar
to
the
way
modern
humans
have
bred
different
breeds
of
dog.
Such
monsters
as
the
Tyrannosaurus
would
not
have
been
preserved
in
the
ark
and
probably
perished
in
the
great
Genesis
flood.
10.
How
old
Is
the
Earth?
We
are
not
sure.
The
Bible
indicates
that
God
prepared
the
Earth
and
created
life
a
few
thousand
years
ago
in
six
days."
There
are
also
some
suggestions
in
the
Bible!
that
the
Earth
may
have
been
a
dark,
empty,
water-covered
sphere
before
Creation
week,
but
the
texts
only
imply
this.
Life
has
been
here
on
Earth
for
only
a
few
thousand
years.
Some
scientific
data
are
more
easily
ex-
plained
if
we
assume
that
there
was
an
empty
Earth
here
long
before
Creation
week
began.
11.
What
does
the
flood
described
in
the
Bible
have
to
do
with
Creation?
Many
of
the
rock
layers
on
the
surface
of
the
Earth
contain
some
fossils.
Evolutionists
say
that
these
represent
plants
and
animals
buried
over
billions
of
years
as
they
evolved.
But,
as
described
above,
there
are
many
problems
with
these
theories.
On
the
other
hand,
the
Bible
indicates
that
God
created
the
various
life
forms
in
six
days
a
few
thousand
years
ago.
So
where
did
the
fossils
come
from?
The
great
world-
wide
flood
best
explains
the
formation
of
fossil
layers.
Most
of
the
fossils
we
find
are
organisms
that
lived
before
the
Flood
and
were
rapidly
and
sequentially
buried
during
that
horrendous
event.
If
millions
of
years
elapsed
between
layers
that
contain
differ-
Picture
Removed
ent
kinds
of
fossils,
as
evolutionists
claim,
there
is
no
way
that
God
created
all
kinds
in
six
days.
A
small,
local
flood
in
Meso-
potamia,
as
suggested
by
some,
would
not
help.
The
deluge
would
have
to
be
sudden
and
worldwide,
as
described
in
the
Bible,
to
explain
the
fossil
layers
on
all
the
conti-
nents.
12.
What
is
the
evidence
for
a
world-
wide
flood?
The
Bible
is
specific
about
the
Flood
having
been
a
worldwide
event.'>
However,
there
is
abundant
evidence
elsewhere,
as
well:
¢
In
folk
stories
about
the
past,
the
idea
of
a
worldwide
flood
appears
as
a
dominant
theme
all
around
the
globe—six
times
as
common
as
causes
for
any
other
gigantic
calamities."
This
idea
would
probably
not
be
so
dominant
if
it
were
not
based
on
a
real
event.

find
many
fossils
of

isms
on

to

them.

be
