I totally can not fathom why anyone would accept a global flood myth, just on the face of it, much less care about dinosaurs. |
Who said Noah brought extinct animals onto the ark (literally speaking)?
As for the flood, no there was no *global* flood,however there's a ton of evidence for an extremely large flood in the middle east. And you'll notice it's not just Judao-Christian religions that have a flood story. Noah's flood, and the Sumerian and Babylonian flood stories may not be literally correct, but the mythological tradition of them is certainly based on truth. Something from a quick googling: http://www.flood-myth.com/otscholr.htm |
If we are going to talk flood stories, you can't forget the Epic of Gilgamesh. Also, doesn't the Elder Edda talk about the world starting as a sea? *tries to remember.*

No, why would it? In addition, Ancient Egypt which was around at the time of the supposed flood records not a blip in their history of a large flood (nor of the exodus, but I digress). |

LOL, that's why it's a symbol and not literal. Theologically speaking, it's there to express a "truth of faith," rather than a historical account of an occurance.
