Some would also raise the question, “How did      A‚itiona y, the Bible does not say that
       a  the huge dinosaurs fit onto the ark”?          the animals were fu y grown adults.
                                                          The largest animals were probably
                                                          represented by ‘t†nage’ or even
                                                                 younger specimens.

                                                                 Of a  the animals on the ark
                                                                  only about 15% would have
                                                                   b†n larger than a sh†p.

                            If we examine the
                           largest group, like
                            the plant eating
                           sauropods, there
                            are likely only 12
                           firmly established
                                genera.

                                                                 during the flŽd, but as the
       If you were to take a                                      fo‘il record shows, many

       weighed more than ten
       tons when fu y grown,
     and this number of genera
     is likely highly overstated.

                                                       Genesis 7:22 states the FlŽd wiped
