Were there Dinosaurs on the Ark?

Okay.  Brace yourself.

Yes. I believe there were dinosaurs on the ark. And I’m not alone. Back in the

1700’s Matthew Henry said, “Notice the beasts going in each after his kind . . . to intimate just as many as were created at first were saved now, and no more” (see Gen. 1:21-25).  

  Google Ken Ham’s Answers in Genesis Series: Dinosaurs in the Bible on the Internet. It’s free and convincing. He says there were only about fifty general types of dinosaurs that would have been on the ark. The average size: sheep-sized. Some were no bigger than chickens so there was plenty of room for all on the ark.

  However, he believes there are numerous references to large dinosaurs in God’s Word that indicate they lived after the Flood. The Bible refers to them as “dragons” or “leviathan” since the word “dinosaur” wasn’t coined until the 1800’s. If the concept of huge dinosaurs on the ark startles you, check out the references to them for yourself by looking up these scriptures:

• Job 41:1
• Psalm 74:14
• Psalm 104:26

If you still can’t picture them on the ark, think of them walking onto the ark as

youngsters.

So where are they now? What killed off the dinosaurs? Ham believes they died off just as numerous creatures of the past have disappeared and like the animals mysteriously facing extinction today may do.

The fossils we find were formed during the Flood.
