Watch 73 july 15 p.7 "Questions from readers - When did the Dinosuars become extinct? They may have disappeared off the face of the earth in the time of the flood of Noah's day. Even if they survived until the flood this would not require taking pairs of Mammoth varieties into the Ark. Other smaller members of a paticular family kind, may have sufficed to furfill the divine command..."
Smaller members of the Brotosuarus and T-Rex "family" were on the ark and in Eden??? Wacky science anyone!
Its called bullshitting and it is the divine plan of this organization or in their own words true spiritual food at the proper time.
A T. Rex was depicted as drowning during the Flood in a broshure released in the early '80s, an illustration that revised the one in the My Book of Bible Stories publication.
In the first three sentences of the "answer" we have:
They may have....,
Even if...,
may have sufficed...
Sounds more like speculation from someone sitting at their typewriter than a real authoritative answer!
This is what kills me about the WTS. They can never say "We don't know". They have to have an answer for everything, no matter how rediculous.
Imagine Adam and Eve thrown out of paradise to live in "Jurrasic Park!" Cain didn't kill Abel it was a T-Rex!
People who write the articles in the WT or the AW are not well educated as you can tell ..............but their righteous and thats what matters to them
A long time ago, but not as long ago as scientists say, God decided to drown everyone on earth because men and women were wicked in heart and their thoughts were continually evil and primetime TV hadn’t been invented yet to capitalize on all of it.
But Noah found favor with God because other than his drinking problem, Noah was squeaky clean. Also Noah had a large family who were all very fertile and full of love so God knew they could repopulate the whole earth in no time.
So God told Noah that even though he was going to kill all of the humans, he wanted to save the skunks, the houseflies, the sharks, the rattlesnakes, the scorpions, the spiders, etc… so Noah was to build a large Ark and march millions of species onboard from all over the earth so they will be saved from the flood.
Noah asked God, “what about the fish?” God said, “they can swim.” Noah said, “but if the flood is fresh water, all of the salt water fish will die.” “If the flood is salt water, all of the fresh water fish will die.” God said, “Shut up.”
So Noah and his sons built the ark and marched every species on earth aboard in pairs and sevens. Then God flooded the earth and Noah watched the bubbles come up as all the men, women, children, and babies sank beneath the water and drowned. Glub, glub…
Months later the ark landed in some mountains in a place where thousands of years later people keep seeing it, but no one has managed to take a decent picture of it.
The End…
It is idiots taking stupidity to new highs. Fist off all the fossils of dinosaurs do not occur in the same strata as humans. Not even close. Second you need at least 80 or more pairs to make a genetic base. If you want to argue that god can do anything, I do not argue with fake trump cards, its absurd in the extreme. Third did Noah take all the fresh water fish on board or all the salt water fish on board when all the worlds water was mixed as one? This myth is so silly you may as well debate which tooth a tooth fairy likes best, and which they will pay the most for. BTW it is the eyetooth. Joking for the comedy challenged. The society along with all religions who try to push off the bible and its stories as true, are deluded in the extreme. If anyone tries to argue with the bible as their back up you will always be on the loosing end of the debate.
Dogon - I hadn't thought about the salt/fresh water fish thing. This is a first. Great point. Perhaps the WT has an explanation about this (rolling eyes)
Other smaller members of a paticular family kind, may have sufficed to furfill the divine command..."
yea, right....how long would Noah and family have lasted against a couple of velociraptors...
