All animals were vegitarians before the flood.

Genesis 1:29-30 Then God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to every thing that moves on the earth which has life, I have given every green plant for food"; and it was so.

As for their growth rate this graph shows that dinosaurs grew in spurts

I've always had an urge to go to the creation museum as high as I can get while retaining the coordination to go out in public. If I'm ever anywhere remotely near it I'm going 100%.

In NW Kentucky near the Ohio border. If I ever end up in Cincinnati I'll go, since it says it's only 7 miles from the airport and I can't imagine I'll ever be in that part of Kentucky on purpose.

I go through Cincinnati when visiting my family in Michigan most of the time. It'd be awesome to drop by for the lulz (in theory). No way in hell I'd give them $20 though.

So he's at least part YEC imo.

I still want to know what happened to all the fish. I mean people think massive flood fish will be ok cause they can just swim. But freshwater fish cant take saltwater, saltwater fish cant take freshwater and neither can take brackish water. What happened to the fish and whales dammit. Pletho?

ah i see

fwiw i do think the flood stories might be based in some truth. I just saw an interesting show that said Mt. Vesuvius (i think) might of been the cause of them.

Yes but a local flood completely eliminates any need for the Ark.

Not according to some of the more ignorant OECs. For example, that site promoting an OEC variant of pseudoscience that NotReady often cites, led by Hugh Ross, claims that a local flood was sufficient to exterminate all of humanity except for the ark refugees:

Local Noah's Flood

That is obviously no less crackpot nonsense than the YEC version, if for no other reason than there is conclusive evidence that humans had migrated as hunter-gatherers over numerous continents by about 40K years ago, which was long before the beginning of any civilization. In fact, there was no time when all of humanity was known to have been confined only to Mesopotamia.

not to somewhat derail the thread but,

why did all the fish, seals, other general sea based creatures get a pass from dog here?

i mean wtf none of those creatures sinned or caused problems?

did noah cast an infinite net that allowed them to swim in beside the ark?

edit - also imagine the over population in the sea afterwards.

Any person who actually believes a single part of the Noah's ark story... I mean... if you think this could have happened then I don't k now how to respond.

So all in all, the bible has fictitious accounts that metaphorically explain life (or how to live it)?

Yes, sort of.

The problem with metaphors is that they can have as many different meanings as there are people interpreting them.

And as far as "how to live", again, how many interpretations of this are possible?
