“Tosuppose that theeye…could have been formedby natural selection, seems, Ifreely confess, absurd in thehighest degree.”—Charles DarwinThe Origin of Species byMeans of Natural Selection orThe Preservation of FavoredRaces in the Struggle for LifeCharles Darwin 1859 p. 217All in whose nostrils was thebreath of life, of all that wasin the dry land,—Genesis 7:22And of every living thing of allflesh, two of every sort shaltthou bring into the ark, tokeep them alive with thee;they shall be male and female.—Genesis 6:197:14-15, 22). Idonot believethatallthevarieties of insectswereon the Arkbecausethey breathe throughtheir skin anddonot havenostrils. They could havesurvived on floatingmatter or by burrowingin themud. Some of the insects mayhave been on theArkin thefur of theanimals orin nooks andcrannies oftheark; theBible does not teachthatthey hadtobeon board.24. Q:A:How did animals travel from allovertheworld togettotheArk?This question assumes that theworldbefore theflood waslikethe world is today withanimals specialized for certainareas. Todaytheworld is 70% water and theoceans separatethecontinents. Also, some animals only livein afewselectedlocations. TheBibleteaches thatbeforetheflood thewaterwas gathered into oneplace(Genesis 1:9). There was probablyoneocean andmuchmorelandmass. Also, if theclimatewasmoretemperate animals couldlive in alltypes ofplaces whichmeans Noah did not have togogather animals from allovertheworld. In fact, the Biblesays that the animals cametoNoah(Genesis 6:20).25. Q:A:What aboutdinosaurs? Did they livewithAdam andEve? Did Noah takethem on theark?Thedinosaur question is dealtwith for over 2hours on myvideotape #3ofthecreation seminar series. Tosummarizebriefly: Dinosaurs weremade the sixthday withtherest oftheanimals. Noahtook them on theark(probably youngones). They have always lived withman. After the flood manydied from theclimatechanges and from man’s hunting. Theywerecalled dragons for many centuries. (Theword dinosaurwas justinvented in 1841.) Afew smalldinosaurs may still bealivetoday in remoteparts ofthe world. Therehavebeen over20,000 reported sightings of dinosaur likecreatures in thiscentury. Afew pictures and stories are on my web site.26. Q:A:It would take4.4 billion cubic kilometers of water tocover Mt. Everest. Wheredid thewater comefrom tofloodtheearth?This question assumes that thepre-flood world was liketheworldis today. Itwouldonly take oneinchofwater tocoverMt. Everest if theearth weresmooth. TheBiblestates clearlythatthe water was 15 cubits over thetallestmountain.Seashell fossils havebeen foundon topof mountain ranges allovertheworld. The top of Mt. Everestis covered withsedimentaryrockcontainingpetrified,closed clams. Since clamsopen as soon as theydie, they had tohavebeen buried alivetobepetrified in theclosed position. Therewas definitely aworldwideflood. TheBible says in Psalm 104 thatas the floodended themountains lifted up andthevalleys sankdown andDr. Kent Hovind • office (850) 479-DINO (3466) •Fax 479-8562 76
