Ken Ham- Dinosaurs, Genesis & the Gospel by Rebekah Walton

This is a summary, not a review of what Ken Ham in his speech called:Dinosaurs, Genesis & the Gospel at the Chec conference. He usually does this speech for kids, although this one was slightly edited from his kids speech, less audience interaction.


There are seven ages of dinosaurs and they are:
Formed
Fearless
Fallen
Flood
Faded
Found -AD 1800 to present
Fiction  -now

The history of dinosaurs
Dinosaurs were created on Day 6- because the large land animals were created on Day 6. The term Dinosaur only refers to the land animals, flying and water ones are not dinosaurs. So, there are no such thing as flying dinosaurs or water dinosaurs. Dinosaurs lived with Adam and Eve. We were created on Day 6 but we were created differently then animals. The average size a dinosaur was the size of a sheep. Elephants are bigger than the T-Rex was. If someone says the dinosaurs were formed billions of years ago or the big bang happened billions of years ago and that is how the earth came about, ask them this question: Where you there? (very politely and in a kind way, of course.)

 Bible Verses that mention these dinosaurs and the flying kind and water types: Isaiah 30:6, Job 40: 1, 19, 20, 21, and Job 40: 15-19.

People  and animals use to be Vegetarians according to Genesis 1: 29-30. But in Genesis 9:3- God gives us all things to eat. Which means we can eat a hotdog because a hotdog is all things.


 If an animal has sharp teeth that does not mean the animal eats meat it just means they have sharp teeth. There are many examples of this including Panda Bears, Fruit Bats and Gorillas. They all have sharp teeth but they do not eat meat.


Noah's Ark was a real boat that Noah built. The ark had more than enough room for all the animals and was not like a giant bathtub. Noah did not have to get all the varities of animals on the ark, he just had to get all the families of animals on the ark because all the varities come from particular family animal groups. There is one family of dogs. There are only about a thousand kinds of animals, only a thousand family groups. So, Noah had to only take about 2 to 3 thousand animals on the ark. There are 50 kinds of dinosaurs, or families of dinosaurs.


Noah's ark is also a picture of Jesus. Jesus is the doorway and God closed the door to the ark.

Also since there was a world wide flood you would expect to see: Billions of dead things buried in rock layers laid down by water all over the earth.

Now to the answer you were all waiting for. What happened to the dinosaurs? They died.

Could the dinosaurs not be extinct we just haven't found them yet? It is possible the plants Wollemi Pines which everyone thought was extinct and was found in fossils with dinosaurs was found not to be extinct.


Here is the basic summary of his speech.
