God had Noah build a ship that could hold every kind of animal in the world. God put dragons and other animals in the ark... because the mother of storms was about to hit. The storm hit, the earth went into convulsions, the underground water shattered the earth's surface, the canopy of water above the earth collapsed. Plants, animals and people were drowned and sandwiched with the dinosaurs into layers of mud and rock, except those dinosaurs that were in the ark were "fruitful and multiplied" like other animals. But now the dinosaurs had a BIG problem, THE AIR HAD CHANGED! Remember those trillions of destroyed plants? They made the air rich with oxygen. And big animals need LOTS of oxygen to survive. In the thinner air it was harder to breathe--they got slower and easier to catch. Now you know how the dinosaurs REALLY died.

Creative, I guess... Must have been a pretty big boat though ^^
I prefer Gary Larson's explanation as to how the dinosaurs went extinct. Based on just as much fact, and a lot funnier.
Hooooly god. That was pretty much the dumbest thing I've ever read.
OK, fair enough that you believe in God, but dragons ?! And... and... I...
:faints:
Wouldn't the dinosaurs suffocating due to needing lots of oxygen leave every other air-breathing species in a similar position, as the massive numbers of dinosaurs desperately try to intake all the air that they can? And, if the plants all died....how the hell do we have plants today!?
I've heard this tale before, but it was a lot simpler. It just involved rain for 40 days and 40 nights. Of course, that wouldn't flood the Earth, but I'm getting pedantic here. You either have a very active imagination that could better be used writing paperback fiction or you're a lying asshole. God doesn't like lying assholes.
I like how, when they were 'sandwiched', the dinosaurs and other organisms got so neatly arranged, with the more primitive ones at the bottom and the less primitive ones at the top.
*I know primitive isn't the right word, but it's close enough; couldn't think of the right word.
(a) None of this is in the Bible. It's invented out of thin air. How can Jack Chick claim the Catholic Church doesn't follow scripture and he does?
(b) The Bible only says the ark contained everything the contained the breath of life. Therefore, the oceanic plankton, which is the major source of oxygen, wasn't on the ark. So the flood couldn't have destroyed the oceanic plankton.
(c) Llamas have a special hemoglobin to deal with the thin air of the Andes, which creationists claim didn't exist until after the flood. If they could evolve the hemoglobin via "micro-evolution", why couldn't the dinosaurs?
(d) if people were sandwiched with the dinosaurs into layers of mud and rock, why do we never find modern mammals mixed in with dinosaur fossils?
(e) Mammals and birds need way more oxygen than reptiles. That's why mammals evolved a palate that allows them to continue to breath while they chew and birds have a crop that allows them to swallow without chewing, while reptiles have to hold their breath while they chew. Why did reptiles die and mammals survive?
(f) Why did God create the canopy of water, which no longer exists? Did He create it because He knew He was going to need it later to destroy the earth with? How does this mesh with the concept of free will?
Plants, animals and people were drowned and sandwiched with the dinosaurs into layers of mud and rock...
Even the most casual glance at geological evidence proves this to be an ignorant lie. Nowhere on this planet have dinosaur fossils been found in the same layers as Humanoid fossils. In fact dinosaur fossils are separated from Humanoid fossils by millions upon millions of years worth of geological layers.
FAIL!!

I think someone has been watching too many science fiction B movies. At this point everyone knows that an asteroid struck the Earth at high speed somewhere near (if I remember correctly) the Yucatan. This collision threw tons upon tons of debris into the atmosphere much like the models of nuclear winter. This blanket of dust and debris in the atmosphere blocked a large portion of the sunlight that exomorphs (that's a fancy word for "cold-blooded creatures") require to regulate their body temperature.
Without a way to warm themselves dinosaurs died out practically overnight (in terms of geological time). This gave the small mammals (endomorphs) present at the time an opportunity to flourish when they were no longer being preyed upon by exomorphic meat eaters.
This isn't guessing or wishful thinking, Jack. We've located the impact crater. We can see the domino-esque extinction of species as the "nuclear winter" settled in for next few thousand years or so. I shudder to think that you would ever have the responsibility of educating a child about science. My 8 year old son knows this stuff, Jack. What's wrong with you that you don't know it?
I think this was one of my favorite Chick tracts, simply because it's so freaking INSANE.
I mean, you could, if you kind of squinted one eye and didn't look out the other, see where he came from with some of his earlier tracts.
But lately, they seem to just be getting less and less coherent...
Oh, by Neptune's scaly tail! What the hell are you doing trying to rationalize a fairy tale with another one (your so called "science", that is)?
Yeah, but before the dinosaurs all died, the took great care to dig themselves large holes first.
I mean, they must have, to explain the geologic column
Must have been terrible on the ark when one of the really big dinos farted.
BTW, did Noah have a fork lift truck equipped with a bulldozer blade? He would have needed one to shift all the vegetation required to feed that pair of brachiosaurs - and then shift all the brachiopoop, several tonnes a day.
@ sanity et al:
In the name of Dawkins, please spell- and grammar-check your comments before posting. You're letting the side down.
Being careless with your English makes you seem home-schooled.
I don't mean to be snotty, but it makes my blood boil. Let's not emulate the iggorent fundies.

So Jack, what your really saying is your god cocked it up so bad he had to start again. But being all knowing and powerful he didn't just fix what he disliked. But to take the most convoluted route to have one knuckle head build a boat, stock it with supplies, find all the animals. Then flood and kill all the rest of the animals.
This ones for you jack, fail!
Some were eaten by other dinosaurs, some died of disease, some died of accidents or old age, the last generations seemed to have died suddenly, no more evidence of any living dinosaurs above (after) the worldwide K-T boundary, 65 MYa.
Here's someone else talking about that mythical zoo ship again...don't they ever quit?
What the hell kinda name is Chick anyway? Is it one of those pinko Russky names, changed to look like something Amerkin?
“the underground water shattered the earth's surface,”
"Plants, animals and people were drowned”
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
