Not every character's origins and rules applied are specifically taught during the learning process. Also IIRC I began learning decent "Liu Shu" (6 Principles of characters) when I was in junior high school, quite far from elementary school where my basic vocabulary was established.

Easy ones like the "boat" character can be refuted by other characters such as "along"沿 or the metal "lead" 鉛. But there are characters that can't be easily understood by the 6 principles due to the fact that they were categorized on the older style. This is where shit like "righteous = Jesus baptises you with his blood" comes in.

Hang on a minute. If the dinosaurs arch their necks to breath above the flood and died, why didn't they become "unarched" at the moment of death given that rigor mortis takes a few hours to set in. But I guess attention to things like science isn't their strongest suit.

Actually, most extant species of dinosaur can fly, and I'm willing to bet most of the Mesozoic varieties could swim. :P

But yeah, pterosaurs and euryapsids are NOT dinosaurs.

How do the Young Earth Creationists feel about this? Don't they think Dinosaurs are a hoax?

No, they think they were docile novelties who could only exist because of the unique pre-Flood conditions and went extinct in short order after debarking from the Ark. Yes, that's right. People lived along side the dinosaurs, just like in the Flintstones. And two adult ultrasaurs were crammed on a boat smaller than they were. :roll:

Ghetto Edit: When the Fundies cannot deny that dinosaurs exist anymore, they twist it all around to fit their own agenda. Fundie Propaganda, but at least it had some comedy value.

I still prefer Chicky's cartoon. The picture of the mother's arms holding an infant above rising flood waters as the ark sails off. No better picture exists for showing the truth behind God's 'love'.

Here. A couple of slides down is where you see an about-to-be-drowned baby.

Interesting. I wonder where Chick got hold of those long lost documents. Probably somewhere the sun never shines :roll:

Don't forget slash-fics involving Jesus and his disciples when they were on that boat.

What had the baby done to deserve the wrath of a murderous God? [off-topic]What an annoying site. I looked at some of the articles and one of the article that deals with witnessing suggested that people should drop tracts into the the candy bags at Halloween as "in one night you can give the gospel to hundreds of kids" and another article suggested to give tracts as tip to waitresses. Oh brother.[/off-topic]

Haha, I love that, it says the ark was covered inside and out with pitch, and YECs presumably accept pitch, like coal and fossils, was laid down with the world wide flood! :lol:
