[QUOTE=me] Adam and Eve were cavemen? [/QUOTE] Since the serpent resembles the GEICO gecko, maybe this isn’t as bizarre as I first thought. Bringing sin to the world: so easy, a caveman can do it. > [@scotandrsn](#): > > CAn anyone find a translation of Genesis 7 that specifically mentions dragons on the ark? I can’t find one. I think it’s not so much Bible quoting as it is that “if/then” logic (there’s a name for it, but I forget what it is. I believe Dave Barry gave as an example “Marlon Brando is a great actor. Marlon Brando is fat. Therefore, all great actors are fat.”) Dragons are animals. God asked Noah to bring every animal onto the ark\*. Therefore, dragons were on Noah’s ark. \*Not two, as commonly believed- just two of the ones that couldn’t be eaten. The ones that could got a couple more pairs. ---

[QUOTE=Una Persson] Dear Goddess, just how many plates did that artist think he had to put on the back of the stegosaurus? (Panel 14, not the later one) I should declare a jihad against Jack Chick for taking the image of my beloved stegosaurus in vain. [/QUOTE] Never fear; it’s clearly a [Tuojiangosaurus.](http://www.rainbowdolphin.com/dinosaurs/images/gal_Tuojiangosaurus.jpg) ---

Why doesn’t he just say that Noah brought two dinosaurs onto the ark? I know, I know, I 'm asking a Chick Tract to make sense. As though the rest of it was the pinnacle of logic. Maybe because [dragons are mentioned extensively in Revelations](http://www.fairrosa.info/dragon/bible.html), and Chick is a big Armageddon freak? Does that mean the End Times are near when dinosaurs again walk the earth? You know, those 7-headed, ten-horned dinosaurs, the hepta-cephalo-deca-ceratops? Oh, and it’s also clear from the nonchalant way that Dad mentions they might be eating the last dinosaur shows that Chick isn’t much for conservaton. ---

[QUOTE=Freddy the Pig] The hunter promises the kid dino-burgers, but then in panel 10 they’re eating dino-kebab. Why the menu change??? [/QUOTE] They thought that they were quite likely eating the very last one, or at least one of a very few left, so they decided to stretch it out as much as they could? * * * TBJ ---

[QUOTE=Biffy the Elephant Shrew] Forget Dino-Satan. What blows me away is that the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil was a friggin’ _yam_! …or was Adam just playing the ocarina? [/QUOTE] Wow, Adam ate the calzone of the knowledge of good and evil. ---

Can someone remind me again why Jack Chick and his Tracts of Doom are in any way relevant, beyond providing nice fodder for SDMB-style bashings? Does he actually have a sizable (serious) readership? ---

Does he actually have a sizable (serious) readership? [/QUOTE] When I was at my first job (Arby’s, age 15), my fundie boss gave me Chick Tracts _all the damned time_, especially after he learned I was Mormon. I didn’t even know what they were called until years later, but the “HAW HAW HAW!” was a running joke between me and my friends. ---

[QUOTE=kaylasdad99] Too bad nobody would invent _Dinosaur Helper_[sup]TM[/sup] for another four [del]hundred[/del] thousand years. [/QUOTE] Yeah, that would have probably worked. Or, failing that, they could have just stopped being such [pigasauruses](http://www.vivarockvegas.com/html/scenes_creature.html) about it… * * * Oh, and LonesomePolecat, if you have more to say about the tract, after your “scooped” thread was closed upon your request, you know that you’re more than welcome to post here. * * * True Blue Jack ---

As Eddie Izzard teaches us, animals without long ears (I’m assuming that includes dinosaurs.) had to ride inside the ark instead of along the sides. How big was it again? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dinosaurs-more-like-there-goes-jtc-again/418152.md?page=3)
