Duh! Obiously the explotion was severe enough to scatter the bones and the dino ark all over the world.
And since it was the will of the sky doggie the bones spread to make it look like they died on the spot.
So trying to find the dino ark is pure folly and defies the will of dog.

I am quite certain that doubters and scoffers will mock the heavy artillery on Noah’s ark as inconsistent with the technology of the era. They forget that Noah’s Flood is a great miracle. In the midst of such a great miracle, what is to stop God from equipping Noah with weaponry otherwise not seen before the 20th century? Nothing!
That’s pretty rock-solid argumentation, I tell you.

Tsk, tsk. Sauria is an outdated name for the lizards-except-snakes. That doesn’t include the dinosaurs, even though Owen seems to have thought so in 1842.

Wonder why there’s dynamite in the water too. In case they miss? Not to mention the piece-of-cake-with-horns under Noah’s ark.

Doesn’t the shot look long? With that arc, and how close the two ships appear, the shell should miss.

I’m a little worried (concerned troll is concerned) about the implications of the mammalian ship being armed with what appears (to my admittedly untrained eye) to be a Flugzeugabwehr-Kanone Acht-komma-acht Zentimeter.
Was the Krupp Company contracted for ark armaments?

David @#10,
Except, of course, some authors (e.g., Gauthier) use Sauria for Archosauria + Lepidosauria, so it is still a legitimate term and would contain Dinosauria.

Initially I was looking for the reptiles space ships and high powered energy beam weapons but realized I was thinking of the Silurians who would have taken care of that fool Yahweh and the boat.

@Shadow #13: The dino-ark is farther away than it looks…it’s all a trick of perspective, based on your brain assuming that the ships are about the same size, when, given the size of dinosaurs, theirs would have to be much bigger. Hence the rather flat arc.
sudomabinusrisays
What are those dumb birds doing on our ark?
Well obviously, the birds saw which way the wind was blowing, and moved. I mean, they got wings and all, and Noah doesn’t appear to have had to foresight to include anti-aircraft guns on the Ark.

Sure blows Ken Ham’s ‘theory’ of Dinos living with man (after the flood) out of the water.

Exactly! A German 88mm gun on the mammal ark? Using a Nazi gun to shoot at reptiles? Surely the political overtones are…disquieting… But then— David Irving and David Icke…all the same, right?

#14: Come on, you can never go wrong with an 88! How could the good ol’ nazi ever be wrong?
But the projectiles profile looks a bit dodgy. Guess it could be a YahwehTech® CJI-5000 GENOCIDE round retrofitted to the 88’s barrel with a sabot. Yeah, I’m a sucker for divine weaponry.

If you turn it onto Sci-Fi (I refuse to use their new name.) right now, you can watch the lizards get their revenge. V is on. I was just talking to my sister about it. We are both suppressing the memory of rampant big hair.

Bah! Not enough orgies on the dino-ark. I mean it should be obvious that those heathens clearly provoked Noah, nay, GOD HIMSELF.
And lo, the howitzer of the lord shone upon them…
Desert Son, OMsays
Of course, upon further reflection, it is incontrovertible fact that mammals, after all, did develop the 88.
Maybe that’s even more reason to be concerned.

#11/#22 – notice the “4” above “Dan”, the cartoonists name. He put four easter eggs in this comic. Sometimes they are a bit more hidden. Slice of pie, K2 (K squared – his children), Dynamite (first appeared after 9-11-01) and the fish tail.
Other notable eggs: Rabbit, upside down bird, eyeball, alien, shoe, arrow.
Wikipedia article on it explains a bit more and has a great 7 symbol comic.

Wait a minute, though, that’s natural selection.
No doubt that’s the reason why it was covered up for so long.
