\nDid dinosaurs once swim across what\u2019s now the Atlantic Ocean to colonize Africa? Well, according to a new study<\/a>, they must have completed this \u201conce-in-a-million year event,\u201d because, well, the dinosaur fossils are found in North America and then they show up in Morocco (North Africa), so\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0. of course they swam hundreds of miles and somehow survived! (It\u2019s just typical evolutionary storytelling!)<\/p>\n

According to evolutionary interpretations, 66 million years ago the continent of Africa was \u201ca lone island continent,\u201d like Australia is today, separated from what\u2019s now North America by hundreds of miles of open water. But evolutionists have a problem.<\/p>\n

The remains of a member of the duck-billed dinosaur family that evolved in North America were recently found in northern Africa\u2014prompting questions as to how they got there.<\/p>\n

So how did they get there? Researchers say, \u201cA herd of pony-sized duck-billed dinosaurs must have either floated or swam across.\u201d If that sounds impossible to you, you\u2019re not alone\u2014one of the researchers noted that it\u2019s \u201cextremely improbable.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s extremely improbable that dinosaurs could cross water to get to Africa,\u201d he said. \u201cBut improbable isn\u2019t the same as impossible. And given enough time, improbable things become probable.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cBuy a lottery ticket every day, and if you wait long enough, you\u2019ll win. These ocean crossings might be once-in-a-million-year events but the Cretaceous lasted nearly 100 million years.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of strange things will happen in that time,\u201d he suggested, \u201cincluding dinosaurs crossing seas.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In other words, it doesn\u2019t matter how improbable something is, because time is the evolutionary hero. Just give it enough time and, sure, it must have happened! (Keep in mind that no one observed dinosaurs swimming across the ocean. This is an interpretation based on their assumptions regarding evolution<\/a> and the ages of certain rock layers, along with assumptions regarding when and how the continents broke apart.)<\/p>\n

Man\u2019s word: With time, nothing is impossible.<\/p>\n

God<\/a>\u2019s Word: \u201cFor nothing will be impossible with God\u201d (Luke 1:37).<\/p>\n

Without eons and eons of time\u2014an incomprehensible amount of time, really\u2014none of their ideas will work.<\/p>\n

This is why evolutionists get so angry when anyone questions millions of years! Without eons and eons of time\u2014an incomprehensible amount of time, really\u2014none of their ideas will work. They must have millions and millions of years.<\/p>\n

The popular science article reporting on this new research notes that much smaller reptiles have been observed surviving long trips at sea.<\/p>\n

The researchers compared the anomaly of the crossing to the unusual journeys of some modern-day animals, such as a group of at least 15 iguanas swept off the shores of Guadeloupe in the Caribbean by a hurricane and washed up around 200 miles away on the island of Anguilla a month later in 2015, or a tortoise from the island of Aldabra that once drifted ashore in Tanzania, 700 kilometers away.<\/p>\n

We believe that, after the global flood, many animals and plants, including reptiles like tortoises, were stuck on massive floating log mats made of vegetation ripped up during the flood and that\u2019s how they were dispersed to other places. Larger animals likely colonized new places via land bridges or \u201cisland hopping.\u201d Lower ocean levels due to the post-flood ice age would make this easier than it would be today.<\/p>\n

Over the years, we\u2019ve had evolutionists make fun of this idea\u2014and yet ocean rafting has now been observed in some of the very species we suggested traveled this way, and evolutionists are forced to believe that a herd of 500-pound dinosaurs made the trek floating or swimming!<\/p>\n

Those duck-billed dinosaurs found buried in North America and North Africa were all buried during the global flood. They don\u2019t represent populations separated by millions of years on continents slowly drifting apart. They were catastrophically buried, and the single pre-flood continent broke apart into today’s seven continents where they were rapidly and violently ripped apart and moved into different configurations during the global flood just 4,350 years ago.<\/p>\n

As I\u2019ve said over and over, it\u2019s the same evidence, just two different interpretations because of very different starting points: God\u2019s Word and man\u2019s word.<\/p>\n

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
