I grew up in a religious household. My parents made me go to church and youth group until about 16-17 when I pushed back (still had to go to church but not youth group).
I was always more skeptical of it all. Even as a kid I remember having these “wtf, that doesn’t make sense. So dinosaurs were…on the ark?”
Anyway, after a couple decades of separation from it all you realize how absolutely bonkers religion is. The amount of mental backflips you need to make for it to make even a little sense is borderline insanity.
It’s crazy how otherwise very intelligent people just…go with it and never challenge it. Then will fight with you if you challenge it.

hoo boy isn’t it nice not having to make all those excuses anymore?
Dinosaurs would have been extinct for millions of years, even in the time of Noah. It makes sense that he wouldn’t put them on the Ark.
you’ve not had the dubious distinction of talking to a Young Earth Creationist, have you?
They think dinosaur bones are planted by satan specifically to tempt and cause doubt. They also think the earth is merely a few thousand years old.
Oh I have lol
It’s funny that evolution would help solve some ark mysteries.
Like how did Noah fit one of every animal on the ark?
Well there weren’t that many different types of animals when Noah existed and the ones he saved evolved to get all the animals we know today.
