Why did Noah not put any dinosaurs on the Arc and let them die out?
477625
Dinosaurs actually lived preceding bible time and their remains are a decently sized loophole of the book. Comedien Bill Hicks once referenced the topic when he offered a fictional conversation between himself and a believer in bible time. It was a one word question and read: "Dinosaurs?"\n\nBy the way, there were no Dinosaurs at the time of Noah's arc.

I believe it is about 6,000 years old, based on a plain sense reading of the Scriptures alone.  The Bible also explains dinosaurs very well. Dinosaurs are land animals. Land animals were created on Day 6, thus dinosaurs were created on the same day as Man, and Man walked with dinosaurs originally. The dinosaurs, like all the others, were vegetarian in their diet. There was no death before the fall, and all ate plants and fruits. The sin of Adam changed many things, and perhaps carnivory began after the fall. Two of each kind of dinosaur went up the Ark (the rest died in the flood waters), they left the Ark, and many went extinct like any other animal that has gone extinct. We have stories and legends of men dueling and killing monsters or dragons which are most likely based on the encounters with surviving dinosaurs. You won’t find the word “dinosaur” in our Bibles because it was a word invented in 1842, after the Bible was translated into English. Instead we have words like Behemoth and Leviathan which are descrined in detail in Job. And when dinosaur bones are being dug up, there are no tell tale labels about how old they are. In fact, scientists have found red blood cells and muscle tissue when they cut opened the T-Rex fossils. The implication of this finding is that the fossils aren’t millions of years old.

Dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago.\n\nDinosaurs were not wiped out by a meteorite or a planetary catastrophe but by a serious flatulence problem. Dinosaur wind contained a high proportion of methane gas - powerful enough to penetrate the ozone layer. \n\n"The animals, weighing from 80 to 100 tonnes, would eat on average between 130 and 260 kilos of food every day. They would fart non-stop." \n\n\nDinosaurs became extinct after more than 160 million years on earth\n \nDuring the dinosaurs' time on earth "the atmosphere became charged with methane, which finally damaged the ozone layer and brought about great changes in the vegetation." \n\nThe changes caused a food shortage which eventually wiped them out. \n\nThe ozone layer protects the atmosphere from the sun's ultra-violet rays. \n\nThere are numerous theories as to why dinosaurs died out. \n\nThe most common are: \n\n\nTheir was a Plague of Caterpillars that ate all the vegetatian\n\nDinosaur AIDS\n\nThey all developed cataracts and couldn't see where they were in order to eat\n\n\nWho Knows?

Dinosaurs were created by a Supernatural Diety (a.k.a God) and a lot of them became extinct when the Earth became flooded almost 3000 years ago.\n\nDinsoaurs are NOT extinct; there are placed in Africa, South America, the oceans and lakes where dinosaurs still exist.

Dinosaurs are never mentioned explicitly in the Bible, if at all. I have already seen you have been pointed to Job for Leviathan and Behemoth. That's the only potential mention in the Bible of dinosaurs.\n\nI see the creation story at the beginning of Genesis as a very quick overview - not a scientific textbook on how God made the world, but more of an overview to say "God made the universe, then he made man, then man screwed up and let's pick up with these people here." So, to me, the beginning stories - the creation and fall - are there as a quick introduction that sets the tone and the themes for, really, the entire rest of the Bible.

Hello sweet Kayla.. :)\n\nCould Noah's Ark really hold all the animals that were supposed to be preserved from Flood?\n \nA growing number of scientists believe that geological evidence indicates our world has undergone a catastrophic flood. This is causing them to question whether or not the biblical account of Noah's ark could be true. Many people are rereading the Biblical description of the Ark to ascertain the feasibility of such a vessel to fulfill its designated purpose in light of present day knowledge of both zoology and our present day knowledge of shipbuilding.\n \nSize comparison between average size one-story home and Noah's Ark. Illustration from The World that Perished.How big was Noah's Ark?\n\n"And God said unto Noah… Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt though make in the ark, and thou shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of… the length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. A window shalt thou make in the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side therof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it." (Gen. 6:14-16)\n \nA cubit is the distance between an adult's elbow and tip of the finger, no less than 18-inches [45.72 centimeters]. (Scene from The World that Perished.)Most Hebrew scholars believe the cubit to have been no less than 18 inches long [45.72 centimeters]. This means that the ark would have been at least 450 feet long [137.16 meters], 75 feet wide [22.86 meters] and 45 feet high [13.716000000000001 meters]. Noah's Ark was said to have been the largest sea-going vessel ever built until the late nineteenth century when giant metal ships were first constructed. Its length to width ratio of six to one provided excellent stability on the high seas. In fact, modern shipbuilders say it would have been almost impossible to turn over. In every way, it was admirably suited for riding out the tremendous storms in the year of the flood.\n\nThese dimensions are especially interesting when compared to those given in the mythical, Babylonian account of the Ark. Here the ark is described as a perfect cube, extending 120 cubits in all directions and with nine decks. Such a vessel would spin slowly round and round in the water and from the standpoint of stability, would be a disaster.\n\nWas the ark big enough to hold the number of animals required?\nThe total available floor space on the ark would have been over 100,000 square feet, which would be more floor space than in 20 standard-sized basketball courts.\n \nAssuming an 18-inch cubit [45.72 centimeters], Noah's Ark would have had a cubic volume equal to 569 modern railroad stock cars.The total cubic volume would have been 1,518,000 cubic feet [462,686.4 cubic meters] --that would be equal to the capacity of 569 modern railroad stock cars.\n\nNow comes the question, how many land dwelling air breathing animals would have had to be taken aboard the ark to survive the flood?\n\nAccording to Ernest Mayr, America's leading taxonomist, there are over 1 million species of animals in the world.\n \nGod only provided the Ark for the protection of humans and land-dwelling, air-breathing creatures. A huge number of animals would not need to be taken aboard the Ark because they are water dwellers. Representatives would be expected to survive the catastrophe. With God's protection against extinction during the Deluge, survival would have been assured. (Scene from The World that Perished, a Christian motion picture about the Flood)However, the vast majority of these are capable of surviving in water and would not need to be brought aboard the ark. Noah need make no provision for the 21,000 species of fish or the 1,700 tunicates (marine chordates like sea squirts) found throughout the seas of the world, or the 600 echinode

You ask such a trivial question. Of course there were woodpeckers on the ark. Otherwise we would not have them today or if they had died out after the flood, like dinosaurs, or any phisical evidence that they had exsisted. Your second question is the most trivial. Look at the big picture. Think of all the animals on the ark. God must have given him instrutions on where he should keep each of the thousands of animals on the ark. there are some things a person should have faith in and in the big scheme of things not worry about. God is an orderly God and controls things to the smallest detail.

A little over 200 years ago, man thought the world was flat.  Their world had "limits" for them to believe that.  At the time of Noahs flood, their world, the area they knew around them was even a smaller area.  The flood of Noah was just in the area that Noah knew and lived. I'm sure most Christians don't belive in evolution,..so WHY would one make a statement that all the races came from Noah?  Races do NOT evolve. Noah was of a TRIBE of certian people.  Noah was a decendent from Adam.  The name Adam means ruddy complected,..to see blush in the face.  Some need to reread Genesis.  On the sixth day God made both man AND woman.  He gave these peoples to fish and hunt.(the races)...Then on the seventh day God rested,...and THEN He saw He had no man to till the ground. That's when God made Adam,..for the garden.  Then God saw that Adam was alone, so God made from Adams rib a woman especially for him.  Rib means curve,...like in our Helixs curve today;..DNA. Bone of Adams bone, flesh of his flesh.\nThe flood of Noah was in the area that Noah lived,...and it was brought on because of the geber/giants, offspring of the fallen angels.God sent the flood to that area to rid it of the giants.   God shook this earth way before the flood of Noah and way before He made man flesh. Just another thought;...When Noah sent out the dove, the dove brought back an olive leaf.  IF the flood totally destroyed all the earth, then how does a olive tree grow and set forth leaves in such a short time?...  Notice too how many times seven is used?  Seven means Spiritual Perfection.

Moses didn't take animals on the ark.  It was Noah.

because there was a vapor canopy covering the earth, therefore making it possible for people to live longer because they had not as much radiation from the sun... (it was blocked by the vapor canopy). during the flood, the vapor canopy rained down on the earth, and the water cycle was started. therefore, there was no mention of stars until after the flood (first mention during Abraham's time), and humans now live shorter lives because of radiation destroying their bodies. make any sense?

First off it was a local flood. So not every specie was in that area. They could have been infants. \n\nNoah’s deluge. To understand you have to start with Gen.6:1.\nGen.6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, \nThe word “men” is Heb. (ha-adham) means “the man Adam” or his progeny. The word “them” is referring to Adam and Eve. The scripture is talking about Adam and Eve’s clan and not mankind. Mankind a subject for another time. \nGen.6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. \nThe term “sons of God” means angels or fallen angels. The word “men” again means Adam and Eve’s progeny or clan. Satan was trying to corrupt God’s plan. That is, from umbilical cord to umbilical cord would come Christ. This is why Eve is called “the mother of all living”.\nGen.6:9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. \nThe word “perfect” Heb. (tamin) means “without blemish as to breed or pedigree”.\nGen.6:17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. \nThe word “earth” Heb. (erets) means “land”, not the whole earth. Besides God says, “to destroy all flesh” in Adam’s clan.\nGen.7:24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days. \nGen.8:11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. \nIf the entire globe had been under water 150 days, where did this olive leaf (pluckt off) come from.\nGen 9:11  And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. \nRemember what God said in Gen.6:17, “to destroy all flesh”. Here God makes a covenant with Noah and his sons. Neither shall all flesh be cut off any more. Neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. Two floods. One for flesh, Noah’s deluge. One to destroy the earth back in Gen.1:2. The global flood is a subject for another time.\nSome consider the plateau of Pamir to be the original Eden. This probably was the homeland of Adam's descendants up until the time of the Flood. Today it’s known as the Tarim Basin or Eastern Turkestan. This region is surrounded by a ridge of very high mountains forming a gigantic basin in the midst of them. It measures 1,000 miles long and is about 350 miles wide.  \nUssher’s Chronology says 2348 B.C., Davidson says November 2345 B.C. to November 2344 B.C. for Noah’s deluge.\nRecords of the Sumerians in Mesopotamia., their King Lists date to about 3350 B.C., and show an ongoing civilization well through the period of the flood. Egypt felt nothing of the deluge, they had an uninterrupted succession of Dynasties. China's civilization during the Yao Dynasty (between 2400 B.C. – 2200 B.C.) with no record of a cataclysmic interruption. \nSo Noah’s deluge was a local flood. But there was a global flood in Gen.1:2. Study II Pet.3:5-7,  Jer.4:23-27.\nPsa.104:6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. Psa.104:7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. \nGen 1:6  And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

Yes, that's definitely why dinosaurs were so big -- another moon pulling on them! Why haven't all these smart scientists thought of such an obvious answer? And I'll bet that second moon crashed into the earth and killed all the dinosaurs too.

The Noah story is impossible.  It would not be possible for someone to build a boat that big, or to get two of every animal on earth, or to fit them on said boat.\n\nIf people would consider the story with their brains instead of their emotions, they would realize just how ridiculously false the story is.\n\nTo put this in simple terms for the cretins... How do you figure Noah rounded up two polar bears, two penguins, two kangaroos, two horses, etc...  Was he the first (and last) man to sail to every continent in the world collecting animals?  Amazing that no one else managed this feat until thousands of years later.\n\nEdit - also, it's an old pagan fairy tale called the Epic of Gilgamesh, anyway.  The Christians just inserted it into their bible.  This stuff is so easy to understand, people...

Old, old, OLD! Moses didn't take any animals with him, it was Noah.

I have 2 theories for you. Yes the dinosaurs died when an asteroids hit the earth.\nFirst theory: The impact or blast killed the dinosaurs. We can speculate that the dinosaurs are only living in one continent. So when the asteroid hit earth the impact and blast isntantly killed the dinosaurs. We could also say that the radius of blast was thousands of kilometers.\nSecond Theory: After impact (like in bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki), there were formation of very thick clouds that even light cannot pass through (just like in animatrix). Because light cannot pass through there were no photosysthesis. Because of no photosysthesis, there is no production of food. Especially for primary food chain, protozoans, heavily dependent on sunlight to produce food of their own.

It's very simple, they didn't believe in them, nor know about them.\n\nThe beginning of "Christianity" in the Torah, aka Old testament, was just 6,000 years old.\n\nWay after the dinosaurs were extinct.\n\nThe reason why they don't mention a lot of animals like the kangaroo, toucan and so on; is that the "Religion" was a localized one to the Middle East, around present day Israel and mentioned events that happened there.\n\nThe Great Flood was perhaps a localized event that happened due to glacial melting and the shift of the earths axis.\n\nMost things in the Torah would be full of inaccuracies.\n\nI think you shouldn't take things literally, like the 7 days story; because it's evident that there was no one around to make that "Testament".\n\nChristianity is, really, more based upon the Charisma of Christ. It's greatness lies in the fact that Christ taught us to seek the Truth and not be blinded by lies.
