Hey all you rapture righty "young Earth" creationists, why did Noah leave behind the Unicorns?

Question

And why did he leave behind all the fairies and minotaurs? To say nothing of those poor hephalumps!

I mean, if he had room for the dinosaurs....

Answer 1

He left all the Unicorns and stuff behind because he forgot and the Arc was very crowded. He did a role call but the Hyenas kept laughing and the Minah birds kept messing about.

Answer 2

Here a question for you "big bang" person. What animal did Noah not have to take on the ark that we have today?If you can believe that creation happen with a big bang then you can believe that your grandpa was a monkey. Good luck Psalms 19: 1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

Answer 3

Unicorn
the rendering of the Authorized Version of the Hebrew reem, a word which occurs seven times in the Old Testament as the name of some large wild animal. The reem of the Hebrew Bible, however, has nothing at all to do with the one-horned animal of the Greek and Roman writers, as is evident from De 33:17 where in the blessing of Joseph it is said; "his glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of a unicorn;" not, as the text of the Authorized Version renders it, "the horns of unicorns." The two horns of the ram are "the ten thousands of Ephraim and the thousands of Manasseh." This text puts a one-horned animal entirely out of the question. Considering that the reem is spoken of as a two-horned animal of great strength and ferocity, that it was evidently well known and often seen by the Jews, that it is mentioned as an animal fit for sacrificial purposes, and that it is frequently associated with bulls and oxen we think there can be no doubt that, some species of wild ox is intended. The allusion in Ps 92:10 "But thou shalt lift up, as a reeym, my horn," seems to point to the mode in which the Bovidae use their horns, lowering the head and then tossing it up. But it is impossible to determine what particular species of wild ox is signified probably some gigantic urus is intended. (It is probable that it was the gigantic Bos primigeniua, or aurochs, now extinct, but of which Caesar says, "These uri are scarcely less than elephants in size, but in their nature, color and form are bulls. Great is their strength and great their speed; they spare neither man nor beast when once; they have caught sight of them" --Bell. Gall. vi. 20.-ED.)

I think the great dinosaurs (such as the t-rex) were here perhaps millions of years before man came on the scene. The Bible supplies no proof of this, but there are ways of understanding the creation narrative that permit this view. Here's one of them:

The original creation is described in Gen. 1:1. The six days described in subsequent verses may have taken place millions or even billions of years after the original creation. In other words, God made the universe billions of years ago. He put all kinds of creatures, including dinosaurs, on this planet. The earth, at that time and for millennia to follow, was "without form and void"---i.e., not fit to serve as a habitat for mankind. So, at some point, perhaps millions of years after a comet hit the earth, destroying the dinosaurs and filling the atmosphere with debris and causing unparalleled catastrophic events such as massive tsunamis and earthquakes and flooding of huge land masses, God began clearing away the debris from the atmosphere allowing sunlight to pass through---"Let there be light." He caused further atmospheric changes---"Thus God made the firmament." He caused the submerged land to rise up out of the waters, thus forming the oceans and the great land masses---"Let the waters...be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear." And on it goes. On the sixth day, He made man in His image and after His likeness and gave him dominion over all the earth and its many creatures.

Answer 4

There were no mythical creatures, and dinosaurs were killed off with the flood instead of herded onto the ark. In clamburgoflongdad, many people's happy place, there are mythical creatures but back then there weren't that many total nutcases.

Answer 5

OKAY,
First of all Noah didn't goof up. If you believe in God then get it right. God SENT the animals to the ark. Any creatures that didn't get on the ark God didn't want there.

OR,
If you don't believe in God, it is possible that unicorns are cute little made up creatures somewhat like fairies and Santa Claus. And since they didn't exist in reality, they didn't miss the boat.

Howz dat? Did I do okay dude???

Answer 6

He left behind lots of hermaphrodite species (which are strangely alive and kicking today), plus thousands of land vegetation which couldn't have survived a "flood" such as ferns (which BTW where the staple of some dinosaurs).

Noah would have had to classify hundreds of ant species, for instance.

Some dorks even "claim" that his ark lies frozen on top of Mount Ararat.

Some people have NO BRAINS AT ALL!!!

Answer 7

Why didn't these creatures get on the ark.....

I don't think that Noah left them but maybe in their dreamlike/fairytale state thay thought they would be safe no matter what.

Ashame, I would have liked to seen them too but I don't thibk Noah is to blame.

Answer 8

1) The Bible doesn't really speak of unicorns et al
2) These animals never existed
3) Unicorns were jerks


What about dragons? If anything I would have got the dragons. I mean, hell, he got flies but left dragons? Come on?

Answer 9

I don't quite understand how he managed to fit the Dinosaurs in.
But the Lord does work in mysterious ways, and it is our duty to believe and not our duty to doubt.

Answer 10

Were there skeletal remains found in the fossil layer at a pre-flood level? I hadn't heard.
