Does the bible give any indication of why the dinosaurs weren't taken onto the ark?

Answer 1

It said something like "Lo, and Noah had shoveled horsebarns for 3 and twenty days, and kneweth that the dinosaurs piles would be 40 cubits long and 60 cubits high, and he decided that it was not good. And as the flood waters came, Noah, with rod and whip, cursed the dinosaurs and drove their massive colons from his ark."

Answer 2

I believe that dinosaurs WERE taken on the ark. Noah was to bring a male and a female of every "kind" of animal (NOT species) onto the ark. There are about 28 different "kinds" of dinosaur, and he would have brought babies or juveniles, not full-grown adults. Babies weigh less, eat less, sleep more, and are hardier.
After the Flood, most of these dinosaurs died off from the change in climate due to the ensuing Ice Age. Some survived, and gave rise to dragon legends all around the world. The Bible mentions dragons 35 times; mostly as a reference to Satan, but sometimes referring to the actual animal. The Book of Job describes an animal that is the biggest one ever created; it has a long neck and a long tail; it has a powerful belly and legs of iron. Some people think that this is an elephant or a hippo, but come on, do either of these animals have a "tail like a cedar tree"? I don't think so.
There is another animal mentioned in Job called Leviathan, an animal that is extremely ferocious, is impossible to kill or capture by human means, and strikes terror into everyone and everything. Sounds a lot like a T-Rex to me.
There is also an account of Daniel killing a dinosaur that the Babylonians were worshipping.
There are many accounts today of modern sightings of dinosaurs, like the Plesiosaur that washed up on a beach in Monterey Bay in 1925 (they even took a picture of it!); the Loch Ness Monster (as well as many other "Nessies" in deep lakes around the world); pterodactyls in Malaysia; Mokele-Mbembe (a diplodocus) in the Likouala Swamp in Africa; and a report of some cowboys shooting a Quetzalcoatl in Arizona in the late 1800's. The atheists classify these reports as "cryptozoology" and don't often believe it, because of their preconceived idea that dinosaurs died out millions of years ago. These facts don't fit their paradigm, so they don't believe it. But if the world is only about 6,000 years old, then it is entirely plausible for there to be dinosaur survivors.

Answer 3

A) Dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago. At most humans have existed as humans for only about 4 and 1/2 million years.

B) The Noah's Ark story is NOT intended as a historical event, but as another example of the power of the Hebrew God. There weren't no such of an event in geologic reality, period!

C) Your question is, hopefully, based on your lack of information about both the Book and the Earth's actual geologic history, rather than a tacky, smart crack aimed at the poor fundies.

Answer 4

Because the people who wrote the Bible didn't know that dinosaurs existed. Just like they thought the Earth was flat. And had a dome over it. And that there are evil snakes that talk.

Answer 5

They were. Noah took baby diosaurs with him. The dinosaurs are mentioned in the Book of Job.

Answer 6

LOL.
Because it's a myth. There is no credible evidence for a worldwide flood. None.
In fact, there isn't enough water (wether free flowing or frozen) to cover the surface of the earth.

Answer 7

They were. It doesn't say they weren't. I imagine after a world wide flood, the earth was a much different place that wasn't hospitable to dino life.

Answer 8

The answer is pretty simple, Dr. Smarty Pants.

Answer 9

They were long gone dead by millions of years.

Answer 10

I'm pretty sure they were already extinct.
