Since the Ark had plenty of space why didn't Noah let any dinosaurs on?

Question

If dinosaurs were on the Ark, where are they now? Did God smite them for sinful behaviour like he smited the antediluvian people?

So did Noah establish a nursery for the young animals with a nanny to nurse the mammals and a robot to pre-masticate food for the non-mammals? Or did he just wave God's wand and make them all precocial and set them off on their own.

Answer 1

The dinosaurs were too busy playing with their other dinosaur friends and when the rain started, it was too late! Oh wait, I'm thinking of unicorns.

Answer 2

He did...here you go.

How many animals needed to be brought aboard?
Doctors Morris and Whitcomb in their classic book,The Genesis Flood state that no more than 35,000 individual animals needed to go on the ark. In his well documented book, Noah's Ark: A Feasibility Study, John Woodmorappe suggests that far fewer animals would have been transported upon the ark. By pointing out that the word "specie" is not equivalent to the "created kinds" of the Genesis account, Woodmorappe credibly demonstrates that as few as 2,000 animals may have been required on the ark. To pad this number for error, he continues his study by showing that the ark could easily accommodate 16,000 animals.)

But, let's be generous and add on a reasonable number to include extinct animals. Then add on some more to satisfy even the most skeptical. Let's assume 50,000 animals, far more animals than required, were on board the ark, and these need not have been the largest or even adult specimens.

Remember there are really only a few very large animals, such as the DINOSAUR or the elephant, and these could be represented by young ones. Assuming the average animal to be about the size of a sheep and using a railroad car for comparison, we note that the average double-deck stock car can accommodate 240 sheep. Thus, three trains hauling 69 cars each would have ample space to carry the 50,000 animals, filling only 37% of the ark. This would leave an additional 361 cars or enough to make 5 trains of 72 cars each to carry all of the food and baggage plus Noah's family of eight people. The Ark had plenty of space.

Answer 3

The flood that killed the Dinosaurs changed into not the only among Noah and there changed into yet another idea that they died of intestinal ailments because the ate something on sight which includes those carcasses with deadly worms. the first idea changed into the Ice Age that got here about and third changed into the concept that massive asteroids reason a huge blast that darkened the ambience after causing cataclysmic hearth for this reason melting the ice and turning it into flood. The time changed into million years earlier the Adam and Eve.

What Happened To The Dinosaurs?
Author: John Whitmore
Although the monstrous creature was obviously a vegetarian, its size was overwhelming. Its hips could withstand the enormous force of each pounding step and its midsection was a mass of muscle. Its gigantic tail extended far behind him, not unlike a giant cedar tree swaying behind his body. Its bones were like steel girders with ribs like iron bars to support his enormous weight. This is the greatest creature to roam the swamps and rivers of the earth.
This article is one of many found within Mr. Malone's excellent book, Search for the Truth.
Is this a scene from the blockbuster movie, Jurassic Park? It could be, but it isn't. This description, which perfectly fits an Apatosaurus, is a paraphrased description taken from one of the oldest books of the Bible, Job 40:15-24. If dinosaurs have been extinct for 65 million years, how could a writer of the Bible have accurately described the appearance, food, and habitat of this creature?
The vast majority of books on dinosaurs are written from an evolutionary perspective which assumes that the dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago. The leading model for the demise of the dinosaur involves a large asteroid hitting the earth. Yet the most obvious alternative explanation is almost always ignored. Almost all fossils are the remains of creatures buried by water-borne sediment which has subsequently turned to rock. If this is due to the flood of worldwide extent, as the water flowed over all the land surfaces, animals would have been drowned and been buried by massive amounts of rapidly accumulating sediment. It is not all surprising to find a general lack of burial mixing between these very different kinds of animals due to local or ecological grouping.
Genesis 7:2 states that Noah saved two of every representative "kind" of land animal on the ark. Noah would have taken young specimens, not huge, older creatures. Dinosaurs would have emerged from the ark to inhabit an entirely different world. Instead of a warm, mild climate worldwide, they would have found a harsh climate which soon settled into an ice age. If climatic hardships did not cause the dinosaur's extinction, man's tendency to destroy probably did.
In the early 1900's on the Doheny expedition into the Grand Canyon, Indian cave drawings were found which closely resembled a duck-billed dinosaur. Legends from ancient China to ancient England have recorded descriptions of dinosaur-like creatures. The Kuku Yalanji aboriginal people have paintings which look exactly like plesiosaurs. These and other intriguing evidences seem to indicate that perhaps that age of the dinosaurs ended more recently than is commonly taught. Christians do not need to feel foolish about standing on Scripture in their understanding of the world around us. There is ample evidence to support the Biblical record. Evolution serves as the foundation basis for the religions of humanism and atheism. These world views are popular because man, instead of God, decides on rules and moral standards. Creation serves as the foundational basis for Christianity which acknowledges that all things were created by God, that we live in a fallen universe, and that it will be restored to perfection in the future.

Answer 5

Before the flood, the atmosphere and climate were different. A canopy of water surrounded the earth making a tropic-like atmosphere. No harmful rays could penetrate it. The dinosaurs could live very long and grow very big. After the flood, the water canopy was gone; the atmoshere and climate was basically as it is now. Things don't live as long or grow as big. We still have dinosaurs, but now we call them alligators, crocodiles, komodo dragons, lizards, etc.

Answer 6

Of course there were dinosaurs on the ark. History is full of stories of dragons, the word dinosaur only being coined about 130 years ago. The legends of all the knights slying dragons, dragons all throughout the Far East. Then you got Lock Ness Monster. Dinosaurs were on the ark, flourished til the middle ages, and still exist in remote areas of the world today.

Answer 7

Dinosaurs were here before the flood and for a short while after the flood. You are presuming that, because they are not here now, that they were not on the ark. And, that's a good thought. Your almost right. The flood did away with the dinosaurs, but not right away.


The answer lies in the Bible's explanation for why God brought the flood. Note that before the flood, God said that man did only what was right in his own eyes continually. Meaning that all mankind had completely forgotten about their creator with regard to all their decisions all of the time.
It was easier for all mankind to decide to live this way all at once for 2 reasons: Everyone spoke the same language and everyone lived 900+ years. Most of us worry about God when we are about to die, but when you live 900 years you don't get around to it for a long time. And, what the heck, everyone else was getting away with it. That's the danger of letting the earth all think alike and influence each other.
Just before the flood, God said that He was not going to be patient with man forever. But in the meantime, He would limit the lifespan of man to 120 years. That was the purpose of the flood.
Check your bible. In the 10 generations from Adam to Noah, each man lived 900+ years. In the 10 generations after the flood, from Noah to Abraham, each lifespan got shorter and shorter. Abraham died of old age at 175. Today, you can not find a man older than 120.
The earth changed because of the flood. The bible also says, it had never rained before the flood. Prior to this a mist came up from the ground to water the earth. It also says that there were giants before the flood and a few after the flood. Everything was bigger before the atmosphere changed, not just dinosaurs. People were about 14 feet tall. We have fossil evidence of 6 foot tall beavers and dragonflies with 5 foot wingspans. But, after the flood, everything got steadily smaller and lived shorter lives. The earth could not support dinosaurs and they quickly died out. Note that whales are still around because their atmosphere underwater has not changed.
God did this, because today, we feel like life is half over at 40 and start thinking of death early on. This causes us to think about God quickly. Note that the very next story in the Bible is the tower of Babel where God split us up further by creating different languages. God did not want us to all decide against God at once by listening to each other.
Today, the Bible says man's life is like a vapor. Here and gone quickly. With many different languages and really short lifespans, it is now virtually impossibe for us all to decide on any one point of view together. Each person has a greater chance of deciding for himself to let his creator be in control of his life or to be the hero in his own story. There is no "what everybody else thinks" now. There are too many opinions to count. As you will probably see if many of your readers attack this answer.

Answer 8

the bible say that Noah put all breathing animals on the ark. Dinosaurs died of some other cause.

Answer 9

It was not up to Noah which animals were on the ark. God told him how many, but God also directed the animals to him for placement into the ark.

Answer 10

well, the dinosaurs were created somewhere between the 3rd and 5th day, and man was created on the 6th day, so dinosaurs all died near the end of the 5th day. Oh yeah, that carbon dating thing that scientists are always talking about, that isn't real.
