if noah built a wooden ark and put two of every animal on it, how did he fit elephants and dinosaurs on it??

Answer 1

Dinosaurs died out 60 million years ago, he did not have to put them on. Of course, the whole story is a myth, taken from several much older mythological stories of other peoples about a great flood. Similarities are so great, there can be little doubt the story in the bible was lifted almost verbatim from the older tales.

Answer 2

There weren't any dinosaurs, silly.
And elephants are transported to zoos all the time on boats. Anyway, here's a real kicker for you, since you obviously have no Bible knowledge:
Noah did not put two of every animal on the ark.
He put two of every unclean animal and seven of every clean animal onto the Ark. He also did not only put his own family on it. He put two of each flesh aboard the Ark; that means He put two of every race of people.
So now your feeble little brain has a real problem; gee, Noah put even more stuff on the Ark than I realized. Wow.....I quess he fit those extra ones where you thought the dinosaurs were gonna go.

PS; The flood came upon the world of the ungodly - not necessarily the entire world itself.
Perhaps you don't know the real reason the flood occurred in the first place?

Answer 3

We do not know which animals were on the ark.
We just have their descendants to enrich our lives.
But if Noah took animals that had not yet reached sexually maturity when they were loaded onto the ark, then he could have been able to take a much large representation of life with him.
When the animals disembarked after being on the Ark for 5 to 6 months, and having reached maturity, they would have had Jehovah's blessings and we have a wonderful variety of life to enjoy.

Answer 4

Read in Genesis the dimensions of the ark. If you get a have a good study Bible, it might even give a conversion of cubits to feet. A boat that took four men 100 years to build would be quite large. Also, there were not two of every animal. There were seven of all the animals used in sacrifice, including doves, goats, cattle, etc. They did all board the ark in pairs though. It's amazing what a man can do that follows God's directives.

Answer 5

This is old hat friend. One only needs to look at the scientific research done to see that it would not only have been incredibly seaworthy, it was also big enough for 2 of every species. The one thing you might note is species, not every sub species. Two dogs, not two poodles, two beagles, two boxers etc..etc.. Swedish researchers did all the tests years ago

Answer 6

Dinosaurs did not exist, and the elephants might have been small, immature ones. Another possibility is the the great flood did not cover the entire earth, just the "whole" world known at the time.

Answer 7

In Noahs time there were only a certain amount of animals!

Answer 8

Its pure mythology, anything is possible gods, goddesses, centaurs, sirens, gorgons, demi-gods, cyclops, the Medusa, resurrections, petrification, transformations, composite creatures

Answer 9

dinosaurs came to late for boarding and only two elephants were aloud.

Answer 10

They had to be young using small dimensions for the ark.
It was like a battleship though.
