Are you asking if Satan attempted to disrupt God's creation by genetically engineering (or by some other method) new, horrific animals -- so that is why they had to be destroyed?
I believe that this is quite possible. There seems to be little doubt that man's line was mixed with the line of the fallen angels, and the chances are great that their DNA is not compatable and more than likely they do not even have genes. So, they might have done any number of things to acheive the results that they desired. God wanted to destroy both man and beast, so there was more than likely an extremely good reason for it.
One reason why we are told that Noah was spared was that he was not in the line of the fallen angels. This could mean that his family was the only unpolluted family left. We are specifically told the "all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth." "Its way" could, and probably does, refer to "its natural course of life". We are also specifically told that the entire earth was corrupted and filled with violence. This could mean that all those that were destroyed were specifically spoiled, damaged in some permanent manner, quite probably genetically.
Not all animals were required to be brought upon the ark, only those respresenting their kind. This may have excluded some or all of the dinosaurs, especially if they were what is know scientifically (in genetics) as "chimeras".
As far as the virgin birth being cloning, in a sense it could have been. I have always wondered if the genetic father of Jesus could have been the unfallen Adam (or even if Jesus was a genetic duplicate of the prefallen Adam). But the fact remains, it is a simple matter for God to have created Jesus from all new DNA fitting all the scriptural requirements. I am of the opinion that Jesus resembled his mother, brothers, and sisters, so that genetically he probably was related to his mother. The reason why I believe this is because of Jesus' line, how it seems to be all done for a reason, goes through certain people in strange ways, and because scripture requires Jesus to be in the line of certain people, ending with David (so genetically speaking, he might have been David's actual son, who knows). Just theories. All we know for sure is: Jesus is God come in the flesh.

First the virgin birth cannot be explained. That is why it is called a Supernatural event. There is nothing simple to the virigin birth. Plus the problem with cloning God is that he does not have DNA, God the Father is not a human, nor is he flesh and blood.
Secondly I believe the prehistoric animals probably became extinct as the natural selection process warranted them out and also due to some tramatic climate changing event. Meteor? Volcano?

If you mean the flood during Noah's time that certainly not because all the known world was having that flood but not the entire globe because its against common sense.Prehistoric animal like dinosaur were destroyed much more earlier due to other reasons.Birth of Jesus was a miracle in the sense that one of the twins remained dorment till the adolesence of Marry but God never fathered Jesus in the real sense.Metaphorically, He is the father of all of his creations as much as He is father of Jesus.Cloning is not based on any supernatural process but well within domain of God's process.However, if Jesus was something like cloning of God, he should have all the attributes of God.

First of all there are three world ages. When you build a house you don't start with the roof. God is a master builder. The word was in Gen. 1 translates to the Hebrew word became as sited in Strong's Concordance
For something to become something else it had to have a prior existence. God is not concerned with writing a book about how he constructed his house. Prehistory is just that. To create oxygen sufficient to sustain life began deep in the oceans. Giant animal were needed to provide fossil fuel. That doesn't happen outside the rules. This part of history has been reveled to scientist, in Gods own time.
As for Adam and Eve. They were set aside in the garden. They are an 8th day creation. Humanity in general was part of the 6th creation. The 7th day God rested.Eve was taken from Adams Rib. In Strong's Concordance rib translates to curve. This curve has been equated to what we now know as DNA. Adam and Eve had the same DNA.
Enmity was put between Satan's seed and Eve's seed. As a rule seed is attributed to men. The trail of generations from Eve to Christ is essential to be recorded due to the promises of God.

The animals were placed in not on the ark. the rest is reported in the Word of GOD. Dinosaurs were destroyed when the climate was changed due to a meteorite fallout . GOD knew this would happen.

In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.
The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of Gods plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.
Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.
Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.
Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It’s meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

No doubt Satan and the fallen angels had created creatures on Earth. Manicores, Peaguese. You name it, so there may be truth to that statement. Just look at the stories of Greek and Roman mythology. So obviously the demons were having a field day corrupting God's creations.

My best guess would be that extraterrestrials did genetic experiments on earth. They made dinosaurs, didn’t like ‘em, so they eventually scrapped ‘em. Etc. “virgin birth” came from pagan mythology which was already popular in Rome at the time they were writing their bible. People liked it and it caught on, what can you do?

I am curious about how cloning is "Common Place". Is there a store where I can get a clone? I am not trying to bash your question, just trying to understand it that's all.
