Is it possible that there could have been 1 pair of dinosaurs on Noah's Ark?

Answer 1

Nope
only their relatives were aboard this cruise !!

Answer 2

Look at Genesis 6:18-20 about Noah and the animals. It doesn’t say two of every kind except dinosaurs. Now, keep in mind that God brought the animals to Noah; it says they will “come to you”; he didn’t have to go out and catch them.

The response that often comes from the skeptic is: “Noah couldn’t have fit all those animals in the ark—especially the dinosaurs!” And you ask them, “How many animals had to go in the ark?” “I don’t know.” “Well, how big was the ark?” “I don’t know.” So, you don’t believe an unknown amount of animals could have fit in an unknown sized ark?

First of all, Genesis 6:20 states that representative kinds of birds and land animals boarded the Ark, not all the different species and subspecies. People say, “But there were over 600 names for dinosaurs.” Yes, and there are many names for the different types of dogs in the world, but all the dog “species” came from only one original dog kind—one Genesis kind. There were many different Ceratopsia dinosaurs that probably all came from one Genesis kind. Many creationists believe there were fewer than 50 distinct kinds of dinosaurs that had to be on the Ark.

Second, you also need to remember that the ark didn’t look like those cutsie Sunday School pictures. The ark was 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet tall (and that’s using a small cubit measurement; it could have been quite a bit larger). The space in the ark would have held more than 520 modern railroad boxcars, and I’ve read that shippers allocate up to 250 sheep per boxcar when moving them by train.

Third, not all dinosaurs were huge, many were as small as chickens. Some scientists say the average size of the dinosaurs was about that of a sheep or a small pony. Very few of the dinosaurs grew to extremely large sizes.

And fourth, who says that he took full grown dinosaurs on board? It would be foolish to fill up space on the ark with the oldest, biggest adults. The largest fossil dinosaur eggs found are about the size of a football. Reptiles normally grow till the day they die so the enormous dinosaurs were probably just very old. Would God want to use senior citizens to populate the new world? Their main purpose was to reproduce after the flood. I don’t think there were old adults of any of the animals on the ark.

Answer 3

Carbon dating puts the dinosaurs much before the time of the flood. The flood of Noah was only a little over 4500 years ago . Adam was created a little over 6000 yrs ago.
I have a theory about the dinosaurs. During the dinosaur age there was a tremendous amount of vegetation and giant dinosaurs.During that period of time both of them were supplying suitable soil which we still need and use today. They also give us our fossil we use today. It was all part of God's plan to make a beautiful planet for us. What man has done with this beautiful planet is a shame. But God has a plan for that also in the very near future.

Answer 4

Why not if you believe in bible. Take all the different animals and living organism times 2 and put them all in an ark, how big would imagine that ark would be? Would something so big could ever disappear in this very small world?

Answer 5

No.

Incidentally, dinosaurs are a vast sub-order of saurian reptiles that encompasses many species. On the imaginary ark, there would have had to have been many imaginary pairs of different types of dinosaurs.

Answer 6

My theory is that only God's animals got aboard the ark. Satan's attempt at creation got left behind. Mmm

Answer 7

Anything is possible with God... my friends and I tend to speculate that Dino died in the flood waters. How else could such a large animal be covered and fossilized in mud so completely? A slow onset of an "ice age" would have given them time to migrate so the flood fits the catastrophic event model better.

Answer 8

Noah's ark is a retelling of an older story that has gotten considerably embellished along the way.

The story, as told, is completely impossible:

And dinosaurs had been extinct for a really long time when we started doing our thing.

Answer 9

I have heard a pastor talk about something on this subject... I would say yes like the aligator... but! the pastor said in a joke-like statement:

God said,"no, your all to big and unimportant." So they just turned around. LOL well, That may be the way how Dinosaures died... the flood.

Answer 10

Yes!

Answer 11

No. Three salient points:
1. Dinosaurs lived from 220 mya to 65 mya.
2. Man (H. sapiens sapiens) arose 125 kya (i.e. *no* overlap).
3. Noah, the flood and the Ark, are all *complete fabrications*.
