my pastor said dinosaur was killed during the great flood because Noah couldn't fit them into the Ark, true?

Answer 1

You are jocking right?

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

There are clear indications from fossil evidence that man co-existed with dinosaurs. So did Noah disobey God and simply not take every kind of animal as he was instructed. I'm sure he did, but could he not have taken baby anilmals of each kind in order to have room? The atmosphere was clearly changed after the flood, and dinosaurs wouldhave been unable to survive afterwards. I would question a pastor who reads into texts things that are not spoken about.

Answer 4

Your pastor needs a mental check. The issue whether dinosaurs ever roamed this earth is a myth. Of course the archaelogists may show us the bones and stuff but thats not enough evidence. Moreover none of the religious books mentioned anything about their existence either.

Answer 5

Here's a book to give to your pastor for Christmas, "A Short History of Almost Everything," by Bill Bryson. It will help him get a more accurate view of such things as dinosaurs and the like.

Answer 6

Your pastor is not very wise, nor is he a little stupid.
The great flood is a reproduction of an ancient Babylonian myth, maybe 5000 years old, probably echoing an event of some flooding in Mesopotamia, or it is a reminder of the flooding of the black sea basin some 8000 years ago.
The dinosaurs went extinct some 85000000 years ago.

Answer 7

paleontologists study fossil remains. dinosaurs and humans did not walk the earth at the same time. your pastor may simply have his own reasons for explaining it in this fashion, as for it's being accurate well that's a whole different question. radiometric age dating, radio-carbon dating (isotope carbon-14), radio-active dating and synchrotron x-ray tomographic microscopy are all established scientific methodologies that do substantiate the fact that man and dinosaur never occupied the same time frame- for you it may simply be a question of faith- for those who contend there is no evidence- you compound your ignorance.

Answer 8

Do you always believe what you are told?

If so, please send me $10,000 - Your Pastor told me to ask you. We need to construct a representation of his wisdom ($2 for a bag of nuts and $9998 consultants fee).

There is evidence of a catastrophic flood hitting the Eurasian continent. But that was around 450,000 years ago. Long before God came along.

Answer 9

No. How does he know if it doesnt say that in the Bible?

I would say its more likely they died off because of the flood and when they got onto land, there was not enough food. BUT, I cant be sure.

Answer 10

Noahs ark is actually a space ship from other planet.. when our original planet dies.. some of the animals kept inside to be evolve, and brought here on earth for another generation. Including our ancestors.
wow I made another story which is more possible than bible.

Its a fairy tale Kid.

Answer 11

there are evidences of the death of those dinosaurs, and it clearly says that it's not because of Noah's ark that they died... but that was scientifically explained... it's different in the churche's point of view because they believe in God whole-heartedly... you can't never argue science with religion....
