why did noah leave the wooly mammoth behind, did they not fit, like the dinosaurs?

Question

did he misread a few measurements, or are mamoths and dinosaurs not worthy

Answer 1

actually the mammoths owed noah a couple hundred dollars so they felt it would be awkward if they showed up...

Answer 2

Read Genesis 6:18-20 about Noah and the animals. It doesn’t say two of every kind except dinosaurs and mammoths (which are simply a type of elephant by the way). 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 (like yourself) 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. And he only needed to bring one elephant "kind" on the ark. As the elephants multiplied and spread out after the flood, they took on different characteristics and different species and subspecies came about. Later, the mammoths became extinct.

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

in accordance to the record, the ark became about 450 feet lengthy, seventy 5 feet huge and 40 5 feet tall. It had 3 flooring interior. It would not factor out decks above yet quite the residing house windows and doors that were tight to save out the water. As for the animals interior, i believe the dinosaurs and mammoths were both lengthy lengthy gone in the previous the flood handed off. The timing of the animal species existence and departure is uncertain. for sure, the medical timing does no longer in fantastic condition with the biblical timing. i believe the answer is someplace in between. It really would not count number number. It also would not count number number if all of in the present day's species were no longer on the ark. i believe that a representative of each kinfolk of animal became aboard and the evolution of species could have taken position after the flood to fill in what we see in the present day.

Answer 4

Obviously you have no idea just what it takes to trap the elusive wooly mammoth.

They were very cunning animals with, what can best be explained as, cat like reflexes. Noah just didn't have the time to hang around and track these animals.

First off, he had an Arc to build...hello! That took up some of his hanging around time. Then he had to pair up all of these animals in an orderly line. Do you know how hard it is to get a chimpanzee to do anything in an orderly fashion?

I just thank our lucky stars that he was able to get the Jackalope on board before he shoved off.

Answer 5

He had dino's on the ark, for dino's still walk today. And instead of going through the entire story, I'll give you the simple facts to check for yourself.

Get information, pictures on the bones of the Raptor dino. Then do the same for the desert sand running lizard. After you look over both you should realize what the truth is.

And if you say something about their size, then you need to study the principles and effects of an oxygen chamber and use the findings from ice cores and amber samples to realize what I speak of.

Think logical....if mammoths weren't on the Ark.....then how do we find them today frozen solid in the Arctic? All was destroyed by water.....not ice.

Answer 6

Dinosaurs and Mammoths were not a part of God's original design. Once Adam and Eve sinned there was a genetic mutation of alligators, birds, elephants, and the like to create giant evil creatures. The dinos, and mammoths deserved to die to rid the planet of these evil creatures.

Plus, did you know that while it was raining that God sent lightning down and it hit every single pterodactyl.

Answer 7

One of the wooly mammoth's tried to eat some of the deer, so Noah tossed them overboard.

Answer 8

I hear the wooly mammoth was full of sin!!

Answer 9

Didn't you know? Jesus bravely battled Stegosaurus in the streets of Jerusalem.

Answer 10

They did not exist in Noah's time.
