Why does the Noah’s Ark story leave out the majority of animals on earth?

Question

The majority of species are arthropods. They have been around for over 400 million years. Yet, the bible says nothing about Arthropoda Chelicerata and freshwater crustaceans. Why is that? It seems like Noah only cared about the minority of animals on the planet. A very small group called amphibians, reptiles, and mammals. What about phylum Arthropoda, the Arthropods on land? What about all the insects? Invertebrates make up the majority of species on the planet. Where did the imaginary god put them all? It seems that the imaginary god only cares about vertebrates? Sense Christians do not believe in evolution, Noah would have to build a ship large enough for all the species of insects that have lived between now and then. This would be much larger to contain all these insects than all the animals in the story. We are talking about millions of species of land dwelling invertebrates here.

Answer 1

All animals of every kind was in Noah Ark and this saying is in the bible. Now when mankind rewrote the bible from its original use, perhaps they failed to mention some of the animals trying to narrow down some words. So therefore any species not in the ark could therefore survive the high flooding waters. God is not imaginary he is so real. It took a while for Naoh to build that Ark and perhaps there was not million and trillion of people we have today to put in the Ark. Christians do not believe in evolution is true but in the everlasting supreme being God God God God God.

Answer 2

Bible is mainly a book of FICTION< Myth, legends and fairy tales.

To contain all land animals, Noah and his sons would have had to build an ark bigger than the Queen Mary and Ronald Regan aircraft carrier combined. And still have to cram the animals into tight stalls.
That alone would've taken them over 300 yrs and all the wood in Mesopotamia. How much longer to even collect all the animals? Bible doesn't say anything about God making new animals after the flood.
Where would they have room for fresh water and food? How do they stop the carnivoures from eathing other animals for over half a year? It rained for only 40 days, but the waters didn't subside for at least another 5 months. THink of all the animal crap and feces they had to clean up.

Answer 3

would he put them in tiny beetle cages? seems like some of them could have gone through a reproductive cycle in the trip. Good God, what a logistical nightmare. Could he just keep the bed and dust mites in the beds and on the floors? And what would the insectivores (anteaters, mantises) eat? Did he have to bring bolls of cotton for the boll weevils?

Answer 4

at the time of Noah what kind of weather reports they had for prognosis of rain and time to build a ship to hold all the animals of the earth and what kind of tools to accomplish a task like that but you have to be blind christian to believe that kind of joke !!

Answer 5

during those time majority of the animal was smaller and could fix nicely in that ark

Answer 6

LOL that's comical. Try reading the story next time.

Do insects have lungs or breath through their skin?
Animals in the water....ummm it was a flood, its still water.

Try try try again, least read the story so you don't look so bad.

Answer 7

Are you serious? Do you have any idea how long the Bible would be if it listed every species that was in the ark? Sometimes you just got to have faith!

Answer 8

I didn't see no polar bears or moose or penguins or duck-billed platypi, did you?

Answer 9

The beetles, won't someone think of the beetles!!

Answer 10

It's almost as if it were a myth.
