Dinosaurs and the Bible take 2...?

Question

Seriously, how believable is it to think that a 600 year old dude, Noah, could scavenge the earth to successfully get 2 of every animal, and according to some, dinosaurs as well? How many people could go get themselves a pair of bears and mountain lions with out it being the last stupid thing they do before death? And if he really did get dino on the boat, how does the timeline work out since they are millions of years old and Noah and his boat are thousands of years old...How can anyone believe this stuff? Please, enlighten me...

Answer 1

Gee, that's easy!

God helped him.

Sure.

He made the animals tame.
And transported them from other continents.
And made them really small so they'd all fit on the boat.
And put them into suspended animation so they wouldn't need food or take a crap.
And took care of all the fish, birds, bacteria, parasites.
And put everything back where it needed to go afterward.

As long as you believe in an all-powerful, invisible sky being, anything is possible.

Right?

Answer 2

The story is just a story. Like most myths and legends, there is probably a grain (in this case a very small one) of truth in the story. Most likely, Noah was a man (more likely one of a tribe in the area) who, at the end of the Ice Age, noticed that the rivers and land were flooding more and more every year. He explained to his small tribal community what he saw, some of them agreed with him and some thought he was a wack-job. He and those that agreed with him built boats (larger than dugouts but not the monstrosities most think of) and put enough food (including live animals) to survive the month or two of flooding (40 is what the Greeks used to mean many the way we might say "thousands or forever" exaggerating for effect). This story appears in other cultures, some older than the Bible and is most likely the root of the Noah story.
We know that the whole dinosaur thing is just plain stupid as humans and dinosaurs never coexisted.

Answer 3

The scientists have it messed up.
The dinos didn't get on the Ark, or due to the change in climate because of the flood, they could not survive.
Before the flood, there was no rain. No one ever saw it before. According to the Bible, a mist would come up from the ground instead.
The world was a much different place then. Naturally, the scientists would all dismiss this since they choose not to believe the written record of these event in the Bible, and God.
Yes, instead they have devised this wonderful story of their own, where millions of years have elapsed, and man evolved and other things.
Come to think of it, these so-called scientific facts closely mirror the basic beliefs of every religion...beginning of the world, how man got here, etc. all religions try to answer the same question.
In any event, it was God that brought in the animals, not Noah.
Of course, when the Ark was found, it was pretty much hushed up- too many people would lose too much money if their teachings were called into question.

Answer 4

Dinosaurs are not in the bible anywhere no matter what the xian story is this week.

I'm free wrote:
First of all the time that biologists used is messed up and you know it. Second of all, all Noah needed was two baby dinosaurs. They sleep a lot, eat less and are easier to take care of. To think of Noah taking mature animals is rather silly.

All I can say is......Are you for real?

Answer 5

He wasn't 600 at the time of the flood just a mere 120. second animals are creatures of instinct. God sent them to the arc. Dino' ? could be there is mention in the bible in a few places of a Leviathan which some try to say was just a crocodile but the description sounds more like a Dino or Dragon to me.

Answer 6

OK. Dinosaurs lived.... millllllionssss of yeeearrrs before Noah!

Answer 7

Todays people refuse to accept that the world is more than 5000 years old or that science is just a theory, and more like an alien idea of domination and damnation. Which of course is rubish and sloppy thinking!

Answer 8

First of all the time that biologists used is messed up and you know it. Second of all, all Noah needed was two baby dinosaurs. They sleep a lot, eat less and are easier to take care of. To think of Noah taking mature animals is rather silly.

Answer 9

It is more than likely the story of Noah is a myth, one which occurs in other cultures (eg., the Babylonian epic of Gilgamesh). It may have simply been a 'cautionary tale' - see what happens when God gets mad?

There are 3 heaven and earth ages, same heaven and earth but different ages.
(II Pet.3:5-7) For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: (6) Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: (7) But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

THE WORLD THAT THEN WAS
(Gen.1:1) In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
To that earth age the world that then was, belongs all fossils and remains. Scientific estimates or guesses; universe or heavens 20 billion years old, earth 4.6 billion years old, moon 200 to 300 million years younger than earth, dinosaur extinction 65 million years ago, Ice Age 2.5 million years ago.
><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><>
BEING OVERFLOWED WITH WATER PERISHED
(Gen.1:2) And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
The first word “was” (hayah) in Hebrew, was not distinguished by the Revisers, that is the verb “to be” from “to become”. The same Hebrew word “hayah” is translated “became” in Gen.2:7.
WITHOUT FORM H8414 tohu (to'-hoo) From an unused root meaning to lie waste; a desolation (of surface), that is, desert; figuratively a worthless thing; adverbially in vain: - confusion, empty place, without form, nothing, (thing of) nought, vain, vanity, waste, wilderness.
VOID H922 bohu (bo'-hoo) From an unused root (meaning to be empty); a vacuity, that is, (superficially) an undistinguishable ruin: - emptiness, void.
(GEN.1:2) AND THE EARTH BECAME DESOLATE AND EMPTY
Earth was not created that way but became desolate and empty due to Satan’s rebellion. A global overflowing of water, but not Noah’s deluge. Darkness was upon the (face) of the deep, in other words the whole earth.
Into this we can read; dinosaur extinction, destruction of Atlantis, breakup of Gondwana Land, and the Ice Age.

BUT THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH WHICH ARE NOW
(Gen.1:2) And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
(Gen.1:3) And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
About 63 A.D. Peter writes, the heavens and the earth which are now. The heaven and earth age we are in now, today.
BY THE SAME WORD ARE KEPT IN STORE
RESERVED UNTO FIRE
AGAINST THE DAY OF JUDGMENT
AND PERDITION OF UNGODLY MEN
PERDITION G684 apoleia (ap-o'-li-a) From a presumed derivative of G622; ruin or loss (physical, spiritual or eternal): - damnable (-nation), destruction, die, perdition, X perish, pernicious ways, waste.
Some will perish eternally and not see the third heaven and earth age.
