Assuming 100% that Genesis is Words of God and God of Genesis exist.
Why didn't God create all the animals ( clean animals ) after the Flood , as He was Omnipotent God ?
It would have save a lot of time, space, and Dino may still exist.
Please don't ask me to read Bible again. It's just in front of me with Karen Armstrong's "In The Beginning" book.
If I were wrong , please correct me by pointing out ( of course , you need to support your own argument )

There isn't enough water on the entire planet to cover the entire Earth. However, at the time that was written, only a small portion of the Earth was known as "the whole Earth", and there WAS a flood, but the amount of genetic damage that would have ensued from having only a single breeding pair of every animal would have wiped out life on Earth. The flood story is in many cultures - not just the Bible. It is an allegory meant to show the power of God, and a reason not to disobey his laws (or else you could be destroyed).

You've gotta love the answer that suggests the amphibians and reptiles didn't need to be on the ark because they were excellent swimmers. 40 days swimming without food would be pretty impressive. If God was going to do that miracle, why not just let ALL the animals, plus Noah's family, have miraculous constitution and dog-paddle through the whole thing?

that's a undemanding fake perception in keeping with a misinterpretation of Genesis a million:2, that there grew to become right into a prior advent wherein something went incorrect and God had to wreck it and initiate over. this odes no longer make experience, for it infers that God is fallible. The Spirit of God shifting upon the face of the waters refers back to the training of area-to-be for the arrival of the sunshine, that's Jesus Christ. at the same time with John a million:a million-5, proves that Jesus Christ created the universe. some human beings say that Genesis financial ruin one and Genesis financial ruin 2 communicate of two different creations, yet that's misguided. financial ruin 2 provides further info to financial ruin one. that's a undemanding technique of writing for the Jews that's prevalent in the process the entire Bible.

You probably haven't noticed, but there are lots of things that God doesn't do, even though He is omnipotent. He has His reasons, and He doesn't always share them with us. I think one reason for the ark's design was to test Noah's faith and obedience, while teaching him patience. Every trial is a lesson, or what would be the point?
Also, you are assuming that the dinosaurs were decimated in the flood. How do you know that? Maybe Noah and his neighbors hunted them to extinction. I think this is one of those questions there are NO provable answers to, so we are basically spinning our wheels until we get to heaven and can ask for ourselves.

God has a purpose for creating them.
Accoridng to Leviticus, God made us to understand something:
Leviticus 11:27: And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all four, those are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.
Leviticus 11:26-28
Leviticus 17:15
And every soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that which was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean.
Leviticus 17:14-16
Leviticus 20:25: Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.

He's God. He does what he wants the way he wants it.
All amphibians and reptiles didn't have to be on the Ark; most of them were/are excellent swimmers. Also, babies and eggs take up much less space than adult animals and eat a lot less food.

A lot of the things God does...or allows to happen...He does to teach someone a lesson in life. God could just make everything "perfect" at any time without blinking but he has a purpose for the things that happen to us in our lives.

If God is perfect as claimed, then he would not have stuffed up the first time and had to destroy and re-create all over again. If he was all knowing, as claimed he would have been aware of the outcome so he would not need to remedy the situation. He obviously is not perfect therefore not god. Use your brainz.
