What were the techniques and mechanics used, by Noah, to coax a Tyrannosaurus Rex to board his Ark?

Question

We'll leave out the lions and tigers and bears, oh my, for the moment.

Literalists: Just the specific techniques and mechanics, please.

I well understand the age of the dinosaurs. I simply inserted T-Rex as a courtesy to those who insist the Earth is but 6,000 years old. Now, that being clarified, for those of you who insist that the Ark'ed dinos were merely babies, I'll pose a similar question: "How did Noah coax the lesser carnivores onto his boat?" "How much food and water was stored on the boat?" "How long were these animals on the boat?" "How did the modest crew clean up all the animal excrement?"

I could go on....but what would be the point?

Gee...A person asks a simple question and then's accused of attempting to discredit the Judeo/Christian faith? Even if I could, which I can't, why would I want to? Do you EVER question anything you've been told...or do you simply blindly accept whatever you're told? This homie don't play that. If you don't ask questions you'll never have the slightest chance of getting to the truth. The world is full of liars and scoundrels, mugs. You're old enough to know that....Regards, M

Although my question was obviously absurd and posted tongue firmly in cheek, I appreciate the attempts to answer it...some, not surprisingly serious attempts. When faced with the absurdity of coaxing and adult specimen T-Rex on to a boat, a significant number of you informed it entirely possible if it was a baby or unhatched T...or, in the case of a substantial mammal, a baby one would be do-able. I needn't point out that baby or hatchling anythings generally require an adult parent to either nurse them or to bring them food.

As the question was absurd, it's not really fair that I should choose a best answer, so I'm putting it up for a vote.

Again, thanks to everyone who responded. You can't get to the truth of things without asking questions, regardless of the answers you might receive.

Sail on,
M

Answer 1

there were no dinosaurs on Noah's ark, since they became extinct 65 million years ago.

Answer 2

Presumably he just brought a couple of giant dinosaur eggs on board. Then, when it became clear that there wasn't enough food for all the animals (who presumably died of dehydration anyway many times during the journey because there is no mention of fresh water being brought on - and it would have sank the ark if they had - and kept being miraculously resurrected), he made an enormous and very tasty omlette.

Jokes aside, can both the skeptics and the fundamentalists please treat this story as what it is - a "counter-myth", the meaning of which is to be found in seeing how the author adapts earlier versions of the story into his Israelite monotheistic framework?

Answer 3

The bible says God brought the animals to Noah and put them on the ark. Keep in mind, the giant dinosaurs and other animals were more than likely very young or babies, so they could actually fit on the ark.

Answer 4

Are you aware that there has been soft tissue accidentally discovered in dinosaurs in the past few years, and science cannot explain it because it contradicts decomposition theory since a 70 million yr old dino would not have any soft tissue at all - yet they found red blood cells, blood vessels, protein etc., which is supposed to be impossible according to science textbooks UNLESS the dinosaurs are really not 70 million years old, in which case, it contradicts evolutionary theory. By the way, it has been confirmed to be authentic.

Answer 5

there is a natural mechanism in animals.

this mechanism tells them of imminent destruction, and of danger and disasters.

that is why it is common to see animals becoming frustrated hours before a tsunami strikes.

that is why it is common to see birds fleeing a place of disaster much faster than humans detecting the disaster.

this is called the fight or flight mechanism. if they cannot fight for survival, they flee to a place where they can survive most.

animals are more sensitive to natural changes.

so if a worldwide destructive flood was about to happen, animals can actually:

smell the rain, feel the flood coming, and flee to a high place.

the Ark was built on MoUNT ARARAT. animals naturally will go to that place.

so it wont be difficult to coax animals to go into the ark. the animals desire to survive and they will go with their instincts as to where is safest.

Answer 6

T-Rex's are carnivores, so a good slab of camel meat or some delicous bass would be good bait. He of course wouldn't hold the meat because then he would be eaten. So he used the "hey look at this meat! now go get it" then a good strong throw into the T-Rex chamber on the boat. Or he could have used a female T-Rex to get him to get on the boat.

Answer 7

According to Jewish tradition,all of the animals that went on were babies.
(Oh,crap! I never thought of that! I was to busy trying to be a pseudo intellectual!)
In Job 40 ,God talks about Behemoth who stands in the river ,can't be caught,eats grass,has ribs of iron,and a tail like a cedar tree.Crocodiles don't eat grass,hippos and elephants don't have tree like tails.Sounds like a Diplodaucus to me.
God says"See Behemoth whom I made along with you"....
Not a billion years before.
Google the word "Ica Stones" you'll see how ancient Peruvians carved into stone them hunting stegosaurus,and taming others.It's a trip and it is true.You've been fooled by seculars .
Also ,the cubit used by Noah was 24" not 18".

Answer 8

TOTALLY disregarding your inane question and attempt to (once again) discredit the Judeo/Christian faith... here is a little poem my sister wrote when she was a girl... "Noah's Ark"

HARK! HARK! Noah's ark!
A mew, a bray, a roar, a bark!
Animals EVERYWHERE, Oh LORD!!
Noah? He jumped overboard!

G'night and may Gawd bless! (as per Red Skelton)

Answer 9

Noah tied a rope around a turkey's neck, swung it around in front of the T-Rex until he got it's attention, and then drug the turkey on board the Ark and the T-Rex followed.

Answer 10

Lordy, Lordy. Noah's ark was build millions of years after the last dinosaur died. As far as the lions, tigers, bears and such they all laid down beside all the other animals, Noah and his family and cause no harm or problems. Pops

Answer 11

Simple. Noah didn't. God did. Noah was already on the ark, and the animals were sent there by God. God chose which ones that were to go.
