God decided to kill all humans, babies and all. Because we are all evil and he loves us so much.
And they wonder why we laugh at them.

This depends on your interpretation of the story of Noah. Many Catholic scholars do not consider this story (and many in the book of Genesis, in fact) to be a literal fact-for-fact retelling of an actual event, but as an analogy. I've read some interpretations as the "ark" representing the protection of the church from the "flood" (i.e - the evil) of the outside world.
If you want a more specific answer to your particular question based on the Bible itself here goes...basically, God viewed mankind as wicked and had gone astray worshipping other gods, idols and such...and he felt that Noah was the only upright man on the earth, so he decided to save him and his family line only and wipe out the rest of the human race. Unfortunately, that meant everyone, orpahns, widows and children included. As far as why he decided to have Noah save the animals...I'm not sure. Maybe someone else has a theory. My initial guess would be for food...what else would they have to eat? Not many people were vegetarians in those days I bet.
As a Catholic myself, I view alot of these stories as just that...divinely inspired literary lessons that are most likely not exact retellings of actual events. While they may be based somewhat in facts (I'm sure Noah existed, and that there were times in Earth's history where the surface was flooded), I think most reasonably educated people, religious or not, should find it hard to believe that a person could build an ark like this and capture every species of animal and insect and place it inside.
Like I said, I'm a Catholic Christian (and far from a Bible scholar!) and believe me...I rolled my eyes too when I heard about half the stuff in this museum. I dont think a person should be blinded by totally science or totally religion...the truth lies in the middle. Faith is one thing, but come on...dinosaurs on the ark? Didnt we establish that dinosaurs went extinct like 60 million years before man existed? I think somewhere even Jesus must be rolling his eyes at this museum. But, as Americans with the right to free expression, who is to say they can't do it?

i dont know why but i do believe dinosaurs were on the ark. again no proof other wise. infact more proof humans were with dinos at the same time then not. and proven the ark was big enough. after the flood is when man was able to eat meat. before the flood all that said was that the fruits and plants were for meat and after the flood God said the animals were also now for meat. so it was also possible that being big and all the humans saw them and said hmm that would be a lot of meat and i only have to kill one. and so they probally hunted them down. being there was not many on the ark at all. also maybe the fact God used them to prove evolution wrong. for the dinos could not adapt to the new environment. being the earth was more like a big dessert and a green house effect and after the earth rained and was like it is now. and not so much a green house effect anymore.

The Ark was not big enough to house 2 of every dinosaur. Dinosaurs were not around at that time.
Sometimes common sense ain't so common.

Dinosaurs were wiped out 65 million years ago by meteors.
Mankind evolved from monkeys which evolved from rodents.
The rodents survived underground on stored food.
Dinosaurs depended on huge amounts of vegetation.
The vegetation was killed off by the lack of sunlight.
Which was caused by the dust from the meteor impact.
Noah came much later in the middle-eastern area.

Those persons who put the exhibits in the "creation" mueseum are not the brightest bulbs in the socket.
Dinosaurs were long gone by the time humans appeared.
There were not dinosaurs on the boat.
Get theee hence to the nearest library and begin to READ!!!
May it all be well with you.

Dinosaurs became extinct from this earth long before man became a biped and became man. So no, Noah didn't have any dinosaurs to save instead of innocent human babies. He was just doing his job the way the Creator told him to, anyway.

since babies are innocent, when they die they would go to heaven. So in reality God saved them from the horrors they would have faced growing up with the depraved society that they lived in.
I don't like to see people die, but I can't help but wonder when some of these babies are killed in meth lab explosions, or abortions, or any bad situations, perhaps God is sparing that child.
Those babies die and go to heaven. If they were raised in the environment that their parents created they may never make it.

The new creation museum creates some very implausible stories. They are all nuts. It is time we round them all up and put them in padded rooms for the rest of their lives.

Haven't you ever heard of "God's Plan"???
Jesus Christ, what a question!
Seriously,... the "creators" of the Creation Museum are on crack!
Oh, Doppler.... didn't your god create that wicked mankind, knowing all along he'd have to destroy it later???
What a crock of sh*t.
