Why did the Dinosaurs get shunned from Noah's Ark??

Question

and dont bring crap like crocodiles. we all know a T Rex cant swim

Answer 1

Just imagine that he took the eggs and had them incubated later. They will probably say that in the next re-write because it is more plausible.

Answer 2

Dinosaurs didn't get shunned from Noah's Ark. But you are referring to everyone's modern version of what they think happened. T REX is a modern idea. In fact the Noah wouldn't know what a dinosaur was. The term dinosaur was only recently invented. But in Noah's day they would have been small creatures and they would have fit in the ark along with all the other creatures.

Answer 3

Who said they "got shunned from Noah's ark"? The Bible never said that!

I believe dinosaurs may have been on the ark but they went extinct shortly after the flood.

This extinction could have been caused by at least three factors.

First, many of the dinosaurs were plant-eaters. Shortly after the flood, many of the larger dinosaurs may have had a hard time finding enough to eat until the plant life grew back. When the larger plant eating dinosaurs began to die, it may have been hard for larger meat-eating dinosaurs to find food also.

Secondly, many dinosaurs, especially smaller ones may have been eaten by other meat-eating animals. This would have provided food to help those other animals to become re-established, but it would have killed off many of the dinosaurs.

Third, most extremely large animals normally have a long breeding cycle. This long period of time increases the chance that one of them could have been injured or killed before the reproduction was accomplished.

In addition, many speculate that the animals taken on the ark were very young and immature specimens. If this was the case, these animals would have to mature before being able to reproduce. Again larger animals have longer life spans (normally), so it may have been some time before they reached a sufficient age. This also increases the chance that one would die or be injured before reproduction.

Answer 4

Dinosaurs were on the ark if they were alive on the earth during Noah's life. Job speaks of them in his book. More than likley Noah had baby dinosaurs on the ark, and the catstrophe of the flood changed the atmosphere which the dinosaurs could not thrive in and became extinct afterwards.

Answer 5

The largest plant-eating dinos were simply waaaay too large to fit into the Ark as described in the Bible - it would have sunk with them aboard. The big meat-eaters consumed too much food and would have devoured everything else on the Ark in 40 days. The dinos weren't the only things that Noah wisely left behind - those nasty sabre-tooth tigers weren't exactly too friendly either!

The Neanderthals apparently got on the wrong boat.

Answer 6

I personally do not believe they were shunned. Lizards and reptiles grow throughout their lifespans so if left to live they would get very BIG. The large ones were probably killed in the flood. I would tend to think Noah would take the little harmless babies with him (for safety and hygiene purposes, they were also not allowed to procreate while on the boat). Behemoths, and fire breathing dragons are discussed in the bible and you can find drawings of these great beasts on cave walls from old civilizations and in their art. As far as not seeing a t-rex anymore, I think they were rid of through extinction by hunting just like a lot of other animals we see on our list of upcoming extinctions. They were a threat to their communities and snuffed out.

Answer 7

Dinosaurs (T-Rex's too) were created or existed at a different time period. They existed prior to the earth being re-conditioned to suit the human rule starting with Adam & Eve.
In Genesis, 1 verse 1, it is describing a re-creation of the earth's surface. The dinosaurs existed in that era or age, were all, wiped out and the earth was re-conditioned. This verse of Genesis can be better rendered "In A beginning, God created the heaven and the earth." The earth was in existence already, at this period in time. This is why the fossil record does not include human bones found within the same phyla [division] as the dinosaur fossils. The human bones come much, much later.

Answer 8

Hi,
Well, we don't know for sure that they were completely shunned. from Noah's Ark. I've heard 2 explanations:

1. They could not survive the new climate on the earth after the flood, so they died and became extinct after the flood. Thousands of animals have died from extinction, so this makes sense to me.

2. The dinosaurs were actually hybrids that men had created by inter-breeding different species. In Genesis it says that man was exceedingly wicked - and I've heard scholars assume that one of the atrocities was inter-mixing animals and creating the super-breed of dinosaurs. (I don't really buy into this idea).

Answer 9

Dinosaurs were in Noah's Ark. Dinosaurs still existed many years after Noah's time (Read Kings)

Answer 10

They didn't. Before 1841 they were refered to as dragons. There are many stories of dragons being killed throughout history. There are many alive today, not as big as they can only grow as big as their surroundings allow them. The Lake Champlain Monster, Lochness Monster, all are "dinosaurs. The celeocanth, these are all Dinosaurs. Look uf Babylon. Saddam Hussein rebuilt the entire city to it's original form with engravings of dinosaurs all over the place. Look up Ica Peru. They have uncovered tens of thousands of stones of various sizes depicting man and dinosaurs working and playing together. Also look up Mokele Mbembe. It is fascinating stuff.

Answer 11

I guess Noah left the dinosaurs out of the boat because he was too busy sailing off to Australia to pick up the kangaroos. Then after the flood receded he had to drop the kangaroos off before heading back to Mt. Ararat. Also his boat was a dozen times bigger than any other wooden boat ever built and he was an amateur, so you can just imagine how much time he spent bailing water out of the bilge. With a busy timetable like that, the dinosaurs got left out in the cold.

Don't get me started on the unicorns.
