What happen to the dinosaurs? Was God incapable of motivating Moses to construct a large enough raft for them?

Answer 1

Well, it was Noah in the story...but I (and the LORD) forgive you for your ignorance of the Holy Scriptures...

Seriously, though...it's a myth. Read it as a myth. A myth is a traditional story about gods and heroes that is instructive today not so much for the truths it professes to espouse, but for what it reveals about the culture from which the myth sprang. The Noahic myth tells us that some ancient Mesopotamians believed in a god who had complete control over nature, who intervened directly in people's lives, who was most vengeful in punishing evildoers, who rewarded the faithfulness of good men, who made promises (covenants) with his people. How does that give us a more clear view of ancient civilizations in the Fertile Crescent - many of which shared a similar story in their mythology?

The Noahic myth and the fate of the dinosaurs are in no way contradictory, as long as you properly understand the Noahic story as just that - a story. It doesn't matter if it was true or not.

Answer 2

Fricken funny lol. Both the question and the posters that are taking it all too seriously LOL..

I think "the flood" that covered the "world" was just the world the people knew about at the time. They didn't know about anything beyond the eastern Mediterranean, so they probly had some heavy rains that year and some bad flooding and not being able to explain it in those days, they figured it was caused by the Gods or magic.

Nowadays we just call it flooding due to heavy rains.

I mean think about it really, how would animals from North America, or Australia (example) get to the Fertile Cresent? Or even know to do it? And if these animals were all "rescued" by Noah, then how come there was no documentation of them anywhere?

Why were all the animals we know about today only recently discovered in the last couple of centuries if we've supposedly known about them for so long? hmm. And we're still finding new species.

Answer 3

Simple really. What happened to the dinosaurs was the fact that they could not adapt quickly enough to the rapidly changing environment and that the world was no longer suitable for them (after all, there was three times more oxygen in the air back then). It wasn't until thousands of years after they all died was a human evolved.

I don't know where you got they idea that humans were around while the dinosaurs were...

Answer 4

Either that or Moses disobeyed god... He was told to bring 7 of the clean ones and 2 of the unclean ones. Which were dinosaurs again? Clean or unclean.

Answer 5

Dinosauers are talked about in the Bible even after the flood of Noah and the Ark, not Moses and the raft.

In the KJV they are called "dragons" most of the time.

In Job there is behemoth, which is described just like the animal known as the brontosaurus when I was in school.

I don't know when they became extinct, but it was after the flood.

Answer 6

Moses led the Jews through the wilderness, and received the ten commandments..where do dinosaurs come in?

Answer 7

well...first of all it was Noah(not Moses) that constucted that ark...(not a raft) for the animals (not dinosaurs) who would have never co-existed with humans!
they became extinct long before, there are many theories why however im not sure if anyone knows for sure

:)

Answer 8

Noah constructed a massively gargantuous vessel and the Dino's didn't luck out. God is not incapable

Answer 9

Moses? Noah.

Dinos were not able to adapt to the changing environment.

Dinos were no longer around when God created Adam & Eve.

Answer 10

I will say it again Moses was in the desert. Noah was on the boat. The dinosaurs would have been very difficult to handle. The TRex would have probably eaten everyone.
