Dino and the Ark.

[Can Do (Phil 4:13)]

Ok, I've got a question for all the really Biblically knoweldgeable people. Since Noah took 2 animals on the

Ark, how come we don't have dinosaurs on earth anymore? I have not been able to find a substantial answer to this question. I am a Creationist, but yet I have no idea and no explaination of how there are no dinosaurs still in existance, since the Biblical flood was the first documented global disaster.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Fathie,

There is evidence that dinos did ride the ark. There have been sitings of large lizard-like animals down through the ages.

Try doing a search here for dinosaurs and also on google for modern dinosaurs.

my personal belief is that the dino were here from the start and that satan,acoording to scriputes satan had dominion over the earth but satan wanted heaven and when God threw satan out of heaven and hurled him to earth that it was so casta. that it caused such a force that all was destoryed,in genisis God created some things,others he just made,creation,he made from nothing,made it was already here and he brought life back into it...just my interpation

I tend to somewhat agree with this, it says that in the beggining God created. This has nothing to do with the first day, it really gives no account on when it was created or how old the earth is, it just says the beggining. Well satan was also a created being and this must have been sometime in between the first day and in the beggining.

And yet there really is no mention of satan or the angels creation account in Genesis. satan was already there when God placed Adam in the garden, as a matter of fact good and evil was already in existance, something that Adam knew nothing about until he ate of the tree.

There are only three acts of creation mentioned in Genesis 1:

verse 1 Heavens and the earth.

verse 20-21 Animal life (which could have also included the dino's at this point, David does mention leviathan, of which would make me totally wrong on the divine judgement account and prior flood but then again some think that leviathan was simply a whale.)

verse 26-27 the creation of man.

One day we will know all things, but it appears that this something that God chooses not to reveal to man at this time.

Many believe that there was also a flood before the first day account and perhaps this is when the dino's were distroyed. I am not so sure that I agree with this but it is possible. One of the reasons that I can at least entertain this thought is in Genesis 1:9

Genesis 1:9 (King James Version)

9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

The waters were gathered together into one place and dry land appeared, so the dry land wasnt called into existance, it appeared after called called the waters to be gathered together in one place.

Now if you look at Genesis 1:1

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

There are some that believe in Genesis 1:2

2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Some believe by the statement formless and void, that there was a divine judgement or that simply this was the first stages of creation, on this I would love to hear other comments.

Anyway I tend to think that there was a prior flood and this was possibly a divine judgement prior to the creation of man and that this was the time that satan was created and rebelled and was cast down to earth, but this is pure speculation I must admit.

Perhaps our Jewish brothers that are versed in Hebrew would be able to correct me or perhaps agree. I believe that were two words that could have been used for "formless and void" Tohu and Bohu.

One being the origional "Chaos" discription of the state of the first stage of creation, and the second could mean divine judgement according to Scoffields comments.

Any how, I find it curious that since the creation of man, there is really no mention of these extraorinary creatures speciffically. But I will also admit I am no biblical scholar and this is just my own thoughts on the possibilities of what happened to the dino's.

For those of you who disagree with me, please be gentle

In Jesus

Can Do,

The answer is quite simple - the dinosaurs didn't die out in the first documented global disaster, but the last documented disaster - approximately 65 million years ago. This event is called the "K-T Boundary" event - and it wasn't only the dinosaurs that died. In fact, all creatures over 25Kg in weight died out at the K-T boundary, mainly because they were top, or near the top, of the food chain. This allowed mammals (at the time very small creatures) to evolve into the bigger creatures we see today, filling the "gap" at the top of the food chain that dinosaurs had left.

The K-T Boundary event was most probably caused by a meteor impact, the cratar of which is found of the coast of Mexico at Chicxulub. However, there are several other possible causes that have been theorised for this event, including a so called "flood-basalt" - an unusual spike in volcanic activity.

The K-T Boundary extinction is one of at least 4 major extinctions documented in the fossil record, and is the second biggest - 80% of all life was wiped out. The biggest extinction documented, ironically, was the one that allowed the dinosaurs to thrive - the so called "End-Permian" extinction, 230 million years ago. This killed off about 97% of all species. Both of these events are extremely well documented in the fossil record, and cannot be explained by so called "flood-geology".

All the best,

Personally, I don't believe in dinosaurs. I think they are a figment of mans' imagination. And yes, I Know, they have found bones. Whoopie, big deal!! Any artist can carve anything he likes out of stone. Just look at Mount Rushmore. JMHO
