How come there weren't any Dinosaurs on Noah's Ark?

and also.. when the flood came, how did all the sea animals die?

anoxia. They died from anoxia.

Assuming you mean salt water sea life, all the freshwater would have upset the salt level, killing them.

Just guessing.....don't believe the story anyway.

Noah was racist against dinosaurs, dragons and unicorns and wouldn't let them on his boat.

Either that or he was too busy getting drunk and masturbating.

Yeah, he was a real character!

A real hit at kid's parties, I hear.

They didn't have a ticket. Nobody got on without a ticket.

Who is God
And what did God want?
He wanted Noah to build
A great big boat
He wanted it filled
With all life to float
Over the deluge
Over the rainbow
To be safe from
The Water below
And when he saw
The Rings 'round Saturn
He knew it was safe to return
Who is God
And what does God want?
He wants us to build
A great big boat
While we were filled
with fear in our heads
And cowered under our beds
In wait for the monster
Who never came
We have
Destroyed our world

How do you know that there weren't any on the ark? I never saw an all inclusive list in the bible. Still, that part is bullshit. That ark was not that big and two of every animal would not fit in Rhode Island.

It's a little known historical fact that Noah beat Roy Scheider for being the first to say, "We're gonna need a bigger boat," by about 4,000 years.

Yeah, often wondered how he could have fit 2 of every animal into a boat.

Then again, could have been a huge-ass boat. Took him a couple hundred years to build, no?

They must have had a lot of breaks in those days.

If you want to see the "ark", go to Chauvet, France. It is a Noah's ark of, now extinct life forms. It is the oldest and the best of all the cave art. What is interesting, is that, when Chauvet was painted, Neanderthals had not yet left the fossil record. Maybe they thought they could hide in a cave when the ice sheet melted.

Fucking unions....

Anyway, here's tha Catch-22...a boat big enough to fit all the animals (indeed, even the size as directed in The Bible) made out of wood would never last for that long....the physics won't work (saw that on a science channel a few months ago).

I think the ark would have been cool with a huge-ass flight deck on top of it.

Yeah, we talked a bit about it in physics class during high school.

I'm going to hell for questioning what the Bible says. I know it.

NO, you are going to Don Quixote hell for making wind mills. You are disrupting all those guys working in a coal mine.

Oh, shit. it looks like obama on the left. I never knew he was part of DEVO. Yes I am drinking now

This is fun!

Fun only if you can follow my train of thought

You make it sound like getting drunk and masturbating is a bad thing.

Poor enlisted person, he's just not feeling the love tonight.

Not really, my little car got crashed. I am not in a great mood. Still, let have some fun.

1. Who says there weren't?


2. As everyone knows, Man has from ancient times been a careful and studious observer of the ocean creatures. (It's true that as centuries passed, there was talk of "sea serpents" and such rot, but that was entirely due to ignorant landlubbers.) So it would make perfect sense for God to expect even a land-locked man such as Noah to know about all the sharks, whales, deep-sea fish, octopi, and squid that needed to be saved from the terrible onslaught of, um, water that was coming. (Since SCUBA gear wasn't invented yet, the coral was of course on its own.)

Especially since the Bible records God explicitly mentioning water-dwelling animals to Noah. Yep, right there, between . . . um . . . and, er . . .

Not to assume for a moment that the Biblical account is a literal historical event BUT those who attack it often overstate their case.

A couple of instances just in this thread:

1. Dino's are what? Reptiles right? Reptiles reproduce how? Eggs? So the reptiles were in the Egg Closet on the Lido deck.

2. Nothing in the bible says the animals were fully grown adults. 2 small calves are easier to store, and feed, then two full grown cows, and so forth.

If you want to attack the flood, the whole business of where you get enough water to cover the whole earth makes a lot more progress.

it was one pair of most animals; 7 pair of others.

Shep , don't start with that Mississippi Logic. I ate one of those damn slug burgers they serve in Corinth. You know there are just too many holes in that ark story for it to be true. That ark could not have stored two young ones of every species that has went extinct in the last 200 years, much less all of them. Do you know how many species of birds there are? 9000 known as of today.

If it was a literal story, which I personally don't believe it to be, I always just imaged some huge iceage.

Meh, not really attacking the whole story.....just wondering out loud how certain things are possible.

I do the same. Perhaps Noah was living on a island or close to the water and some mega earthquake or meteor strike was sending a massive tidal wave. I mean who knows. It's fun to think about it all.

A. I'm not defending the story (I don't believe it myself in the literal sense) but I can still make observations about the rhetoric involved in (tired repetitive) debates like this one;

B. Of the millions of species in the world, the VAST majority of them are quite small. when you take out all the insects, all the sea creatures that could survive in the oceans (laying aside the salt/fresh delima for a sec) - and that would be all of those which survived since they didn't have aquariums in those days - and all the various sorts of birds which would be fending for themselves on some floating piece of wood or some such...you REALLY narrow down that number.

so if you want to argue "what would fit" you have to recognize you are not trying to fit 2/7 of EVERY species....just of every species that couldn't otherwise survive (even with miraculous aid). then you go past that and consider how many of them would have been adolescent rather than full grown and you gain more room.

Then you go past that and consider things that don't really need much room (rats, mice, squirrels, cats, and so on) and the problem gets even smaller.

Now I have no clue whether or not after you make all those adjustments you could find room for what remains (one guy did the math and claims it's possible but obviously he might have had a bias and i don't care enough to check his work) BUT I CAN make the observation that 98% of those who cry "there wasn't enough room" haven't really thought these things through.

If you think I'm about defending the literal interpretation of OT history you are sadly behind the curve. I never really was and even that I was willing to argue for is long since in the past.

but as always, I reserve the right to point out when someone is making a flawed argument, even if I generally agree with his or her position.
