Were there dinosaurs on Noah’s ark?

If yes; then how did all those types of huge ones fit in? And what happened to them once they were released back into the wild?

If no; then why not?

Dinosaurs and primitive man were from a past creation.

That’s an interesting take on it.

God was probably honing his creating skills, over a few million years, so early creations were really primitive and clumsy. The directive to 'replenish the earth' implies life was there before.

Is the word “replenish” used?

From the KJV

Gen_1:28  And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Gen_9:1  And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

Same directive to Noah as well. The earth had life in some past era, prior to the creation of Adam.

There were "beta versions" of Creation!?

This seems to make "god" less a god and more an alien using advanced technology to create science dioramas for his fourth grade teacher.

Really, this sounds like a tire patch applied on-the-fly.

Since genetics disproves Noah and a flood story the answer is a scientific no .

That would explain where Cain's wife came from. She was not Adam's progeny.

Could very well be.

You can call it beta versions if you like but they were just creations. There are some facts which cannot be ignored and which many Christians find distasteful because it contradicts their interpretation of the bible.

Embarrassing facts such as where Neandertals and Denisovans came from. We find their fossil remains and their tools and cave paintings; we must assume that they really lived--they were not created fossils.

We know very well what happened to dinosaurs: they died out after a rogue asteroid struck the Earth, which sent up a plume of dust and ash which darkened the planet for several years and interrupted photosynthesis, about 66 million years ago.

Humans were not around then, so the answer to the OP question is 'no', there were no dinosaurs on Noah's Ark.


PS there was no Noah's Ark either. It's a fairy story.

It’s not a “fairy story”, their are no fairies, pixies, elves in it.

Or maybe she was but descended from Lilith?
