Did dinosaurs get aboard the ark?

• Yes

• No

Answer explanation

If Genesis 6:19,20 is true, then dinosaurs would have been on the ark. If anyone has doubts as to whether the dinosaurs would have fit on the ark, keep in mind that the ark was the size of several football fields and was three stories high. Calculations have been made that prove that two of every kind ofanimal, including dinosaurs, and seven of all the clean animals could have easily fit in the ark, with plenty of space left for food. Keep in mind that it would not be necessary to take full grown specimens. Baby reptiles are fully independent. Even so, only a few dinosaur species are large. Most are the size of dogs or smaller.

Why aren’t there any dinosaurs today?

Answer explanation

Dinosaurs may have lived for a long time after the flood, but the conditions of the world would have changed drastically.

Before the flood, the climate of the world was very much like a greenhouse, even at the poles. After the flood, the climate of the world became more hostile to those types of animals that needed greenhouse-like conditions to survive.

Most dinosaurs probably died out because of the hostile environment. However, there is no reason to believe that no dinosaurs exist today. Just because they haven’t been seen by modern people doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

In fact, a rare bird in Australia was thought to be extinct for 30 years, until one man finally saw it. Since then other sightings have occurred. Evidence has revealed the likelihood that some dinosaurs have survived.
