Why did God save the animals during the flood, but KILL them in other mass extinction events?
Brendan G asked:
in the Biblical flood, God is careful to instruct Noah to preserve the animals, but in at least 5 previous *major* and at least 10 other less dramatic mass extinctions, God killed animal species by the millions.

Were the animals sinning then?

Eartha: the cretaceous extinction is now generally considered to be caused by a meteor impact, many of the others are now accepted to have been because of a massive increase in sulfur hydroxide in the atmosphere. Smashing to Earth or poisoning the atmosphere both sound like “acts of God” to me!

Maybe God likes to hunt.
I Cr 13;8a
God gives life and takes it away. He decides when we die.
Where is your proof that the hand of God did these things?
Animals are becoming extinct today, because of natural climate changes and man’s greed.
how else are you going to explain everything surviving a worldwide flood?
Well, some Christians tend to dodge that by claiming the earth is only 6,000 years old, thus negating the mass extinctions that came before it. Creationism is yet another attempt to dodge the reality of an old universe and the evolutionary process.
It has nothing to do with the concept of sin, which they created to judge and codify human nature.
Do you think he had a hard time getting the polar bears back to the boat? Then he had to head the other way for a couple of penguins. I always wonder about that part. God must have given him a hand rounding stuff up. Animals aren’t judged. God’s actions are absolutely just. They are often not for our understanding.
God was confused. He has undergone therapy and is now on Prozac, Celexa, Effexor, and Valium.He weekly attends Murdering Creators Anonymous meetings.
Brendan, you are intelligent. Haven’t you figured out the Grand Canyon was caused by erosion from Noah’s flood?
Perhaps the animals didn’t do anything wrong before the flood, at least those around when the flood supposedly happened. Must have been sin.
I don’t believe the Bible, by the way.
It gets funnier. Now they claim that Noah had dinosaurs on the arc. So, the all-knowing god saved the dinosaurs so they could all then rapidly die off. Either god is a total whack-job, or the people who made him up are.
he supposedly killed all but two of each animal during the flood, which is hardly preserving them.
this is all so silly. why do people talk about stories in the Bible like they are real? and animals DO NOT “sin”
Why are you trying to antagonize and start an argument?
Don’t try to justify your question by stating you were only looking for a proper answer,as if this were the case you would go to the source - in which you obviously do not believe.
Yes all the animals were sinning. The animal “jesus” didn’t come to die and have all their sins washed away at that time. They had to wait for their prophet PETA, now they can join God in heaven.
disagree with Seethelight - God says - I came to give life and life in abundance. the thief cometh not but kill steel and destroy.
answer to your question - what makes you think God does this?
