In genesis, god looks at all the animals that he created and he pronounces them good. Yet, the species that exist today are less than 1% of those that existed. http://www.bagheera.com/inthewild/ext_background.htm Were they 'bad' in god's eyes, practice for him? The bible claims that all of god's works are perfect. If they were also 'good', why then did the have to dissappear?

Were All God's Animals 'Good'
All except for the skunks....they were just 'so-so'.

The five mass extinction episodes occurred because of major changes in the prevailing ecological conditions brought about by climate change, cataclysmic volcanic eruptions, or collisions with giant meteors.

Well, the ones that god couldn't make up his mind about, he put on a continent of their own, called australia, today. The skunks gave him a god shot, anf thereafter, he left them alone.

When my son was little, he said that God did not like dinosaurs and that's why God didn't stop the asteroid from hitting the Earth.
For myself I'm rather relieved that fire ants and mosquitos are all I have to fight through rather than a T-Rex.
When I was a little boy, my mother told me that the Dinosaurs outlived their usefulness. They were used, she said, to keep the vegetation in check, to keep it from taking over the whole earth. Then God allowed the dinosaurs to die in the flood.
I wish I were making this up.

Yah, me too, though i think sometimes that they might not have been as ferocious as scientists make them out to be. Wonder if christian-rex will drop in w an explanation to my original question.

Sounds like a pitbull extinction.

Yes. That's the line of BS I got from my parents. Makes one wonder why god, in it's infinite ability, did not just create the earth ready for it's present inhabitants rather than create countless millions of species to do the dirty work and then slaughter them with a 'giant fire rock'. "God of Love" lol... To think I used to believe this crap. Jeannie *psst... hello, Kitty :) Long time, no see...

My mother told me that too. For the same thing to be said both in the USA and here in Britain, it must have come from something printed
