Just another contridiction/ridiculous Biblical quotation, not sure if it the biggest!
“And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men: and the people lamented, because the LORD had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter.” 1 Samuel 6:19
Unless my math is a bit fuzzy again, this says 50,070 men were killed for looking into the Ark of the Covenant. Are we to conclude that each and every one of these 50,070 men looked into that box?
Would you like to calculate the amount of time for 50,070 men to actually come by and look into that box? And then did God start killing them right away as they looked in or did He wait till they were all done then smote all their asses?
If not, wouldn’t you think once the first “lookers” began to die that the rest would have figured it all out?

Maybe these Bronze Age Numbnuts were slow learners! "Hey, Ackmed, why are those 30,000 men up there all dead? I can't wait till we get to look in the silly wood crate and see what's all the fuss is about. Duh....I'll go first!" "Hey Bubba, you got to see this!"
They also lamented. I'd be hauling ass or at the least holding my eyes tight shut.
In regards to Dino and Noah being contemporaries, isn’t that really scary that somebody would actually think that?
Wouldn’t you think that if indeed there were 20-foot high 7-ton people-eating Tyrannosaurus Rex wandering about that somebody, somewhere in the Bible would have at least mentioned them? I believe you would have read, “And it came to pass that Noah and the little lady had 10 youngun’s and this big ass lizard ate 4 of them. Praise the Lord!” “Is that thunder, Japheth? Japheth? Where's Japheth? Why is that Tyrannosaurus grinning?”

This must have been a Federal RICO action. If you were part of the group peaking in you got your butt kicked.

What does a pile of 50,000 dead men look like? The first to die would have already been stinky and all swole up by the time the first 1,000 looked in the ark.
