How do Christians explain the Dinosaurs?

Question

And other animals that lived millions of years ago?

Answer 1

God created them plan and simple. The earth before the flood (which very major civilizations has a flood story and there is ecological evidence for a flood.) had a much different atmosphere then we do now and this allowed animals to grow much larger then they do now. so this can accommodate some fossils but still dinosaurs and humans coexisted. and there is proof. there is identifiable dinosaur footprints that were made with man's footprints next to and crossing the dinosaurs foot prints. the same evidence scientist use to disprove God proves Dinosaurs and man thought to be separated by 65 million years lived side by side. and yes i have seen these fossils they are real but evolutionist doesn't want the public to know about these footprints because it destroys everything they believe in. creation sings the wonderful Glory of God

Answer 2

Christians should confess that God created the universe, seen and unseen, by the power of His word alone, Christians should not feel compelled to believe that such an act took 6 literal 24 hour periods of time to complete OR that the act of creation, as recorded in Genesis 1:1-2:25 was the final, or only method or act of creation. Christians should feel free to understand the theory of evolution as a means by which God is still active in the process of creation. Further, Christians should feel free to understand that evolution is a process that has been demonstrated in and out of the laboratory setting with creatures of short generational spans.

Christians explain dinosaurs and other extinct animals the same way as every other right thinking individual.

The lived millions of years ago, and died. When they died their remains were slowly converted to minerals and fossilized.

Fundamentalist freakos on the other hand insist that the world is only 5000 years old and that God put the fossils in the earth in order to make it appear as if it was older. Fundamentalist freakos are apparently more comfortable with the idea that God is a bald faced liar than they are with the idea of scripture being interpreted in any way other than literally. I weep for them, as does God.

Answer 3

The earth is at least 3.8 billion years old. God created the dinosaurs and many other creatures that walked the earth and God also created the world with age. Dinosaurs existed during the first earth age along with the fallen angels whom walked upright and the nephilim. Scripture does not contradict itself only mans interpretation of it. God is the SCIENCE behind all creation. Mankind always assumes they have discovered something and assume it just happens on its own when what they are really uncovering is the true complex finger print of GOD almighty.

Answer 4

Some christians actually believe humans and dinosaurs co-existed. Click on the source for Dr. Dino. His website is a good laugh.

Answer 5

Dinosaurs where just over sized lizards , before the flood there was a extra layer in the atmospher that was water and some how it made things live long and sence lizards never stop growing they just got bigger n bigger

Answer 6

Why do Christians have to explain dinosaurs? What do we look like, the fountain of all information? How do YOU explain the dinosaurs??

Answer 7

They don't, they are all in denial...I don't know...I've heard it explained to me before by someone who doesn't believe in Evolution and he said that the dinosaurs' time period was a "trial run" by God.

Answer 8

It says in the scriptures that God took materials from other worlds to help create ours....therefore, just because we dig up dino bones...doesn't mean they actually walked this planet. Just building material, maybe?

Answer 9

God put all those fossils and bones in the ground to trick us into thinking the earth is much older.
