my daughter ask me this question which came first the dinsours r adam and eve?

Answer 1

When did God create dinosaurs, and when did they become extinct?

The Bible does not provide specific answers to this question. According to the Genesis account, animals were created during the fifth and sixth creative periods or ‘days.’ If the Hebrew expression translated “great sea monsters” [Hebrew, tan·ni·nim'] includes dinosaurs, which often inhabited swampy, watery areas, this would mean that dinosaurs were created on the fifth “day.” (Gen. 1:21) We do not know whether they continued to exist until man was created (toward the close of the sixth “day”). At the very latest it seems likely that they must have disappeared off the earth at the time of the flood of Noah’s day. Dinosaurs were reptiles, and some kinds of dinosaurs bear strong resemblance structurally and otherwise to lizards (sauros is, in fact, the Greek word for “lizard”; saura in Leviticus 11:29 . Not all types of dinosaurs were of such gigantic size. Hence, even if they had survived till the Flood, this would not have required taking pairs of the mammoth varieties into the ark. Other smaller members of the particular family or “kind” to which these belonged would have sufficed to fulfill the divine command.

While the radioactive dating method is innovative, it is still based on speculation and assumption. In contrast, the Bible account in the first chapter of Genesis simply states the general order of creation. It allows for possibly thousands of millions of years for the formation of the earth and many millenniums in six creative eras, or “days,” to prepare the earth for human habitation.

Some dinosaurs (and pterosaurs) may indeed have been created in the fifth era listed in Genesis, when the Bible says that God made “flying creatures” and “great sea monsters.” Perhaps other types of dinosaurs were created in the sixth epoch. The vast array of dinosaurs with their huge appetites would have been appropriate considering the abundant vegetation that evidently existed in their time.—Genesis 1:20-24.

When the dinosaurs had fulfilled their purpose, God ended their life. But the Bible is silent on how he did that or when. We can be sure that dinosaurs were created by Jehovah for a purpose, even if we do not fully understand that purpose at this time. They were no mistake, no product of evolution. That they suddenly appear in the fossil record unconnected to any fossil ancestors, and also disappear without leaving connecting fossil links, is evidence against the view that such animals gradually evolved over millions of years of time. Thus, the fossil record does not support the evolution theory. Instead, it harmonizes with the Bible’s view of creative acts of God.

When Did They Live?

Dinosaurs played a dominant role in life on earth during their age. But then they came to an end. The rock layers containing human fossils consistently occur above those layers containing dinosaur fossils. Because of this, scientists generally conclude that humans came on the earthly scene later.

In this regard the book Palaeontology, by James Scott, states: “Even the earliest species of Homo sapiens (man) lived long after the disappearance of the dinosaurs . . . After tilting (through earth movement) has been allowed for, rocks containing fossil men consistently occur above those preserving the bones of the great dinosaur reptiles and it follows that the latter belong to an earlier age than the human remains.”

Answer 2

I believe the dinosaurs came first, then became extinct before Adam and Eve were created. I think that the six days of creation lasted much longer than 24 hours each.

Answer 3

God created the world in 6 days. One day in God's time equals one thousand years of our time. There are seven seals. We have just entered the seventh seal. Which is the millennium that Christ will come again, (the second coming of Christ). Adam and Eve could have been here for millions of years, living in innocence, before they became mortal and per took of the forbidden fruit. The bible doesn't specify the amount of time that Adam and Eve spent in the garden of Eden. Animals were put here prior to Adam and Eve, according to the bible.

Answer 4

Dinosaurs. Remember, Adam and Eve were created on day 6.

Answer 5

Adam and Eve were first. Genisis 3:18, speaks about all that came from the ground which afflicted man.
Also in Genisis 4:13, Cain talks about whoever will find him to harm him.
I know that this is deep, but ask God for revelation.

Blessings

Answer 6

The Dinasaurs.
Adam & Eve came millions of years later.
There was a time before the Garden of Eden. The Bible doesn't say much about it, except to imply that the Earth is old, but we know that by the time you get to Adam and Eve, Lucifer has been thrown out of Heaven and is slithering about!

Answer 7

Adam and Eve never existed. Therefore, dinosaurs came first.

Answer 8

Adam & Eve

Answer 9

Adam And Eve is an aleogry, but my guess is that, they came first. Other wise, they would'have more reason to hide, than their nakedness and their n eed for so many fig leaves.

Answer 10

Wow, that is a good question.
Well, God made Adam and Eve and he also made the dinosaurs.
I would say he made the humans first then he worked his way to the animals.
My opinion. I could be wrong.
