Do you think the Dinosaurs were killed in the flood?

Question

Because if you really think about it, if they are still here today all the big dino's T-Rex, the Brontosaurus, the raptors and many others could kill us. We have our housing developments and cities but its like the "Godzilla" could come and demolish everything. If they did live today, we couldn't live and develop like we are doing now if we were busy trying to survive and dodge them so they don't eat us! You think God saved our butts and had them destroyed so they dont destroy us?

Answer 1

I think they were killed in the flood, but have you ever read (I think) in Job about the leviathan? Sounds so much like a brontesaurus or dipladucas doesn't it? People try to say it's a croc, but it's nothing like a crocodile. Also Psalms 74 says He lopped off the heads (plural) of leviathan, and made mincemeat of the dragon. I'm not trying to make people believe anything, it's just one of the things I wonder.

Answer 2

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 3

I believe it is widely accepted in today's scientific community that the dinosaurs were killed off when a 1 or 2 mile-wide meteor struck the region of the Earth known now as the Gulf of Mexico. The blast created a great shockwave and showers of fire and dust which engulfed the Earth in a blanket of darkness for some time.

Answer 4

My faith is The Christian Faith... But, there is ample Scientific evidence that the extinction of the earliers lifeforms was very likely the result of climate change. Maybe... due to an asteroid( a reeeealy big one) hitting the earth. Dose God control such events. He shure can if he wants to. I do'nt know if he did in the dinosaurs... but I am sure he will instruct me on this one day... till then I personaly dont worry about it. Let the scientific ones deal with it.

All science is from God. it is man mis-useing science that causes all the trouble.

Answer 5

God destroyed the dinosaurs in the great flood to provide fossil fuel for us today. We are fulfilling prophecy when we are able to transport ourselves so quickly on this planet , also the Bible indicates that in the last days information will travel quickly also .Cars computers and communication devices are mostly composed of fossil fuel by-products. God destroyed the dinosaurs with the flood so prophecy could be fulfilled and He would be recognized by us as sovereign . Think about it

Answer 6

No. Noah's flood is a story whereas dinosaurs actually existed. Think about it...Why would your god make some angry killer dinosaurs just to kill them off again? Also your god is supposed to be all powerful so he wouldnt need water he could just erase them couldnt he? actually probably not. You may want to look up the ages of fossils and dinosaur remains, as they actually roamed the earth way before the bible claims god made it.

Answer 7

The dinosaurs will killed by climatic changes due to a giant meteor hitting in the Yucatan. There was probably some flooding involved, some ice, some lava, some concussion...a virtual cornucopia of death. They had also become too big which meant it was hard for them to adapt/evolve.
There are predators today which eat people. Lions, tigers, bears, sharks, wolves. I don't live in fear of any of them.

Answer 8

Oh, certainly yes. I believe that God commanded Noah to build an ark and fill it with every kind of animal because he was going to send a flood to destroy all those unbelieving, sinful dinosaurs.

Answer 9

Yes, they wouldn't fit on the ark. The unicorns overslept that morning and missed the boat. The Yetis forgot their tickets and Noah wouldn't let the dragons on board (to his credit, fire-breathing dragons and wooden ships are not a good mix).

I'm still trying to figure out what happend to the mermaids, couldn;t they just stay in the water the whole time?

Answer 10

From a scientific standpoint, we know that the "great flood" of the bible simply didn't happen.

And what kind of god do you believe in that would destroy a completely innocent species that he created simply to create another species (one, I'd like to point out, that is destructive to the earth he created)?
