How long ago were dinosaurs flourishing? Were people around back then?

Answer 1

Before the flood the earth was protected by a vapor canopy [see Genesis 1:7]. This was created as a protective covering from the UV rays of the sun. As a result of this the earth provided us with a higher barometric pressure which enabled the vegetation to provide nutrition at a much greater benefit than we have today in our fallen world. In Genesis 6:4 we are told that there were giants upon the earth and several places we are told that longivity of life was a norm. Reptiles are still known by science to grow right up to the point of death. If you combine the reality of the atmospheric conditions with the lack of UV bombardment to the degree that exists today it is easy to understand the how and why of the dinosaurs predeluge existence and their demise since. The word says that the windows of heaven were opened and the flood totally covered the earth. The Hole in the ozone layer is the evidence we have today of the place where the vapor canopy poured down to the earths surface and the ensuing years since then we have felt the resulting consequence of less years of existence for man and animal alike and the failure of vegetation to give us the nutritional value that it was intended.

Answer 2

Heres`s a serious answer that doesn't limit the data to the date of their extinction, and which doesn't sprout nonsense.

The first dinosaur fossils are from 230 million years ago, and the last are from around 65 million years ago. There were no people around then. Mammals existed at the same time as the dinosaurs, but they were very small shrew sized creatures.

Primates (the "family" of which we are a member) are only a few million years old, and its way less than a million years ago that a creature recognizable as a man came along.

Answer 3

My belief is that the dinosaurs (aka dragons) were flourishing for about 2,000 to 5,000 years or so and then the flood came and wiped most of them out. The rest were slowly killed off over time by various warriors. A scattered few still remain today (Loch Ness Monster, Lake Champlaign Monster, etc).

Answer 4

First consider some scientific estimates or guesses. Not all scientists are going to agree. The Universe or heavens 20 billion years old. The Earth 4.6 billion years old. The Moon 200 to 300 million years younger than the Earth. Dinosaur extinction 65 million years ago. The Ice Age 2.5 million years ago. Oldest evidence of flesh man 7000 to 14000 years old.

Not sure how long they existed.

But yes there were people around but not in flesh bodies.

There are 3 earth ages (II Pet.3:5-7), same earth but different ages. We are now in the 2nd earth age. Between Gen.1:1 and Gen.1:2 is a vast amount of time, if time existed. Between these 2 verses is Satan’s rebellion (Rev.12:3-4) and “his tail” drew 1/3 of God’s children. Between these 2 verses also belongs all fossils and remains, such as Dinosaurs.

In Gen.1:2 we have the of the end of the 1st earth age and the beginning of the 2nd. For clarity Gen.1:2 needs to be divided (see below).

(A) Gen.1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.

(B) Gen.1:2 And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

In (A) Gen.1:2 the first occurrence of the word “was” has been corrupted and is “became”. It reads “And the earth became without form, and void”. The end of the 1st earth age.

In (B) Gen.1:2 we have the beginning of 2nd earth age, the one we live in now. Man did not exist in flesh till this earth age.

Between (A & B) Gen.1:2 is also a vast amount of time, if time existed. Between (A & B) Gen.1:2 is; a global flood (not Noah’s which was a local flood), the destruction of Atlantis, the breakup of Gondwana Land, and the Ice Age.

Time means nothing to our Father. He is very patient and loves His children. Instead of destroying Satan and 1/3 of His children, He destroyed that first earth age. Now in this 2nd earth age we all are born innocent in the flesh. Father came in the flesh Himself, Jesus Christ, and paid the price for all. Father defeated Satin, that is death, legally. So now His children have a decision, to choose life or to choose death. It’s your decision. Choose life!!

Answer 5

The amount of vegetation it took to feed these large animals...where would man fit into this scheme of life?

Answer 6

65 million years
no people about then

Answer 7

65 million years ago - no humans. humans - 3million years ago was their first appearance.

Answer 8

Depends on what life there you want to belive in.

Answer 9

didnt you listen in science class? tsk tsk. should have taken better notes :P
