if god created all in 7 days, how come millions of years seperated us and the dinosaurs?

Answer 1

Nobody knows exactly how much time those 7 days are actually supposed to represent....and Heather...there is scientific evidence proving your wrong

Answer 2

There is, in fact, a 60 million year gap inbetween the earliest fossil evidence of human ancestors, and the dinoaurs. There has been no evidence of either being amongst the other. Any such "evidence" turned out to be a fraud. Christians love to say that, "Human and dinosaur footprints have been found together in the Glen Rose formation at Paluxy River, Texas." This, however, is incorrect. The footprints reputed to be of human origin are not. I will cite the sources to prove this.

The footprints reputed to be of human origin are not. For example:
Some of the footprints are dinosaur footprints. Processes such as erosion, infilling, and mud collapse obscure the dinosaurian features of some footprints, making them look like giant human footprints, but careful cleaning reveals the three-toed tracks of dinosaurs (Hastings 1987; Kuban 1989).
Some of the reputed prints are erosional features or other irregularities. They show no clear human features without selective highlighting.
Some of the prints show evidence of deliberate alteration (Godfrey 1985).


In response to this, however, the religious have made the claim that, 1 day to god could be any amount of time to us.

Yes, it is just one more baseless claim to add to the growing list of stupidest ideas.

Answer 3

I just love some of these laughable Christian excuses. Time is not constant, a day is not a day, the Earth is only 6000 years old blah blah blah. The Christian delusion is so strong they will make up anything to excuse the nonsense in the Bible.

It is quite clear in Genesis that God set up night and day and it is described exactly how our night and day is. If the Earth did not rotate as it does now (days would be longer) then the dark side would not have been able to grow plants or support life. Are we really trying to claim now that the Earth rotated more slowly and that days were thousands of years long?

Seriously, I understand that God is supposed to exist outside of time, which is really a necessity for a perfect and infinite being. But to start making up such nonsense to mask Biblical inconsistency is just ridiculous. The Bible is supposed to be the perfect word of God, so why so many inconsistencies, inaccuracies, mistakes, contradictions and lack of clarity?

Answer 4

There is a different time dispensation.
God created the Heavens and the Earth.(period)
And the Earth (became) without form, and void;.....

The second earth age, which is now, is the seven day creation.
The dinosaurs were in the first earth age.
One day with the Lord is as 1000 year with men.

2 Peter 3:5-8

Answer 5

Interesting enough that ppl trying to abuse 7 days and say those were different days for GOD concidering time ( like some apolists saying each day was 7000 years or so)
So pathetic because GOD create Adam on 4th day. And adam lived to 930 years according to thier own lovely source of lies. So no way GOD's days were any different than ours. But it should not suprise any since Christian math is 1+1+1=1 . Same thing. 7 days equal what ever number they like.
Therefore GOD and his union did not allow him to work more than 7 days.

To smart person above me Rev T L Clark
who manage to say go read the Job. WOuld be nice if he readed him self. Thanks we don't need his interpretation of his own or his pastor imagination.
In Jobs it says Giants and has nothing to do with Animals. It was reffering to humans .

Therefore BIble exist and Christians don't read it.

Answer 6

This is where the bible cannot be taken literally. When God said "Let there be light," it could be symbollic for the big bang. The bible says God created Adam. Well, Adam could be symbollic for a bunch of cavemen. And Eve could be symbollic for a bunch of cavewomen. Any Christian who thinks we are all desendants of only one man and one woman needs to think about being cousins with their lover. Its just not right. Anyway, since the only logical explanation for the bible's facts is symbollism, then the dinosaurs could have been symbollized somehow in the bible.

Answer 7

There are passages in the Bible (you really have to read to find them) that could lead one to believe that there was a former Earth here, but not an Earth as we know it. Rather, it was the place that Lucifer ruled once thrown out of Heaven. The Bible often connects Lucifer with dragons, serpents, and even the Leviathan, so it is a good possibility that is where dinosaurs came from.

Answer 8

The illusion of time is a human construct designed as a tool of measurement. God does not run by our human estimation of time. A day, in the case of creationism, does not necessarily mean the same as our 24 hours. A day to God can be the blink of an eye to us, or a billion years. God and time are infinite, eternal.

Answer 9

Does that much time really seperate us from the dinosaurs??? What if I told you that you can find descriptions of dinosaurs in the Bible??? Go read Job 41 for one example. Then email me and we will explore others.

Answer 10

Its 6 days, and the millions of years is speculation. The oldest known artifact is about 5500 years old. Anything with a date older is based on information derived from assumptions. I know that curls some toenails, but we have to draw definite lines between what we know for sure and what we are guessing at. I don't mind speculation as long as we label it correctly.

Answer 11

Because Millions of years to us is not millions of years to God. They are speaking in a day to God. Not Our days.
