Answer 1

if your not mistaken how can you get it right when scientists have changed that time line three times already

Answer 2

There is a fossilized dinosaur trail going through, I believe Texas. The odd thing about it is that the dinosaur was apparently being tracked by people, barefooted bipedal with identical feet to those of modern humans. Most (The word for those that study dinosaurs escapes me at the moment) believed that ancient humans came across the fossilized trail and simply followed it. It ended abruptly at a fault line. The predicted that when they dug down to that level, there would be no signs of humans. They dug down far below the layer that was the surface when humans were supposed to have existed, and found the prints still following the dinosaurs. There was no way for that to have happened unless they were formed at the same time, man and dinosaur living side by side.

There is also the matter of the Chinese cave drawing depicting dinosaurs, not oriental dragons but triceratops, being hunted with spears, the Native American legend of the thunder birds, featherless birds large enough to carry off children, and the various possible dinosaurs that many believe in, Nessie and Champ to name a couple.

Answer 3

I dont think anybody knows the whole answer. But it is my belief that Dinosaurs were created AFER man was. The Dinosaurs weren't hostile then, because no animal or human being was untill after Adam and Eve ate from the apple.

Answer 4

in Peru (one of the 5 oldest geological plates in the world) homo sapien femurs and other bones and tools were found in the same stratum as dinosaur bones. That puts humans alongside dinosaurs. Plus as others have said, not only do cave drawings in various parts of the world show dinosaurs, but also some statues in the middle east and small ancient stones and fiqurines from Mexico and south america show dinosaurs.

Besides the garden of Eden is often thought to be watered down versions of Babylonian and Sumerian legends of the island of Dilmun, which is the modern island of Bahrain in the middle east.

Answer 5

The Bible does not say anything about dinosaurs. The Bible does say that the earth was created in 7 days. There are serveral ways to interpret this. One is to say that the seven days were a literal 7 days, which would disavow the existance of dinosaurs. Another way to interpret this is to say that the seven days are not a literal 7 days. By this the seven days could include many years. We know that God is eternal, meaning that time does not matter to Him.

Answer 6

God created the heavens and the earth and everything on it before he created man (in his own image). It seems, according to the writer of Genesis (the first book of the Bible), that God eventually wanted more and created man. It does say that most of this took seven days, but a day for God (an eternal being) might be a little longer.

Answer 7

In Genesis 1, Day 5 has fish and birds. Day 6 has land animals and humans. Only God knows the true time line on when he created everything. Only God knows how long a day lasted during Creation. All we can do is speculate, and be thankful.

Answer 8

I was curious about that for a while and the conclusion that I came to was not so much to be concerned about when the existed and does the Bible refer to it. The main thing I get when I think about dinosaurs is the fact that they went extinct. This shows me, which other science classes do to, that the world won't last forever. The good news is, is that until that time comes, we can still live a good life with Jesus Christ! When you search for Him with all of your heart, he will show you Himself. My life has been so much better since I got with Him. Truly beautiful. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Answer 9

Christians tell me God created dinosaurs for humans to use fossile fuels.

lol, one day all the monothesitc religions will except science.
and except the fact we are all a bunch of atoms and molecules

it took over 1000 yrs to overthrow the Polytheism theory

Answer 10

I just answered this question for one of my World Religions students last week. It basically comes down to the difference between literal inerrancy and metaphors. In normal English, this means, do you read the Bible/Torah as the absolute truth or as a story meant to help you learn? If you read the Bible/Torah as an absolute truth, then the only answer is the one a minister once gave me: "It's not meant for us to know."
If you read the Bible/Torah as a guideline, then you can see scientific evidence as support for the biblical metaphor.
As far as proof of dinosaurs before humans: that is called geology. Think of having to clean your room: if you have things piled in the bottom of your closet that you used 1) last week 2) yesterday and 3) last month, then they are going to be in a certain order (the technical term for this is stratigraphy). The stuff that was put there 2) yesterday is going to be on top of the things that was put there 1) last week and both 2 & 1 will be on top of 3) last month's stuff.
With dinosaurs, they are part way down a collection of layers with a huge number of layers separating them from the layers of humans.

Answer 11

actuslly it can be proven that people were here when the dinosaurs roamed the earth. It you actually want to know the answer to this question buy the book called "the Geensis record" by henry M. Morris
