what came first? Adam & eve or the dinosaurs?

Question

if its adam and eve then when did the dinosaurs came? after noah ark? after cane & abel?

Answer 1

Ok...no one ever said that every word in the bible has an exact meaning and is perfectly relevant to today. It is said that God created everything in 7 days. Well, millions and billions of years ago, what was a day?

Today, we know a day as 24 hours. An hour is six minutes. A minute is 60 seconds. I'm sure God didn't create Rolex's for Adam and Eve to wear and keep track of time.

anyways, when reference was made to "a day", it could have been several million years or more. So, it is possible that God created the Heaves and the Earth in 7 days and that both dinosaurs and Adam and Eve existed.

Science has proved dinosaurs existed before humans. The bible says animals existed before humans.

There...that was your answer.

Thanks.

Answer 2

There are more than one answer among christians to this question. * Some will say reffering to Genesis chapter 1 that Adam and Eve were created at the end of the creation and therefore after all the animals (which include the dinosaurs). * Others looking at Genesis chapter 2, starting at verse 4, will say that God created Adam, then planted the garden of Eden, and last by verse 19 God created the animals. However, this may just refer creation of the animals that shared the area of Eden with adam and not all the animals that God created before creating Adam & Eve at the sixth day of creation (Genesis 1). * Still other christians see a gap in time between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2.: *** Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." *** Genesis1:2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. The gap comes from the thought God did not created things in caotic state described as: formless, empty, and in darkness. Christians (some at least) think that a cataclism destroyed the creation that was made in Genesis 1:1 and the rest of the chapter presents God reorganizing / re-creating the world as we now know it. Dinosaurs would be part of that creation of Genesis 1:1 and were extinct before Genesis 1:2. what destroyed the first creation? Maybe they were casualties of the war to expell from heavens Satan and those fallen angels who decided to follow him.

Answer 3

Dinosaus of course. God said in Genesis he made animals on day 5, and man on day 6. Noah took Dinasaus on the ark years and years later but he took the young ones. After the flood, peaple and animals didn't live as long, (see, reptiles don't stop growing in their life- so if a dinasour lived for 1,000 years he grew very very big. ) Now our dinasarus are the crocodiles, aligator, turtle, lizards- things like that. I don't think Noah took every breed of dinasour. Even if he did, I think the dragons were killed off in the medevial times. Oh, cane and able were Adam and Eve's sons. It would help to get a bible. Any more questions?

Answer 4

You little devil, you! The dinosaurs came before the people. Adam and Eve were the first human beings, their first sons (they had more) were Cain and Abel. Many generations later, Noah and his family were spared the flood and so on. You would really enjoy reading the book of Genesis...

Answer 5

Dinosaurs. please don't make me go any further into it


Dammit.

Dinosaurs came first because reptiles ruled the earth before mammals. The reptiles were very large and very vicious, while most of the mammals were just like little shrews of today and lived underground to avoid the dominant reptiles. Humans did not exist at that time, because of the reasons I just said. They came later, after a huge meteor wiped out all of the dinosaurs, allowing the mammals to take over. On another note, humans came to evolve millions of years later. They didn't just pop out of nowhere.


Also I can't believe some of the answers I'm seeing on here. You all make me sad.

Answer 6

Adam & eve came on the earth to enjoy the fruits of life. But not in the presence of dinosaurs!!!!!!!!

Answer 7

According to Genesis, the dinosaurs showed up on Tuesday at about tea time. Eve had them confined to a small area of Eden - because of their messy ways.

Answer 8

dinosaurs were created, along with all of the other land animals, on the 6th day before Adam & Eve

Answer 9

Adam and Eve are a myth, or folklore, the dinosaurs are real. You can not put a time frame on a myth.

Answer 10

Adam and Eve evolved into dinosaurs and then evolved back into humans.
