Does God create new life as He sees fit?

Question

I'm still trying to sort this one out. Example, every person on Earth pretty much agrees that dinosaurs preexisted humans by 65 million years, give or take. Now, once the dinosaurs went extinct (assuming God created them first), then did God create humans, and the other mammals?

I only want your personal opinion. I don't want:

1. Bible verses (yuck)
2. Web links (I know how to google, thank you)

Basically, I want to know what your opinion is on the little saying: it's raining cats and dogs.

Because according to Creationism (along with the established science) it seems that God needs to drop new animals from the sky every so often!!

I should have said "nearly every person". Some of you are picking on me for semantics, but that does not effect the question in the least, so don't be offended on that little bit. Maybe that is the problem: some people focus on such a small thing, they ignore the big picture.

And for the record, I'm not being facetious (sp?) with this question. Since I don't believe in Creationism, I am hoping you can add something that makes sense and isn't in contradiction with established science!

Answer 1

i confess, i'm not answering your question.

i just really like that your pic is upside down. it makes me laugh. :-)

Answer 2

Actually, you premise your question on a faulty assumption. No, not every agrees that dinosaurs existed 85 million years ago, and there is plenty of evidence to refute this. There are also eye witness accounts of individuals in remote areas seeing dinosaurs. Of course they are not the huge monsters we come to think of but smaller versions. I also have in my possession a photo of a plesiosaur that washed up on shore in 1925, here is the news story:

THE SEA MONSTER OF SANTA CRUZ
This apparent Plesiosaur washed up on Moore's Beach (now Natural Bridges State Beach) in Monterey Bay, California in 1925. The neck was described as being about 20 feet long. Some scientists postulated that it was an extremely rare type of beaked whale, while others believed it to be a variety of plesiosaur. After thoroughly examining the carcass, the renowned naturalist E. L. Wallace concluded that the creature could not be a whale and might be a plesiosaur that had been preserved and subsequently melted out of glacial ice. The story is given in Randall Reinsted’s 1975 book Shipwrecks and Sea Monsters. It is also prominently featured in Skin Diver magazine of November, 1989 which discusses the Monterey Submarine Canyon. This mysterious underwater trench extends many miles into the Pacific and is one of the least studied ocean chasms.

So there is plenty of evidence that dinosaurs were relatively recent creations, along with the other animals. Man was created on the 6th day, separate from the animals. As to you other question, it is too silly to answer.

Answer 3

You begin with an incorrect premise. Every person on earth certainly does NOT agree that dinosaurs preexisted humans at all.

Many Creationists agree that dinosaurs lived at the same time as man.

Since Death entered the world through Man's sin, then nothing could have died (including dinosaurs) before Adam sinned.

These same (educated) Christians know that dinosaurs existed. All creatures were created within the same six days (NOT millions of years). Therefore, dinosaurs must have existed WITH humans.

You've also assumed that dinosaurs became extinct. There's plenty of evidence that all of them haven't.

I really beleive there was some co-existing going on in the dinosaur era.Thought you might like the {Turned Upside Down} reference...
Sorry,but I had to show these references why I think this::::::::::




Dinosaur Extinction: The Premise
Dinosaur extinction -- Most scientists believe that dinosaurs went extinct about 50 to 65 million years ago. Most scientists agree that man’s conception of dinosaurs has been limited to the past 180 years or so (the word itself wasn’t even coined until 1841). Therefore, if we discovered evidence of man’s knowledge of (or coexistence with) dinosaurs during the last couple of centuries, “science” (as we know it) would be turned upside down.

Dinosaur Extinction: The Evidence

1. Human & Dinosaur Fossils. Human bones and tools coexist in the same fossil layers as dinosaur bones in Texas and the Dakotas.
2. Human & Dinosaur Footprints. Footprints of dinosaurs, humans and other mammals coexist in the same fossil layers in Texas and New Mexico.
3. Native American Petroglyphs. Cave and cliff drawings in Utah and Colorado crudely depict certain dinosaur species (dated from 400 A.D. to 1300 A.D.).
4. Ica Stones. Ceremonial burial stones discovered in Ica, Peru depict numerous species of dinosaurs, some in activities with man (dated from 500 A.D. to 1500 A.D.).
5. Acambaro Figurines. Ceramic and stone figurines discovered in Acambaro, Mexico represent many species of dinosaurs (dated from 800 B.C. to 200 A.D.).
6. Dragon Accounts. China, Europe and the Middle East share similar accounts of “dragons” and other beasts. Some cultures revered these creatures. For instance, records of Marco Polo in China show that the royal house kept dragons for ceremonies. In other cultures, it was a great honor to kill these beasts. There are numerous records of warriors killing great beasts in order to establish credibility in a village.
7. Behemoth, Leviathan and the Dragons of the Bible. Job writes of great creatures, Behemoth and Leviathan, nearly 4000 years ago. Although more recent Bible translations use elephant, hippo or crocodile instead, the original Hebrew does not allow for these interpretations. The word “dragon” (Hebrew: tannin) is used numerous times in the Old Testament, and most directly translates as “sea or land monsters.”
8. Gilgamesh, Fafnir, Beowulf and other Legends. Many famous legends, including the mythology of Egypt, Greece and Rome, include specific descriptions of dragons and other dinosaur-like creatures.
9. Dragons in Ancient Art. Dinosaur-like creatures are featured on Babylonian landmarks, Roman mosaics, Egyptian burial shrouds, and many other pieces of art throughout the ancient world.

Answer 5

God talked the Animals into existence
Then he Hand-Made Man and Woman
as far as creating more animals
you will not believe all the animals that have not been discovered yet.

Answer 6

God knows past present and future and knew you would be born before the creation of the earth.
