There was no man before God, right? If that is so how were there dinosaurs and so called cave men Created B.C.

Question

The bible states that there was no man before God but if that is the case truly and seriuosly how where there dinosaurs and who created them if God didnt? Is the bible full of crap or truly just one mans account of what happened. I am a firm believer of God but Family Fued brought that to my attention yesterday. So I am just kind of curious.

Okay out of curiosity since that questions was so easily answered and mostly with ignorance, where did GOD come from. I am catholic so I do believe in him but seriously how did he come about. I am curious because now my daughter has asked me and I dont know what to say, because I honestly dont know.

Answer 1

1 in my opinion the bible is "full of crap" (i don't believe in any gods)

2 Jesus isn't god, god was there way before Christ (according to the bible) so therefor god created the world (in 7 days) and also dinosaurs and cave men.

Answer 2

Ok. The Bible is over 10,000 years old if you think about it. Christ was born between 0 and 3 AD, before that 400 years were missing, out of the Christian Bible but in the Torah that is where we find the Maccabees's and the rest of what the Christians call the Aprocrypha. And so on and so on...Take a look in Genisis, chapter 1, created everything. When God creates, it is spoken into existance. Now in chapter 2 God forms. That means he reshaped. So, when God was creating and forming the world and man this was bound to take some time, and God's time is different from our time. So, 1 year to God could be 10,000 years, so he may have had alot of time on his hands to where he could plan out existance. God did create the dinosaurs back in the first book of Genisis, but this was recorded by Moses, which he didnt get it until God told him until several thousand years later. Adam and Eve had to populate the world so it was gonna take some time.

Answer 3

it sounds like you've got things confused a little but,
BC means before Christ right?( not before God. )There was nothing before God, he created dinosaurs and cave men and everything else. now as far as Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden, I don't really know... hmm...they weren't cave people to our knowledge. maybe cave people evolved into Adam and Eve although this would make no sense if God created them from clay. or whatever...
There are a lot of things still that I wonder about also except
creation. but Yes the bible is an account of One man's life.and the others in HISTORY that were present when He lived.( the son of God) and he was trying to tell us what his Father relayed to him, through him and history played out and he was crucified.

Answer 4

Actually, the Bible that I read shows that God created Adam. Man, as in mankind is a different word in Hebrew.

Genesis 1, and Genesis 2 says that God created Adam. The Bible also states that God breathed life into Adam.

If you look at a concordance, I think you will find that what I said is right.

Answer 5

Nothing came before God. God didn't just poof into existence one day. Cave men, dinasaurs, early human, whatever...all came from God. He created the world and everything in it. Who knows how or when it was done. People will spend their entire life trying to prove one side over the other. Does it really matter? As long as you know that God is the originator of all things, that is good enough.

Answer 6

B.C. just means Before Christ. That has nothing do with how long God has been here. The Bible says that God is without beginning and without end. There is mention of dinosaurs in the Bible, (Leviathan in the book of Job ) although I believe that they existed with man before the Great Flood.

The Bible is the inspired word of God given to holy men whom He trusted to write it down, so to say that it's one man's account is inaccuate.

Answer 7

Lot lived in a cave and he was there 2083 after Adam, David lived in caves and so did some prophets.

The creative days are ages in a period of time, the earth has enough fuel to have lasted us 6,072 after Eden, we will be 7,000 years in day seven, and 7130 years after Eden when all is made perfect again.

Animals have had 13,870 years, I think that is plenty of time for God to have produced the dinosaurs, the earth and all was billions in time before earth was a focus for habitation, the angels existed, so did Jesus say he was with God before the world was.

Answer 8

First of all, since it is God who created man, God preceded his own creation.

Secondly, the bible does not list the various creatures that God created in the beginning. Just that there were at least two of each kind(male and female) for the purpose of pro-creation. So that leaves room for any creatures that we "have" and "will" discover in the future.

Answer 9

The Bible is not "one man's account'. It is a compilation of multiple myths and legends and many different people wrote parts of it, and it has been translated and re-translated, sometimes by people who wanted to publish their own slanted version of the stories. Ultimately, it was an attempt to explain history and nature by people who had little knowledge or understanding of either. The creation story in the Bible is very similar to many other "creation myths" in the culture of other religions and civilizations. Since there were no "men" in the time of dinosaurs, those creatures did not appear in these very early stories of creation. The men who formulated the stories had no knowledge of dinosaurs.

I wonder the same thing I was just talking about this over the weekend. I'll have to keep tabs on this question I think the answers ought to be interesting.
