To all you creationists out there....?

Question

Does the word 'dinosaur' make you wake up at night in a cold sweat? Please explain to me cause i'd love to know how you deny the existence of these bloody great lizards that roamed the earth some 60 million years ago!

Answer 1

Listen man, I've already tried this tact. Let me summarize my findings, then you can compare them to yours:

1. Humans walked with the dinosaurs. Apparently the bones have been found age dated with each other. I then tried to get people to admit that Jesus had a dinosaur for a pet, but to their credit they wouldn't fall for that one.

2. The dinosaurs washed away in the flood. Apparently the asteroid strike theory isn't good enough. I also tried to find out why Moses didn't take 2 of each dinosaur on the ark...but no response on that one. Can you imagine a couple of rutting T-rexes running around on a wooden ship?

3. You will get hit with a bible (not literally of course).

Answer 2

No sweat! A thousand years is like a day to God, Psalm 90:4. The dinosaurs could have existed and died before God created man. Plus, dinosaurs could have lived in Biblical times. Read the description of a leviathan in Job 41.
Does no missing link between ape and man make evolutionists wake up in a cold sweat at night?

Answer 3

No. I have a stuffed purple Dino on my dresser. Never did deny God or dinosaurs. Still believe in creation and evolution with a few open ends always in progress.

In other words I don't accept evolution as the virgin queen of science. I accept evolution as a working theory produced by following scientific method. There is a difference between the discovery of truth and the effort to close a theory into a law.

You imagine all creationists having cold sweats about dinosaurs because, despite all the press, there is still a missing link. To close this gap evolutionary religionists go to bed at night and dream of finding life on another planet, as if this would cement their belief system.

Better yet they dream of intelligent life, that is visits from like minded alien beings; who hopefully won't land at a monastery to speak with some Christian brothers.

Answer 4

I don't know how you arrive at your conclusion but no Biblical Creationist I have read of ever deny the existence of dinosaurs. What we disagree with is the millions of years. Look, we all have the same facts, the same bones. We simply defer with the interpretations and conclusions drawn from the evidences. Dinosaurs is a term coined in 1842 by Richard Owen. Prior to that we call them dragons, monsters, or just creatures. There's no mystery here.

Answer 5

Genises Deals with the account of creation and it is noted that [text] "..and the earth WAS without form, and void" The word "was" in the Greek actually reads "became" so it suggests that the earth was at one time in distant history as we know it today i.e. renewed and we dont know how long it was from the time of creation to the time it was renewed, possible some millions of years so Dinosaurs most likely did roam the earth. So! what is the question again?

Answer 6

Time in God's view is not the same as mortal mans measure of time. He sees what we call an day as what we would call a thousand years. Therefore a day in our terms would be @ 1,000 yrs. or more to God. His view of time doesn't really make any measure of time in the same way mortal man has devised to measure the limits of endless time. God sees from the beginning to the end of eternity which has no end in fact. I hope that my attempt to explain our very limited mental capacity to measure time compared to God's Infinite Mind pales in comparison.


Psalms 90:4 - For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

Ecclesiastes 6:6 - Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?

2 Peter 3:8 - But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

Revelation 20:2 - And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

Revelation 20:3 - And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

Revelation 20:4 - And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Revelation 20:5 - But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

Revelation 20:6 - Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Revelation 20:7 - And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

Answer 7

The dinosaurs were real there was a previous creation before the genesis account that ended in judgement.these bones being found now were from that age the world that then was being overflowed pershed. everyone died with this flood but in noahs days 8 were saved,That what the rainbow stand for a promise that God would not kill every living being for their disobedience

Answer 8

More to the point, what will they believe in 4,000 year's time? Assuming they still haven't been wiped out by their lovely God (in the form of a huge devine meteor).

"Nope, the world is only 2,000 years old. These fossilized remains of humanoid skeletons were put there by the Almighty to test us, and were drowned in the Great Flood along with everything else. What do you think, Buck Rogers?"

Answer 9

I don't think Creationists deny the existence of dinosaurs. They just deny that they were extinct before man & deny the Earth is that old...They think Earth's only 6,000 or so years old & carbon-dating is false.

Answer 10

There is no denying them. The Bible mentions lizard-like creatures that he created during the creation. We just don't really know God's timeline. We don't know how long a day is to God.
