If God created the Earth, Why did he create the Dinosausers?

Question

This is question I been meaning to ask a pastor or someone that might know.

Answer 1

For fuel for your SUVs.

Answer 2

Yes, I totally believe God made dinosaurs. In the bible in Job it talk about a creature that might be talking about a dinosaur. Nevertheless I believe God created them. Even if he didn't mention dinosaurs that would mean he didn't make them. He didn't mention other animals that we know that live today. Just because he doesn't mention dinosaurs doesn't mean he didn't create them.

One of the theories my teacher has is that the lizards and reptiles we know today might be the same back then. Because back then there was a layer around the earth that protected in from too much sun. So the lizards/reptiles had more food and lived longer, and the longer they have time to grow and the right foods they grow bigger. But after the flood when the protection was broken they didn't have as much time to grow to as big as they could have been. But this is only a wild theory, and it might not be true.

I believe God made Dinosaurs! Who could deny it? We can see the skeletons in museums!

Answer 3

I've wondered the same thing myself. If you believe in God, then the dinosaurs had to fit in somewhere. I have a few theories, some are not very serious at all, so don't get all bent out of shape:
Practice.
He used preexisting matter that happened to include pieces from a former creation that included the bones of dinosaurs.
They were put here to die and develop into the fossil fuels that basically run the world as it is (i.e. He knew we were going to use them as fuel when he created them).
The dinosaurs were His first try, but they didn't work out that well, so He redid it with something that looked a little more like Him.
But the biggest and most correct answer is, I don't have the foggiest idea, and I don't think anyone else does either. We don't need to know to be saved, so we don't get to know right now.

Answer 4

God created the dinosaurs. It's because that God created the dinosaurs out of practically nothing at all. The fossil records as mentioned in Biblical standards which is that those fossil records could be well over 3,000 years old, believe it or not!

Answer 5

Of course god created the dinosaurs! Doesn't the bible teach in Genesis that he created all the animals? This can be said for prehistoric man as well.

Answer 6

Because He wanted to.
Perhaps He was experimenting.
Maybe He let some of the angels experiment.
Maybe to put oil here for us at a latter time.
Maybe He was testing the laws of survival.
Maybe to cause science and faith to collide.
Maybe to see if you would believe the Bible or what science had to say.
Maybe to see if you would believe the Bible mathematicians or what you see.
Maybe to see what the religious people would say.

Answer 7

Dinosaurs existed for millions of years. Now, where do you think we get our oil from? That's right, from the carcasses of the dinosaurs. In God's wisdom, he created them so when they died, their bodies will be compressed and heated and whatever else is done to turn them into oil. All this for the preparation of mankind to utilize.
Otherwise, dinosaurs had no other purpose for their existence.

Answer 8

I would say that dinosaurs were created to give people something to contemplate, to wonder about and research. Just like our studies of outer space, dinosaurs provide a challenge and test of using our mind.

Answer 9

He created them because He wanted to. They died from the climate change after the flood.

Answer 10

Quite simple...... he created the earth and everything in it. Dinosaurs too

Answer 11

He didn't create the earth. Nuff said.
