~ Is there a disagreement between Creationists?

Question

Was archaeic evidence of dinosaurs placed here by God to confuse us, to test our faith?

Or is carbon-dating wrong? Which one of these do you believe?

Answer 1

I am not a Creationist, but I have heard both of these arguments from Creationists.

Answer 2

Some people think Job 41:1, NIV, is talking about dinosaurs. "Can you pull in the leviathan with a fishhook or tie down his tongue with a rope?” Or Job 40:15, “Look at the behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox.“ There are many other verses in the Bible about dragons that are considered references about dinosaurs, as well. Most Bible scholars suggest that the descriptions in Job are of crocodiles or of hippopotamus. Both lived in the Near East in those days. It is tempting to think that dragons are a faded memory of dinosaurs, but we cannot be sure. We can only speculate.

In Genesis 6:12 we find the answer. “And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.” Satan, the being who rebelled against God, cannot create, but he can change. The entrance of sin into the world allowed Satan to corrupt humans and other living creatures. Now we have leaves changed to thorns, teeth changed to poison fangs, genes changed into viruses and useful bacteria into disease producers. Satan corrupted some of the reptiles God originally created into the bizarre creatures we call dinosaurs. God chose not to save them at the time of the Flood. Perhaps God also saw that feeble post-flood humans would not be able to control such large animals. Thus, we suggest that God preserved the air-breathing, land animals, except the very large animals and the corrupted ones.

Carbon dating is wrong and it has so many different procedures and ways to perform it that they can't even agree with each other.

Answer 3

Personally, I don't understand why christians don't believe in evolution. I'm christian and I know it exists, we have solid proof. Evolution does not disprove God, its part of His divine plan. As humans migrated toward colder regions, our hair, skin and eyes lightening because we no longer needed so much pigmentation to protect us from the sun, that's evolution. Every generation is taller and supposedly smarter, that's evolution. There were dinosaurs here before man, we have bones to prove it, and the bible stating that the creatures were created first, so what's the big deal? Science and God go hand in hand.

Now, that whole ape to man thing is simply a theory, not fact, they have found absolutely no evidence to support it, so it really doesn't belong in a evolution discussion where facts are involved.

Answer 4

Well we do know, FOR A FACT, that the FSM used his noodly appendage to interfere with scientific findings, so I suppose the other guy could have too. If he existed. Snort.

And oh for crying out loud I've just read Damian's answer. Too hilarious for words.

By the way, Grammar Police here, don't you think "among" would be better than "between"? I mean there are more than two of them. And no I am not being picky.

Answer 5

Please read my answer to your last question. There obviously are disagreements between Creationists. Archaic evidence of dinosaurs was not placed here by God to confuse us or to test our faith. Carbon-dating may not be wrong.

Answer 6

Neither.

I think Dinosaurs really wlaked the earth, and Carbon dating only goes back so far. Neither point negates creation.

Answer 7

carbon dating is in error. salt water ages every thing on how long it was soaked
