If God created man on the 6th day, when did dinosaurs rule the planet?

Answer 1

Noon til 4pm on the 5th. Or, you know, the most logical explaination that theists have, which is never. The devil made fossils and buried them in the ground to fool people.

Ow... I think typing that gave me a minor stroke.

Answer 2

Fun question!

If you look at the books of Job, Psalm, and Isaiah in the Bible, they all reference Leviathan/Behemoth, or a dinosaur (called that only since 1841). I am of the belief there weren't millions of them, perhaps only thousands, and that they co-existed with humans. Hey, maybe that's how the Egyptians got the pyramids up?!

Seriously though, I'm not sure what happened to them, but I think a few might still exist in places with low human populations. I went to Scotland and saw Loch Ness, and you could really see how something like a dinosaur could exist there.

When I was younger in elementary school, I vividly remember this guy came to prove to us why dinosaurs lived peacefully with man. I was fascinated. The website below sounds a lot like what he was saying, and talks about carbon dating of bones found, tails, behavior, why they were first vegetarian, why someone would want to know about dinosaurs in the Bible, and where they fit in (see the bottom of his page). Easy to understand explanations, heck, there are even pictures!

Hope my answer has helped. Keep asking fun questions!

Answer 3

Well many people say that everything was created in 7 days because the "bible" says it was so. The thing that many people do not understand is that the bible was NEVER written in english. There for alot of the poetic writings are not to be taken literally. In fact in the original writings "day" did not mean 24 hour period it actually meant a long period most say over 1000. This would make sense as we see in science has proven that rocks are way way older then many living things in fact we even see it today new land being made that we will never see finished becuase it takes centuries. Though yes God could have done it all in a minute I would doubt he would have done all of it seeing that for Him time does not exist and natural law or any law does not apply to Him.

Answer 4

Since religeon was created as a way to explain a big scary world to the uneducated illiterate masses it seems appropriate that only the truly gullible still believe the bible as literal truth. There is only about 100 billion pages of real science contradicting a few poorly translated lines originaly written many thousand years ago when people thought that fire was an element and that the earth was the center of the universe. Open your eyes and ears to real science and relegate religeon to morality lessons.

Answer 5

when god spoke the word on the fifth day the work went forth to create the animals. Millions of years latter that word materialized and form dinosaurs. the day after that he spoke humans into exzistence but didnt happen until like 40 million years ago. and adam was made but we dont know hw long he really lived since his age is from the time he bagan to die.

Answer 6

As anyone who is not a complete moron who has read the bible and researched it can tell you the bible says nothing about dinosaurs. And if you research a little you will see that the oldest living thing that we have found was here millions of years before man and that is only the ones we have found and tested. And that crack pot that believes in creationism and the article he attached is a bunch of bull s--t if you actually read it.

Answer 7

Dinosaurs were on the planet shortly after the time of Creation.

As a matter of fact, they were around when Noah boarded the ark, and the attached article proves this beyond a doubt.

Answer 8

Everyone knows that there were no humans when dinosaurs roamed the earth. I would look more specifically at their sudden extinction whether by ice, meteor, etc... Enter in - God creating the heavens and the earth. Reforming and creating the beasts, the fish the birds, includiing different forms of apes etc...and HUMANS. Adam and Eve.

Answer 9

they are still around, creatures that stopped evolving, maybe no need due to good conditions

the star light we see at night is older than 6,000 years the biblical claims state if geneology is to be taken seriously. there are many conflicting things we tend to overlook to make it so and skip past the moral of the story. with that said, we are led to believe that man is superior to animals and women and children are also to be ruled, dominated, and I don't feel that is harmless or loving, coming from a text that claims there is a God that loves people so much a hell was created too.

I have rocks with fosills embedded in them, it took thousands of years for that to happen and thousands more for the earth's crust to shift to the point it came out from deep underground and was eroded away

I look at creation stories much like Native American tales, meant to try and make sense of what we can't know but only choose to believe and maybe give us purpose and direction in life.

maybe the answer is look at those who died (dinosaurs) and microbes stuck in snow, rock, who didn't evolve with the times, and look at those who survived to this day and found thier environment and survived? if us humans don't change our ways, we will destroy our environment and only the animals we havn't killed yet will remain and the process may begin again, with the only intelligent lifeform being the ones who respect 'mother nature' and live to communicate it. I think really we need to learn from nature not mankind as they have been around and found ways to live a renewable life that will go on forever saver our tampering and modifications

Answer 10

How long do you reaaallly suppose a day to God is?

The dinosaurs were here before us. The lived, breathed and ruled for millions of years, then died out. Then man had our turn.
