Dinosaurs and Islam?

Question

Considering the quantity of fossil fuel in the Middle East, I have to assume they've also founf the odd dinosaur bone. What do most Muslims think about the existence of dinosaurs? Do they use the ridiculuos Christian line of "didn't happen"?

Answer 1

There is nothing in Islam that says that Allah did not create dinosaurs. I believe that they existed and I am a Muslim. I have never seen anything in the Qur'an or the Hadith that would contradict the idea of dinosaurs ever existing.

Answer 2

Actually, your reasoning isn't very logical. You see, oil and coal come from the Carboniferous period, about a hundred million years BEFORE the dinosaurs first evolved. So the rock where you find oil is too old to contain dinosaur bones.

Of course, that's not to say there AREN'T any dinosaur bones in the Middle East. Nor does it say they shouldn't find fossils of carboniferous life forms down there (in fact, coal often contains imprints of plants and sometimes even of animals). It's just that your logic doesn't quite work out on its own.

Answer 3

Allah mentioned in the Quran, that HE does create what we don't know. Islam didn't came destroy the idea or proof that Dinosaurs existed. But Allah mentioned that earth has Humans, Jinns, Angels, and "Dabba"<--- in Arabic it means Animals / Animals that walks/crawls the earth...
So if science says Dinosaurs existed it means it does since it is not mentioned in the Quran that they didn't do. If Also the mamoth exists it means exists Islam didn't say No.
Even for Aliens... Allah said he creates / created what we don't know about ... maybe are Aliens ;) ..

Answer 4

No, because oil is pumped from the ground without revealing any of the underlying strata. If anything, all the water they are pumping down there to displace the oil or refill the intersedimentary spaces is destroying any fossil evidence.

Answer 5

hi,
in your question.. Muslims do not believe dinosaurs exist nor maybe it did existed .Because it does not mention in the Quran or sunnah ( the sayings of the prophet muhammed pbuh) and it doesnt say it in history though. There is no proof of existance anywhere.

Answer 6

They probably just destroyed anything that doesn't mesh with their faith, much like modern archeology. They did it in Egypt. Wrecking and defacing the ancient temples and scrawling Koran verses on them.

Answer 7

go and eat your fish.You need not to interfere in politics when you are drunken!

Answer 8

I'm afraid so.

Answer 9

Sorry! But Christians do not use the ridiculous line of "didn't happen'. Christians believe in dinosaurs, its just that Bible believing Christians do not except that they evolved or that they lived millions of years ago.

THE FACT AND THE FANTASY

FILMS, T.V., MAGAZINES, BOOKS, MUSEUM DISPLAYS ETC. ROUTINELY BOMBARD US WITH INFORMATION ABOUT DINOSAURS, BUT CAN WE TRUST THE INFORMATION THEY PRESENT SO CONFIDENTLY? AND ARE WE BEING TOLD THE WHOLE STORY?

SOME OF THE THINGS THEY TELL US:

1. DINOSAURS EVOLVED AROUND 225 MILLION YEARS AGO
2. DINOSAURS ALL BECAME EXTINCT AROUND 65 MILLION YEARS AGO. LONG BEFORE HUMANS EXISTED.
3. DINOSAURS DOMINATED THE EARTH FOR 160 MILLION YEARS.
4. SOME DINOSAURS EVENTUALLY EVOLVED INTO BIRDS.
5. DINOSAUR SCALES EVOLVED INTO FEATHERS.

SOME OF THE THINGS THEY DON’T TELL US:

* THERE IS NO GOOD EVIDENCE THAT DINOSAURS EVOLVED FROM ANYTHING. THEIR APPEARANCE IN THE FOSSIL RECORD IS ABRUPT. THEIR DISAPPEARANCE FROM THE FOSSIL RECORD IS EQUALLY ABRUPT (according to evolutionists’ own Geologic Column interpretation). THIS CONTRADICTS THE SMOOTH EVOLUTIONARY PROGRESSION OF INTERMEDIATE FORMS WE SHOULD EXPECT IF DINOSAURS HAD EVOLVED.

* THERE IS NO GOOD EVIDENCE FOR A MULTI-MILLION YEAR TIMESCALE. ORGANIC REMAINS (such as dinosaur remains) CANNOT BE RELIABLY DATED BEYOND A FEW THOUSAND YEARS. THE “MILLIONS OF YEARS” TIMESCALE PRESENTED SO CONFIDENTLY BY EVOLUTIONISTS AND THE POPULAR MEDIA RELIES ON THE OUTMODED AND DISCREDITED ASSUMPTIONS OF 18TH & 19TH CENTURY UNIFORMITARIAN GEOLOGY. THE VERY EXISTENCE OF DINOSAUR FOSSILS CONTRADICTS THESE ASSUMPTIONS. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT ANY FOSSIL FOUND IN GOOD CONDITION WOULD INDICATE THAT THE REMAINS WERE BURIED RAPIDLY. BUT RAPID BURIAL IS FATAL TO UNIFORMITARIAN GEOLOGY WHICH ASSUMES THE GRADUAL BURIAL OF ORGANIC REMAINS WITHIN A SLOW ACCUMULATION OF SEDIMENT (i.e. a few centimetres depth of sedimentary rock is purported to represent the accumulation of sediment over many thousands or even millions of years). TO BURY A LARGE DINOSAUR INTACT WOULD REQUIRE A SUBSTANTIAL DEPTH OF SEDIMENT TO BE DEPOSITED IN A VERY SHORT TIME.

* THERE IS NO GOOD EVIDENCE THAT DINOSAURS EVOLVED INTO BIRDS, ONCE AGAIN, CREDIBLE INTERMEDIATES ARE MISSING. ARCHAEOPTERYX, THE ORIGINAL, DUBIOUS, LONE CONTENDER FOR A REPTILE TO BIRD INTERMEDIATE IS NOT CONVINCING. IT HAS FULLY DEVELOPED FEATHERS AND ALL OF ITS FEATURES APPEAR IN OTHER EXISTING OR EXTINCT BIRDS. IN ANY CASE IT IS NOW DISQUALIFIED AS AN INTERMEDIATE BY RECENT DISCOVERIES OF BIRD FOSSILS DATED EARLIER THAN THE ARCHAEOPTERYX FOSSILS (evolutionist dating). ALL THE OTHER, MUCH HYPED, ‘FEATHERED DINOSAUR’ AND ‘INTERMEDIATE’ DISCOVERIES (such as the 1999 deliberately faked: Archaeoraptor) HAVE BEEN DISCREDITED.

* BIRD LUNGS ARE FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT FROM REPTILE LUNGS. THE NECESSARY, RADICAL CHANGE FROM REPTILE LUNG TO AVIAN LUNG COULD NOT HAVE TAKEN PLACE IN SMALL EVOLUTIONARY STEPS, AS THE LUNGS WOULD HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO OPERATE DURING THE TRANSITIONAL STAGES (irreducible complexity).

* THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT REPTILE SCALES COULD HAVE EVOLVED INTO FEATHERS. IN DEVELOPMENT, GENE STRUCTURE, PROTEIN SHAPE & SEQUENCE, FEATHERS AND SCALES ARE VERY DIFFERENT. FEATHERS ARE NOT JUST “FRAYED SCALES” SO OFTEN IMPLIED BY EVOLUTIONISTS. FOR EXAMPLE, IN HIS HIGHLY ACCLAIMED BOOK ‘CLIMBING MOUNT IMPROBABLE’ (p.113) LEADING EVOLUTIONIST DR. RICHARD DAWKINS RASHLY DECLARES: “FEATHERS ARE MODIFIED REPTILIAN SCALES”, HAS NOBODY BOTHERED TO TELL HIM THAT SCALES ARE BASICALLY THICKENED FOLDS OF SKIN, WHEREAS FEATHERS ACTUALLY GROW OUT OF FOLLICLES IN THE SKIN (much more similar to hairs)? FLIGHT FEATHERS ARE EXTREMELY COMPLEX IN DESIGN. MAGNIFICATION REVEALS AN AMAZING ‘VELCRO’-LIKE SYSTEM OF HOOKS & BARBULES WHICH ENABLE THE FILAMENTS TO BE JOINED TOGETHER TO FORM A VERY LIGHT RIGID STRUCTURE. THE EVOLUTION OF SUCH A STRUCTURE WOULD REQUIRE AN INPUT OF NOVEL, PURPOSEFUL, GENETIC INFORMATION. TO IMAGINE THIS COULD BE ACHIEVED SIMPLY THROUGH A SERIES OF RANDOM, GENETIC COPYING MISTAKES (mutations) IS JUST UNSCIENTIFIC ‘PIE-IN-THE-SKY.’

* THE EARLIEST, FOSSIL, BIRD BONES DISPLAY CHARACTERISTICS WHICH SHOW THAT THEY WERE WARM BLOODED CREATURES WHILE DINOSAURS AND OTHER REPTILES WERE COLD BLOODED.

FURTHERMORE, THERE IS GOOD EVIDENCE THAT DINOSAURS LIVED RECENTLY

* UNFOSSILISED, DUCK-BILLED DINOSAUR BONES HAVE BEEN FOUND IN ALASKA. THEY COULD NOT HAVE BEEN PRESERVED FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS BY COLD, AS THE CLIMATE IN ALASKA WAS ONCE MUCH WARMER.

* TRACES OF DNA HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO HAVE BEEN FOUND IN DINOSAUR REMAINS. EVEN UNDER IDEAL CONDITION DNA IS KNOWN TO DEGRADE WITH AGE. AT THE PRESENT OBSERVED RATE OF DEGRADATION, DNA COULD NOT BE EXPECTED TO SURVIVE FOR EVEN ONE MILLION YEARS. FOR ANY DNA TO REMAIN AFTER AN ALLEGED 65 MILLION YEARS WOULD BE A MIRACLE.

* SCIENTISTS AT MONTANA UNIVERSITY HAVE CLAIMED TO HAVE FOUND RED BLOOD CELLS AND PROTEIN IN SECTIONS OF UNFOSSILISED T.REX BONE. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR BLOOD CELLS TO HAVE SURVIVED FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS.

* ALL COAL (including Carboniferous coal) HAS BEEN FOUND TO CONTAIN CARBON 14. THE CARBONIFEROUS AGE ALLEGEDLY EXISTED OVER 60 MILLION YEARS BEFORE THE ‘AGE OF THE DINOSAURS.’ HOWEVER, CARBON 14 DEPLETES RAPIDLY, AND THERE SHOULD BE NO MEASURABLE AMOUNT OF CARBON 14. REMAINING IN ANY SPECIMEN AFTER 50 THOUSAND YEARS. SO THIS INDICATES THAT THE ‘AGE OF THE DINOSAURS’ WAS MUCH LESS THAN 50,000 YEARS AGO. [This is truly devastating evidence against evolutionists’ ‘millions of years’ timescale] (See ‘Questions Evolutionists Never Answer).

* LIKE THE DINOSAURS, THE COELACANTH FISH ALSO DISAPPEARED FROM THE FOSSIL RECORD LEAVING NO TRACE FOR AN ALLEGED 65-70 MILLION YEARS. EVOLUTIONISTS CLAIMED IT WAS AN EXTINCT MISSING-LINK. HOWEVER IN 1938 THEY WERE STUNNED TO FIND IT WAS STILL LIVING AND SHOWING NO SIGNS OF ANY EVOLUTIONARY ADVANCEMENT (that’s right! no evolution took place during the whole 70 million years - - - incredible!)

* DINOSAURS ARE ABUNDANTLY REPRESENTED IN HUMAN LITERARY & ARTISTIC TRADITION. TALES & ILLUSTRATIONS OF GIANT REPTILES, SEA MONSTERS, TERRIBLE LIZARDS (dragons/dinosaurs) ARE RECORDED IN ALMOST EVERY CULTURE IN THE WORLD. THEY ARE NOT ALL MYTHOLOGICAL. FOR EXAMPLE, THERE ARE REPORTS OF DRAGONS IN OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS IN ENGLAND -- IN WALES MANY PLACE NAMES REFLECT THEIR CONNECTION WITH THE DRAGONS CLAIMED TO HAVE LIVED THERE. -- AND SURELY IT IS NO ACCIDENT THAT THE LAND OF THE DRAGON (China) ALSO HAPPENS TO BE A FAVOURITE, HUNTING GROUND FOR DINOSAUR FOSSILS. THE LOCALS THERE HAVE BEEN DIGGING THEM UP FOR CENTURIES & SELLING THEM AS DRAGON’S BONES FOR MEDICINAL PURPOSES. -- TWO DINOSAUR-LIKE CREATURES (Behemoth & Leviathan) ARE DESCRIBED IN THE BIBLE AS REAL ANIMALS EXISTING AT THE TIME OF JOB.

DINOSAURS APPEAR SUDDENLY IN THE GEOLOGIC COLUMN WITH NO EVOLUTIONARY INTERMEDIATES, AND THEY DISAPPEAR JUST AS SUDDENLY. BUT THIS HAS NOT DETERRED EVOLUTIONISTS FROM MAKING WILD, EVOLUTIONARY ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT THEM, WHICH ARE PRESENTED AS THOUGH THEY ARE SCIENTIFIC FACT’S. THESE SO-CALLED ‘FACTS’ ARE REGULARLY USED TO PROMOTE EVOLUTION, PARTICULARLY TO CHILDREN, SO THAT DINOSAURS ARE NOW GENERALLY REGARDED AS SOME SORT OF SYMBOLIC ICON OF EVOLUTION, BUT THE TRUE FACTS ARE THAT:- WHERE DINOSAURS CAME FROM? REMAINS A MYSTERY IN EVOLUTIONARY TERMS. HOW OR WHEN THEY BECAME EXTINCT? IS PURE SPECULATION. SO, WE SHOULD IGNORE ALL THE EVOLUTIONARY HYPE AND REMEMBER WHAT DINOSAURS REALLY REPRESENT - - - NOT A SYMBOL OF EVOLUTION, BUT RATHER A TOTAL EMBARRASSMENT TO EVOLUTIONARY BELIEFS.
