God created the animals earlier he created guy. that consists of the finished sea monsters or dinosaurs. Genesis a million:a million says that God created the heavens and the earth in spite of the indisputable fact that it does no longer say at the same time as he did this. Billions of years in the past from the estimates of technology. each and each imaginative day turned right into a time period. no longer a literal 24 hours. all of us keep in mind that we are nevertheless contained in the seventh day because the Bible by no skill says that the seventh day has ended. So mankind has existed for over 6,000 years in accordance to the Bible's geneology. No reason to imagine the first six days were any shorter. As for remains of folk, those would nicely be deformed human beings. we've deformed human beings now. Or they'd nicely be skeletons of animals that no longer stay on the earth. they are getting extinct. The fossil list for evolution is scant. Even scientists are dissatisfied that fossils do no longer instruct the hyperlink between diverse sorts of animals that it will to help evolution. If we come from a unmarried cellular then the position are the degrees of developement? you could not develope from a unmarried cellular to any type of more beneficial existence variety without arising a coronary heart, mind, lungs and so on immediately. you could not steadily develope those organs and nevertheless have an advantageous existence variety more beneficial than a unmarried cellular creature. Animals and human beings adapt to their environment yet they nevertheless stay the type of human or animal that they were . Darwins finches tailored to their surrounding yet they were nevertheless finches. they did not grow to be yet another completely diverse existence variety.

They existed if they were the author's models for depitction, meaning that they weren't even significant in more than an archetypal way, and not at the appropriate time. Everybody writes for somebody. I don't doubt that the author had a person in mind when he wrote of Eve.
I'm fairly sure that there were mastodons present during early man, and I think smilodons, but it's been years since I cared much for prehistory, so the examples shouldn't be quoted. It's obvious that other prehistoric mammals were present, so it's a matter of learning which ones, and there's an extensive fossil record at your disposal. This doesn't necessarily conflict with your bible. I've heard it argued that the interpretation of the word day can't be as in a 24 hour span, and it seems to facilitate scientific awareness, so I don't see any reason this can't be understood to Christian anthropologists.
Genetically, the contention that two specimens populated the planet with an entire society of homogenously built, diverse, healthy organisms isn't very popular, because the specimens in question didn't reproduce asexually.

Shouldn't even bother, either you believe like me that the bible is true or you don't. It is all as simple as that.
>>>>The professor Before you start raising questions to the bible , why don't you answer the bible on a few questions . Are you afraid???
>>>>Staria ,
You can call the bible fiction if you want , I can't stop you, I mean if it makes you feel better to denote a book or as you called a great fiction work. Sure never read a book where the words have as much power to change people's lives like this one can though. Oh well.... you can play with the monkeys while I stand with Jesus.

Dinos and the Adam dont exist together. Christianity doesnt believe in dinosaurs, scientific evidence or anything rational. They just choose to ignore the facts.

The Bible was written by ancient people whose intellect told them that the earth was flat. If we all came from Adam & Eve where did Chinese people come from? How about the Aborigines? How did Noah gather 2 Polar Bears for the Arc when he didn't even know that they existed? How was Noah able to gather the 1 million different species of insects while determining the males from females? I have had clergy admit that there are many mistakes in the Bible ( the word of God). But we are told to turn a "blind eye" so, I turn a blind eye at the collection basket.

The Adam and Eve story is a nice myth - that's all it is. Science has shown that mankind evolved over the millenia moving from Africa into Europe, the Middle East and the rest of the world. So, what we're left with is a charming little morality tale and that's it.

Some believe that there was a big time gap between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2. They think dinos lived during this time.
Others believe dinos are mentioned in the Bible.
Look at the behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox. What strength he has in his loins, what power in the muscles of his belly! His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are close-knit. His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like rods of iron. He ranks first among the works of God. Job 40:15-19
Also in Job 41 and Psalm 104.
Human & Dinosaur Fossils. Human bones and tools coexist in the same fossil layers as dinosaur bones in Texas and the Dakotas.
Human & Dinosaur Footprints. Footprints of dinosaurs, humans and other mammals coexist in the same fossil layers in Texas and New Mexico.
Native American Petroglyphs. Cave and cliff drawings in Utah and Colorado crudely depict certain dinosaur species (dated from 400 A.D. to 1300 A.D.).
Ica Stones. Ceremonial burial stones discovered in Ica, Peru depict numerous species of dinosaurs, some in activities with man (dated from 500 A.D. to 1500 A.D.).
Acambaro Figurines. Ceramic and stone figurines discovered in Acambaro, Mexico represent many species of dinosaurs (dated from 800 B.C. to 200 A.D.).
Dragon Accounts. China, Europe and the Middle East share similar accounts of “dragons” and other beasts. Some cultures revered these creatures. For instance, records of Marco Polo in China show that the royal house kept dragons for ceremonies. In other cultures, it was a great honor to kill these beasts. There are numerous records of warriors killing great beasts in order to establish credibility in a village.
Behemoth, Leviathan and the Dragons of the Bible. Job writes of great creatures, Behemoth and Leviathan, nearly 4000 years ago. Although more recent Bible translations use elephant, hippo or crocodile instead, the original Hebrew does not allow for these interpretations. The word “dragon” (Hebrew: tannin) is used numerous times in the Old Testament, and most directly translates as “sea or land monsters.”
Gilgamesh, Fafnir, Beowulf and other Legends. Many famous legends, including the mythology of Egypt, Greece and Rome, include specific descriptions of dragons and other dinosaur-like creatures.
Dragons in Ancient Art. Dinosaur-like creatures are featured on Babylonian landmarks, Roman mosaics, Egyptian burial shrouds, and many other pieces of art throughout the ancient world.
Current Legends & Discoveries. There is a huge and credible legacy of sea, lake and swamp “monsters,” even to this day.

in the bible it says God created Adam and Eve after animals but only one day after. so Dino's were only a day old when Adam and Eve were created.

My opinion: Adam and Eve are a creation of the writers of this great fiction work called "The Bible."
They never existed and the bible is fiction.
