The begining of Earth?

Question

Ok so, if god put adam and eve on the Earth on the 7th day, and dinosaurs were before humans, does that mean dinosaurs were only living for 6 days? can someone explain this science over faith question? thanx

Answer 1

wow that is a great question and im sorry that i do not kno an answer for u

Answer 2

There is a happy median.

If we look at the Bible, back during the days of creation, there is no concept of time for God so seven days could be years or several thousand years.

I do think a "Big Bang" did happen and all the events described in the Bible did happen. But, all the dinasour stuff was skipped as that was not relevant to man. God created his book for man, not for creatures.

For me the first cavemen were the Adam and Eve. They ate the apple of knowledge (figured out they were running around naked) and changed their beliefs accordingly.

We are all just spiritual creatures taking up space in a physical form to learn the lesson our creator wanted us to learn.

So it is both faith and science. Science cannot disprove God's existance or God's role in the "Big Bang" so there are truths to some science and some Biblical beliefs.

Hope that helps (I pray).

Answer 3

Don't let it worry you. God created an evolutionary universe. It took several million years for life to appear on Earth at all. Adam and Eve came much later, around 13,000 years ago, long after the had dinosaurs disappeared.

Answer 4

God made Adam and Eve on the 6th day. I personally believe that dinosaurs and humans co-existed, however no "evidence" exists to support this, but it is the only way to Biblically explain all the fossils.

Answer 5

The creator of the universe, who has existed since long before time, has a different concept of time than do we mere mortals who exist for 120 trips around our star if we are lucky. so while the creator talks of days, a Day to an omnipotant being could easily be multiple millenia, we as humans measure a day as the planet spinning on its axis, but the creator predates, and exist well beyond the confines of the planet, so why would said creator use this planet to measure days.

Answer 6

Did you go to public school?

God did things just the way it is recorded in the Bible. Adam and Eve and the dinosaurs were in the garden for many millions of years.

His punishment was to live for 900 years after being thrown out of the garden.

Answer 7

fyi - Adam and eve were created on the 6th day and on the 7th rested. Don't depend on science to give an answer were they have no material evidence. They will only give you speculation based on no God because in their mind they haven't seen Him yet. Of course when they do it will be to late for some of them. They have developed theories trying to explain away God. But when they try, a new thing pops up that they have explain away without evidence. So what they have done is built a pyramid upsidedown that will fall down on those who kling to those ideas so strongly.

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:23

"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23

"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9-10

Answer 8

I think the translation of the story is somewhat off. The period of time called 'day' was a very long time -- and not what we call a day. The actual length of time for this is not known (obviously) , but is considered to be thousands of years. I hope I helped.

Answer 9

I actually took an Old Testament class in undergrad, and it's been determined that the "days" spoken of in Genesis are not actually days as we know them. Remember, this book was written long ago by ancient peoples who did not understand the concept of time span as we do today. The best answer I can give you is that the "days" spoken of were actually millions of years apart in time. This would go much in the way of explaining why dinosaurs were extinct before man came into being.

Answer 10

Sure. Science is supported by facts, evidence, experimentation, observation, hypotheses, and research. Faith is supported by archaic books and the people who have faith.

This isn't a hard choice...

Answer 11

people weren't around on a similar time as dinosaurs. in case you examine out reptile to human the bounce seems enormous, and extremely i'm uncertain we did. in case you appeared on the bounce from one specie to a different it does not look that different. interior the nicely suited situations evolution does not inevitably could desire to take as long because it sounds as though. like dogs case in point, dogs are all bred from wolves, we made dogs, nature made wolves, and examine out the form of dogs there are. we did no longer genetically engineer them, we bred them. the 1st existence grew to become into, we expect of, on the grounds that we haven't been able to reproduce the form yet, is a mixture of particular chemical ingredients a number of that are amino acids, and lightning strike. this produces a unmarried cellular existence variety. then from that a particularly greater complicated one etc until eventually you get multi-celled existence varieties. you ought to check out some monkeys and locate them to be such as squirrels or another mammal, and then some greater such as us. it in simple terms so handed off the the bridge species between chimps and people all grew to become human, and there are nevertheless chimps around. some species look very very like a bridge specie, like penguins, what was once poultry and is now greater like fish, or fish which could fly for short sessions, and additionally some fish which could walk and proceed to exist land, bridging into reptiles. the factor is that any given specie is in consistent state of evolving, and the adjustments are very small, in particular situations a specie branches off because of the fact it migrates to someplace else the place different reward are required, and in particular situations because of the fact the ambience adjustments so the foundation specie adjustments. whilst that occurs you in simple terms opt for a definite element at which it extremely is different sufficient from once you started out to call it a sparkling specie, yet a gaggle in between ought to be the two. case in point how long does a giraffe's neck could desire to be beforehand you call it a giraffe and not a variety of camel. you ought to probable stumble on a chart someplace with the evolutionary chain from some species to others. you will could desire to be particular on your seek probable regardless of the shown fact that because of the fact those chains are extensive.
