If god created the world in seven days, and created man on the sixth day, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DINOSAURS?

Question

It's questions like this that made me agnostic.

I want to hear some theories.

I mean, were they honestly extinct within a few days of existance?

And Zachariah, stop telling me I'm gonna go to hell.

You guys aren't listening to what I am asking!!!
The dinosaurs were extinct before humans were alive, but humans were created 2 days after animals were.

WHAT HAPPENED WIH THAT??? Did the dinosaurs live two days and just... die?

Somehow I find THAT hard to believe!!!

Fine. SIX days, or whatever you christians want to believe.

Answer 1

They were created also, but not mentioned as dinosaurs in the Bible, generally mentioned as beasts.

Read Genesis 1:1 fore more information.

Good luck.

Answer 2

It seems you like to "pick and choose". You pick and choose the world was created in seven days and man just a couple of days after the dinosaurs. But then you seem to think the dinosaurs died out within a couple of days!!

The term "dinosaur" came into existence about 1841, when the fossils began to be discovered.

However ancient drawings show pictures very much resembling dinosaurs.

And the Bible mentions them.
leviathan, behemoth, tanniym

When did they come into the big picture? A couple of days before Adam was created. (Check Genesis 1).

Theories??
Instead, read the Bible.

What happened to the dinosaurs?

Some theorise that after the Flood, the global environment had a big chill [the most recent "ice-age"]. Most dinosaurs fond that climate inhospitable and gradually their population decreased.

==================================

And what about: "Well, Noah couldn't fit the dinosaurs aboard the Ark.".

Why NOT???

Even adult dinosaurs came in many different sizes, Not all were anywhere as big as T. Rex. And, who ever said that that Noah took only fully-grown adult-size animails on the Ark. Ever think that he might have taken YOUNG animals?

Answer 3

Dinosaurs, to the most part became extinct. There are a few still roaming the earth, since the horned toad is a reminant of dinosaurs. They are almost extinct from the preditors and the pesticides used around them. The animal species come and go as time goes on. Some think they were killed during the last Ice Age. They did exist and, as I said, a reminant still exists.

Answer 4

First Dinosaurs can't Die before Adam and Eve, they can only Die after Adam and Eve sinned against God. When God created Adam and Eve, death was not part of the created order. It was not until they sinned that death entered the scene (Rom. 5:12; 6:23). Also sin has affected the world in that there are floods, earthquakes, storms, etc. These are the result of an imperfect world with sin running through it. When Adam fell, the world was affected by his fall.
This should be common knowledge to real bible students.
Therefore Dinosaur would have lived, just like any other animal would have back in the days of Adam and Eve.

While the word "dinosaur" is a relatively new word, there seems to be evidence in many places around the world that men and these creatures have co-existed. In the Bible, when God is responding to Job, in Job 40 and 41, we see two creatures described, the 'behemoth' and the 'leviathan.' Both are described as extremely large animals and seem reminiscent of descriptions of a dinosaur and a giant sea creature. Although Bible notes in many modern translations suggest these animals might be a hippo, a crocodile, an elephant, or other known animals, the Biblical descriptions defy those identifications.

Also to the people that think god used Evolution as a Tool in Creation you need to know that this is a wrong idea. The theme of evolution is theistic evolution. It states that God initiated life on earth and allowed evolutionary principles to bring man to where he is--maybe with a little help from God here and there. At least this theory includes God. But this theory was developed in part by Bible believing people who thought that evolution had some merit. In addition, it is an attempt to answer the many problems existing not only in the fossil record but also with how life could somehow randomly form out of nothing. Because of problems like this, some believe they can be explained by simply adding God to the picture: God directed evolution.

For those who hold to the Bible as the word of God, theistic evolution should not be a viable option. The Bible says, "Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us..." (Psalm 100:3). The Scriptures state that God created. God said, "Let there be..." and there was. The Scriptures speak of the creative word of God. When God speaks; it occurs. He said "Let there be" and it was so. It does not say, "Let there be a slow development through an evolutionary process."

God said in Genesis 1:26, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." The Hebrew word for "make" in this verse and in verse 25 where God makes the beasts, is "asah." It means to do, work, make, produce. This is not simply the limited Hebrew understanding of evolutionary principles.

The land animals were made differently than man. The animals were made from the ground but man was made directly by God: "the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being" (Gen. 2:7). Evolution states that man evolved from life forms that developed in the ocean. Here, God made man from the dust of the ground--not the water of the ocean.

If evolution is true and the Bible is true then how is the formation of Eve explained? She was created out of one of Adam's ribs (Gen. 2:22). There is no way to explain this if theistic evolution is true; that is, unless you want to say that Eve wasn't made from Adam's side. Then, if you do that, you are doubting the very word of God.

Also, Jesus said in Mark 10:6 "But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.'" The beginning was not evolutionary slime; in the beginning of creation there was Adam and Eve.

Though this information is brief and far from complete, it should be obvious that theistic evolution and the Scriptures cannot be harmonized.

Answer 5

A day with God is a thousand years. Dinosaurs may have existed, that doesn't prove the Bible wrong. The Bible doesn't speak of the animal kingdom. It speaks to His believing children. There's more proof of the Bible being true than not. Nature itself prove the Bible to be true. The same God of the Bible is the same God of nature. Example: The sun rises in the early morning like that of a new born babe, then as it grows it reaches it full strength at noon, like a young 22 yr. old man, after a while at evening it gets dim, like an old man, then after awhile it fades into the dark, like death. Is that the end of it? No, in the morning it comes up again. Representing the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Answer 6

since you asked...... They are still with us today. I know, you think I'm crazy but I'm not. You see, reptiles never stop growing, the will grow in size until they die. The older they get the bigger they get.

The chemistry of earth was different before the great flood. People lived for several centuries. There were giants who walked the earth in those days. Because the life spand was much greater before the flood, reptiles grew to huge sizes, the reptiles that we now call dinosuars, just reptiles who lived very long lives and grew and grew.

If you were putting 2 of each creature, male and female on a boat with limited space, would you put a full grown lizzard on the boat or a young and smaller lizzard? Common sense tells that they were young and after the flood, life spands were much, much shorter, therefore the creatures just simply do not live long enough today to become huge creatures or dinosaurs.

So there you have it, now you can stop pretending you don't understand God and accept Him at His Word.

Answer 7

Some religious fanatics don't even believe that there were dinosaurs.

Some religious folks take the events in Genesis as more of a parable than an infallible history.

Some religious folks might point out that one of God's "days" might be millions of years long. Perhaps evolution was the tool that God used to create mankind.

What do I think? Well, I'm an agnostic too ... but not an atheist as that precludes any possibility of a higher power.

Answer 8

Well, there are actually dinosaurs listed in the Bible (search for behemoth and leviathan). According to the Bible, prior to Noah's flood the atmosphere on the planet was much different than it is today. It actually says that there was oceans and land, like we know them now, then air above, and then another layer of water above that. When the flood came, the Bible says the floodgates of heaven were opened up on the earth, and that extra layer of water is where all the floodwater came from. Since that water is no longer there, the atmosphere is much different on the earth now, and my thought is that dinosaurs must not have been able to survive as a result. The majority of the dinosaurs died in the flood, and since the earth was completely covered with water for an entire year, the sediment of the earth was completely changed, making it appear that the dinosaurs lived millions of years ago, as opposed to just a few thousand.

Answer 9

God may have created the earth and laid the seeds of life that would one day evolve into the dinosaurs and later into man, but a belief in dinosaurs shouldn't necessarily preclude a belief in God.

God may exist or he/she may not but one thing we do know is that dinosaurs existed and to deny that makes you either an idiot or a zealot (albeit there is a VERY fine line between the two).

Continue to question, to strive for knowledge and to refuse to accept the asinine mantra of the narrow minded and in doing so realize your full intellectual and spiritual potential!

Answer 10

its was created on the day God made the other creatures.

Its like asking when did God made the monkeys or elephants

Is it because the dinosaurs are so huge and have gone the path of extinction that people doubt that God could have created something like that ?

EDIT ::::: wat makes u think that dinosaurs when into extinction before man was made ? They were just a bunch of creatures that could not cope with a changing environment and slowly over time disappeared.

here's a list if you want to see what other species of animals gave up living on mother earth : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_extinct_animals

and here's another list of animals going down the same path :

Answer 11

Job chapter 40-41 talks of a dinosaur moves his tail like a cedar tree....there is no animal alive today that still has that feature. The Bible never says dino's never existed...
