where did dinosaurs come from if according to the bible we have only been here 2000 years?

Question

i m sorry i meant 6000 years

Answer 1

The Bible does not state that we have been here for only 2,000 years. It has been 2,000 years since the death of Christ. Dinosaurs came from God - God created them

Answer 2

Someone has been lying to you. The bible says no such nonsense. Some Biblical literalists believe that we've only been here for 6000 years, but that isn't a number in the bible 'cuz nothing from the bible is from today. If I had to answer your question about dinosaurs, I'de say that they came here the same way the other animals did. God made them somehow. The bible doesn't say how He made animals, just that He did. He left the finding out how part up to us to solve.

Answer 3

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).

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.

Answer 4

ok, I purely at present made the transition from being athiest to now Christian. yet I somewhat have some deep roots in technologies having a draw close's degree in metrology that's quite lots physics. I somewhat have a bachelor's degree in historic history of the Levant (Mesopotamia) i'm going to predate all the Biblical observations with the Epic of Gilgamesh the Assyrian Kings lists that predate te earliest areas of the Bible by potential of technique of one thousand to 3000 years. somewhat, purely an fool would have self theory the earth flat. each and each individual who ought to comprehend the seen the wheel ought to detect the earth a sphere revolving and rotating around the image voltaic. regardless of the shown fact that the Bible strikes out on many scientific innovations too. interior the approach the sixteenth Century many experts sought to decide on the Bible with the nice and comfortable emergence of technologies. that continues to be ongoing. i'm in pursuit of that for the duration of consumer-friendly words for myself. a great subject I somewhat have is the Flood. If it handed off as pronounced as a international flood retaining the mountains it could require three times all the water on and indoors the earth and indoors the ambience. I somewhat have a topic with "What handed off to all that water?" I contend flooding the earth grow to be indoors sight and coated the mountains in in all probability the Black Sea or Bosphorous section. that should paintings to learn technologies. Interchanging that the international grow to be somewhat the section the inhabitants traveled lived and ought to paintings out. I do have a topic with some Christians that on one hand desire to disprove technologies which comprise carbon dating, yet very somewhat will use the areas of technologies that help the Bible (like DNA) I purely adventure some take the Bible somewhat too literal or bypass over that some must be parabales or according to danger organic and organic myth to objective to describe subjects to the persons residing 2000-3000 years interior the previous jointly as technologies purely did no longer exist.

Answer 5

Humans have been around since the Bible time, so the Bible is on about humans, not Dinasours, thats totally different issues, Bilbe dnt mean Earth beoing 2000 years old buy humans involved with Christanty, u lot shud read ur Bbile more closely and reserach.

Answer 6

First of all , the Bible shows that it has been between 6000-7000 years since the fall of Adam. We know that the animals were here on Earth before Adam and Eve. What we don't know is how long Adam and Eve lived in their perfected state before the fall. The animals were already mortal and would die. Continue your study . Good Luck. any more questions???

Answer 7

It's very simple. The people who wrote the books that went into the Bible never saw or heard of dinosaurs. So they didn't write about them. References to the "behemoth" are just another monster tale...one of many monster tales from ancient cultures. There was no divine hand at work in the writing of the books. Only the hands of desert nomads who were utterly ignorant of geology, paleontology, astronomy, biology, and so on.

Answer 8

Before the flood there was a watter table above the earth, it keept the earth in the perfect weather condition, it never rained, oxygen was richer and everything, after the flood, there where extreemly (and thats an understatement) dramatic climent change and beacuse they had smaller lungs and bodies used to preflood world they died, and of course verry few were even on the arc so pretty much all of them died verry quickly.
And yes, unicorns were left off the arc, why, Ill ask God.

Are there dinosorus in the bible yes, read job.

Answer 9

2000 years are not the same measurement of time in the Bible as compare to the years today. Wait a minute George! What does minute mean? A real year, or a Bible year. A real minute, or a wait a minute. How do you translate the dead sea scrolls anyway? With present day dialog? It just is not the same as latter day dialog.

I hope this has helped you.

Answer 10

God is the creator of all living things
God always was, and Is and aways shall be.
We have been here a short time
The earth they say is 41/2 to 5 Billions years old.

Read the book of : Ecclesiastes
Maybe that will give some insight

Answer 11

Please read this with an open mind. My theories are strictly logical, I'm not preaching to you whatsoever. The bible is a very complex book. After all it IS God in some sense. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the word was God." John 1:1. I brought that up because you can't just read the bible and expect to find an easy answer.

Which brings me to my theory of what happened to the dinosaurs. If you read the book of Genesis 1:1-2 It says: "In the beginning (before man, dinosaurs, angels, all living creation) God created the heavens and the earth". (This next verse is VERY important) "The earth was without form, and void; (God does not create anything imperfect. We are born imperfect because of sin. Lucifer was perfect but chose sin. Just like the angels we have a mind of our own and it's up to us wether we choose sin. If angels like lucifer weren't capable of choosing their path then they wouldn't be perfect. Everything perfect can change to sin except God.) "..and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters." The fact that God created the earth on the first verse and the second verse says that the world was a destroyed planet doesn't make sense. SOMETHING IS MISSING. A whole story takes place in between those 2 verses.

What supports this theory? Doesn't modern science teach that a meteor is the most likely reason the dinosaurs were destroyed? In Luke 10:18, Jesus (the Word) says, "And he said to them, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven." When Lucifer sinned, he was cast from heaven and in his wrath destroyed everything on the earth, similar to the meteor theory. In Revelations 12:7-17 there is another example of the Devil's wrath after being cast from heaven.

Besides dinosaurs there were other civilizations that Lucifer destroyed. This is a passage of the original and first sinned in history, committed by the devil himself. Isaiah 14:12-15 says,"How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star (Lucifer), son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! (What nations are they talking about!? Nations that existed before Adam and Eve. Lucifer was cast down before Adam and Eve [The first humans we assume God created] were created. How do I know? Remember it was Satan [his new name after being cast down] that tempted Eve by taking the form of a serpent. If Satan was cast down AFTER the descendants of Adam and Eve had multiplied and formed nations, then that means that the devil was barely sinning for the first time by wanting to be like God. Which couldn't be true since the devil is the original author of sin. That's like saying that the serpent wasn't Satan or that sin existed before Satan sinned. Logically this couldn't be possible.)

13 You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven(ascend from where? He was some kind of ruler on the earth, appointed by God. Back when he was still Sinless); above the stars(the other angels) of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far north; 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will make myself like the Most High(God).’ 15 But you are brought down(cast down) to Sheol(Hell), to the depths of the Pit.

We know that dinosaurs existed because of the proof we find as fossils. The bible doesn't mention anything about these giant lizards. It doesn't mention a lot of the species that exist today. Only God, Men, some angels and some demons are the main characters in the bible. My point is that a lot of History is missing. Where did dinosaurs come from? Nobody knows. Did they exist Millions of years ago? It's possible since the world that existed before Genesis 1:2 is not mentioned. Who destroyed them? Satan.

I hope you can make sense of all of this. Much like the bible this is no easy explanation either. I could go on several more pages but I hope this is enough. Oh BTW the theory going around that the "Noah flood" was the cause of the dinosaurs demise is illogical. Fossils show us that there were also many Dinosaurs that lived in the sea, not all of them were land creatures. My point, a flood would not kill an animal that already lives in the sea. That's like a shark drowning.
