Origin of the dinosaurs?

Question

If the almighty created all living things, one assumes he created the dinosaurs. What went wrong? Did he just think; "That didn't work, I'd better try again."

Answer 1

They could have been residual life that just happen to appear while he was creating the earth, then he sanitized and created us.

Alot like the life forms on your toilet seat, you didn't put them there but they are there.

Answer 2

In the Bible, there wasn't any comparable measure of time used to describe the duration of God's creations before the creation of man. Dinosaurs were very successful in that they lived a very, very long time. They were found in every single facet of the world. Their relatives lived in the waters and flew in the air. I think God did the same thing with the dinosaurs has he does with all his creations. He created the first creature from the clay (DNA) and let it go about with its own free will. He waited and watched. When man evolve from whatever creature that came before him. God became very curious. I think it was at this time that he became involved. Because after so much time had gone by and numerous groups of creatures came and went, he finally saw a creature emerge that looked to the sky and asked if God was there.

From all the texts that I could find from all the religions about a single God, it would appear that God is a lonely creator. He might have been the first thing to emerge from the nothingness or he may have always been there. But from this loneliness he created a world (perhaps several?) so that he might find a being that can ease his loneliness. Every religion discusses how God only wants to be loved unconditionally.

I think that the dinosaurs were there and then gone because they failed to adapt or their world changed because of a asteroid that impacted the earth. This didn't matter much to God, for dinosaurs did not look to the sky and ask if God was there.

Answer 3

If the Creator thought, "Oops! I'd better try again," and that was just dinosaurs, think what will happen to humans. They are infinitely more evil than any dinosaur that ever roamed the planet. When you look to the physical, material world for answers, you find imperfection and mistakes. Judging from the evidence that life always ends in death would lead one to believe that the Creator is incapable of governing what He thought of. The origin of the dinosaurs was thought, and the question becomes, are we, as humans, seeing true thoughts as the Creator sees them?

Answer 4

We don't know...but we do know they were created by our creator...what for, whys, what happen to them?
it is still a puzzle for us humans to understand our creator some times from a human perspective.
We all have inquiring puny minds..., our creator knows what he is doing leave it in his hands.
If he wants to in time he will...but the problems with the mess of the world and the salvation of the human race is first priority.
Let me interject a thought here.
The geologists, archaeologists and other scientists have given us some good clues...the large medior that crashed the earth in Arizona a gigatic hole, they said spread the after effect many many miles the dust clouds and the preasure of the shock waves destroyed a lot of the creation extending as far north in Canada, south in Mexico and in other areas they said it is possible that the dinosaurs were wiped out their.
In other geographic areas, in Russha, South America and other places...mediorits very large ones landed on the planet earth with such distructive force wipping out a lot of the creative things some were dinosaurs. they said.
Please don't make fun of our creator there is a reason for everything be patient he has everything in control.

Answer 5

I follow the teachings of Jesus. I do not believe the Old Testament to be literally true as much of it is simply against common sense when viewed in this way. I consider Genesis to be mostly metaphore rather then literally true.
I think God created the dinosaurs and then let them become extinct as part of a larger plan.

Answer 6

hey wait a minute.... FLOOD there has been no evidance that there was a flood that wiped out the dinosaurs ah thats right because sum book said so with out any prove blind or what? us people wise to evolution know what happened on the facts that dinosaurs roamed the earth millions of years ago and that a ice age detroyed the dinosaurs but suppose according to sum thats just a theory based on evidence that we have found..its pretty good evidence thou dont ya think..infact its better than what a man made book says with no prove what so ever unless your deluded of course

Answer 7

THERE IS NO GOD. Try and ignore what the stone age thinkers of the world would have you beleive as the truth.
ALL of the EVIDENCE points towards a planet that has evolved life over a staggering amount of time.
Religion has evolved over a very short amount of time.

Oh, and remember this....... dinosaurs never killed anyone....... religion has killed countless millions....

Do not let the nutters influence you.

Answer 8

Deathly silence from the Bible Brigade and the Quranic Kafirs.

The concept that puts Hinduism apart from other religions is that of 'Avatars' or incarnations of God.

The 1st incarnation was Matsya (Fish). This corresponds to early life forms that lived only in water.
The 2nd was Kurma (Tortoise) This lived in the water but could come on land. It also had 4 limbs
The 3rd was Varah (Boar). This was one of the earliest land animals.
The 4th was Narasimha (Half-man-half-lion). This was the early man who was still wild as the lion.
The 5th was Vamana (Dwarf). This was the early man who was better than the beast.
The 6th was Parsuram (Man with axe). This was the early man able to use a simple tool.
The 7th was Rama (Man with bow and arrows). This was the hunter gatherer man.
The 8th was Balaram (Man with a plough). Now man had learnt to grow crops to feed his family.
The 9th was Krishna (Modern Man) With the increase in the population wars ensued and Krishna guided the righteous to victory.
The 10th will be Kali (The bionic-robotic-man, yet to evolve). This is the final incarnation.

Does this not seem like Darwin's 'Theory of Evolution' applied to man.
Yet the scriptures were written many many years before Mr Darwin proposed his theory.

The Christian Church opposed it till it was gradually accepted by the scientific community, at least.

Answer 9

Many animals have come and gone gone extinct since creation. Just like with all thing ancient we don't have all the answers.
But just because something goes extinct doesn't mean it wasn't created; or else no Egyptian Empire, no Assyrian Empire, no Aztec Empire...

Answer 10

Probably a lot were wiped out because of the flood

www.creationontheweb.com is an interesting site if you want to look into this in detail

Creationists certainly do believe in dinosaurs. In fact, Job, the oldest book in the bible contains references to large animals described as follows:

Job chapter 40. "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)

Many people (myself included) believe these verses in the book of Job to be referring to dinosaurs.

There are other verses that refer to a creature called Leviathan that are also considered by many to refer to dinosuars.
