There could not have been bones of dead animals before sin as this would undermine the gospel wouldn't it?

Question

Genesis1.24 says that before sin (Adam's) no death or disease occurred so the dinosaur bones cannot be older than Adam. (tee hee)

Answer 1

i think everythign can discount everything. or prove it.. i mean you can use the bible to prove ppl are made of rubber...

Answer 2

Right you are, which is why so called theistic-evolutionists are ridiculed and scorned by staunch evolutionists. Even they are aware of the contradictions between the theory of evolution and the Biblical story of creation. Evolution omits evidence from textbooks that clearly proves man and dinosaur lived together, too. Such as detailed cave drawings of dinosaurs which could only have been drawn by intelligent humans and footprints of humans on top of dinosaur footprints in the exact same location and layer. There are numerous contradictions between creation and evolution, but there are still people out there that claim God used evolution to create. Evolution contradicts the very loving character of God and His omnipotence. Unfortunately you will have very little luck, if any, of changing the minds of evolutionists and theistic-evolutionists because they've been blinded to the truth by the deceiver-Satan. Furthermore, the Bible clearly states numerous times that God created the universe and everything in it in 6/24 hour days. That is the only possible, logical explanation for a 7 day week. There are scientific reasons for the day, month, year and season but not for a 7 day week. Some countries have attempted to change that and failed, including China, and there is still a 7 day week. When Adam and Eve sinned, death entered the world. Not just the death of humans, but of every living thing. This was a result of God's curse upon the Earth. The Bible also states that, before sin, man and beasts of the Earth were vegetarian/herbivores. That means nothing hunted and killed for food. This occurred after the Fall. When God looked at all He created He called it all "very good". In other words our perfect God had created a perfect universe. Death, by definition, is an imperfection. Anyone who claims that death existed before sin is calling God a liar and I sure wouldn't want to be in their shoes on Judgement Day.

Answer 3

Unfortuantely the methods used for ageing bones and the like are based on a theory, so even if you could theorise that something was there before man you couldn't prove iot anyway and therefore you couldn't disprove the gospel like you are tring to do dufus...........Tee hee Hee HAAAAA.

Oh and by the way Genesis 1:24 doesn't say that at all. It actually says " Then God said, 'Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind and everything that creeps upon the earth according to its kiknd,.and god saw that it was good.

In any event I think you will find it is refering to humans not other animals, that is why the blood of Jesus takes away the sin of the world thereby giving those who accepting as there Lord and Saviour: ETERNAL LIFE.

Mans sin brought upon him disease and death.

What on earth do you think Adam and Eve ate.

Oh and by the way the methods of dating you seem to so love show Man and Dinosaurs walking the Earth at the same time.

Answer 4

Get your data directly. 33 A.D. is the time-honored date of Our Lord's dying and Resurrection: Mark: incredibly some sources estimate that this gospel grew to become into written sometime from fifty seven to seventy 5 A.D. Matthew: pupils usually assert that the gospel grew to become into written by way of the disciple Matthew, in step with risk 40 5 A.D. or in the previous. The Scofield Bible states that the historically time-honored date is 37 A.D., purely 4 to 7 years after Jesus' execution. Luke: Estimates of the date of writing variety from the previous due 50's to the ninety's. A date nearer to ninety A.D. is possibly, because of the fact the author comments on the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D., and thanks to its dependence on Mark. John: because of the fact of its theological concepts and the emphasis on Jesus because of the fact the Son of God, it right this moment grew to grow to be the well-known gospel. It has remained the well-known right this moment, particularly between conservative Christians. It grew to become into in all likelihood written between eighty 5 and a hundred A.D., after believers in Jesus have been expelled from Jewish synagogues. John grew to become into the youngest Apostle, and could have incredibly lived that long.

Answer 5

Interesting point.
Two things to think about in relation to that:
First, a lot of people, including a significant number of scientists, believe the whole dating system to be full of flaws.
Second, assuming you might consider the first point to be very biased (and yes, I am biased - I don't know about the scientists I'm referring to, though), the whole question of death coming into the world could be referring onlyto man. The text referring to it is actually talking about mankind and sin. Many Biblical scholars do argue, like you, that this refers to animals as well, and, while I believe they and you might be right, my faith would not be based on that particular interpretation.

Answer 6

Animals were created in day five from water, animals are food for each other in those and in these days. Adam was created 13,870 years after animals were here.

Days or ages [eras ], one through seven will be 49,000 years after Rev.20:1-6,12,13;
The thousand year reign of Christ to make all new and perfect as it was before it was LOST 6000 years in Day [ or ages or eras ], of Day seven. That world of 6000 years will end and there will be no Satan Matt.24:3,7,14,15,22,34,36-38 [ ONLY GOD KNOWS THE DAY AND THE HOUR ];

Eph.2:7; 3:21; The world with Jesus is without end as ages [ or eras or eons ], continue. 2Pet.3:8,13; Rev.21:1-5;

Answer 7

The Bible doesn't say that. It just says that God created the animals before the humans. No where does it say that death didn't exist before Adam's sin. It says that death is the punishment for sin. Are you just picking books/numbers, or do you actually have a Bible you need to dust off?

Answer 8

Why? The garden was a relatively small area. The world ravaged by those angles that were expelled from heaven for their evil had corrupted the earth. The verse you quoted didn't say a word about no death.. Well see my explanation above... Jim

Answer 9

And this is another very good reason for believing that the "scientific" dating of dinosaur bones are in error by millions of years.

Of course "scientists" [actually EVOLUTIONISTS] know the age of the dinosaur bones ... determined by the age of the rocks in which the fossils are found!! And, how do they know the age of those rocks? Simple, really. They date those rocks based on the fossils found in them!!

Evolutionism requires a very great faith!!

Answer 10

Dinosaurs were created the same time the animals were- they are not billions of years old- that is deceptive evolution for you.
I cant even say if they were called dinosaurs but rather "beasts of the earth" ----The world will do anything to cover up God's 7 day creation.

Answer 11

sorry to disappoint you but the bible is not a history book. the world is older then 6000 years and dinosaurs lived millions of years before humans ever existed. trying to use the bible as historical proof of anything just shows how little you actually know.
