who were here first the dinosaurs or Adam and eve?

Answer 1

There are some technical problems that God would have faced in including dinosaurs in the creation account. There is no word for "dinosaur" in the Hebrew language. Now, God could have invented a Hebrew word for dinosaur and explained what those animals were like and how they had died out. However, this is a one page description of the creation of the world and life in it. Trying to explain about an extinct group of creatures would have taken a lot of space and distracted from the rest of the creation account.

Obviously, there were a lot more creatures than just dinosaurs that were left out of the creation account. If God were to have included every creature in the creation account (well over one billion), such inclusion would have completely lost the spiritual significance of the passage (and would be much longer than the Bible itself). The purpose of the Genesis creation account is to give an account of how God created mankind and provided for him. The account, like the entire Bible, centers on God and His miraculous workings for mankind. Therefore, in the creation account, we find the supernatural creation of the universe by God, indicating that the universe wasn't always here, but created by God for man. Next, it talks about the creation of plants, which are important to humans, since we eat them, and also important to the animals that we rely upon, which also eat them. Then, it talks about the sea creatures and birds, which we also eat. It next talks about the beasts of the field, which we eat and use for labor. Then it talks about the creation of mankind and how he is to have dominion and manage the earth and its creatures.

The second chapter of Genesis gives a spiritual account of the creation of mankind and man's relationship to God. The entire account is centered on God and man. Therefore, one would expect the creation account to describe events that are important to mankind.

And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

The fact is that dinosaurs are as unimportant to us as they were to the Hebrews to whom the creation account was given. The purpose of the creation account is to provide an explanation of how God provided for mankind and created him as the one spiritual animal on earth. The account is purposely brief and centered upon mankind - the only creature God created on earth to enter into a personal relationship with Him. The Genesis creation account contains all the information necessary to fulfill the purpose given for the recording of the pages of the Bible. As an exercise to illustrate the point, you might want to write your own one page creation account. In doing this, you should center the account on mankind and the creation miracles God used to prepare the earth for him. What you will find is that there is not room to discuss dinosaurs or any other extinct species of life.

Answer 2

The Genesis Gap Theory of the bible states that the dinosaurs were first, the cave-men of various sorts, and all the pre-adamic men and pre-adamic women and children after the cave men. Then after Lucifer fell from heaven causing a massive meteor showing on earth, destroying the face of the earth, God recreated the earth Gen 1:2-.... !! Then Adam and Eve were created. then they choose to become evil through willfull disobediance. And they're descendents were all evil too up until Noah, right
Then what did God do, according to the bible ?
The christian bible teaches that God once again in the near future will Again destroy the world that we all know. But not with water this time, but by Fire, which will come down from heaven ! Nevertheless, God still loves people because he gave us the law, and He still loves us because He gave mankind Jesus.

Those that do not believe in God and/or the bible and or the Tanak and Torrah, state that truth holds to the fact that
the bible, and the Torah, & adam and eve are simply myths.
And science always outways religion.
Science explains sees things as they really are now and how things were in the past with exactness of Truth !

Answer 3

well actualy Noach His Family and whosoever are the animals, are always the first people on this planet in TheTorah. which is always TheFirst Day of TheTorah Week always re-beguinning Sunday.

so the always same dead dinosaur bones, are re-planted at the same time. but as for adam and chaooah, they never get resurrected again here in the second comming, untill near the end of TheSixth Day, after wwii starts and the same dead planted dinosaur bone are already being dug up again, here in always TheTorah. because TheG-D WHO Only! gives TheTorah here, does not give anything else but TheWhole Torah Live Action in TheHappening just again.

Answer 4

If you believe in the Bible, then Adam and Eve came first. Since God created the heavens and earth, then created Adam and Eve it just sounds logical. It wouldn't be a Garden of Eden with Dionsaus roaming around would it?

Answer 5

Dinos. Adam and Eve never existed, except for inside the minds of men.

Answer 6

Dinosaurs.

BTW its actually quite a respected theory that "Eve", a common mother to all mankind DID exist.
Mitocondrial DNA is only inherited from your mother and it evolves at a steady predictable rate. Looking at the variations in Mitocondrial DNA across different populations scientists have tried to trace the relationships. Their calculations pointed to a possible single mother for all mankind - dating around 100,000 years ago (I think)

Answer 7

The dinosaurs were on earth millions and millions of years before the coming of mankind. The estimated time around 65 million years ago.

Answer 8

Genesis is allegory. Adam and Eve never existed.

Have you never noticed the similarity between Eve's story and that of Pandora's box. Do you think Pandora existed, too?

Answer 9

The dinosaurs were here 65 million years ago.

Adam, if he exists at all as a historical person, was here only 8-10,000 years ago at most.

Answer 10

The Bible says Adam and Eve was first. Read Genesis.

Answer 11

Adam and Eve was the first people on earth and came after the animals. Those that says Adam and Eve didn't exist is lying through thier teeth.
