If god created adam and eve as the first beings on earth why are there dinosaurs?

Answer 1

Ummmmmmm - In the Jewish and Christian Bible, the Lord created the beasts before He created Adam and Eve. Fish and fowl on Day 5, beasts on day 6, then, after the beasts, Adam and Eve. Exactly how long those "days" were, and how literally one should take the story is the debate that separates fundamentalists from biologists, liberals from conservatives. There are some Christians who believe those "days" were very long - geological periods, which would give plenty of room for dinosaurs.

If you are going to argue something, know what it is you are arguing about or risk looking like a dufus.

Here is a chunk of Genesis from the King James Bible:

19: And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
20: And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21: And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
22: And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23: And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24: And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25: And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26: 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.
27: So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Answer 2

reliable question. If Adam became created AFTER the animals, it would assume that it were hundred or thousand of years after the dinosaurs. because as in line with information shows, early guy were waiting to attraction to/paint the fantastic animals they talked about previously (horses, bison, and so on). for this reason, if Adam and Eve and their offspring talked with regard to the dinosaur, i don't think of they does no longer take a recognize it, a lot extra tell it by thoughts to their children and descendants. So my answer remains sure.

Answer 3

There are 3 heaven and earth ages, same heaven and earth but different ages.

II Pet.3:5-7 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
……………………………………….
THE WORLD THAT THEN WAS
Gen.1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

To that earth age the world that then was, belongs all fossils and remains. Scientific estimates or guesses; universe or heavens 20 billion years old, earth 4.6 billion years old, moon 200 to 300 million years younger than earth, dinosaur extinction 65 million years ago, Ice Age 2.5 million years ago.
………………………………………………………………
BEING OVERFLOWED WITH WATER PERISHED
Gen.1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.

AND THE EARTH WAS
The word “was” (hayah) in Hebrew, was not distinguished by the Revisers, that is the verb “to be” from “to become”. The same Hebrew word “hayah” is translated “became” in Gen.2:7.
AND THE EARTH BECAME

WITHOUT FORM H8414 tohu (to'-hoo) From an unused root meaning to lie waste; a desolation (of surface), that is, desert; figuratively a worthless thing; adverbially in vain: - confusion, empty place, without form, nothing, (thing of) nought, vain, vanity, waste, wilderness.

VOID H922 bohu (bo'-hoo) From an unused root (meaning to be empty); a vacuity, that is, (superficially) an undistinguishable ruin: - emptiness, void.
AND THE EARTH BECAME DESOLATE AND EMPTY
Earth was not created that way but became desolate and empty due to Satan’s rebellion. A global overflowing of water, but not Noah’s deluge. Darkness was upon the (face) of the deep, in other words the whole earth.
Into this we can read; dinosaur extinction, destruction of Atlantis, breakup of Gondwana Land, and the Ice Age.
………………………………………………………………………...
BUT THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH WHICH ARE NOW
Gen.1:2 And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Gen.1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

About 63 A.D. Peter writes, the heavens and the earth which are now. The heaven and earth age we are in now, today.
BY THE SAME WORD ARE KEPT IN STORE
RESERVED UNTO FIRE
AGAINST THE DAY OF JUDGMENT
AND PERDITION OF UNGODLY MEN
PERDITION G684 apoleia (ap-o'-li-a) From a presumed derivative of G622; ruin or loss (physical, spiritual or eternal): - damnable (-nation), destruction, die, perdition, X perish, pernicious ways, waste.
Some will perish eternally and not see the third heaven and earth age.

Answer 4

God created Adam and Eve as the first HUMAN beings. You'll get a lot of answers from people discrediting the theory of God altogether--so, let me say now that the biggest part of believing in HIM is to have faith in accepting things that science can't explain.

Answer 5

I like that last answer.

"We dunno for sure, so it's gotta be God."

Carbon Dating is flawed, not wrong. It is possible for a sample or two to be way off, but it all follows a Bell shaped curve with gives us an accurate timeframe. There will be some that show as being way earlier than they really are and others that show themselves as being way later. But the great majority will fall somewhere in the middle and the greatest majority will be almost precisely the middle.

People go through such great lengths to make their literal interpertations look right, as if God was somehow incapable of metaphor.

Answer 6

Adam and Eve were the first HUMAN beings on earth.

Answer 7

The dinosaurs were originally also created by an "adam and eve". All the animals were. And the plants. There was an adam broccoli and an eve broccoli.

Answer 8

Short and respectful answer, though your possible age is the reason for respect. God did not create Adam and Eve; that is myth or , possible, allegory. Though I do not think so.

Answer 9

Don't forget to ask where did Cain's wife come from, when there was only Eve wandering around the planet.

Answer 10

Supposing that you take the Bible seriously:

Adam and Eve were supposed the be the first HUMANS. Animals and plants already existed.
