Did Adam and Eve have to fight dinosaurs ? Where is the timeline?

Question

The Bible states "In the beginning God created Heaven and Earth. It goes on to tell of creation of foul in the air and creation of mild animals, then later creation of Adam and Eve. No proof or mention he created humungus animals who walked and ruled the earth in their time...Saber toothed tigers, T Rex, and all other kinds of dinosaurs with Adam and Eve and all the people who begot and begot down the ancestry line...no mention of dinosaurs or giant hovering mastadons, many creatures carnivorous, yet we have their bones for proof they existed. If the Bible is correct " In the beginning " IS THE BEGINNING of all things. As in the beginning WAS God. If we are to believe the Bible, the beginning started with God's creation of everything. As with a beginning there is nothing before. Where do the dinosaurs come in ?

Answer 1

I am a pastor, I hold a doctorate and I sincerely hope you do not believe in the Bible. Believe in God. The Bible merely hold's God's Word as the manger held Jesus. The Bible and the manger have quite a few knicks and dings in them.
Gen. 1-11 serve as a "pedigree" for the Faith Bible which begins w/ God and Abram in ch. 12 of Genesis. Ch. 1-11 for the most part are reworked stories from the Gilgamesh Epic (Ugaritic) from the people of Ur (Where Abram grew up) and the Hurrians. There are even older bits of material behind Gilgamesh. The 1st creation story - I am sure you have noticed that there are 2 - affirms the challenge of science in our lives. First there was chaos - black holes in the midst of each galaxy, etc. Then there was order - the basis of science. Then (horrors!) life evolved through the creation sequence.
Since humanity as we define it was not alive when TREX - though you should see me w/o chocolate = was alive, it would be difficult to explain/guess/surmise where Dino & Co. fit. What do you think - fish Dino's came first?

What Happened To The Dinosaurs?
Author: John Whitmore
Although the monstrous creature was obviously a vegetarian, its size was overwhelming. Its hips could withstand the enormous force of each pounding step and its midsection was a mass of muscle. Its gigantic tail extended far behind him, not unlike a giant cedar tree swaying behind his body. Its bones were like steel girders with ribs like iron bars to support his enormous weight. This is the greatest creature to roam the swamps and rivers of the earth.
This article is one of many found within Mr. Malone's excellent book, Search for the Truth.
Is this a scene from the blockbuster movie, Jurassic Park? It could be, but it isn't. This description, which perfectly fits an Apatosaurus, is a paraphrased description taken from one of the oldest books of the Bible, Job 40:15-24. If dinosaurs have been extinct for 65 million years, how could a writer of the Bible have accurately described the appearance, food, and habitat of this creature?
The vast majority of books on dinosaurs are written from an evolutionary perspective which assumes that the dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago. The leading model for the demise of the dinosaur involves a large asteroid hitting the earth. Yet the most obvious alternative explanation is almost always ignored. Almost all fossils are the remains of creatures buried by water-borne sediment which has subsequently turned to rock. If this is due to the flood of worldwide extent, as the water flowed over all the land surfaces, animals would have been drowned and been buried by massive amounts of rapidly accumulating sediment. It is not all surprising to find a general lack of burial mixing between these very different kinds of animals due to local or ecological grouping.
Genesis 7:2 states that Noah saved two of every representative "kind" of land animal on the ark. Noah would have taken young specimens, not huge, older creatures. Dinosaurs would have emerged from the ark to inhabit an entirely different world. Instead of a warm, mild climate worldwide, they would have found a harsh climate which soon settled into an ice age. If climatic hardships did not cause the dinosaur's extinction, man's tendency to destroy probably did.
In the early 1900's on the Doheny expedition into the Grand Canyon, Indian cave drawings were found which closely resembled a duck-billed dinosaur. Legends from ancient China to ancient England have recorded descriptions of dinosaur-like creatures. The Kuku Yalanji aboriginal people have paintings which look exactly like plesiosaurs. These and other intriguing evidences seem to indicate that perhaps that age of the dinosaurs ended more recently than is commonly taught. Christians do not need to feel foolish about standing on Scripture in their understanding of the world around us. There is ample evidence to support the Biblical record. Evolution serves as the foundation basis for the religions of humanism and atheism. These world views are popular because man, instead of God, decides on rules and moral standards. Creation serves as the foundational basis for Christianity which acknowledges that all things were created by God, that we live in a fallen universe, and that it will be restored to perfection in the future.

Answer 5

The Bible is not a history of the whole world, It never said it was.The Bible is a history of the Jewish bloodline from Adam to Jesus.
Proof: All the names are Jewish names.

"In the beginning" meant in the beginning of the Jewish History.

Actually in the original Hebrew bible test it didn't quite say "in the beginning" -- It said something like, "Our first great tribal leader"

In those days "Heavens" meant where birds fly; not the Universe.


The bible tells us (if you do the math) that the Jewish blood line started 6,000 years ago. The dinosaurs became extinct 75 million years ago.

Answer 6

It's all very allegorical. Eve conversed with a snake, and Adam danced with giant turkeys, but there were no dinosaurs; for they were millions of years prior to Adam and Eve, okay?

"In the beginning" means the beginning of religion. What about Neanderthals? They weren't included in the "beginning" cause they were before the advent of religion.

Answer 7

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.
