Did Men and Dinosaurs Live Together?

QUESTION: What about dinosaurs? Did men and dinosaurs ever live together? Why doesn't the Bible talk about dinosaurs?
RESPONSE: While the word "dinosaur" is a relatively new word, there seems to be evidence in many places around the world that men and these creatures have co-existed. In the Bible, when God is responding to Job, in Job 40 and 41, we see two creatures described, the 'behemoth' and the 'leviathan.' Both are described as extremely large animals and seem reminiscent of descriptions of a dinosaur and a giant sea creature. Although Bible notes in many modern translations suggest these animals might be a hippo, a crocodile, an elephant, or other known animals, the Biblical descriptions defy those identifications.

The Bible and Pterosaurs: Archaeological and Linguistic Studies of Jurassic Animals that Lived Recently
The Chinese histories and legends abound with dinosaurs. But they are not called "dinosaurs." They are called "dragons." The dragon is one of the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac. What is interesting is that all the other eleven are commonly known animals and there is no hint of 'mythology' involved with their identities. It seems as if the dragon was just a commonly known at one time. The pictures are often fantastical, but so are their stylized pictures of horses and other animals. I checked the web for accessible information on this. I was able to find a few things that were not having to do with video games, sculptures, movies, items for sale, and such. The following links may be of interest. There are more. If you have access to books, you might want to check the epic of Beowulf, in which he battles a monster. If you have access to a good book on the history of art, you may be able to see some dragons and sea monsters painted on ancient Roman pottery. The legends abound all over the world. They do not seem to be connected to each other, but each telling of its own place. We have the story of St. George and the Dragon; there is the reference regarding Alexander the Great of his army disturbing some giant monster in a cave on their way to India. The American Indian thunderbird may very well be one of the ancient flying reptiles. An excellent essay by Lourella Rouster is "The Footprints of Dragons," at http://rae.org/dragons.html
A couple of pages which chronicle a bit the possible existence of monsters in Europe are dragon myths from Austria http://www.strangescience.net/stdino2.htm page includes two paintings of dragons from the seventeenth century that are quite interesting!
Doug Sharp, whose webpage "Revolution Against Evolution" has Rouster's essay, also carries the following: http://rae.org/tuba.html
The Rhamphorhynchoid Pterosaur -- Scaphognathus crassirostris: A "Living Fossil" Until the 17th Century All in all, then, there is reason to doubt the evolutionist timeline that says dinosaurs -- or the dragons -- died out before man ever arrived. There is simply too much evidence in stone, art, writing, and legend which contradicts that idea

Same purpose as the other animals.

We still have many dinosaurs with us today, only because the environment has changed since the flood, they do not grow that large.

Before the flood things lived much longer (humans lived up to 969 years) and reptiles never stop growing. If a reptile were to live for 200 years imagine how large they would become.

Since humans lived an extremely long time and were much more intelligent, they could have had time to perfect genetic engineering. They might have messed with the created herbivore dinosaurs.

That same question applies to all lifeforms that have come and gone before the dawn of man. Don't confuse the issue by singling out the dinosaurs.

They probably carved out the first roads for other animals to walk on, and the giant beavers gave us our inland water highways. Of coure the animals would stick close to the non meat eating dinosaurs.

they seem to you purposless. but you don't know much about them in relation to the real life of dinasours.
here are some benefits:
1.Petroleum and natural gas
2.Studying the geological changes of earth by the help of their fossils.
3.Trying to understand how life started,

read this verse from the qur'an and tru to understand it:
"Say (O Muhammad): Travel in the land and see how He originated creation, then Allah bringeth forth the later growth. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things." (29:20)

He knew that paleontologists would need jobs.


Also, even though light from stars millions of light years away could not possibly reach us in 6000 years, he went ahead and sped up all that light, so that astronomers would have something cool to look at.

Now, worship him, and give him 10% of your earnings, or he will burn you in hell for the rest of eternity.

I don't know about you... but that makes perfect sense to me!

God, in his wisdom invented the fly
and then forgot to tell us why.
Then we thought he was getting wiser
That was when he invented the spider.

Evolution is the cause, not god.
