What do people who believe in christianity think about dinosaurs?

Question

I'm curious.

Answer 1

I do not see a connection. Why could there not have been dinosaurs. They do not, in anyway, prove the bible was false. How do they? If you mean by Christians, people who read and appreciate the bible. Christians follow Jesus of Nazareth, called the Christ. Other people believe in the Bible, Jews, Muslims etc. The inference you are trying to make is that they are not mentioned in the bible? Why not? God made all the creatures that fly crawl and walk the land. I forgot which day, but then a day has never been fully explained. So any attempts at levity or attack should be tempered with knowledge.

Answer 2

If God had created them they would have been on the ark. If man was created in God's image then they were probably pretty smart. It is my guesstamation that they had DNA splicing down to an art form and that mankind "created" dinosaurs. This is why God left them out of the Ark. But why Noah didn't kill those two mosquitoes I'll never know.

and for those who say that man and dinosaurs didn't co-exist I have a friend who has molds of the original footprints of a man and a dinosaur that were found in the same bedrock layer!!!

Answer 3

The Bible talks approximately super creatures. some Christians do no longer deny evolution... they have not have been given any dispute with the belief of dinosaurs (Catholicism, for occasion). some Christians have confidence that the earth is 6000 yrs previous... some think of dinosaurs and human beings walked facet by using facet however the dinosaurs died interior the flood. i assume noah could no longer greater healthful any on the ark. some Christians have confidence dinosaurs nonetheless exist interior the deep, darkish jungles of africa and south u . s . of america. I swear; i'm no longer kidding. some Christians have confidence that dinosaurs have in no way existed and that their bones are in simple terms issues devil made and concealed international extensive to trick human beings into believing in evolution. back, i'm ineffective severe.

Answer 4

What of them? They're mentioned in the Bible too. You see there was a flood and the Dino's got wiped out. Luckily they were instantly entombed in yards and yards of silt and mud, which preserved their bones only to have some pea-brain come along, dig 'em up, and declare that they have been given authority to name, date, classify, and worship their said fossilized bones.

Let me be the voice of the Dino and say to the scientists who proclaim that they know the story of the dinosaur: what it ate, where it roamed, when it lived, when it died, How they were created, etc, etc, and so forth. And I quote, "You know absolutely nothing. What you do know is based on your own pitiful, faulty assumptions. You guess and proclaim that guess as fact to the whole world. Your little click believes you, but I know the truth about my end. It wasn't billions of years ago, it was several thousand years ago. That time thing really cracks me up. Me and my homies get a good laugh at your 'educated' guessing. I remember I was eating some grass and I looked up and sure I noticed the sprinkles of rain...I'd never seen 'em before, but hey, I thought they'd go away. Well, anyway Stinky, my brother, was just about to snag the last of the good stuff and we both heard the roar and then saw the wave of wet stuff come rushing at us. The flash flood that came ripping through our valley was mesmerizing! You see, we aren't rocket scientists or anything, but we did say to each other, 'What the hell is that!.' The water was coming up from under the ground and it was pouring from out of the sky, at the same time! Well, me and the Stinkster looked at each other and the last thing I remember is all the mud closing in around me....and then I died. Only to be woken up by some know-it-all in a white lab coat complete with pocket protector. He's digging and picking away at my bones like they're going out of style. Why won't you fools let me rest!!"

Answer 5

When I was quite young, I was told that the scientists had no proof that those bones were supposed to go in that order or what the dinosaurs looked like. Then, as I got older, I was told that god did create the dinosaurs but then killed them all off. Apparently, when it says 'god created the world in seven days,' those were seven of god's days and thus each day was a million years or more. Thus, the dinosaurs were created and then killed off in one of these million year days.

Answer 6

Dinosaurs existed for sure, just not millions of years ago. There is a fantastic site by scientists that explains a lot about the beliefs of many Christians regarding dinosaurs.

Answer 7

Interesting animals.

Job 40
15 "Look at the behemoth, [a]
which I made along with you
and which feeds on grass like an ox.

16 What strength he has in his loins,
what power in the muscles of his belly!

17 His tail [b] sways like a cedar;
the sinews of his thighs are close-knit.

18 His bones are tubes of bronze,
his limbs like rods of iron.

* Tail like a cedar, eats grass.... sounds like an diplodocus or similar beast.

Recently they found a T-rex bone that the red blood cells were still intact, this suggested that the age was much more recent than had been suggested by scientists.

I have include 2 very different views and the important thing is not who is right about dinosaurs but that they are both in agreement in that Jesus came and died for the sins of mankind so they would be accepted by God into heaven.

Answer 8

Depends on the type of church they go to. I attended congregations that acknowledged that they did live and roam the earth at one time. My sister claimed they never existed because she had no answer to how they could live before man. Her church taught that the devil planted the bones here to deceive us and the oil was not from the dinosaurs. She told me I was going to hell because I was teaching my children that the dinosaurs did esixt.

Answer 9

They were real at one time. The best guess is they were all destroyed during the flood of Noah's time. The bible makes reference to tanniyn, behemoth and leviathan which are usually translated dragon, serpent, sea monster, great creature and yes, dinosaur.

Answer 10

Just read Job 41
