How do creationists reconcile Dinosaur fossils?

Answer 1

Most creationists claim that dinosaurs existed at the same time as people. They actually believe that the carbon dating method is flawed because there was this extra layer of atmosphere that used to block ultraviolet radiation (which also caused people to live longer - thereby explaining all of the people in the bible who lived hundreds of years).

They base all of these wonderful findings on nothing whatsoever. No facts, no independently verifiable experiments. Just faith in their book.

Pseudoscience at its lowest.

Answer 2

God created the Heavens and Earth in 6 days. He created Dinosaurs and Dragons. The Bible talks about them. There are scientists alive today who have seen fossilized prints of man and dinosaurs alongside each other. Why don't we hear about these discoveries? A dinosaur fossil bone was sent to a lab for carbon dating, and returned with a date of a few thousand years. When the lab returned the bone and ask what it was from, the lab was then told it was part of a dinosaur found in the US. They immediately replied that they must have been mistaken, that it was millions of years old. Why the big cover up? There are many scientists today who believe in the Biblical account of Creation.

Answer 3

Actually, dinosaurs are mentioned in the Bible.

The Bible refers to many the common animals known today. The list includes lions, wolves, bears, sheep, cattle and dogs along with various kinds of birds, rodents, reptiles, and insects. Also on the list (in the original Hebrew language) are tanniyn, behemowth (yes, it’s spelled correctly—at least as close as possible using Roman characters), and livyathan.

Although the spelling of behemoth and Leviathan have been altered slightly, those same words are in bibles today. However, tanniyn is always translated into another word when written in English. Tanniyn occurs 28 times in the Bible and is normally translated “dragon.” It is also translated “serpent,” “sea monster,” “dinosaur,” “great creature,” and “reptile.” Behemoth and Leviathan are relatively specific creatures, perhaps each was a single kind of animal. Tanniyn is a more general term, and it can be thought of as the original version of the word “dinosaur.” The word “dinosaur” was originally coined in 1841, more than three thousand years after the Bible first referred to “Tanniyn.” To make things clearer, we constructed the following table comparing the scientific names with the Biblical names tanniyn, behemoth, and Leviathan.

Answer 4

no religious person debates that there were dinosaurs what we debate is the how long ago they died out.Behemoth has the following attributes according to Job 40:15-24


It “eats grass like an ox.”
It “moves his tail like a cedar.” (In Hebrew, this literally reads, “he lets hang his tail like a cedar.”)
Its “bones are like beams of bronze,
His ribs like bars of iron.”
“He is the first of the ways of God.”
“He lies under the lotus trees,
In a covert of reeds and marsh.”
also the Leviathan has the following attributes according to Job chapter 41, Psalm 104:25,26 and Isaiah 27:1. This is only a partial listing—just enough to make the point.


“No one is so fierce that he would dare stir him up.”
“Who can open the doors of his face, with his terrible teeth all around?”
“His rows of scales are his pride, shut up tightly as with a seal; one is so near another that no air can come between them; they are joined one to another, they stick together and cannot be parted.”
“His sneezings flash forth light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. Out of his mouth go burning lights; sparks of fire shoot out. Smoke goes out of his nostrils, as from a boiling pot and burning rushes. His breath kindles coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth.”
“Though the sword reaches him, it cannot avail; nor does spear, dart, or javelin. He regards iron as straw, and bronze as rotten wood. The arrow cannot make him flee; slingstones become like stubble to him. Darts are regarded as straw; he laughs at the threat of javelins.”
“On earth there is nothing like him, which is made without fear.”
Leviathan “played” in the “great and wide sea” (a paraphrase of Psalm 104 verses 25 and 26—get the exact sense by reading them yourself).
Leviathan is a “reptile [a] that is in the sea.” (Isaiah 27:1)

plus don't you find it odd that every culture has a version of dragons including those that had no contact with the Western wold like the Incas and the Aztecs

and i love the the whole cloud of ash theory science would have u believe lol if a cloud of Ashe blocked out the sun for that long the mammals would have died off to duh lol

Answer 5

"God created the world in 7 days, and the anilmasl (including dinosaurs) were on earth before Adam and Eve. One day to God is like a million years to us."

This is basically the explanation I have gotten from a friend who believe is creation.

Answer 6

They don't, they ignore it ever happened or say it's some kind of test. I recall a discussion I had with an atheist-turned Christian who challenged me to give proof for evolution, I duly responed with "fossils" and he rejected them as proof. The Falklands war f****d him up badly.

Answer 7

I think they call them dinosaur fossils, referring to the beasts mentioned in the Bible

Answer 8

Since God created the dinosaurs and found cause to wipe them out for what ever reason He may have had. what is there to be reconciled to?

Answer 9

The devil did it.
They are reptilian bones.
Its god's test.


And anything else they can come up with.

And the point isn't some coincidental ressemblance in a passage in the bible the point is bones that are at least 65 million years old.
