Christians, creationists, do believe in dinosaurs?

Question

I ask the question earlier about how old the earth is. Creationist
say about 6000 years old. Evolutions say about 4.5 billion and
dinosaurs died off about 65 million years ago. So, if your a
creationists you would have to believe the earth is a lot older.
Also, man did not exist during the dinosaur era, so was
Adam and Eve created before or after the dinosaur era?

Answer 1

They believe that the Flintstones is based on a true story. They believe that dinosaurs and man lived together at the same time (though evidence points otherwise).

Answer 2

We lived with them is the only possible explanation. One is mentioned in the book of Job. I believe it was behemoth or leviathan. The description is that of a Brontosaurus can't spell what it really is. The other is possibly the T-Rex. Brontosaurus is not real it is a Apatasaurus really or something like that. There is a place in Colorado that has both man prints and dinosaur tracks on top of each other and walking side by side. man prints on top of dino tracks and vice versa. Millions of years do not fit anywhere here is proof. Find a million year old tree please alive today. The oldest tree on record is the Methuselah Tree it is around 7,500 years old. Tell me why did we change daylight savings time? we changed when it starts and when it finishes. We also increased our day. This would mean the Earth was spinning faster in the past. That also shows that we are slowing down. If we were going faster in the past that would make the days shorter. How fast do you suppose we would be spinning just going back 1 million years? How fast would we be going if it we go further back? If you ever rode on a merry-go-round you would know the faster you spin the harder it is to stay on. How short was our day and would it be possible to withstand all that centrifical force if the Earth were millions of years old? As far as how they ended up in Job the reason is is because they were on the ark. That is how they made it pass the flood. They did not take full grown dinosaurs they took the eggs or the young. They no longer exist cause the world changed. There was double atmospheric pressure before the flood. After the flood the canopy of water that covered the Earth was used to create the flood then ran off and formed the caps and also the springs of the Earth. The dinosaurs could not get as big anymore cause they would not be able to breath due to their massive size. Life spans started getting shorter due to the protection from the canopy of water no longer existed so we started being dosed with radiation which shortened our life span as well.

Answer 3

There are different types of "creationists", with different views. Sticking to a literal interpretation of the Bible is not always appropriate, and I believe, as a Christian, that many of these supposed contradictions and problems with harmonizing the Bible and science (for when they are both entirely understood, there will be no contradiction... until then, we continue to question) can be resolved with some careful thought and consideration.

Check the source below. Of what I read from it, it makes sense to me.

And to answer your questions directly, yes, dinosaurs did exist. This does not conflict with the Biblical record unless you insist on interjecting a rigid, literal interpretation where there need not be one. And man did exist during the dinosaur era... or, maybe man did not (there is no contradiction either way, as far as I know). Finally, Adam and Eve must have been created during or after the dinosaur era, since animals were created first, and man last.

God bless.

Answer 4

Sure. Dinosaurs may have existed. Also maybe the Unicorn, too. Who knows.

Time is a relative commodity.

Carl Sagan proposed that Man was created in the first minute of the first hour of the last day of the first Cosmic Month.

The Bible states God created animals before man, hence your Dinosaurs are there in the 5th day. Man was created on the 6th day and then God rested on the 7th day.

We can therefore assume that Man could have been created or at least finished in the last minute of 11pm just prior to midnight of the 7th day.

Now, if you do your math on the age of the universe, CArl Sagan's Cosmic Month and God's Cosmic Week, you find you get the same approximate answers.

Remember something Einstein said about time.

If you are 18 and live on Earth, your mother is 36 and takes a trip around Alpha Centarui at about half the speed of light. When she returns to you on Earth yo are 38 and she is 37.

Answer 5

Not all Christians are creationsts.....

But here's an interesting point. If you consider the concept of time dilation from Einstein's theory of relativity, it's kind of interesting to consider the "6 days" quoted in the Bible for the creation of the universe. Basically, time dilation shows that there is a big difference in the time observed from the perspective of two objects traveling at different rates. When these different rates of travel are close to the speed of light, the time dilation is huge.

Well, when the big bang occured, the particles were moving very quickly (close to the speed of light). So, if you take the theory of relativity into account, each of the "days" of creation (standing from the perspective outside of earth - say "God's" perspective)actually took billions or millions of years from the perspective of someone ON the earth (i.e. the "earth's" perspective). As the expansion of the universe slowed, each "day" shortened, and if you do the math, the "six days" of "creation" actually line up pretty well with the billions, millions, and thousands of years science proclaims it took for the universe and earth to be "created" - well from the "earth's" perspective, anyway.

Cheers!

Answer 6

Do you realize that Adam and Eve people that lived back in those days were giants and not our miniature height? Indeed dinosaurs lived while people lived. However, they were destroyed during the flood.
speaking of flood that water was on the earth for a while after the rain stopped. Just think of the wrinkling effect water has on you while soaking for a little bit while swimming or even in the bath tub. well, that water was soaking everything on the earth much longer than a few hours.
Therefore, I can see why evolutionist are so misled into thinking the earth is so old.

Answer 7

The Bible speaks of dinosaur-like animals living on the earth at the same time as man. Be aware that the name "dinosaur" is a modern name given to these wonderous animals.

Scientific evidence has long been suspect. The "old earth" theory is just as unproven as the theory of evolution.

Answer 8

Dinosaurs were referred to in the Bible (Job 40) Some people think the behemoth it is a elephant or rhino but the Bible said it had a tail 'like a cedar'...thats describes a dino most likely.
Dino tracks have been found in the same layer of bedrock as human footprints in Texas and many other places. Evolutionists turn their backs to this proof because it proves they are following a lie.

Answer 9

well, Biblically, animals were created in the five days before man, so technically dinosaurs came first.

in Job, which is the furthest back dating book in the Bible, there is mention of ythe leviathan and the bohemoth- dionsaurs.

and I think there were dinosaurs, simply because there's nothing to suggest really that those big bones are fake or were enlarged or something.

Answer 10

I say man and dinosaur coexisted but much longer than 6000 years ago. Mainstream science is almost as bad as religion in that nothing new can be proposed without being ridiculed under the table. At this point so many people's careers depend on them being right it isn't even funny. It's just a bunch of scientists patting each other on the back.
