God and Dinosaur ?

Question

How does the bible and dinousaurs tie into each other? If god created the heavens and earth and the dinosaur bones are dated before him what happened?

Answer 1

We do not know how long a day is to God. In one place in the scriptures it says that 1000 years to us is as a day to God. I don't know how literal that it. Could be longer. So when the Bible says that the earth was created in 6 days, who knows how long that really was in human time.

Adam and Eve were the final creation of God. He created them only after the rest of his creations were completed. In fact, the Bible states that Satan appeared to Eve having taken the form of a snake. Only after the snake had successfully tempted Eve was the snake told he would crawl on his belly for the rest of time. Did dinosaurs exist before that point? I don't know. It may be that God realized that dinosaurs and man would not be able to co-habitate on the same planet and for this reason he caused the dinosaur population to "disappear"

Answer 2

God created the dinosaurs on the 6th day of creation. The dinosaur bones are dated by scientists who are not right in their dating. Have you ever wondered why there are lists in the Bible such as: Seth begat Enos, who begat Cainan, etc.......These lists are there so we can trace the history of the world back to the beginning. People ask why the name "dinosaur" isn't in the Bible. It is because the KJV was not translated from Greek and Hebrew into English until 1611. And the word "dinosaur" was not coined until 1841. But you can find words in the Bible that describe what we would consider a dinosaur. The word "dragon" is used several times in the Bible and if you read those verses, it describes our "dinosaurs". The verses discuss dragons on land, in the sea and in the air.....
Because we are descendants of Adam, we are sinners just like him. Our very nature is such that we don't really want to listen to God's Word. That's why it so easy to be led astray by evolutionists teaching such as millions of years of history. The fact is that scientists, like everyone else, are sinners. They don't want to believe. It has nothing to do with evidence.
So, the connection between God and dinosaurs is that God created them. God DID create the heavens and the earth, and the dinosaur bones DO NOT pre-date God......

Answer 3

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 4

properly, i've got faith you're a dash wrong. If what you say is authentic, then human beings could be suitable for the reason that God would not make errors...yet human beings be able to make errors, so human beings should not be suitable. despite if, to respond to your question, God in all threat destroyed the dinosaurs so as that guy could take over thousands and thousands of years later, through fact guy is far less imperfect than the dinosaurs.

Answer 5

Well the bible speaks of there being great beasts walking the earth.

It doesnt go into detail cause well, t-rex didnt really play in to the salvation plan...sorry but at least he got a good movie role out of it.

As for pre-dating, according to the bible there was enough water to cover the entire planet...heres a thought

That much water tearing up the ground and planting bones and then sitting on them for almost a year (yes it rained 40 days and nights, but it took near a year for it to 'dry up') that much pressure will age anything. So when objects get aged, they seem older than they may actually be.

Answer 6

All I want to do is respond to MAINWORRY.

You are completey using the bible out of context. Please do not take verses out and use them for your own selfish reasons.

God never ever, even once claims in the bible that there were 3 worlds. If he did, we wouldnt have to manipulate the scripture to find it. When God said he made the earth in 6 days and rested on the 7th, then thats what happened. If you are only going to believe peices of what the bible says, then you are selling yourself short.

Oh, and P.S. - Did you ever think that the part about the water was the flood?

Answer 7

Well Unfortunately religion and science just don't mix. One is faith the other fact. Not that one is better then the other but they are really apple and oranges. So therefore the Dinosaurs are just not factored into it. Probably because the dinosaurs where found after the theologies where invented.

Answer 8

The dating thing is not accurate. a scientist dated lava that was 18 seconds old. it said millions of years old. according to eveloution humans are not suppose to live with dinosaurs. Guess what they found a human foot print inside a dinosaure footprint. Hmmm. maybe dinosaurs are not as old a we think.
also there are pictures of dinosaurs that ancient aztecs drew on pottery. how would they know what they looked like?

Answer 9

There are references in the bible to creatures that may have been dinosaurs. (Behemoth, leviathan, etc.) The word "dinosaur" was not known at the time so they used other words instead. Check it out...the book of Job is one that makes mention of such creatures.

Good question indeed!

Answer 10

Dinosaurs? A trick of Satan?

No

The Bible is a myth and Dinosaurs were real
