How do creationists explain dinosaur bones?

Answer 1

The same way they explain everything. They do it the old fashioned way – they lie.

Well, at least the leadership is lying. The majority of believers are so undereducated that the do not know how determine what is true, and they are too intellectually disinterested in learning the truth to care.

They believe what they are told because they want to believe what they are told. They are afraid of the consequences of being wrong because it would cast doubt and suspicion on everything they believe and all the consider most important in life.

That is one reason they are the last holdouts still supporting America’s selfish, pathologically lying, incompetent moron President. They jumped on the savoir-on-earth crap he spun to get elected and they accepted him as the earthly embodiment of all that is Christian, American, good, righteous, and holy.

They cannot look at him objectively because he is a fabric of their faith – and they do not even want to consider the possibility that everything the think they know and believe to be true, including their religion and their god, is all false.

Answer 2

There are multiple theories that go a long with dinosaur bones, but we don't act as if they were never there lol. The theories I am familiar with is a) they died out after the fall of man, since the Garden of Eden was gone, and things all around the world began to die, and the ecosystems couldn't support dinosaurs anymore because of their large size. Another theory says that they died out after the Noah's Ark great flood stuff. There are many other theories but I don't know the details of other ones.

Answer 3

There's actually a small minority of creationists who don't even believe dinosaurs EVER existed. It's a small group, but some people actually believe that. I guess they think the bones are hoaxes or something.

The rest of creationists tend to hold the opinion that dinosaur bones are real, and that humans and dinosaurs co-existed. That's totally untrue, but some people believe it.

Answer 4

Some Creationists, such as myself, believe that the earth is old and that the Genesis creation "days" were long periods of time that spanned over billions of years. The Hebrew word yom translated as "day" can also mean "an indefinite period of time" as in Genesis 2:4. The Hebrew words for "morning" and "evening" can also mean "beginning" and "completion". There are lots of other reasons to interpret the Genesis creation "days" as long periods of time as well. I believe that God created Adam and Eve fully human however and the scientific evidence supports this even though the secular media will never admit it. Look at www.reasons.org

Answer 5

What's to explain? The bible is very clear – there were giant beasts that once roamed the earth.

The Bible refers to many the common animals we know today. The list includes lions, wolves, bears, sheep, cattle and dogs along with various kinds of birds, rodents, reptiles, and insects. What is interesting is that this extensive list includes three animals that we no longer recognize. These three are (in the original Hebrew language) tanniyn, b@hemowth (yes, it’s spelled correctly—at least as close as we can get in Roman characters), and livyathan.

Although we alter the spelling of behemoth and Leviathan slightly, we still use those same words in bibles today. However, tanniyn is always translated into another word when we write it 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 6

Gen.1:1,2; All exist and no times given, but it must be billions.

Gen.1:3-25; No time given in preparation of the existing earth, dinosaur skeletons say that a day is an age or an eon and not the times and season day created for plant life and finally applied to man time.

Answer 7

They explain them as the monsters in the bible.

This is probably true. Not that dinosaurs were around and were described but that the bones of dinosaurs caused people to believe that giants and monsters once existed. There is archaeological evidence that the Romans and Greeks felt that fossil bones represented the bones of ancient creatures and these bones were collected and displayed. It would not be a big leap to assume that older civilizations such as the Babylonians did as well.

Answer 8

Radiocarbon relationship isn't suited for time spans previous approximately a hundred,000 years. the reason of it is simply by fact there are actually not often adequate of the stuff left while in comparison with what began out to offer an precise statistical inference (that's what one does in acquiring the date). that's a proper (and straightforward) remember of information that it in basic terms makes precise inferences on "super" pattern sizes. the size of a "super" pattern is defined by the point of accuracy needed of the inference. Now, the place radiocarbon relationship could be valid related to fossils could be in sorting out the hypothesis that all people fossils are in basic terms some thousand years previous at maximum, and radio carbon relationship could be _very_ precise and incessant interior the dates that it returns for samples IF the literal biblical creation chronology have been genuine.

Answer 9

The ignorant ones who believe the earth was created in six days deny they exist.

However when your talking about days from god's perspective there's no reason for you to think there 24 hour days.
The bible tells you correctly in what order things were created and then goes on to talk about humans.Since dinosaurs existed before people the bible doesn't mention them.

There are 3 heaven and earth ages, same heaven and earth but different ages.
(II Pet.3:5-7) For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: (6) Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: (7) But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

THE WORLD THAT THEN WAS
(Gen.1:1) In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
To that earth age the world that then was, belongs all fossils and remains. Scientific estimates or guesses; universe or heavens 20 billion years old, earth 4.6 billion years old, moon 200 to 300 million years younger than earth, dinosaur extinction 65 million years ago, Ice Age 2.5 million years ago.

BEING OVERFLOWED WITH WATER PERISHED
(Gen.1:2) And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
The first word “was” (hayah) in Hebrew, was not distinguished by the Revisers, that is the verb “to be” from “to become”. The same Hebrew word “hayah” is translated “became” in Gen.2:7.
WITHOUT FORM H8414 tohu (to'-hoo) From an unused root meaning to lie waste; a desolation (of surface), that is, desert; figuratively a worthless thing; adverbially in vain: - confusion, empty place, without form, nothing, (thing of) nought, vain, vanity, waste, wilderness.
VOID H922 bohu (bo'-hoo) From an unused root (meaning to be empty); a vacuity, that is, (superficially) an undistinguishable ruin: - emptiness, void.
(GEN.1:2) AND THE EARTH BECAME DESOLATE AND EMPTY
Earth was not created that way but became desolate and empty due to Satan’s rebellion. A global overflowing of water, but not Noah’s deluge. Darkness was upon the (face) of the deep, in other words the whole earth.
Into this we can read; dinosaur extinction, destruction of Atlantis, breakup of Gondwana Land, and the Ice Age.

BUT THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH WHICH ARE NOW
(Gen.1:2) And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
(Gen.1:3) And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
About 63 A.D. Peter writes, the heavens and the earth which are now. The heaven and earth age we are in now, today.
BY THE SAME WORD ARE KEPT IN STORE
RESERVED UNTO FIRE
AGAINST THE DAY OF JUDGMENT
AND PERDITION OF UNGODLY MEN
PERDITION G684 apoleia (ap-o'-li-a) From a presumed derivative of G622; ruin or loss (physical, spiritual or eternal): - damnable (-nation), destruction, die, perdition, X perish, pernicious ways, waste.
Some will perish eternally and not see the third heaven and earth age.
