Why were Gods first creation Dinosaurs and not human beings?

Question

I know we are not God, but what do you think?

Answer 1

He created humans to take care of the world he created (this including the animals and nature)

Answer 2

God's first creation was angels. His first material creation was a lifeless universe. Living things developed much later. And a great many living creatures existed long before dinosaurs did. Dinosaurs are impressive because of their great size and other features, but really they are just one of many forms of animal life that have come into existence, and in many cases dropped out of existence since the initial creation.

As for the silly claim of dinosaur and human footprints being found in the same fossil deposits, this has been clearly identified as a hoax. But even if it were true it wouldn't change the facts of biological evolution. It would simply provide a new and scientifically exciting timeline for the evolution of primates.

Answer 3

If there is a god, then Dinosaurs were not his first creations. He would have had to creat a great many things before them. They came around pretty recently on the scale of the earth, and very recently in galatic time scale.
B

Answer 4

God's first creation was light....

Anyway, humans last because we can fellowship with God. Unlike other animals, we have free choice to decide how we do things. Animals do not have this same level of choice.

We are in both creation theory and evolutionary theory - the highest life form on the planet.

Answer 5

Dinosaurs were not the first life to exist on the planet. The first life was single celled organisms. They gradually evolved into more complex life forms. Dinosaurs are comparatively recent in a geological sense.

Answer 6

Actually, God's first creation was light.

Answer 7

He created all of the plants and animals before man. He created an environment in which man could survive before placing man on the earth.

Answer 8

Perhaps evolution and extinction were part of God's plan.

Answer 9

Read Genesis 1 and you will understand.

Answer 10

The following text is from Dr. Carl Baugh's book entitled Dinosaur: Scientific Evidence that Men and Dinosaurs Lived Together.

Chapter One

"Tracks Step on Evolution"

So ran the headlines of the Fort Worth, Texas, Star-Telegram on Thursday evening, June 17th, 1982.

The article highlighted a series of controversial points resulting from an excavation the author had directed. Did dinosaurs really die out over sixty million years ago? Were there giant humans wandering the earth at the same time as the dinosaurs? Were the tracks at the Paluxy River area of Texas genuine or had they been deliberately carved out of the rock for sale to gullible tourist?

The headline appealed to me and so the theme for this book was born. Throughout its pages, questions are answered and compelling evidence is presented to show that dinosaur and human tracks at the Paluxy River in Texas DO step on evolution. At the same time, they show forth new facts concerning the Genesis Flood.

The sedimentary rocks of Texas indeed tell a strange and intriguing story, supporting the biblical record of a worldwide flood in Noah's time (Gen. 6-9). An artifact was found in Ordovician strata near London, Texas. The stone, according to evolutionist, is over four hundred million years old yet the artifact is an iron hammer, clearly manmade. How could a manmade object have been made four hundred million years ago? What buried it in sedimentary strata deep in the heart of Texas? ( See photo page "Q" )

Or let us consider the ledges we excavated. It is Cretaceous limestone, dated by the University of Texas at one hundred eight million years. We excavated in during 1982 and, in addition to the human footprints, we found other evidences of recency. Here was carbonized material -burned plant residue of modern kind. The limestone is younger than that plant from long ago (probably only minutes younger) for that burned plant had to be burned in the middle of the limestone as it was being formed.

Our major excavation was at the Paluxy River area, four miles out of the little town of Glen Rose, Texas. Thousands of tourists visit here every year to see the state park where evidence has been brought together to show that more than a dozen different types of dinosaurs roamed these Cretaceous beds at some time in the past.

The intrigue and the mystery of this whole area has been enhanced by the many reports of human tracks, as well as dinosaur tracks, found in the strata on the area of this riverbed for more than fifty years. An eighty-nine-year-old local resident, Emmit McFall, was ever ready to show pictures and recount discoveries of both human-like tracks and dinosaur footprints. So it was on Mr. McFalls farm that our first preliminary excavation began on Monday, March 15, 1982

It should be stressed that there is considerable evidence to show that dinosaurs and human footprints have been found together by earlier excavators. One of them was Dr. Roland T. Bird from Harvard University and the American Museum of Natural History, at that time a leading geologist and paleontologist. He reported that a ledge of limestone had been ripped up in the Paluxy River area by a spring flashflood. In one of his sketches, he revealed that tracks were taken and put on display at the American Museum of Natural History, at Southern Methodist University, at the University of Texas, at Baylor University and at Brookland College. At the top of the sketch a series of human-like tracks can be seen, including a notation by Dr. Bird himself, "Single giant track to American Museum of Natural History". Thus, we find that his drawings indicate there had been earlier findings similar to those we have made in our present excavations. This has been confirmed by taped interviews with local Glen Rose residents. Charlie Moss found the first human tracks in the Paluxy riverbed in 1910. Ernest "Bull" Adams followed this trail of tracks and documented their existence. Jim Ryals and Emmit McFall found other footprints through the years. Geologist Clifford Burdick, Ph.D., verified human tracks in the 1940's. Dr. Cecil Daugherty led large groups to the prints for years. Stan Taylor, Mike Turnage, Fred Beirle, Wilbur Fields and John Morris, Ph.D., added their own documentation
