Adam was a Manifestation of God who lived about 6,000 years ago and inaugurated the Prophetic Cycle that led to the advent of Baha'u'llah. He was not the literal first man, but He was the first Prophet in recorded history.

Malone's excellent book, Search for the Truth.
Is this a scene from the blockbuster movie, Jurassic Park? It could be, but it isn't. This description, which perfectly fits an Apatosaurus, is a paraphrased description taken from one of the oldest books of the Bible, Job 40:15-24. If dinosaurs have been extinct for 65 million years, how could a writer of the Bible have accurately described the appearance, food, and habitat of this creature?
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.

An archeologist can aspect at a fossil it is 1000's of thousands of years previous and then say it is older than the bible claims, yet with the intention to get a diverse answer they might also want to have the bones of Adam and Eve and then carbon date this alongside the bones of a dinosaur. because the bones of Adam and Eve do no longer exist, the medical community is left with declaring basically that there is data that the dinosaurs exist besides the undeniable fact that the in trouble-free terms data of Adam and Eve is the tale of Genesis in the bible. No different actual actual data can again this declare up.

Depends on the dinosaur
The history of the crocodilians dates back to the Triassic period, some 230 million years ago.
Alligators and their kin are modern dinosaurs, having existed virtually unchanged for the past 65 million years.

It's a children's story.
An allegory at best.
Dinosaurs died out, what- 165 million years ago?
And Adam was born about 6,000 years ago... which was about 2,500 years after the babylonians figured out how to brew beer.
