Well, as the bible says creation took place 6,000 years ago and dinosaurs went extinct about 65,000,000 years ago, they existed well before god created the universe. Pretty amazing, heh?

An atom is the smallest part of matter. Adam was the first man, according to people who beleive the Bible literally. The Bible makes no mention of dinosaurs. If you take the Bible literally and not as a collection of stories written by many different authors in an attempt to expain the world before science was used, then the world is much younger than the scientific community beleives it to be. Scientists believe dinosaurs to have existed long before the story of Adam and Eve was supposed to have happened. So you have a paradox. You can believe that scientists are wrong and the Earth is only a few thousand years old, or you can belive that the people who wrote the Bible were wrong and that the Earth is many hundreds of millions of years old.

First, the earth is reckoned to be about 4.5 billion years old, this is not related to any biblical chronology, just science. Life developed early, about 4 billion years ago, or earlier, it then evolved into all the life we now have. Dinosaurs were a product of the evolutionary process, the last of them died out 65 million years ago, man did not appear in a recognizable hominid form until about 1 million years ago. Homo sapiens sapiens (our present form) has existed approximately 130,000 years. Recorded history, (on paper) has existed 5 to 6 thousand years. The bible is a religious book, and should not be confused with science, it has man appearing about 6 thousand years ago. Men have used religion to exploit others for all of recorded history, and arcaologicaleidence suggest that religious exploitation of man is much older.

A lot of dinosaurs were killed in the flood, Moses took two of each kind of animal on the ark.( And even more he had to eat )The word dinosaur is not in the bible but there is description of them in the old testament Leviathan,Behemoth, and Dragon. The only way bones were fossilized is that they were sealed quickly in mud by the flood and were compressed under great pressure by the water of the flood that would stop the decay.Other wise every thing decays in a short time .

Yeah, the dinosaurs were first. Adam and Eve were AFTER the dinosaurs. I surmise that it was a different Earth then and the dinosaurs reigned supreme. I don't recall the dinosaurs being mentioned in the bible so they probably have very little to do with Adam, Eve or us. The bible never says how long God waited to create human after he created the world so, there goes your theory. This has been beat to death but good effort, I guess.

Archaeologists have dated the written bible at approximately 1500 B.C. No more, no less. Carbon dating has dinosaur species at approx. 400 Million years.

Dinosaurs came before humans wrote the Bible. That's why they didn't know about them. Oops.

Adam and Eve didn't come first.
They were created on the 6th day.
God created the beasts and fish and birds and all that stuff first.
Get your facts straight.
And who is to say what a day in Heaven is? Perhaps God is awake for millions of our years and then sleeps for millions of our years, and thats his day.
