Question

Answer 1

Dinosaurs died millions of years ago!!??
No way.
My '61 Coupe De Ville is still running just fine, thank you.

Answer 2

Why does anybody assume that they are dinosaurs? Some of the images have been created using squares and could be any animal shape. Exactly the same as pixels on a digital camera.
It doesn't prove anything unless you wish it to since these are man made artifacts.
It is at least possible that these have some significance but more information is needed to determine exactly what significance. Have these been carbon dated, have the images been analysed as being of the same age as the substrate etc.
There are some serious worries about scale between the humans and creatures. Although the general shape may be dinosaur like the relative sizes would suggest that the creatures were not dinosaurs.
Interesting but not conclusive proof of co-existance.
Wouldn't effect evolution theory whatever the outcome because it does not hinge on the non-coexistance of dinosaurs with man. Crocodiles are effectively dinosaurs since they do not appear to have changed much in the last 200 million years but they co-exist with humans.

Answer 3

What we today call the book of Genesis in the Bible was written just over 2500 years ago and in it is the description of a type of dinosaur that lived alongside man.

How likely do you think it would be that the people living in those days would have had any kind of knowledge regarding dinosaurs if they had not seen them with their own eyes. Not only that, but pictures of dinosaurs have been found in ancient carvings within caves...even in this country. Pictures that are thought to be well over a thousand years old based on the other artifacts found at the site.

Answer 4

I think that what you are really attempting to do is put Biblical doctrine within the context of modern scientific knowledge. This is very dangerous because religion has a really bad track record against science. Galileo was ex-communicated because he said the earth revolved around the sun; it took the church 400 years to admit it was wrong. So the debate continues, evolution, dinosaurs, gays and so on. So what else is the Bible "wrong" about? At what point does one recognize that it is so flawed that faith becomes farce? When that happens mankind is liberated and myth becomes storytelling instead of fact.

Answer 5

That's pretty neat, but for bible thumpers to completely discredit scientist all of the dinosaur bones ever found would have to come from Peru.

Also radiocarbon dating is very accurate at dating fossils up to 60,000 years, so if dinosaurs were living side by side with humans their bones would have been dated as so.

Then again it could all be a hoax.

Answer 6

Get a life. They never co-existed. And quoting b/s from the www.bible.ca site is worthless.

Answer 7

Dinosaurs didn't die millions of years ago.. In reality the earth is only about 6-7,000 years old.. Scientists claim it's millions of years old because they have no idea what they're talking about. We did a Bible study on this fact in church because so many of us were confused about dinosaurs.. After learning that the earth was no where near as old as scientists and textbooks make you believe it is, it all made much more sense..

Let me add that fact that being taught all through school that the earth was millions of years old, it took me awhile to believe this, but I do. I am now upset that for the 14 years I was in school (this includes some college) that I was taught lies.. Everything makes much more sense once you learn the truth..

Answer 8

Personally, my belief on this is similar to the Hindu concept of cycles. Before Adam, Eve, and the rest of the creation, I believe that there was both another creation and ending, where God created life, let that life go on for any amount of time, then ended that time. Later, he began again...The last (or at least one of the previous) beginning probobly included dinosaurs which were underneath the barren earth that God created on top of in the latest 'beginning'.

Answer 9

I guess the dinasours were here 1st before the human race. God need to fill up the earth after the dinasours so He created human...
How about that for a theory.

Answer 10

Man and dinosaur lived at the same time. God created animals and then man. Cave pictures have been found depicting man and dinosaurs together.
