The Bible The Dinosaur?

Question

In the beginning God created the heavens and earth 1st day and at the end he created man and women,wheres the dinosaurs come in at.It was no earth befor he created it,and he created man when he created earth days later,so man and dinosaurs didn't live on earth the same time and if so all man would be destroyed when all dinosaurs were destroyed.So whats the deal is the bible fake or dinosaurs or what, did the dinosaurs live in space or what,somebody please explain.

Answer 1

It's just a story, a myth, like any other culture's creation myth. Every religion has one and they are equally (in)valid.

Answer 2

--First of all a day can stand for a great amount of time or a 24 hr. period.

--(2 Peter 3:8) “. . .However, let this one fact not be escaping YOUR notice, beloved ones, that one day is with Jehovah as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.”

--When you are talking about the DAY of the dinosaur do you MEAN a 24 hr. day or the time of the dinosaur--some thousands of years old as the Bible indicates. Please note what could have been among the Creation of the fishes of the sea:

(Genesis 1:20-21) “20 And God went on to say: “Let the waters swarm forth a swarm of living souls and let flying creatures fly over the earth upon the face of the expanse of the heavens.” 21 And God proceeded to create the great sea monsters and every living soul that moves about, which the waters swarmed forth according to their kinds, and every winged flying creature according to its kind. And God got to see that [it was] good. . .”

--DID YOU NOTE the reference to the a "GREAT SEA MONSTERS"----this could include the dinosaurs.

--So then because God can determine the length of Day as he wishes to apply:

--For instance scientists indicate that the earth is about 4-5 billion years old---THE BIBLE HAS NO DISAGREEMENT WITH THAT. ----But there are many religions that refute that.

Well, anyway ---Scientists indicate that they cannot imagine how old the universe is, and that they might never know.

YET there is the idea that God created the universe and the earth is included in the context---SO DOES THAT MAKE THE UNIVERSE--only 5 billion years old?

--(Genesis 2:4) “4 This is a history of the heavens and the earth in the time of their being created, in the day that Jehovah God made earth and heaven.”

---SO WHAT--we have here is that the earth is distinctly standing with the universe as something special and is included in the length up to the creating of the earth---which could be trillions of trillion of trillions of years, and more!

--Hope this might have been of help!

Answer 3

I will answer this from what I USED to believe.
I used to believe in genesis, and for a while I had a hard time with believing in dinosaurs and everything.
Perhaps god did not create the earth in SIX days, but a much longer period of time? A literal interpretation of genesis might not be the best idea. If god used evolution to create all the animals, then it's quite plausible that there were creatures (like dinosaurs) that died off.

Answer 4

Dinosaurs were on the earth but the numbers tell you man was greater in numbers.

Answer 5

Doesn't it mention something in there about creating the animals first, and then creating man?

Some of the animals simply didn't make it to the sixth day.
