did dinisours really exist?

Answer 1

Yes, of course---why do you have any doubt?

Answer 2

The fossil remains of dinosaur bones tell us that at sometime in the past, such creatures roamed the Earth.

This is seen as being at odds with the biblical creation story, which states that God created life in seven days. Other calculations done over the centuries lead people to believe and teach that Creation happened about 6 or 7 thousand years ago. According to that theory, didnosaurs and other fossiled creatures should be impossible, because they are far older that a mere 6000 yrs.

Creationists then go on to spend a lot of time trying to refute the accuracy of carbon dating and other scientific techniques used to establish the age of a fossil.

I have never had a problem reconciling the two issues. There isn't anything in the bible that refutes the existence of dinosaurs (it isn't concerned with dinosaurs, its about people and God).The bible starts at creation and states clearly that prior to creation the "earth was without form and void". In other words, its was a mess. So its very possible that for thousands of years prior to creation, all sorts of wonderful creatures inhabited the earth, including some that were very much like us modern humans.

Answer 3

Yeah! I've seen them on TV in a series called "Living with Dinosaurs" [or some such name]. They existed alright and you can see some of their skeletons in the Natural History Museum right here in London.

The largest flying dino lived in Texas [where else] it had a wing span about the same as a modern day jet fighter. Stay well away from them.

Strange as it may seem, interest in dinosaurs is one of those weird world-wide phenomena. Any kid aged 5 to 10 is into dinos big time. Is this the reason for the interest in Godzilla, do you think?

Answer 4

Ok, i could do a few things here:

1. Call you stupid
2. Give you a simple yes or no answer
3. Explain why they existed
4. IMPROVISE


I think i'll chose......4!

Look man, how could you think they arent? If you don't know dinosaurs (not dinisours) existed, then you are either 2, stupid, blind, deaf, or all of the above. They have fossils, movies, museums, and books that prove dinosaurs existed, the only thing we havent figured out for sure is how they were wiped out.

Answer 5

Oh... how I hate living in Kansas! Just for the record... this why I am all for teaching evolution in schools! Yes, the dinosaurs did really exist. That is why we have bones and fossils they are the proof that they existed.

Note: To all you bible belt creationists, crazy, fanatic people here; in my home state. This question is exactly why we need to teach truthful science in school...You bible thumpers are confusing our kids...It people like you, who make people think everyone in Kansas are dumb hicks!

Answer 6

This isn't a history question, but either way they did. Fossils prove it, and they fit into evolution. They live on in the birds, as the birds evolved from dinosaurs.

Answer 7

Yes, dinosaurs really did exist...although they've changed a lot since I was a kid.

Answer 8

Erm....Obviously.. Because They Have Fossils Derrr! Lol No Offence But Why Would you think of wasting points on that! lol

Answer 9

Of course, we have absolute proof in the form of fossils. there is absolutely no doubt that they existed.

Answer 10

Its all relative, theres evidense to prove that there were creatures that scientists named'dinosaurs' that lived on the eath before we did, however a creationist would say...
GOD PUT THEM THERE THE WORLD WAS CREATED IN 7 DAYS 3-TOED SLOTHS HAVE ALWAYS HAD 3-TOES AND YOU WILL GO TO HELL FOR THINKING UNCLEAN THOUGHTS......*distant sound of bone clunking against wood...*

Answer 11

--Sure did!
--Your doubt may be because we have no direct representation of an example, even though evolutionists try to present the aligator, crockodile, kamodo dragon etc. as types.

Please note the Biblical reference and idea:

*** g90 2/8 p. 11 What Happened to the Dinosaurs? ***

The Genesis Account and Dinosaurs

While the radioactive dating method is innovative, it is still based on speculation and assumption. In contrast, the Bible account in the first chapter of Genesis simply states the general order of creation. It allows for possibly thousands of millions of years for the formation of the earth and many millenniums in six creative eras, or “days,” to prepare the earth for human habitation.

Some dinosaurs (and pterosaurs)MAY INDEED (my caps) have been created in the fifth era listed in Genesis, when the Bible says that God made “flying creatures” and “great sea monsters.” Perhaps other types of dinosaurs were created in the sixth epoch. The vast array of dinosaurs with their huge appetites would have been appropriate considering the abundant vegetation that evidently existed in their time.—Genesis 1:20-24.

When the dinosaurs had fulfilled their purpose, God ended their life. But the Bible is silent on how he did that or when. We can be sure that dinosaurs were created by Jehovah for a purpose, even if we do not fully understand that purpose at this time. They were no mistake, no product of evolution. That they suddenly appear in the fossil record unconnected to any fossil ancestors, and also disappear without leaving connecting fossil links, is evidence against the view that such animals gradually evolved over millions of years of time. Thus, the fossil record does not support the evolution theory. Instead, it harmonizes with the Bible’s view of creative acts of God."

*** g90 2/8 pp. 4-5 Discovering ‘The Great Reptiles’ of the Past ***

When Did They Live?

Dinosaurs played a dominant role in life on earth during their age. But then they came to an end. The rock layers containing human fossils consistently occur above those layers containing dinosaur fossils. Because of this, scientists generally conclude that humans came on the earthly scene later.

In this regard the book Palaeontology, by James Scott, states: “Even the earliest species of Homo sapiens (man) lived long after the disappearance of the dinosaurs . . . After tilting (through earth movement) has been allowed for, rocks containing fossil men consistently occur above those preserving the bones of the great dinosaur reptiles and it follows that the latter belong to an earlier age than the human remains.”

In the Red Deer River valley, there is a layer of sedimentary rock that contains dinosaur bones. Just above this, there is a purplish-brown layer that follows the contour of the hillside. On top of the purplish-brown layer is a layer of brownish siltstone containing fossils of subtropical ferns, indicating a hot climate. Above this, there are several layers of coal. Farther up the hillside are coarser-grained layers of earth. There are no dinosaur bones in any of the higher layers.

The book A Vanished World: The Dinosaurs of Western Canada states that “all of the 11 major kinds of dinosaurs . . . ceased to exist in the western interior at about the same time.” This, and the fact that human bones have not been found with dinosaur bones, is why most scientists conclude that the Age of Dinosaurs ended before humans came on the scene.

However, it should be noted that there are some who say that dinosaur bones and human bones are not found together because dinosaurs did not live in areas of human habitation. Such differing views demonstrate that the fossil record does not yield its secrets so easily and that no one on earth today really knows all the answers."

HERE IS AN INTERESTING -comment made by an Geologist/Archaeologist:

*** g90 10/22 p. 30 From Our Readers ***

Dinosaurs As an archaeologist and geologist, I quite enjoyed the Awake! articles on dinosaurs. (February 8, 1990) With regard to the time of their disappearance, the articles stated that human fossils occur in rock layers well above those containing dinosaur fossils and that there are rock layers in between. In many parts of the world, these intervening rock layers, or strata, also contain fossils. Many new varieties, or kinds, of animals appear in these layers, such as elephants, saber-toothed cats, and several varieties of flightless running birds. This would strongly suggest that God was still creating new animals after the dinosaurs were gone and that the dinosaurs disappeared during the sixth creative epoch.

G. S., Canada

The Bible does not specify the time of either the creation or the disappearance of dinosaurs. Nevertheless, the comments of G. S. are of interest.—ED.
