do you believe that dinosaurs were really around 20some million years ago?

Answer 1

Absolutely not! I believe the Holy Bible!

"In the beginning,God created the heavens and the earth." Man was a contemporary of all of creation, including dinosaurs.

There was no death or disease. All mammals, birds, reptiles (including dinosaurs), amphibians, etc., were plant eaters until the disobedience of Adam and Eve, which allowed sin to enter the world.!

Answer 2

lol. No. Because the dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago. Twenty million years ago there were things like mammoths and saber tooth tigers and their ancestors.

The prevaling theory is that an asteroid struck the earth in the Yucatan Peninsula (basically the area where the Louisiana and Texas shorelines join with the Mexican shorelines are). There's a great deal of evidence for the impact at that time, including the mathematical calculations for the size and speed of the asteroid and the chemical components found in the rocks as well as the upheavel of the rocks (and the accompanying tests) that went along with it.

Its NOT a guess.

Answer 3

Yes for sure, Some what older than 20 million.. I live in the state of South Australia, and I live on the edge of the Southern Flinders Ranges.. Now I know that won't mean much to people who live in the USA, but the Flinders Ranges are the oldest rocks in the World.. No not among the oldest, the oldest...That is an absolute fact, I have fossils that are hundreds of millions of years old... I think that the point of the question being posted in here is to establish whether the die hard religious types believe it as they claim that the World is only 6,000 years old..I will say this to those particular types, that there is not one scrap of proof that your God or Jesus exists.. Look at the science, This World is about 5.5 - 6 billion years old...I rest my case... Blessed Be .. )O(

Answer 4

Get a grade school science book and educate yourself. The first reptiles appeared in the Carbiniforous period 360 million years ago. Sailback reptiles showed up in the Permian period 268 million years ago and dinosaurs arrive in the Triassic period 245 million years ago. Dinosaurs died out at the end of the Cretaceous period when the meteor extinction event occurred some 65 million years ago. Reptiles and amphibians survived, but dinosaurs did not. 20 million years ago the dinosaurs had been extinct for 45 million years.

Answer 5

Mostly good intent answers precede me with the odd (very odd) claim that the earth is but 6000 years old, which is clearly deluded. Science has calculated that the earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old.
The scientific evidence is that the majority of life on earth was wiped out, some never to return, about 65 million years ago. The majority. Plant life recovered eventually, some in a modified form, and some creatures survived anyway. Sharks are but one example and their evolution since that time is also clearly evident. How close today's crocodiles and alligators are to their ancestors prior to the cataclysm that killed off so much back then, I am not quite clear but there is a subject that perhaps I would be better off examining than answering silly questions on this 'forum'. BUT it is so much fun ridiculing idiots, isn't it?

Answer 6

I don't. An asteroid impacted Earth about 65 million years ago which lead to the mass instinction of dinosaurs. 20 million years ago was the point in Earth history when mammals began to dominate the terrestial world.

Answer 7

Yes I do. The evidence is obvious with all the fossils and stuff. I belief that, although it's not written in scripture, that dinosaurs lived before humans, of course. But then when they became extinct all of a sudden, I think that was God at work. He destroyed them and then made a new Earth, universe, and everything else, including humans.

Answer 8

I can answer this; its so easy a cave man could do it {grunt/nod}

PS: Tasoula, {or anyone else who wants to say that they don't "believe" in something factual}, I have an experiment for you:
Stare at something else factual, say a chair in your home, and NOT believe in it as hard as you can, and see if you can make it go away. Get back to me if you succeed.
The Bible does not state that the earth is about 6000 yrs old; in fact, it states that it is eons old, and that there was even an earth age before this one. You can read of all three of the earth ages in second Peter.

Answer 9

Yes I believe dinosaurs existed at one time. I'm not sure how long ago it was though.

Answer 10

nope, man live with them cohesively about 5 thousand years ago.
that has to be right for it says the earth is only 7 or 8,000 years old in this old leaflet junk book we kinda found and put together.
