How do you explain the time line between dinosaurs and Adam and Eve?

Question

The fossils of some of these giant reptiles are proof they existed. They can't be denied their place in the planets history. I have never heard of anyone trying to explain this matter. Anyone have an educated guess or explaination?
By all means educate me.

Meat eaters in a garden,hmmmm ok

Answer 1

Um...

Dinosaurs are real and can be proven by science....

Adam and Eve are a fictional account of how people came to be, written by men who lived long before science could show how we are "created".

Therefore, there is no time line between them. There's reality (dinosaurs) and fiction (Adam and Eve--creation story).

Answer 2

Taken from an article I wrote:

Many state that if the Big Bang were true, then it is in direct conflict with the Bible's six day account in Genesis. Yet in Hebrew, "day" means "yom", which has been translated to mean a specific period of time and not to be confused with a solar day. (39) Christian tradition also agree's with this concept, as pointed out by the first century writers; Philo and Josephus. (40) Other writers include: Augustine (41), second century apologist and martyr; Irenaeus, third century apologist; Origen, fourth century bishop of Caesarea; Basil, thirteenth century; Thomas Aquinas. (42) In the twentieth century, this position was held by C.T. Scofield, A.H. Strong, and Gleason Archer.

There are also scripture references that gives a general sense of a time consuming process; including ages:

Psalm 104
Proverbs 8:22-31
Ecclesiastes 3:11a
Micah 6:3
Habakkuk 3:6

Genesis was not written specifically about when and how the universe was created, but who created it! Psalms 111:2 states "Great are the works of the Lord; they are studied by all who delight in them!"

It would be deceptive of God's character to create a universe that would appear to be billions of years old and yet be only six solar days. Starlight can only travel so fast. For the span of the universe to be thirty billion light years across; the universe must be pretty old! This suggestion does not necessarily mean that the biblical concept of Genesis would agree with Darwin's evolutionary dogmas either. However, science and the Bible agree that planets and other animals were created first and that man and mammals were created last.

Answer 3

It was on the same day that God created man and woman (Adam and Eve) when he created animals (wild or not wild animals) which is on the sixth day of his creation.. The time when both were created was not stated in the bible.

Created on the first day - Heaven and earth
Second day - space which called b y God as Heaven
and the ocean and Sea or water.
Third day - creation of the land and waters, plants and
tress
Fourth day -separation of night and day and the sun
and the moon and all other stars
Fifth day - reptiles in sea or ocean and all swimming
fishes. and birds.
Sixth day - land and animals of different kinds, man and
woman and everything that is on land.
seventh day -God finished the creation and He took a
rest and made the 7th day as Holy because that was the day when he rested.

Read the bible Old Testament, Genesis Chapter 1.

Answer 4

No problem, the manuscripts are quite clear about what happened. The earth is not 6000 years old, lets start with that.
BEFORE Adam and Eve came on the scene, there was another earth age. We live in the second earth age, called the flesh age, and there is one more after this one, that some call "eternity". There are three
earth ages in all, and you can read of them in 2peter of your Bible.
When you read in Genesis 1, you are not reading of the first creation of the earth;
you are reading of God's rejuvinating the earth to ready it for flesh habitation. It needed to be refurbished, because it was destroyed in the last earth age, when satan rebelled and caused a great war. God destroyed that earth age rather than to destroy those children that followed along with satan. The earth stood still for countless billions of years, but a thousand years is as one day in the spirit, so to God it hasn't been sitting unused for a long time;
anyway, when you read Genesis 1: "In the beginning, God created the Heaven and the Earth". There's a period after "earth". Now when did it say he did that? He didn't. Just "in the beginning". There is an entire earth age contained in that one verse.
During that time between the first earth age, and this one, the second, the earth stood silent. God had totally destroyed everything in what is called "Tuhu" which means utterly destroyed, no life left of any sort. The earth during this time was left to its own natural processes. During that time we know what happened with God: Satan was judged and condemned to death, and Gods children were being set up with a plan to save them since many followed satan during the war, and many others stayed neutral not caring either way. Only one group stayed loyal on Gods side, and those were named his "elect", and were also judged and found
favorable to God. As far as what was happening on the earth at that time, we know that animal and insect life ocurred and the dinosaurs, etc. The Book of Job speaks about those animals that have tails as long as a mountain, and can stand at the foot of the mountain, while grazing on the top of the mountain, etc.
When you read Genesis, God is refurbishing the earth, and then God created a flesh body for each of the souls of his children to come thru this age one time and make an ultimate decision of who they would follow: Christ or Satan.
I've been as concise as possible, but hope I
explained it in a way you understand:
this is what the manucripts say about the earth ages (some of it, theres lots of info)
Its up to you whether to believe it.

Answer 5

the dinosaurs actually existed ... there never were and never will be talking snakes or Adam and Eve. It's only a fictional way of expressing ideas much like the morality play of the greeks . don't people understand that the writers of the bible were numerous and taken to many forms of literature.eg,such as poetry ;solomon,letters;StPaul,Stories and Parables the apostles. and so forth. this so called book is not even a book but a tome consisting of many books .feel a little more edified? hope I was helpful ....,peace out and be kind

Answer 6

The creative "days" in Genesis were not 24-hour-long days. In the Bible, a "day" can denote an unspecified period of time. Even in English, we have the phrase "Back in his day.."

Based on the fossil record and other evidence, the creative days could very well have spanned millions of years each in length. It's possible that the dinosaurs were created on the fifth "day" and died out sometime during the sixth, before the creation of man.

Answer 7

Well, the oldest human skeleton is 2 million years old. I think God wiped out all the dinosaurs with some extreme power that no one on earth here knows, which is why no one can figure out how all the dinosaurs just died at the same time.

Answer 8

From what I've heard, creationists believe that dinosaurs were in the garden of eden, co-existing with all the other animals, living 5,000 years ago, and that all the science of carbon dating of fossils is wrong.

Answer 9

It's very simple indeed.
Dinosaurs are real creatures which lived millions of years ago.
Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, along with the account of creation, is the greatest parable in that marvellous book called Bible, a wonderful parable.

Answer 10

Dinosaurs were after Adam and Eve's creation. They may have been around the same time.
