Any Theories? If God created man on the sixth day?

Question

And man did not exist during the dinosaurs reign, what happened? Did the dinosaurs only exists the first 5 days and suddenly die?
It doesn't add up.
Any theories?

Answer 1

I have no clue -- except that the fossil record proves that they did exist!

However, there is someone out there that has a specific idea, and it is extremely entertaining whether you believe or not:
HP http://www.s8int.com/dinolit1.html

Main page: http://www.s8int.com/

There are many interesting subjects.

You should be aware of one important thing! The Bible is not and is not intended to be a scientific paper. However, where it treats scientific subjects, it is never wrong.

Therefore the creation account is brief in the extreme and gives us barely a glimpse into what happened.

On this HP http://www.bythebible.page.tl/ there is a link to how long the creative days is scripturally proved! See this so as not to believe that dumb 6000 year idiocy.

Answer 2

A man (or woman for that matter) sat down a long long time ago and argued the theological view of creation on his ancient scroll, and even he without all the technology available to us to know it isn't so, did not try to argue that 'day' was one rotation of the sun around earth, he called that a sign made later for the purpose of denoting the first separation.

His idea was that God separated light from darkness and called the light day and the darkness night ; he posited that morning and evening were a part of this whole 'day', so saying that the the light and the dark overlap where they meet.

Prior to this the theologan author of Genesis defined light and darkness quite clearly.. so as not to get the reader confused (he tried I suppose)..... Darkness was a void existing (well actually non existing) in the beginning before God started creating. At this point God's 'face' was 'fluttering on the waters' of a deep non existent void.
One would suspect that this theologian was thinking along the lines of Descarte and saying God was at some stage an unthought idea, a possibility. The thinker and the thought entered into being as one, the idea became a thought which needed a thinker.

And God said Let light be and light is.

So Darkness is void and light is non-void, an idea actualised into thought by and with a thinker.

So if Day is light, a Day, to God, is the actualisation of something where there was nothing...... come to think of it, that's what a day is to us, too, when you break it down well enough....

hmmmmm.......

Answer 3

This theory is very simple and makes perfect sense. I will use the Bible as being true and factual, for it is the basis of your question.

Dinosaurs did exist with humans, but they were just over grown iguanas and lizards and alligators. It is a fact that reptiles never stop growing. They grow until they die, like some fish and other types of animals. Now, in Genesis, man lived to be many hundred years old. Methusalah lived to be 969. Now, if man lived this long, why not animals? If lizards lived to be this old, then they would be so huge by the time they were done growing, that they would be what we now call dinosaurs. It makes very good sense if you take the Bible as fact. They were just reptiles that were very old, just as humans could live to be very, very old.

Answer 4

I am a creationist/evolutionist
The days are not literally days but just symbols for an amount of time.
There are some evidence that mankind was around when the dinosaurs roamed the earth. And in the bible there are some mention of huge animals.

Only the Creator knows the answer to your question

Answer 5

No one ever said man did not exist along with dinosaurs. In fact, there is proof that certain species of dinosaurs existed even in the Medieval times. They just eventually died out due from various environmental causes.

Answer 6

THere is plenty of evidence that man and dinosaur roamed together, They are mentioned in the Bible to begin with, and also there is still plenty of evidence that man and dinosaur co existed. The evolutionists just dont like it because it messes up their THEORIES

Answer 7

I take it you believe scientists "know" with absolute certainty their theory is correct? It seems to me the most open minded of any profession for any possibility is the scientist. Doesn't appear to be so.

I don't endorse these the sites myself but it shows and cites anecdotes of human beings over time encountering dinosaurs.

Answer 8

My theory is that all religion was invented by man, who didn't know about dinosaurs at the time he invented the creation story.

Answer 9

well, there are people who are creationist evolutionsts; they believe that God did indeed create the world, but that the "Creation" story need not be taken literally. that he created it in the beginning and then it evolved on its own. therefore the dinosaurs could have come before man.

Answer 10

Yeah, When the dinos died, the earth was still in existence, as Pangaea. And God pertty much took it from there.
