Christians view on dinosaurs?

Question

I would be humored to know how the Christians explain the dinosaurs?

One Christian woman told me that we... "made it up" and that the fossils they found were fabricated.

Some people use "the flood" to argue how they died off...but I want an explanation for how/why they lived.

By the way...there is plenty of evidence for an extinction by meteorite......and no evidence for a global flood. Water of that volume isn't even possible given the chemical makeup of our planet...and was NEVER possible with past environmental conditions in our atmosphere. We know this by examining ice cores...and MANY other forms of proof.

In response to Truth7's ignorance below...oxygen content on Earth WAS infact richer, but has no effect on how half-life's and carbon dating work.

Answer 1

What's to explain? They lived, they died, their bones are occasionally found and dug up. Simple.

Cheers :-)

Answer 2

** What evolutionists fail to acknowledge is the simple fact that the environment at 35% oxygen, which the asker here agrees is a fact, would oxydize and kill simple celled 'evolving' life if it weren't for the creationist assertion that the environment was at a higher pressure. Again, creationists have to teach evolutionists the facts.

Dinosaurs resided alongside man. Under the beginning hyperbaric conditions of the environment, everything was larger.

Did you know that the nostril and lungs of dinosaurs were no bigger than a modern day's horse's nostrils and lungs? A clue that the oxygen content was much richer. Plants,animals and man were much larger due to the higher-pressure and richer oxygen.

Under this high-pressure atmosphere, fossil-fuels and the Earth's strata were compacted much quicker than by todays environmental pressure, giving modern scientists a false impression of millions of years of history, when in fact, the process was in the thousands of years span.

**My 'ignorance' is physicist proven reality.

Physics of Creation:
On each side of the hydrogen would be a 10-ft. to 20-ft. layer of frozen crystal clear ice.

Under this layer would be a hyperbaric atmosphere of about 35% oxygen. Bubbles in ancient amber have been found with this content of oxygen. That concentration of oxygen would oxidize all things unless held under a hyperbaric pressure. Dr. Baugh estimates that the pressure at sea level would have been about 32 lbs./ in2 instead of the 14 lbs. now present. This high level of oxygen and high pressure would explain the huge dinosaurs that existed. Scientists have been mystified as to how the biggest of the dinosaurs could have delivered oxygen throughout their body given the assumption of todays pressure and oxygen level. Hyperbaric systems have been used successfully in burn units where severely burned people have been healed much quicker than if left under normal conditions

Answer 3

there have been different creatures that have been in the international previously guy. The birds, animals and fish have been here first. as a be counted of actuality, guy replaced into between the final issues God created. Dinosaurs do look in the Bible, maximum extraordinarily in job 40-40-one. He mentions a behomath and leviathan. The be conscious dinosaur replaced into no longer coined until eventually a century or so in the past. So, i've got faith the dinosaurs have been wiped out whilst the flood occurred.

Answer 4

Creationist "scientists" like Ken Ham, Kent Hovind, and Jon Sarfati are either shamelessly dishonest or they're completely deficient in proper scientific education.

This becomes abundantly clear from literature like Ken Ham's "What really happened to the dinosaurs?" I shan't go into details this time, but I have already pointed out some glaring flaws in Ken Ham's arguments in an earlier question concerning the same subject. Sadly I lost "Best Answer" by one vote. Follow this link:

Answer 5

Views vary all over the lot. Some Christians recognize that the earth is four billion years old, and that the biblical creation tale is not literally true, but don't let their view of it as metaphor influence what they consider the core values of the religion -- the redemption of sin and all that. Others proclaim the literal truth of the bible, notwithstanding the science that shows that it isn't. For the straight dope, see:

Answer 6

Why would a Christian, like myself, think that the dinosaurs were fake. Just because the Bible doesn't say they were real, or fake, doesn't mean they are, or aren't. I believe that dinosaurs are real and who ever said they were "made up" and the fossils were planted is stupid. Those type of people give Christians a bad name.

Answer 7

Frankly this Christian doesn't have a view on dinosaurs. I prefer my kitties and my little 15 year old Pekingnese.

Answer 8

Yeah well I want a believable explanation on the Big Bang Theory. Looks like neither one of us gets what we want.

Answer 9

Most have been fun - watching the Tyrannasaurs cavort with the Brontosaurs on the Noah's ark.

Answer 10

Dinosaurs were awesome - yes they were on earth - and not every Christian believes 6000 yr thing.

That's kinda dumb?

- Cords

yes they are in the bible!!

Answer 11

Well, even though it was not mentioned in the Bible
I am a christian and I do believe that dinosaurs existed...
