How can fundamental Christians believe dinosaurs and man lived at the same time?

Answer 1

Because they're delusional.

Answer 2

Sorry, you have it wrong.
A fundamental Christian believes the Bible.
And the bible says that god created the heavens and the earth./ There is no timeframe mentioned.
And we have the physical proof of erosion and dinosaur bones to prove they existed. The earth IS billions of years old.
What is NOT is man's history on earth.
The animals were here long before man was created.
And we have the timeline of man;s existence,
Genesis chapter five gives the lifespans of the Patriarchs . From Adam onwards. right up to Noah.
(Genesis 7:11) In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on this day all the springs of the vast watery deep were broken open and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.

(Genesis 7:24) And the waters continued overwhelming the earth a hundred and fifty days.

(Genesis 8:13) Now in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, it came about that the waters had drained from off the earth; and Noah proceeded to remove the covering of the ark and to look, and here the surface of the ground had drained dry.

(Genesis 10:1) And this is the history of Noah’s sons, Shem, Ham and Ja′pheth. Now sons began to be born to them after the deluge.

And then we have the geneology of Jesus at Matthew chapter one. 1-16. From Abraham to Jesus.
And Luke chapter three ..24-38

A timeline chart can be constructed from all these facts and numbers of years and it becomes clear that the timespan of man on the earth is only about 8,000 years. Long after the last dinosaur.
And no bones of men have ever been found with dinosaurs.

Answer 3

Fundamentalists interpret the bible as literal historical truth. Most Christian theologians do not take the old testament stories as being literal. The reason Fundamentalists believe dinosaurs and man lived at the same time is because the bible says in Genesis that man lived with the animals and gave them their names.

It is easier to question science than it is to question your belief! Or in more blunt terms it is easier to accept propaganda from the leaders if their leaders can discredit the science that might start their followers questioning their belief. It is interesting that distancing followers from non-believers and teaching your religious doctrine as the only truth is how most cults keep their followers and it was just time till the Christian religions started following suit.

As a Pagan I believe what I choose and unless you can prove other wise I'll remain believing as I do. Does this mean that Pagans and Wiccans aren't the cults that they say we are? Teaching propaganda about other groups is also very cultish!

Gee it just struck me that Christians want people to believe that man lived just like the Flintstones cartoon. Well isn't that special!!

Answer 5

If you think about it for 2 seconds you'll understand that if God created the universe then He also created the laws of nature and physics it is bound by, including evolution, so when he made the universe it could have been like that movie Click with Adam Sandler - God just used his remote control to fast-forward things to where they needed to be for man to exist - meaning a planet, atmosphere, a food chain etc. Evolution is the how not why life on Earth exists.

Answer 6

i'm a pious Christian yet i do no longer completely reject the revolution. I firmly have faith in God, yet i will additionally see some evidences approximately some creatures (i do no longer call them our ancestors) have been present earlier. that's purely a theory besides the shown fact that it ought to be there some evidences some implies it circuitously: i will see that the Bible implies somewhat with regard to the evolution, like whilst God became the lizard to a snake. He did no longer would desire to describe the medical tribes or they'd pass loopy, yet in an prolonged time we are able to comprehend it. interior the tale of the falling of the lucifer, it says that he laid the international locations low, which i think of can say that there became into some international locations earlier Adam whilst he became into nonetheless an angel. additionally, save in mind that God made an illustration on Cain's brow, so he can not be killed by way of others. i think of that the evolution has taken its technique some time past, interior the 6th day (an afternoon in Hebrew is an undefined era), with various those homo sapiens adult males or besides the fact that their call as a element of the animal worldwide and that they evoluted to be by some ability to first suitable introduction of God, Adam and Eve. i think of they are the 1st superior human beings, likewise the previous variety of adult males or chimpanzee has approached to its point of adulthood. After the flood, purely human beings, sons of the created Adam and Eve survived. Btw, the 1st variety of species of all animals, plant life is created by way of God, no good judgment rationalization can clarify the existence of the early persons different than the introduction, so i've got faith that the introduction deliver approximately the evolution :) those previous previous human beings weren't completely superior to settle for the existence of God, very retarded minds comparable because of the fact the persons here denying the existence of God, comparable constrained strategies. however the later human beings have been superior adequate to understand and settle for the factor of having God. i think of the evolution became into there to teach the elegance and the limitlessness of God, the writer of all. and in line with risk to verify and understand somewhat approximately how did God have been given us to the existence.

Answer 7

How can any one believe that man as we know it today with high intelligence never lived with dinosaurs they came later. Sure there were some form of man at that time but truly man and Dino's did not exist.

Answer 8

Dinosaurs are mentioned a lot in the Bible.

That's why.

The word used in the KJV was "Dragons", since the English word "dinosaur" was not invented until 200 years after KJV was translated.

It appears 16 times.

Answer 9

The issue is evolution. If you don't believe in evolution there is no reason in the world to not believe that they lived at the same time. Whatever premise you start with determines what you believe. The Bible says that it is foolish to start with the premise that there is no God.

Answer 10

Modern "man" and dinosaurs did not coexist. There were man-like creatures on Earth, of course. But those were the creatures that evolved from the goo, they were not "man" as we know him today. Evolution has been proven. But not the evolution of you and me. The "missing link" to us is God.

Answer 11

Read Genesis Chapters 1 & 2. You can see how it could be taken that way, but I personally don't believe that.
