i heard that there were some Christians that believed that Adam & Eve lived with the dinosaurs. I taught this was some kind of joke but there really are some people who believe that.
I'm not one to judge and i dont want to be ignorant, so can somebody explain their reasoning to these claims?

Does this mean you dont believe that the dinos were killed by a meteor?

They were necessary from God's point of view to prepare the planet to become the paradise that the earth was going to become... but once Adam and Eve lost that perspective for the rest of us and the whole earth became horribly violent and filled with evil, the true God actually felt regret at creating such people and was going to destroy them all until he remembered Noah, his wife and his three sons, who were righteous and told him to build an ark with all of the measurements, etc. and Noah did just so for a whole forty years while preaching the coming disaster but no one listened until it came and the whole canape of water surrounding the earth came pouring down the earth for forty days steady... which is when all who weren't in the ark as well as the animals and dinosaurs alike all drowned as they weren't put in the ark for the reason that they weren't needed anymore! That's all!

To be honest, it doesnt give evidence of their existence in the Bible but u cant ignore that assumption. There are many things the Bible does not explain but that dont mean they never existed.Fossils should be proof enough that they did exist but I strongly disagree in how they figure out exactly how long ago they were alive. In the Bible the only thing that destroyed all humanity and living creatures was the flood of Noahs day! Maybe the dinosaurs were extinct then but the Bible does not speak of any meteor hitting earth.Im sure the hole would never be covered though. Hopefully this helps u enough but there are just somethings God just really sees irrelevant to our knowledge.What Hes mainly interested in is our salvation through His son JesusChrist who died for our sins so we will not live in condemnation but have everlasting life!
God Bless U.

The earth was first created for the angels & Lucifer was put in charge. This could have been millions of years before Adam & Eve were created. The 7 days of creation were a recreation of the earth after Satan (Lucifer) rebelled against God. There was war in heaven & Satan & his angels were cast back down to earth. This is how the earth became destroyed. That's why in Genesis 1:1 it says the earth was void,& darkness was on the earth. God didn't create it this way it became this way. It was Lucifer & the angels who created the other life forms which date back before God created mankind of today, starting with Adam. Remember Satan was there in the garden to deceive Eve & bring down Adam. Sorry this subject is too deep to go any futher on here!

Obviously, there were a lot more creatures than just dinosaurs that were left out of the creation account. If God were to have included every creature in the creation account (well over one billion), such inclusion would have completely lost the spiritual significance of the passage (and would be much longer than the Bible itself). The purpose of the Genesis creation account is to give an account of how God created mankind and provided for him. The account, like the entire Bible, centers on God and His miraculous workings for mankind.

I believe in a biblical creation so yes not only did dinosaurs live with Adam but he got to name them. If you don't believe in this do you believe in evolution? I find it harder to believe man came from a monkey. When medical teams use pig heart valves in humans as the closest matches and pig skin is used on burn patients, Why don't people believe pigs are their closest relatives? Yeah dinosaurs with Adam is easier to believe.There are places where dinosaur bones are next to human bones and Adam was the first man so.........

These Christians believe that Adam & Eve lived with the dinosaurs.
It is also backed by science.

People have been finding fault with the bible for centuries.
the animals Adam and Eve lived with were not carnivores, or Dinos. Dinos lived millions of years before Adam and wife.
People are probably pulling your leg.

I don't know about the 'Christians' here, but I reckon the dinosaurs wouldn't have let them anywhere near, running around in fig leaves, scarfing everybody's apples, neighbourhood would've gone to h*ll, even before the meteor struck !

Dinosaurs and other extinct beasties went extinct on one of the "days" that God was playing around with well before teh "day" he created Adam. We have no idea how long those "days' of creation were. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

I don't subscribe to that belief, but those who do claim that the dinosaurs were killed in the flood of Noah. They claim that the flood explains the presence of fossils in otherwise unlikely places without the shuffling it created.
