Did Adam Ride the Dinosaurs?

Question

At the newish Creation Museum, there is an exhibit that shows man with the dinosaurs, and there is a saddle on the dinosaur.

I am not joking.

My question is if we cannot domesicate rhinos or hippos, how did Adam tame the T-Rex?

This is completely true. For added foolishness the saddles are attached by nylon straps

Answer 1

Now that puts an image in my head i'll never be able to get rid of!

Answer 2

Personall, I do not believe that Adam ever rode dinosaurs, or even was the first man. I have read the Bible quite a bit trying to understand the timeline of it, and the way that it reads, Adam and Eve first cam along in about 2000 BC. Well if the dinosaurs were here 65,000,000 years ago, how the heck did Adam ever ride these things. Additionally, Scientists have dated primative man to about 30,000 years ago. That is a bit longer than the 6,000 years that the Bible Suggests. I have talked ot several Theologians, and none seem to have a reasonable explination for any of this other than to believe in the Bible, one must have faith. It seems that Science is slowlt but surely making the faith that man is supposed to have go away.

Answer 3

In the fifties an Hollywood film titled as 'one million years ago' came and it was a black and white movie! They did show the men fighting the Dinosaurs, just for the thrills in the story!

In fact, all these great animals died during the devastation by the strike of a large meteorite of ten kilometers across about 65 million years ago! But our mankind was just started evolving from the APE MAN about a million and half years ago only!

So there was no chance for Adam riding the Dinosaurs, scientifically!

Answer 4

Because Adam was given Dominion over all of the animals of the earth. Adam was basically to rule the earth. All animals and man were herbivors before the flood of Noah. Not until after the flood did the Lord authorize the eating of meat due to lack of vegetation after the flood.

Before Pit-Bulls ever taste blood they are much less agressive. I figure it's the same with T-Rex and such others.

Answer 5

Actually, there is some evidence that humans have used rhinos in war (look it up).

From movies like Jurassic Park, many people think that all the dinosaurs were enormous, invincible killing machines—humans are just too small, dumb, and weak to have lived during the time of the dinosaurs.

The truth is, humans live in a world that is still home to many incredible, large, and intimidating creatures. Large reptiles like the Komodo Dragon, anacondas, alligators, and crocodiles don’t keep man from flourishing on the earth.

Elephants can get up to 11 tons (22,000 lbs). An elephant can kill a man by stepping on him with one foot or by striking him with his powerful trunk. Yet, we have no problem taming these animals or even training them to do tricks in the circus. If man can work, play, and even go to battle on an elephant, why couldn’t man do similar things with certain dinosaurs. Yes, some of the sauropod dinosaurs grew over four times larger than an elephant, but most dinosaurs were smaller than an elephant.

Killer whales (Orcas), are one of the oceans’ fiercest predators. They eat hundreds of thousands of pounds of mammal and fish meat every year. Seals, sea lions, walruses, otters, polar bears, and even moose have all been found in the stomachs of these creatures. But these are captured, tamed, and trained to do tricks.

If humans today can manipulate animals that are over 100 times their own size, why is it so difficult to believe that humans and dinosaurs once inhabited the earth at the same time?

Genesis 1:28 says, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

When man and large animals get together, whose in trouble? Blue whales get much larger than any of the dinosaurs, and it’s the blue whale that has nearly been hunted to extinction in the past.

A lot of people get their ideas about how animals behaved from Hollywood fiction. But is Hollywood trying to tell an accurate story or an entertaining story? Now think if the dinosaurs had survived today, but the elephant had gone extinct. They might have made a movie like Jurassic Park about elephants. You see, if we didn’t know how elephants behaved, they might have been perceived as monsters. The movie might portray them running around stabbing people with their tusks—because what else would tusks be used for except for stabbing prey? They were sharp and pointy. Well no—elephants are gentle animals; now you don’t want to make one mad, but they are not monsters, they are just animals that God created for our enjoyment. Dinosaurs are the same; they are not monsters, but just animals God created.

As Dr. Jason Lisle has said, “You can’t tell the behavior of an animal by its bones any more than you could tell the behavior of me from my bones. You can make a guess, but that’s all it is.”

Answer 6

Never heard that Adam did ride the Dinosaurs

Answer 7

If this is true, it is either a joke or the curator of that museum is a total loon.

To cpeezie: - Where does the Bible teach that before the Fall of man that all creatures were herbivores? Book, chapter, and verse.
.

Answer 8

It sounds funny, but dinosaur footprints have been found alongside man's

google texas dino and man's footprints

even scarier is the fact that the mans footprints are like a size 21

so that makes the man millions of years old
or

makes the dinos thousands of years old

its because of findings like this which are not well published they consider to be evidence

google yourself and have a look,

it's the kind of stuff they forget to mention at school

Answer 9

I heard he rode the Stegosauraus since it could carry up to six people. the T Rex was more of a Muscle car 2 seater

Answer 10

LOL
Good point.

In fact, in the progression of the Bible their should be someone specifically attributed to the domestication of riding animals. There should also be details about what kind of animal they were; it IS that kind of book.
