Answer 1

Going through the chronologies of the Bible we find that the world was created 4004 B.C. most likely near the autumnal equinox. The Bible records that the world was created in 6/ 24 hour periods of time. Creation began on Sunday and continued until Friday with Saturday being a day of rest. On the 5th day (Thursday) God created fish and birds and on the 6th day (Friday) God created all the other animals and Adam and just after Eve (being created from Adam's rib).

The dinosaurs would have been created on the 5th, 6th day of creation. They would have been around and living on earth at the same time as man. They very well were place on Noah's ark (young adults) and made it to the other side of the flood. The change in the environment, caused by the flood very well reduced their number and in time many became extinct. However it is possible that legends of dragons, may have been exaggerated stories of dinosaurs (the name 'dinosaur' was only coined in 1841).

Some Christians believe that Job 40:15-24 is describing a
Dinosaour. That it could be a Brachiosaurus. Some have throught this was an Elephant or hippo, however Elephants and hippos tails are not simular to cedar trees

Answer 2

after. But the time of Adam and eve was not the only time we were on the earth. There was a time before Adam and eve. It happens between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 . In Genesis 1:1 it says " In the beginning God created heavens and the earth " ,,, period. It doesn't say when that was. Nor does it say or even indicate that Genesis 1:2 follows shortly thereafter. It was probably millions of years between the two. Read the book of Job , Chapter 40. And pay close attention when God describes an animal He call Behemoth. Carefully read what God likens the tail of Behemoth to.

Answer 3

Adam and Eve, like all things, were created spiritually before being created physically. They could have been the garden for thousands or millions of years in an innocent, child-like state before the fall. The fall made them mortal and then capable of having children. We owe them everything because of the fall. The scriptures say, "Adam fell that men might be, and men are that they might have joy."

I believe dinosaurs were put on this earth for man to discover and learn and speculate. Adam and Eve became mortal about 6000 years ago, so no, they were not mortal at the time of the dinosaurs.

Answer 4

God created the world in 6 days. On the 5th day He made all the animals and on the 6th day he made Adam from dust and later on he made Eve from Adam's rib.

Answer 5

The story of Adam and Eve is a Jewish story, not a Christian one. Neither religion mentions dinosaurs.

Answer 6

There is a place in Texas that has footprints of man along side of footprints of dinosaurs so you can only conclude that they co-existed unless of course you think scientific evidence is false.

Answer 7

after, since the beasts of the feild came before man, it also says that Adam tried coupling with all of the beasts of the feild in turn before God created Eve--I'm thinking the T-rex mating attempt would make an interesting picture!

Answer 8

I think proably during the time frame of the dinosuars.The biblle was not clear exactly when.But that is agreat question

Answer 9

About 4pm after a mornings hangover.

Answer 10

There is no answer to that question because there was no Adam and Eve.
