the creation story vs. the dinosaurs?

Question

ok, on the sixth day, god created humans. fine and dandy, but humans and the dinosaurs didnt live in the same time period, because dinosaurs were around before humans came along. but, the bible says god created it all in seven days! and also, the earth was around 4.5 billion years before humans came! so how did god create it all in seven days?

Answer 1

Many believe that dinosaurs lived millions of years ago. Yet, with the use of the scriptures, common sense and science, proof that the earth is only about 6000 years old and that dinosaurs lived in the time of Adam and the great flood of Noah. First of all, let's understand why man has mistakenly determined the age of the earth. In the very first chapter of
Genesis, it says that there was water above and below the firmament.

Now upon examination, it can be determined that firmament is heaven or atmosphere. According to God's word, there was water above the firmament. So how can this be pr oven?

Let us examine preflood man. Man prior to the flood lived to be roughly around 900 years. We must ask ourselves what could cause man to live so long. Scientists have stated that the sun is the major factor in aging us. Now, if we put 2 and 2 together, the common sense answer to why man lived so long prior to the flood is because they had extra protection from the sun. There was a body of water that surrounded the earth and gave it a greenhouse effect and it was this water that gave man much more protection from the sun. Now, scientists have used scientific principals based on the chemical makeup of the earth after the flood, yet, the chemical makeup of the earth was different which makes any test on material prior to the flood incorrect.

What proof is there that the earth was chemically different prior to the flood is again common sense. If man had protection from the sun, so did all living things on the earth. The earth too, was protected from the toxic radiation from the sun and it is common sense that tells us that carbon dating cannot be used to determine the age of the earth because of different chemical principals of two different earths, preflood and after flood.

Now what about dinosaurs? What is a dinosaur? It is nothing more then a reptile. Scientist have pr oven that as long as a reptile is living, it continues to grow. So, if we take an alligator and say it lives 100 years and grows 20 feet. What would happen if it were to live 900 years? It would have grown to be 180 feet, thus, a dinosaur.

One more thing to ponder, the earth being in a bubble of water, is that prior to the flood, man had never seen rain. That is why no one believed Noah when he said it was going to rain. At that time, the earth was watered by a mist. Another interesting thing to think about is the dramatic decrease in man's lifespan after the flood. He began to age much faster because he was being pelted by massive amounts of radiation from the sun. Just recently, scientists who use computers to solve unsolved crimes by taking the remains of bones to restructure and form a face of the bones were asked by creationists to do an experiment. Now, first we must understand that this forensic science has met with great success and is proven itself as reputable.
They were asked to take an average man and by comparing the physical changes in the lifetime such as bone structure and come up with a model of what man would look like if he lived to be close to 1000 years. Remarkably, around the 400 year mark, the image looked remarkably like that of Cro Magnum man and around the 800 year mark, man the image looked remarkably like Neanderthal man. Now, is this just coincidence or is God's word true. I believe the the world is just as the bible says, just around 6000 years old.

Answer 2

I'm of the opinion that there are several billion years between the events of the first verse of Genesis 1 and the second verse. God did not create the earth as "without form, and void; and darkness... on the face of the deep." That occurred when Satan rebelled and devastated the earth.

Therefore, before that devastation, dinosaurs did roam the earth, and God did create them. The Bible doesn't, anywhere, contradict science's evaluation of the earth's age, or of the existence of dinosaurs.

But this is not an issue of faith. It is only a matter for contention -- for people to argue over whether the Bible is true or not. And it's people's interpretation of what the Bible says that goes wrong, not the Word of God.

Answer 3

Seven days - 6 for creation, 1 for rest. Seems rather a small rest time for making a whole universe!

Answer 4

1 day for God= millions of years

says so somewhere in the Qu'ran

Answer 5

You DO know the definition of GOD, right?

All powerful, all knowing, etc., etc....?

Why would you ask HOW God could do something if He is all powerful?

Answer 6

Well, it is a made up story sweetheart..Man and all other creatures are here through (Luck) Evolution. Nothing more nothing less.
