Was their Dinosaurs before Adam and Eve were living?

Question

If their where dinosoures when Noah were living why is thier none of them around now?

Answer 1

In the beginning the bible says that the earth was without form and void...it doesn't say that the earth did not exist yet. I believe that the dinosaurs were here before Adam and Eve...and they lived upon the same earth..however, something happened and the dinosaurs became extinct. Some kind of great flood or something happened to also make the earth void and without form. When God created man, He had to renew the earth and make it suitable for man to dwell in. I do not believe that dinosaurs were around at the time of Noah. This also explains why fossils are found billions of years old.

Answer 2

God created all animals before man, so yes.
As far as the Ark, we do not know if any made it on board. It appears they did not.
Dinosaurs were merely different animals than the ones we have today. Even some of the ones around today look really different.
For instance, if we never knew what a giraffe was, but found some bones, presto!- a dinosaur.
In a world wide flood like Noah survived, the bodies of animals would quickly be buried in churning sediment. This is how we find them in rock layers. Human bodies tend to float, and would therefore not survive as they would disintegrate and decompose.

Answer 3

Dinosaurs roamed the earth for something like 100,000,000 million years. Approximately 65 million years ago a large meteor impacted the earth in and around central america. We know this because we find high concentrations of iridium (rare on earth rather common in meteors) in the sedimentary layers layed down 65,000,000 years ago. (In some strata you can actually see the thin black line denoting the debris field). The resultant "nuclear winter" was the death knell for the dinosaurs. There was however good news for mammals. With the large predators gone--mammals were free to fill the ecological niches vacated by the sauropods--giving rise eventually to sentient creatures that ultimately questioned why they were here and without advanced scientific knowledge wrote books and created gods to explain how the world worked.

Answer 4

Dinosaurs had been and gone long before Adam and Eve.
Dinosaurs date back some 65,000,000 years but Adam and Eve only go back 6,000 years. And as Noah came only 3,500 years ago there is no way he could have had any dinosaurs in the ark..!!

Answer 5

NO there were no dino's before adam and eve, and instead of a great ice age the flood killed them all. satan has a deception and countfiet for every thing God has made or done, I like chestnuts, but I have to be careful when i go looking for them. satan has made a thing called buck eyes they are poisinous, but look almost exactlly like the chestnut. there are many differnt examples. look at waht man has made the t rex out to be,now think out side the box a little, man in noahs day was 16 to 18 ft tall, you take the trex and put fur all over it and maybe a pouch on it's belly what do you have a kangaroo? how do we even know there were dino saurs was these scientists we listen to alive back then? they have a piece of paper saying they are smart, but they are human, and can and will make mistakes, but you want hear of the mistakes. These people are supposed to be perfect in the eyes of society.

Answer 6

I don't take some stories of the Bible too literally, for example, the story of how the world was created and the flood (which was around in many civilizations before it ever was in the Bible). I do believe God created the world, I just don't think he did it EXACTLY in the way it said in Genesis. There is irrefutable evidence that dinosaurs were alive waay before humans, but that doesn't mean God didn't make both.

Answer 7

Its technically impossible for you to believe in both Adam and Eve and dinosaurs. The Bible tells us that God created the heavens and the earth, and the garden of eden and man. Follow all that and the earth is just a little over 2000 years old(2007). Now, the dinosaurs, the experts say that they are over millions and millions of years old. Kinda impossible to do both.

Answer 8

Dinosaurs lived from 232 to 65 million years ago. This is well before any hominids lived. Dinosaurs first appeared in the mid Triassic, probably because their air sac system was superior at breathing the low oxygen atmosphere known to exist 200-250 million years ago. Some 20,000 different species are described from fossils, an estimated 3% of what actually lived. There were a couple of minor extinction events, which dinosaurs recovered from and again flourished, and one major extinction event, coincident with a large asteroid impact at Chicxlub 65 million years ago that killed them all.

Answer 9

There is a dinosaur and man footprints together. In African rain forest there are drawings of a dinosaur living today. In the 1600's people still fought off a few dragons. The large birds have recently threatened (last 50 years) mankind. One attempted to carry off a young boy.

Answer 10

Maybe for a day, since God made animals on the fifth day I believe. There is a lot of evidence that dinosaurs lived with mankind, even Vikings used a dinosaur symbol on the tips of their ships.

The reason there are no dinosaurs now is because the enviroment has changed significantly over time, at one put bugs grew extremely large, and man could live thousands of years to, but times have changed all of that.
