Christians: Does it ever bother you that dinosaurs were not in the bible?

Question

Or how about the fact that there has never been enough water on earth to flood the whole planet? Do these little facts bother you at all?

Facts? Lets talk facts. Dinosaurs died about 65 million years ago, long before any evidence of human beings. There weren't in the bible because the MEN who wrote the bible hadn't dug up any bones yet. Mount Everest, K2, and other mountains far too tall to be covered in water, have been around for for about 60 million years, long before there were any people (http://teacher.scholastic.com/activities/hillary/archive/evefacts.htm), third grade science people. If things like T-rexes were running around with moses I am sure there would have been more talk of it. Simple geology shows the "world" was never flooded. We can examine layers to see the past easily. We can see human and dino bones and they were not in the same layers or even close. The sea level would have to rise about FIVE MILES to flood everything. Use some freakin common sense K? http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Is_there_enough_water_for_a_global_flood_to_be_possible

Answer 1

They are going to accuse you of lieing to them. Forget facts and science it's all in the Bible. If the Bible doesnt speak of it it's fake.

Answer 2

Read Job 40
There is no such fact stating that there has never been enough water on earth to flood the whole planet. There is plenty of evidence for the DELUGE.
So, no, I am not bothered by these statements you just made, because they are just statements you just made.

Edit: There are explanations for everything you are yelling about. First of all, there is absolutely no proof that the earth is millions of years old. If you read the Bible, which it's obvious you don't, then you would understand that the Flood WASN'T higher than the present day mountains. The Bible says that the water not only came from the rains, but from the deep abyss. It sprang forth from the earth. So, knowing that, when the waters receded, they had to have a place to go, so God caused the land to come up in places, hence forming mountains, and giving the water a place to go.
What you are stating are not facts. They are merely scientific "explainations." Science books are written by man. The Bible is inspired by God. I believe the Bible. You can believe what you want, and it doesn't matter what or how much you yell at us about what you believe to be the truth, it will not shake my faith. Why are you so angered by what I believe to be the truth? DOES IT BOTHER YOU???

Wow, it looks like there's some awfully smart people who just happen to believe in Creationism. Does that bother you, too?

Answer 3

Who fed you that line? I know you didn't come up with it by yourself. You should be embarrassed. I am embarrassed for you.

Try doing just a little research before asking questions. There's a thing called the internet, it's not in the bible, but it comes in handy for quick research anyway. Try it!


Really!? Who told you that? You should have written, "Scientists say that they THINK..." You see, radio-carbon dating, the method scientists use to determine an approximate age of a fossil, is an inexact science that cannot be completely trusted. That is why they always hedge their bets with words like "about", "approximately", "could have", "may have", and they give their dates a range which provides for a huge margin of error. Why can't they provide an exact age? Because there is one element that messes up radio-carbon dating - WATER! A flood did cover the entire earth at one time and that flood messed things up for our scientists today.

God is not like you and I, He can do things that boggle the mind, like cause water to increase and to decrease and He can even make water go up hill if He chooses to do so. HE'S GOD! You say it can't happen, but you are thinking in human terms.

Yes, you are right. They start indoctrinating us in the religion of science very early and tell us about all kinds of theories and eventually we accept theories as truth. They are very good at it and they get to us when we're young, but that is no excuse now that we are older and can think for ourselves.

< We can see human and dino bones and they were not in the same layers or even close.> Do some research my friend. You'll be surprised to know that within the last couple of years the bones of humans and dino's have been discovered together and dino bones bearing the marks of primitive cutting tools have also been discovered. Who made the cutting tools?

Not if God made the water increase the way He increased the loaves and the fishes and not if He made water to run up hill and cover those mountains like a blanket. Remember the Red Sea?

PSSST! Hey! Over here. You don't HAVE to stay in that line and keep swallowing all that stuff you've been swallowing since third grade. There IS a God and He says we can think for ourselves. Try using some God-sense.

Answer 4

Dinosaurs are covered in the recorded creative days, along with all the other creatures.

As for the water, there originally was a canopy of water surrounding the earth,

"...God proceeded to make the expanse & to make a division between the waters that should be beneath the expanse & the waters that should be above the expanse..." --Genesis 1:7
At that time, the earth itself had a hilly terrain,
without tall mountains. The flood waters in Noah's day came from everywhere, & included the waters from the protective canopy above, as well as underground sources. Volcanoes & earthquakes brought parts of the land up much higher than they had been, while other parts sunk much lower. (To thjis day, the shells of ocean creatures can be found on several inland mountains.)

These shifts in the land's elevation allowed the higher elevations to drain & dry out. If the mts & valleys --both under the ocean & above water-- were all leveled into hilly terrain again, we'd all be inundated! With the original, protective water-covering removed --& not replaced-- the life spans of earth's creatures dropped dramatically, & has never recovered.

Such 'facts' in this Q are mere suppositions/ accusations
that don't hold a drop of water, themselves.
And since they aren't worthy of consideration,
I generally ignore them...

Answer 5

If the mountains were a little shorter, and the seas shallower, (as they were during the flood).... in other words if the earth were a little rounder, the water would cover everything. Did you never hear that the spring where the Colorado river starts is way lower than the rim of the grand canyon?

Answer 6

Dinosaurs are mentioned twice in the Bible.

There is sufficient water on earth to flood the whole planet -- you assume that the earth always had exactly the same mountains and other surface features as it has today.

So no, your misunderstanding of simple facts doesn't bother me a bit.

Answer 7

Just because the Bible doesn't actually say the name "Dinosaurs" that does not mean that dinosaurs didn't walk the earth!

And your flood question is simply ridiculous!

God's word says that He flooded the entire earth for 40days and 40nights and that's good enough for me!

In my opinion you haven't given any facts to bother me!

God Bless You!

Answer 8

No, God doesn't mention everything or answer every question in the bible. He leaves some things for us to wonder. He doesn't tell us if He made life on other planets or what happens to us the seconds after we die, or what part the dinosaurs played in our evolutionary development. He's got to save something for when we see Him. lol

Answer 9

Err..over 70% of the earth is covered in water?
BTW it didn't just rain for 40 days-the fountains of the deep burst open also.
Dinosaurs is a name invented in the 1840's before this they were known as dragons.

Thought you were smart there didn't you?

Answer 10

Science proves that there was actually a flooding of Earth.

Answer 11

Please share the ...FACTS... that dinosaurs were not in the bible and please show facts that there wasn't enough water to flood the earth.

If you given the chance to stand before God (and you will) do you think that you could kick Him in the shin?
