Time Period of Dinosaurs

[John81]

The answer to question 1 is. It is very possible. They are animals after all.
The answer to question 2 is. Try finding other animal bones that old such as cattle, dogs , birds, horses and the such.
The answer to question 3 is. See answer 2 no reports of find those in such places.
The answer to question 4 is. See answer 2
The answer to question 5 is. Who says we couldn't coexist with them. The dodo birds are extinct. So are the moas and a few other animals.
The answer to question 6 is. Same reason why God made man knowing they would fall. Or why people and animals die everyday of various deaths.
The answer to question 7 is. Are you sure 100 percent sure behemoth wasn't a dinosaur in the Bible. The discription of the behomoth is pretty accurate.
The answer to question 8 is. Can we be absolutely certain that they are not genuine.

Good answers.

Most dinos were not huge and of those that were, most were herbivores. There is no reason why man couldn't coexist with dinos after the flood just as they did prior to the flood. For the most part, the large carnivores would have been seeking something much larger than a human for a meal.

Man brought down huge mamouths and elephants with simple spears and such. Even the mighty whale has been hunted by man with simple spears (harpoons) as far back as we can know.

Are we to question God as to everything He does and wonder what the point is/was? Dinos could have served as a great, abundant food source that would have made it much easier for some to gather a stock of food to carry them through the winter. Other species have become extinct but I don't know what good it would do to wonder why God put them here knowing they would go extinct. Why would God make man knowing He would turn to evil and billions would one day be cast into eternal hell? God's thoughts are not our thoughts nor His ways our ways.

There is every reason, by the wording of Scripture, to believe Noah had dinos on the ark.

No doubt there are some misidentified and even false "proofs" out there for everything, but there are also those which do seem to pass the test of authenticity. Even so, no external proof is actually needed since God's Word is the authority. I don't need proof of Noah's ark to believe what the Bible says.

Really? This is from an article on the city of Ur in Mesoptamia......

Excavations from 1922 to 1934 were funded by the British Museum and the University of Pennsylvania and led by the archaeologist Sir Charles Leonard Woolley. [22] [23] [24] A total of about 1,850 burials were uncovered, including 16 that were described as "royal tombs" containing many valuable artifacts, including the Standard of Ur. Most of the royal tombs were dated to about 2600 BC. The finds included the unlooted tomb of a queen thought to be Queen Puabi[8]—the name is known from a cylinder seal found in the tomb, although there were two other different and unnamed seals found in the tomb. Many other people had been buried with her, in a form of human sacrifice.

If you want to do the math, that's 4,600 year old bones...non mineralized, I might add. Where are the non fossilized dino skeletons? And where are my 600 year old non mineralized/nonfossilized dino skeletons from the medieval dragon slayers, John81? Edited December 28, 2010 by heartstrings

I wasn't questioning God.....
I'm questioning men

[John81]

Volcanic eruptions today can quickly bring about the fossilization of some animals caught. However, evidence of animals that died naturally are not typically found.

This is no more of a good argument than that which evolutionists strike in proclaiming that since no fossils of rabbits have been found that's "proof" they had to have evolved at a later date.

Well, I'm not an evolutionist but I am interested in truth and, sir, the plain truth is that great numbers of non fossilized bones of both men and animals, dating back thousands of years, have been and are being excavated all over the world. Please show me one (1) skeleton of a dinosaur which is non fossilized. Edited December 28, 2010 by heartstrings

No doubt they find or have found bones that old, but these are tombs of royal people dated 2600 B.C. They however are not dug up bones of animals in the wild. Burial places, were the dead are prepared and preserved, are far different from bones of animal drying in the sun.

You'll all think I'm crazy but I believe the dinosaurs were before Adam. In fact, they lived someplace between Gen. 1:1 and 1:2. No, I'm not an evolutionist. I believe in the literal seven day creation of Genesis. But I also believe that there was an earth before us populated with dinosaurs and prOBably inhabitated by Lucifer and his angels (interesting how he would be changed into a DRAGON after his fall) that was destroyed. There is no other place in scripture for Lucifer's fall unless you place it at the same time as Adam and Eve sinning in the Garden of Eden. It never made sense to me that God would have Noah load the ark up with dinosaurs if they were just gonna die off right away because of the climate change. Also, I remember reading once that there is evidence for TWO cataclysmic floods upon the earth. Finally, many scientists don't believe in the fossil fuel theory anymore (I've heard that most Russian scientists do not) but hold to a biogenic hypothesis of oil. You can read about this in the book Black Gold Stranglehold by Jerome Corsi.

Genesis 1:2 refutes any notion that the dinosaurs lived prior to the day when God created the heaven and the earth.

Genesis 1:2 tells us the Earth was without form and void. It was empty guys. If it was empty, there could be no dino bones from before the day God began His six-day creation.

Bones buried in arid climates do not need to be "prepared and preserved" to last for thousands of years..
Animals get buried in river floods, landslides, mudslides etc, and are also found all over the world in archaeological digs.

I agree, yet some people believe that gap theory. Yet others believe that prior to the creation days you speak of that there was some type of life on this earth. I disagree with those two theory's, and I believe all they are is theories.

It never made sense to me that God would have Noah load the ark up with dinosaurs if they were just gonna die off right away because of the climate change.

Noah took his wife and sons on the ark too and they eventually died off.

The Gap theory is just that a theory. It is a blatant lie. It was invisioned by scholars to answer the palentogist of the day because it seemed to them that they were proving evolution existed. Satan fell after the garden was planted in eden. Which mean he fell after Adam was created.

Genesis 2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

Ezekiel 28:12-19 12Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

13Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

14Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

15Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

16By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

17Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

18Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.

19All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.

Notice how he is in eden the Garden of God. He was also an anointed cherub. He was perfect until inquity was found in him. He was cast out of the mountain of God because he had sinned. He is known for his beauty and his brightness.

Isaigh 14:12-15 12How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

13For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

15Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

this is the most common verse of Satan falling. Notice the parallels Lucifer (light bearer) known as son of the morning. Ezekiel say beauty and brightness. Paul also says he is transformed into an angel of light to deceive. It is also know that he has weakened the nations and has defiled sanctuarys.

[Standing Firm In Christ]

Exodus 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it..

This verse clearly shows that dinosaurs could not have walked the earth prior to the six days of creation.

It clearly tells us that all that is in the earth was created within that six day period.

Those dinosaur bones are in the earth, are they not? Then they had to have been created during the six day creation process.

Dinosaurs--Part of God's Creation

Here's an excerpt from Kent Hovind's article.......

“Behemoth” in Hebrew translates as “gigantic beast.” Some, trying to relate this animal to our own experience, say it refers to an elephant or hippopotamus, yet neither of these have a “tail like a cedar.”

What get's me is that virtually every writer who tries to dismiss the idea that Behemoth might be a hippo or elephant, "forgets" to include a Bible word when doing so......just like Hovind has done here. But the Bible says "moveth" like a cedar; not simply "like" a cedar. Big difference when you intentionally leave words out..

JOB 40:17 He moveth his tail like a cedar:
the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.

An elephant's tail can weigh at least 22lbs, is about 4' long, and swings from side to side......just like a tree does in the wind. JOB 40:17 says nothing about the size of the tail; it only says how it moves.

[Standing Firm In Christ]

Having worked with elephants in the past (11 with Hoxie's Great American Circue and 26 with Circus World) I can tell you an elephant's tail does not move like a cedar.

Yes, it moves from side to side. But a cedar is more firm (the cedar being rooted in the ground) and does not move as much as an elephant's tail does.
