Re.:  Dinosaurs \n\n\nI believe that God created upon this earth PRIOR TO Genesis 1:1-31, 2:1-3.\n\nI believe God destroyed all prior creation (Gen.1:2) to bring forth man created in God's likeness (Gen.1:26), with an UNBROKEN lineage beginning with Adam.\n\n\n\nPat (ndbpsa ©)

The Hebrew text of the Old Testament does not necessitate that **all** animals on earth were wiped out by a global flood.\n\nThe terms used in the text are consistent with a local/ regional flood and that the animals that were saved on the ark were ones that were relevant to the local ecology (that Noah and his family lived in).\n\nCordially,\nJohn\nhttp://www.GodSci.org\n[God and Science]

I'm Christian. I love Jesus. I also find your question really funny. A lot of people seem to find your question offensive, but I think they have missed your point! (Of course I could be wrong. You might be a horrible guy and I'VE missed the point.)\n\nI know exactly what you mean though, I have only heard this term related to Jesus and the dinosaurs!

I believe that science has established the continental drift, and that dinosaurs and humans never lived at the same time. As for christians believing in it well, the Bible doesn't say anything about either but if they believe the thing about dinos & human or disbelieve continental drift, then they must not pay too much attention to science or history.

Dinosaur is a word that was created after the King James Version of the Bible...There are references to dragons in Job and Isiah and a few other places.  Which should not be that big of a surprise because even in the Chinese calender there is a dragon. Which you can rule as mythology or whatever....but its not random to just throw a dragon in there with a rat, pig, and other common animals.

The dinosaurs fit right in. What I don't get is how more people don't see how it fits but let me give you my humble opinion. This is not doctrine, this is one man's opinion. This is what I believe. On things of God we have a couple a sacred texts or scripture, in the oldest book about God written by the hands of prophets on stone, papyrii and what not we have accounts of the creation, in Genesis the first of even the pentetauch we are given such as slim or incomplete description that it is possible that 1 billion years could pass by as we read in a matter of one stanza. It has been said that 1 day in God's time is 1000 of our years in our reckoning. So lets take the first 6 days of the creation, or in particuliar the the 5th day after he had made some grass and light and stuff. In Gen 1:20 it say that He said" Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. 21. And God created great whales, and every living vreature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and Multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. 32. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. 24 And God said, let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind; and it was so. " So that 5th day was very busy and at 1000yr /day reckoning its possible that it took 365,000 years to complete but cant know precisely yet . The beast of the earth that is referred to, also the great whales that are referred to, also refences to unicorns and all manner of beasts now extinct, isn't it possible that although not specifically mentioned that and on the 5th day about the 6th and 1/2 hour God made the T-rex and he blessed them and saw that they were ferocious. No . We only have this small wordage to assemble together the whole of creation. I dont see a problem with 17 billion year universe age and putting it into Gods plan at all. Bless you and have a pleasant tomorrow.

Fools of faith.  I always enjoy asking devout Christians if they believe in dinosaurs.  When they say yes I ask them how long ago they lived.  When they say millions of years ago I ask them how that could be when the Bible says the Earth is only 6000 years old!  It's funny watching them try to squirm their way outta that one.

The Bible is the Standard in Christianity. The Bible places the age of the earth about 6200 (+/-150) years, whereas evolution dates the earth about 4.5 billion years.  Evolution places death before sin. Dinosaurs died millions of years ago, but the first sin about occurred in the first 100 years after creation. These two will not add up.

Quran do not contain direct prophecies regarding what will happen in this world before day of resurection. But there are many statements in the Quran which are scientifically correct based on information only in during last few centuries. \n\nFor example existance sex in plants.\n"Glory to God, Who created in pairs all things that the earth produces, as well as their own (human) kind and (other) things of which they have no knowledge. " 36: 36.  \nThe word used in "earth produce" is a word nabath, which means plants.\n\nSee another verse that suggest big bang theory\n"Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of creation), before we clove them asunder? We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe? " 21: 30.  \n\nWater constitutes 80% of all living thing. Is that suggested in this verse ?

The Bible does reference dinosaurs, but other words are used in place of "dinosaur."  For example, in Job 40:15-24 "behemoth" is used to describe a dinosaur, and the word "Leviathan" is used in Psalm 104:25-26, Job 41, and Isaiah 27:1.

People unable or too lazy to think for themselves believe the nonsense that is written in the Bible.  They would have you believe that there have never been dinosaurs because Noah didn't take any into the Ark.\nAs to Adam and Eve, did they pass on the tale of their origins so that it could be written down thousands of years later when man finally learned to write?  Pardon my chuckle.

Haven't you ever heard of the Churchosaurus Rex? Big creature with a bible tail, used it to bible thump non-believing dinosaurs. I heard those ankylosaurus were a hard dinosaur to crack. Probably ended up in tar pit hell. \n\nI kid, I kid!

no because by any logic those dinosaur couples would not only have crowded everyone else off the ark, but would also have sunk it. since the bible never mentions that the ark sunk due to overweight brontosaurii, dinosaurs are blasphemy.\n\nyou do know that we're both going to hell for being involved with this question? if you bring the sunscreen, i'll bring the shades and Jimmy Buffet tape.

There is a story in the bible (forgive me b/c I forget which book it is in) but it talks about why God created different languages & why he set apart different people. It talks about race & how it was not something that was created but something that the world & the environment around us has evolved.  That is why people closer to the equater have darker skin & those farther away have lighter skin, etc.. It explains all of that so keep reading.. You'll get there.. Oh yeah & dinosaurs are in the bible as well.. Trust me..

So much info out there about your question.  Get a hold of a book by Ken Ham.......Dinosaurs and the Bible.  \n(creation scientists believe that dinosaurs were called dragons before the word dinosaur was invented in the 1800s.........)Dragons are mentioned in the Bible. It's very interesting.
