dinosaurs

[mrcorey]

Do you believe there were dinosaurs? If so, do you believe they were giant lizards like creatures? Like a Brontosourous {sp?}, or a teridactal?

Or do you believe they are a figmant to man's imagination?

Pterodactyl are not dinosaurs. They are flying reptiles. What makes you think they are figments of our imagination?

ok dinosaurs.. short summary

The term "dinorsaurs" didn't come about until the mid 19th century if I have my dates right. Until which point, they were refered to as giant lizards. There are, however, many theories about dinosaurs. There is the theory that they became extint before the flood, however, these "lizards" are mentioned in Job as creatures with "tails of cedar". I wish I had the verse on hand, but those are two theories. In other words, yes, there were dinosaurs. It is biblical.

Job 40 and Job 41 both mention dinosaurs.

They were created on day 6 of the Creation by God and were named by Adam (what he named them we have no way of knowing, but he didn't call them dinosaurs).

There are many dinosaurs bones that have been found still fresh, with red blood cells in them, proving they didn't live millions of years ago.

could you please provide some links about the fresh (relativly) bones?

A lot of Bibles make a mistake in Job, where they call it a hippo, or an elephant, but what is described in Job has the tail of a cedar tree, which is huge, and neither the elephant, or the hippo have that attribute. I have heard some speculation that there might have been dragons around, just a rumor I have heard in different Christian circles. Shalom

deadman -

A T-Rex fossilized bone was accidently broken, and soft tissue was found inside.

Somehow in the fossilization process, the internal tissue - which was free of decomposing bacteria or fungus - got surrounded by fossilized material, so it stayed preserved.

I wouldn't say it "proves" anything, though.

Besides, for like the millionth time, the earth is only 6128 years old

6129 to be exact...

just kidding

can you please show me the info on this please? I'm very interested in how any untreated tissue has survived even 1,000 years without total decay. Plus the followup work on this could be a very interesting read.
