Dinosaurs

[apothanein kerdos]

I have another question for any old earth creationists... since the bible clearly states that different stages of creation took place during different time periods (whether these with 24 hour days or hundreds of millions of years). So does this mean that for millions of years the earth had plants but no animals, and then over the next periods of millions of years, animals began to appear? Also, wouldn't this mean that the first half (roughly) of creation took place with no light... or without stars/sun anyway, obviously light came from somewhere because God seperated it from darkness before the sun and stars came to be.

So often we look the creation account and make it completley earth centered. THe thing is, and it's hard to fathom, at some point in the history of the universe there was no darkness or light. Thus when God created "light" and "darkness" He was creating the physical laws which would dictate what would compose light and darkness. If you think of it this way, when you see a computer program you're seeing a bunch of numbers in a code that puts a certain projection onto the screen. God had to program the physical laws before they merely occured.

The first sign that the Lord gave was at Cana, He turned water into wine. The wine was mature wine, the best wine, what He was showing us here is that He was the creator and that He could bypass the natural process because He had devised it.

When man was created in the image of Elohim he was created a mature adult, 30yrs old the same age the Lord began His ministry and His trial in the wilderness.

What we can deduce from this is that the creator was able to create each and every part of creation and create it in maturity.

Oil, coal and gas are fossil fuels and there is a natural process in which they are produced. As with the wine at Cana the Lord by passed the process. Fossil fuels were placed in the earth at the time of the creation, and they didn

Well I'm starting to wonder if anyone really knows for sure on this matter...

Perhaps my personal theory on this should be "God created it and now it's here"

Dinos????? like Jurassic Park dinos????? I say God loved them enough to have them in the world......

Last I checked this wasn't about God loving dinos... but you know... that works too

[LadyGunivere]

i was kidding but yes I believe dinos existed even believe that man walked side by side with some of them. Call me a fruit loop but that's just my opinion. They died off due to the flood and climate change. just my 2 cents Love ya Keilan!!!

I think they must have been really big.

And vicious, and stuff.

LIES! HORRIBLE LIES!!!

We caught one!

Look out Barney...

Back in the 1980's a Japanese fishing ship pulled up an almost completely intact Pteradactyl! Theory: "Well, er....I uh.......ummmmm.....OH YEAH!!! Here it is: It was frozen in an ice berg for the last 60 or 80 million years, and just thawed out......and was sinking.......slowly.....to the bottom of the ocean, when these guys just happend in this 1 in 100 trillion chance, to snag in in their net......YEAH, THAT'S IT!!!"

OH yeah?!?

Hmmm...*thinking... ...thinking deeply*...Interesting theory...are you serious about this, Leonard?

Truster,

I would advocate, before my response, that so long as we both agree that God started it and kept up with it, there was a literal Adam, and there was a literal fall, the rest is just details.

My question to you is why would God go to all the trouble of placing millions upon millions of fossils in the rock sediment if those animals never lived?

Dinosaurs did exist there is proof they did - they could have been wiped out in the flood of Noah - the science behind this is that wherever you find a dinosaur fossil there are usually alot of them at one place - this would happen in times of a flood as all the bones would float to a single area - this would explain finding alot of fossils together this would also explain finding dinosaurs in perfect preservation as the flood would have drowned them

Noah took dinos onto the ark with him. However I think that the climate may have changed, the canopy of water that surrounded the earth that created perfect conditions and climte for people to live 1,000+ years was gone as it was brought down to create the flood.

I am surprised no one has mentioned the coelacanth. This was part of the extinct animals and classed as a dinosaur, however it wasn
