Dinosaurs
 
I did a search and did not see anything so if it has been posted before sorry. Here goes.

Do you beleive in Dinosaurs? I'm speaking of the big & bad with long teeth, weighing tons. LOL

Do you beleive in the old saying cavemen?

When do you think they (dinosaurs or cavemen) were destroyed according to Genesis chapter 1?

How do you think they were destroyed?

Last, What do you make of the word REPLENISH in Gen. 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

This one's easy. The word means to fill, to make full, to fill a place with anything. To be filled, to be full. To be fulfilled or completed.

Sometimes things like this happen because it doesn't make sense any other way, but this doesn't look like one of those times from a quick glance. I don't know they the translators used replenish here vs fill. Maybe it meant something different in KJV English than it does now (this happens to be pretty common in the KJV).

Yep. Seems to be the case.

Interesting reading if you're so interested. :)

Nahkoe, I want to revist Gen 1 for a second. KJV verse 27 "So God Created man....male & feamle created he them." Ending of day 6. Then in Gen 2:5 "...there was not a man to till the ground." This seems to be after day 7.
Verse 7 He formed man of the dust of the ground.

It seems something happened along the way.

Yes. I also believe they are mentioned in the Bible. See the "descriptions" of "Behemoth" in Job 40:15-24, of "Leviathan" in Job 41:1-34, and in Psalms 74:14. Some people and translations have this as a hippopotamus and crocodile. However, look at these two creature's description in the Bible and you will see that there is no way it can identify those two animals as a hippopotamus and a crocodile.

They have found fossilized footprints of men and dinosaurs together.

We have primitive peoples with us today. Some of these aboriginal peoples could be called "cavemen" in the sense that they live a very primitive lifestyle. Therefore there has always been 'cavemen' on the earth.

How do you think they were destroyed?
Cavemen were never destroyed - they are still with us. As far as dinosaurs, see Ps 74:14 Yet, everyone not in the Ark was destroyed with the flood.

Maybe it should be asked, "What does the Hebrew mean in Gen 1:2 where it (the Hebrew) could also correctly be translated, "the earth "had become" without form and void?""

We did some reading online once when my son was really interested in learning about dinosaurs. It's some speculation, but very interesting reading anyway.

I beleive there were dinosaurs once.
I can understand to some degree about the primitive lifestyle of some today relating to the caveman.
When you said "They have found fossilized footprints of men and dinosaurs together" that's the caveman I'm speaking of.
I think something happened on day 5 in creation, that caused the dinosuars and what ever else was here to be destoryed.
Could it have been when Satan was cast down to earth?
The in verse 28, go and replenish (Hebrew; fill) the earth again.

But, there is no *again* to that word in verse 28. It's fill. Period. Not fill again, not what we use the word replenish for now. Fill.
