Please Explain the Existence of Dinasour Fossils

[Dedicated Mind]

G.T. Haywood wrote a small pamphlet entitled, "Before The Foundation of the World". In it, he describes each day of creation as being a 7,000 year period. If you read Genesis chapter 1, you will notice that on the 5th day, God said, "let the waters bring forth." On the 6th day, God said, "let the earth bring forth." Haywood says that the 5th day was a 7,000 year period of the dinosaur age. The 6th day is the current period we are living in. The 7th day is a period we have yet to enter. Lucifer's rebellion could have occurred at the end of the 5th day, destroying the dinosaurs. He was already a serpent by the beginning of the 6th day in the garden of Eden.

I had a pastor who taught that also. That each "day" of creation was 6000 years long. The 5th day creatures were reptilian or cold blooded. Then the 6th day creatures also included warm blooded animals. He taught that we are currently in that 6th day and when God said, "let us make man in our image" He was speaking to the Church --that God and the Church are making man into the image of God --that image will only be completed at the resurrection when we take on His image and likeness (ref Philippians 3:20-21, 1 Corinthians 15:49, 1 John 3:1-3, Psalm 17:15). If I remember correctly, Bro. S.G. Norris also taught that the days of creation were 7000 years long also so this would be a pretty common teaching among ministers who were influenced by Bishop Haywood, Bro. Curts, and Bro. Norris.
