I'm quite perplexed by the question. lol

You think all those fossils are fake? Or, what are you asking?

I think there's a lot about the world we still don't know, and creatures still alive we haven't discovered yet.

I don't beleive that is was the flood that done the Dino's in.

Been hard to get some of them on the Ark.

Actually, all evidence points to the flood being local but "worldwide" as far as humanity was concerned since everyone but Noah and his family was killed.

There have also been extinction events where over 90% of species were destroyed as a result of meteor strikes. Just looking at the size of the craters shows that the impact would not have resulted in "colder Winters" but rather world wide chaos and near total darkness because of the energy released.

So if I understand you correct, in verse 28, God said go (fill) the earth. Who was to fill the earth? What we call cavemen? It does not appear to be Adam at this point.

I'm not sure I beleive in the "colder winters" but I do see the total darkness and no sunlight for things to grow.

Please read my other post. I do beleive dinosaurs were real. Just when did they fit in according to the 7 days in Gen. and what happened to them.

Verse 7 He formed man of the dust of the ground.

It seems something happened along the way.

I don't know.

Looking at it, I think it's the same story, just an expansion on the creation of man in chapter 2. But, I really don't know for sure. I haven't looked at it in depth enough.

Not just 'colder' but the whole Earth was frozen for many years.

I do believe they existed.

I really haven't studied creation a whole lot (recently). I'll get to it sometime.

Oh, fwiw, I don't believe in a literal 7 days. I think that's one case where the word would have been better translated as a length of time. But that'd be awkward so "day" was used.

I feel dinos werejust big lizards, relative to the croc or other lizards. The problem with reptiles is that as long as they are alive they are growing bigger and bigger. A 20 ft croc will have possibly lived 80 - 100 years. Before the flood we see where men were living over 900 years, so it is possible that reptiles could have lived and grown as long. A 300 year old croc would have been huge!

Let's say a huge meteor hit the earth years ago. Nothing but dust fills the air. So thick no sunlight gets down to earth. Everything dies. No sunlight so no heat. Everything freezes. I don't have a problem with that. Can I prove it one way or the other. NO
I beleive it was at the casting out of Satan from heaven which caused the events to take place that destoryed the Dinosaurs. That may have been what Luke was talking about in Luke 10:18. It may have happened just as stated above.

By no way do I buy into the flood killing them off.
