lol

It's all speculation, but you could either go with the thought that they lived concurrent to man at some point and then died out for whatever reason...maybe having to do with the Flood....but...that poses a bit of a problem because it seems there'd have been dinos on the ark in order to go in keeping with their being pairs of everything aboard....and I dunno if the ark would hold all the dinos...lol

Or you could take the days of creation as many years of time each, such as the day = a thousand years thought.... And say that the dinos died out before man was created....

That is a bit hard to explain the carnivorous nature many of the dinos were believed to have had because carnivorous nature didn't exist until after the Fall....



Or, you could ask somebody like CC1, I think he was there when it happened.

Such disrespect for the elderly! If we are talking dinosaurs I would have to defer to the AMF brethern or the UPCI staff who thought the pre Haney look of the Pentecostal Herald was leading edge.

I have never - not once in this lifetime - heard a Christian response to the existence of dinasour fossils.

Anybody know of any good source material?

Ken Ham and the people at CRI publish good stuff, from the Apostolic Perspective Arlo Molenpah has good stuff, he has a PhD in Science so he is a reliable and well thought out expert, plus his son Sam is a great guy and friend of mine.

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.
