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.



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?""

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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!

You bring up a good point TJJJ.

I have been taught that only land creatures & fouls were on the Ark. Fish were not. A croc can live in water yet has to come up for air just as whales. The problem with croc coming from the dinosaurs age with me is where did they rest. That's a long time in the water for them to make it with no land to reat on. Were there trees floating around and they got out of the water to rest? I don't.
