Try to answer

If we are suspose to take Genesis how its written; than God made the world and everything in it in 7 days. 1 day is 24 hours long. Where did the dinosaur bones come from, since dinosaurs were suspose live on the earth before man?

This seems pretty simple: dinosaurs did not live on earth before man. This is the idea of men who do not believe in God.

The real question is: what has become, or is going to become, of those men? Try to answer that one....

My Husbands Bible had an article on this topic. Here is what it says: It is probable that the 6th day is when God made them. The Bible doesn't specifically mention Dinousaurs though it may refer to them using such terms such as monster (Psalms 74:13), dragon (Rev. 12:3), or behemoth (Job 40:15-19).....They probably did not have the term dinosaur back in those days just whatever came to their mind is what they called them. When they seen something of that size that was that big i'd be scared too.

Actually, God did it in 6 days. Dinosaurs did live on earth before man, but only by a few hours at best. As to what happened to them and how did their bones end up where they did, that is also dealt with. Like everything save a handful of animals, they drowned. As to the specifics of how the flood worked, and to additional evidence of the flood as described in Genesis (it wasn't just a big rainstorm), may I suggest looking up information on hydroplate theory. There is also a bunch of decent information available at www.drdino.com. If you want more information, I will be happy to help. It was this subject that God used to bring me to Him.

According to the Bible, mammals (dinosaurs) were created on the 6th day!

In the beginning there was no earth or sky or sea or animals.  And then God spoke in the darkness:  “Let there be light!”  And right away there was light, scattering the darkness and showing the infinite space.  “That’s good!” said God.  “From now on, when it’s dark it will be ‘night” and when it’s light, it will be ‘day’.”

The evening came and the night passed and then the light returned.  That was the first day.

On the second day, God made the earth and over it He carefully hung a vast blue sky.  He stood back and admired His creation.  “That’s good too!” said God and the second day was over.

The next morning God looked around and thought, “the earth needs to be a bit more organized.”  So, He put all the water in one place and all the dry land in another.  When He had finished that, God made plants to cover the land.  Dandelions and daffodils appeared.  All sorts of trees and grasses began to grow.  “It’s looking great”, said God and that was the end of the third day.

On the fourth day, God looked around and though, “the daylight still needs a bit more work and the night is just too dark.”  So, He made the sun to light the sky during the day and the moon and stars to add a bit of sparkle to the night.  He hung them in the sky and stepped back to look at his work.  “This is coming along very well,”  said God. 

The next day, God turned his attention to the water he had collected in the oceans.  “I want these waters teeming with life!”  As soon as He said it, it was so.  In no time, there were millions of small fish darting through the shallow water and huge fish swimming in the ocean.  God made birds, too.  He sent them soaring through the air.  “Ahh, that IS good!, “said God.  The dusk fell over the water and the sky grew dark and that was the end of the fifth day.

On the sixth day, God added creatures to the land.  He made lions and tigers and bears.  He made rabbits and sheep and cows.  He added everything from ants to zebras to the land.  But He still felt something was missing.  So God added Mankind to enjoy and take care of all that He had created.  God looked around and was happy with all He had made.

After six days, the whole universe was completed.  On the seventh day God had a nice long rest and enjoyed looking at all He had made.

 THANK YOU GEORGIE AND MR B.
I AGREE WITH WHAT YOU BOTH WROTE!  SORRY ALLEN I DISAGREE WITH YOU.
I ALWAYS ASK WHERE IS IT WRITTEN!!!

[howellh7]

i agree with georgie, and as for these bones GOD let man find them so they may know that he is GOD alone and the creator, but he hid the ark from them,may the Lord keep us on fire for more of his knowledge.    BTW my name is dean a servant of our Lord and Savior

[kje123]

Welcome Dean! Good to see you found the boards!

Not so sure it is really all that important to me who agrees with me; so there is no need to apologize...but thank you!

Anyway, wolf's question is one concerning the age of the earth and the account of creation in light of "the evidence" of dinosaurs, e.g. what men say about the age of dinosaur bones goes against the Word of God. I'm pretty sure the question was not one concerning "hours." In fact, I know it wasn't.

In this, dinosaurs did not live on earth before man. Not sure why this is so debatable. Could very large animals have been created the same day as man? Why not? Were they "dinosaurs" like men say? Probably not. Was anything here 250 million years ago? No. How do I know? Because the Word of God says the earth is about 8,000 years old and I'm not one to call God a liar. Blessings!
