Dinosaurs?

[sumcallmeben]

Hey, I'm new to this forum and whatnot so forgive my ignorance if this is some huge discussion that I for some reason I can't find. But anyways, how do YEC folks explain dinosaurs? I know that the YECs at my school always just kind of change the subject whenever I bring dinosaurs up when we're talking about creation and I'm just curious what you guys have to say about it.

There was a post about this a while ago, check maybe 5 pages back.

Summary:
Dinosaurs are part of God's creation. They became extinct, probably because of changing climate conditions after Noah's global flood. They lived at the same time as man. The dating methods used are (obviously) disputed by YEC scientists. Much of the fossil record was created during the flood and right afterwards.

My grandmother-in-law believes they were placed in the rocks by the devil in order to deceive man into thinking the earth is older than the Bible claims.
I don't think she's very keen about the fact that I study fossils for a living.

And I can hear grandma telling you, "And don't get me started on those damnable isochrons!"

I get asked this question quite a bit. I just say to look to Genesis where land sea and air creatures were created. I also look to genesis for the fossil record we have today, i.e. Noah's flood

The fossil record refutes the concept of a global flood. Noah's flood has nothing to do with the fossil record.

Most dinosaurs died out by 65 million years ago, most likely as the result of a cataclysmic meteorite impact.

There are representatives of the dinosaur lineage alive today, however - most notably birds, but also animals that share a close common ancestor, such as crocodiles.

Yes, I know I'm stirring up trouble... sorry

Lol, yea. Some Older people would put their crazy beliefs in there. That really doesn't make sense.

I figure it makes about as much sense as claiming God created a universe with false history.
