Creationist thoughts on dinosaurs?

[Akita Suggagaki]

No i believe satan took animal like lizards, snakes, etc.. and brought about a distorted/corrupted version of animal life.

Before the fall? What about the serpent in Eden?

Genesis 6

 

[d taylor]

Except that water is a resource that can be constantly replenished via the atmosphere.

Oil is not such a resource and cannot be replenished except under VERY specific circumstances, and we are running out of oil.

I will believe we are out of oil when i see it.

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

Fair enough. Also, I said running out, not run out.

What are Creationist thoughts on dinosaurs?

I believe they are the dragons, satyrs, behemoths, and leviathans mentioned in the Scriptures.

Some type of serpent-beast talked to Eve in the Garden -- probably a dragon.

Exactly what it says on the tin: What are Creationist thoughts on dinosaurs?

I'm curious and I would like to know.

One of the ideas I've heard in answer to the claims there was no room in the ark for all the animals, is that the kinds of animals there, were limited —not that there was only one kind of bird, or canine, that became all we see, etc. but that there were a lot less kinds of birds and dogs than there are now. The idea about the dinosaurs, then, is that several kinds of lizards were there, perhaps relatively young and small. I happen to believe some dinosaurs still exist, and we just don't call them that.

Creationists have all kinds of ideas. I'm old enough to remember some creationists claiming there never was such a thing as dinosaurs. But, like most things, you can't simply group all creationists together. I'm one, but I have no problem, for example with God making a universe 14 billion years ago.

Do yourself a favour, go to the creationist museum in Kentucky, marvel at the pictures of domesticated dinosaurs being used by people.

That is also the bases of Greek mythology humans became gods: satyr,etc....

Genesis 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

Oh wow! Never come across that one before. That's... that's certainly novel.

Never go to a Sinclair station in the US of A?

Fossils of Dinosaurs today prove that they existed. I believe in creation but I am certain God didn't create in 6 days x 24 hours. He created all creatures including dinosaurs. Later the dinosaurs died from many reasons. Perhaps the last if them were drowned in the big flood.

Ye flood drowned the ichthyosaurs and mososaurs?

 

[roman2819]

Ye flood drowned the ichthyosaurs and mososaurs?

I said Perhaps the last of them were drowned in the big flood. Perhaps the last dinos did not include ichthyosaurs and mososaurs, who had died earlier from other reasons. We certainly know next to nothing about dinos except that fossils indicated they used to exist, so God must have created them.

A few errors to note-

The named creatures disappear from the fossil record at same tine
as dinosaurs.
There is a huge body of knowledge
about dinosaurs, "next to nothing" is a
gross mis statement.
"God must have created them" is
a statement of opinion, not of fact.

Statements about effects of a flood that
never occurred are entirely contrary to fact.
This, like " next to nothing" shows no familiarity
with the subject matter.


Guesses and baseless opinions are fine for children
and games but not so much elsewhere.

That’s not a dragon. Dragons are Hexapoda.

Yes, i am very familiar with this verse

OK ... so ALMOST "next to nothing". Whatever we know is still very little is what i mean.

"God must have created them" is a statement of opinion, not of fact.

Do you believe in evolution or creation? or hybrid? I believe in creation but not in 6 days x 24 hours

Did you have some point to make about dinosaurs?

I dont believe in evolution.

" Believe in" is faith.
I dont have faith in or believe in the
properties of gasoline.
I understand that gasoline burns, and why.
I understand evolution.

If you " be.ieve in" a flood killing dinosaurs,
thats your biz, but as it is contrary to all relevant
data its just a "believe- in" , completely
free of supporting facts.
So plz dont suggest any equivalence between
someone understanding and accepting evolution,
and believing in such as a flood.
