Did Dinasaurs exist

[strikerchris0411]

Do you think a God who deceives (places dinosaur bones to make us think they existed) is worthy of worship? I don't.

The fact that dinasaurs exist in the first place may decieve


Dinasaurs either way decieve

Dinosaurs existed. 65 million years ago (the 125 mile-diameter crater is under huge volumes of sediments at the end of the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico if you'd like to see it) the earth was hit by and asteroid -- an earth changing event. A great deal of life went extinct at this point, including most of the dinosaurs. It's no coincidence that we have a crater dated to the same time as the ending of the Dinosaur fossil record. Seismic and radar data have confirmed that the impact altered the shape of the earth's crust. I attach here a picture for your viewing pleasure.

The first picture should be a radar photograph, focused beyond the sediments. It can see the depression caused by the crater. The second is the way the crater was first found: an absence of ground-water springs (cenotes).

No, the existence of something cannot be deceptive. It is others' conception and teaching about the existence of something that is deceptive. THe point is, dinosaurs existed. One can either accept it and make theological sense of it, or one can deny the existence of something which GOd has created and spread false ideas about it.

Millions of years ago? And you are a Bible beleiving Christian? The Bible's timeline is no longer than 7,000 years. This earth did not exist millions of years ago.

Actually, present man's timeline is only about 7,000 years. We have no idea how much time could have passed between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2.

Besides, God has always used darkness to separate one thing from another. Therefore in Genesis 1:2, what was the darkness separating? God had to create darkness at some time to separate something, but what?

Very interesting subject. Let start out by telling you guys where I come from on this.
I believe in a literally 6 day creation ( yes that is 24 hour days) I also believe that what we call dinosaurs did exist. What we have to deal with here is not a question on the age of the earth as we do not have the answer for that. The debate over the time of creation is a phyllisological one not senectific. As we can not recreat the event and no one now living outside of God Himself witnessed it.
Now see how this fits. The word dinosaur has only been exsistence for a relatively short time. So how might these creatures have been referred to before. Maybe as dragons? Also we know from the Biblical account of the time before the Flood that men lived for really long life spans so what not other creatures. Can you imagine a 500 year old Komto Dragon ( reptiles never stop growing as long as they live).
Now consider this as man populated he needed more room and who wants to share their living area with really big predators. So he man killed off the the critters he did not want around. This with shrinking habitate would creat an estinction scenario not unheard of. Think about all the places that the Griuzzly Bear use to roam comparedto now. See What I mean?

No, the existence of something cannot be deceptive.

why?

It is others' conception and teaching about the existence of something that is deceptive.

Then you can't say that dinasaurs never existing can be decieving

He point is, dinosaurs existed. One can either accept it and make theological sense of it, or one can deny the existence of something which GOd has created and spread false ideas about it.

So now you are right and people that say they didn't are wrong. YOu weren't alive to see it firs hand, you can not say you are right and others are wrong.


also don't get mad, I just wanted to see what yall think.

Then you can't say that dinasaurs never existing can be decieving

Sure I can, because dinosaurs did exist. Therefore, to say they didn't, or that their remains were simply placed on earth, shows that GOd is deceptive. Such an idea should be rejected.

So now you are right and people that say they didn't are wrong. YOu weren't alive to see it firs hand, you can not say you are right and others are wrong.

Yes, I am right. I wasn't alive to see the Holocaust. That doesn't mean it didn't happen (even though there are some who believe it didn't). The facts are facts, though. Therefore, to deny the same is just foolish.

also don't get mad, I just wanted to see what yall think.

Don't worry, I don't get mad. It's only a forum, after all.

I agree with your biblical scenario of long life spans accounting for creatures in the fossil record which no longer exist in those gigantic forms today. In creationist literature though, the existence of fossil fuel depostis like coal and oil plus massive fossil burial graveyards of dinosaurs and other archaic creatures is evidence of their mass extinction as a result of the world-wide Flood. The longer life spans of mastodon, wooly mammoths and 10 generations of Noah's descendents may also account for their distinct morphologies in the fossil record after the Flood and ensuing Ice Age receded.

 

[strikerchris0411]

Unless you are 100% sure, which is impossible then you can't say that someone saying opposite what you say is decieving. No matter what evidence says, unless God comes down here and says they did we will never know.

Yes, I am right.

That means someone who doesn't agree with you is wrong

I wasn't alive to see the Holocaust. That doesn't mean it didn't happen (even though there are some who believe it didn't). The facts are facts, though. Therefore, to deny the same is just foolish.

But can you osay 100% that it did happen?

Don't worry, I don't get mad. It's only a forum, after all.

Yay!!!

Sorry to move it again, but the creationism forum wasn't appropriate for a thread that included debating. A minor mistake which has since been corrected.

As you were.

The dinosaurs existed, 65 million years ago.
