Dinosaurs have been a fascination of mankind ever since the first dinosaur bones were discovered in the 1820's. The word dinosaur means 'terrible lizard.'
Dinosaurs are always thought of as huge monsters when in reality most of them were the size of elephants or smaller.
Most scientists(excluding creationist scientists) tell us dinosaurs lived for millions of years, millions of years ago. This is just theories of these scientists of course since there is no measuring stick they use to prove this. The scientists that believe dinosaurs lived millions of years ago are evolutionists and they try to fit the story of dinosaurs into their evolution views. The problem with the evolution theories is that the dinosaur bones do not show it. Ever go to a dinosaur museum and see a partial Triceratops? No. But if the dinosaurs evolved then where is the partial Triceratops? Every Triceratops in every museum is 100% Triceratops. There is no fossil evidence of animals that are part dinosaur and part something else. These scientists also believe that dinosaurs and humans never lived on the eath at the same time. The only reason these types of theories exists is because these scientists like to try and disprove the bible and promote their evolution views.
The bible on the other hand gives us clues to dinosaurs and humans living on the planet at the same time. First off, bible scholars tell us that the Hebrew word for day used in Genesis 1 can only mean an ordinary day in this context. So when the bible tells us that God created the earth in 6 days, then it was 6 actual days. Some scientists will tell you that 'who knows how long each day was, each day could have represented years.' That is them using theories with no proof again.
In Genesis 1 we read that God created beasts of the earth and man on the 6th day and then on the 7th day He rested. The book of Genesis was written by Moses in the 16th Century BC and describes events that took place between the 4th and 3rd Millieneum before Christ. That means roughly 4,000 to 3,000 years BC. That would show that dinosaurs lived only 5,000 to 6,000 years ago.
So since the bible tells us that beasts and man were created on the same day, that would say that man and dinosaurs lived on the earth at the same time.
Then what happened to the dinosaurs? Evolution scientists will tell you many different theories to the dinosaurs demise. Here are some of those theories;
Dinosaurs starved to death; they died from overeating; they were poisoned; they became blind from cataracts and could not reproduce; mammals ate their eggs. Other causes include-volcanic dust, poisonous gases, comets, sunspots, meteorites, mass suicide, constipation, parasites, shrinking brain (and greater stupidity), slipped discs, changes in the composition of air, etc.
It is obvious that evolutionist don't know what happened and are just guessing. Why else would they have so many different reasons? In the bible, scholars believe that the flood that covered the entire earth is the reason. This is when we had the story of Noah's Ark. The creatures that could fit were placed inside the Ark by either pairs or in sevens and the rest all drowned. This would include the large dinosaurs that were too large to fit in the ark and they drowned too. The creatures who drowned were buried under the mud created by the flood.
One fact that I find interesting is that no dinosaur fossils have ever been found in the Iraq/Saudi Arabia region(also know back then as the Garden of Eden). This is the region that people lived in prior to the flood. Dinosaurs have been found in every region in the world except this one is very interesting and makes the story of the bible even more believable.
So if you care about this subject then I hope you enjoyed this blog. As I see it, you can either believe the theories that date back to the 1820's or you can believe documents that were written 1,600 BC. Me personally, I believe written documents over someones theory anyday.

The lack of scientific knowledge simply screams off the page. As a person of both faith and science, you do a disservice to both.
1. Evolution is a theory. This really shows your lack of real scientific knowledge. First and foremost, scientists and laymen do not define the word theory in the same manner. The layman considers a theory to be a guess or an opinion, totally lacking in scientific support. The scientist considers a theory to be a logical, tested, and well-supported explanation. For a scientist, a theory is not a guess, a hypothesis is a guess. In science, the term "law", which laymen confuse with fact is an honorific. To a real physicist...it is Newton's Theory of Gravity. It is Newton's Law of Gravity to the layman.
2. Man and dinosaurs roamed the planet at the same time. Aside from the movies, dinosaurs and man did not coexist.
3. Creationists claim there are no such things as transitional species, so therefore there is no such thing as evolution. In otherwords, you believe there is no such thing as a "partial triceratops." Perhaps, that is because it may be called something different. The overall problem with creationism and intelligent design is that both (and they are really the same thing) expect that there is a "great chain of being" and that man is the ultimate evolved species and that they fail to recognize transitional or intermediate species (which are not always the same thing). In the modern world, the platypus is a transitional species. It is a mammal -- it has fur rather than scales, the "palms" of it clawed paws are without fur, and it nurses its young. Yet, those same young are born in an egg sac, not "live" like other mammals. On the otherhand, sharks, which are considered by some palenthologists as a "living fossil" have subspecies, which bear live young. The problem is the creationists "ladder of progress" in which many believe that the ultimate species is man and from man to angels and angels to God. This viewpoint fails to accept that certain species have "niches" in our world and their existence is not strictly linear. Having a strictly linear viewpoint fails to recognize the important role that insects play in returning dead trees and dead animals to the forest floor.
3. No dinosaur fossils have ever been found in the Middle East...Are you kidding me?! The Tanystropheus was an aquatic or semi-aquatic dinosaur. Its remains have been found in China, various places in the Middle East and as far west as Switzerland. In modern Israel, mosasaurs, elaphrosaurs and nothosaurs have been found. In addition to fossilized remains, dinosaur footprints have also been found. And while we're at it...oil is in fact comprised of dead carbon tissue, some of which is probably dinosaur.

Your comments completely showing that my blog is right on and I thank you for writing it so all the people can see the foolishness that you wrote.
1. Tell me where the proof is that something is millions of years old. If you say their is theory is correct then back it up with proof. Don't just say it cause scientists who believe in evolution say it.
2. Again, where is your proof that dinosaurs and man did not coexist? Again you make statements with no proof to back it up. The bible does say that man and beasts were created in the same day.
3. A far as your number 3 comment goes, shouldn't there be something in the museum that is part Triceratops and something else? Who cares what they call it. The bone structure should be at least partially Triceratops and there is no such thing. Show me one picture of one if I am wrong.
4. Apparantly you didn't read my blog too well or you would have seen that I did not mention the whole middle east. I only mentioned the Saudi Arabia/Iraq area where the Garden of Eden was. And I defy you to show me any proof that dinosaur bones were found there. Infact, the inspiration for why I wrote the blog was that they for the first time recently they found dinosaur bones in the country of Yemen.
You are no different then scientist. You offer no proof, just ramblings. At least the bible gives us written documents, where is your written documents prior to the 1820's?

Its all really simple justsayyeah7. God created life. Lifeforms adapt to its environment...evolution of life. God created environment. Environment adapts to its lifeforms...evolution of earth.

The fact is, no one knows how we got started. We take scientists' word for things because it would be impossible for every person to do their own research themselves. As to that, can you prove every word in the bible is true? Were you there? Or are you taking someone elses word for it too?
Even if the bible is the "word of god" the fact remains that it was written by men. In many cases, decades or even centuries after the alledged events. The same way science books are written.
We all have to take someones' word for something else, we do it every day of our lives. And if you believe in god, more power to you. I was raised pentacostal, I just chose a different path after a while.
Live and let live. I'm not asking you to change, I really don't care. Just don't ask me too, either...
Thank you for allowing me to share my views.

there are many thousands of museums in the world ... thousands of private collections ... trillions upon trillions upon trillions of fossils ... NOT ONE OF A TRANSITIONAL FORM ... NOT ONE
Most people are ignorant (please listen I did not say stupid) - they just do not know how truly inaccurate dating methodologies are ... they depend on theories which rely on constants ... constants that make assumptions without proof positive testing ...
keep up the good work
