Hi guys

So I was just watching this video Kent Hovind on dinosaurs and the bible.

https://youtu.be/lSDb7iBTg70

[video]https://youtu.be/lSDb7iBTg70[/video]

And that video connects a lot of dots and will do for most people who've ever pondered this!

And I sent it to my brother on WhatsApp and this is what he sent me back this..

hmm now this is one I never understood !!.. how the bible ie the word of God, go from in the beginning Bla bla bla ... and totally miss out the billions of years that dinosaurs roamed the earth etc. ..I'm a lil pickled atm tbh lol so I won't watch this just yet.. but my mind is Def seeking knowledge on this matter bruv. for sure ! xx

And I'm with him and I hear him! Especially on the pickled part! :D to that I say humorously yeah well things last longer when they are pickled! :D

But seriously though how would you answer this?

According to the bible the earth or humans have been here for thousands of years. But science says (according to carbon dating) we have been here for.millions.

How do we explain this apparent gleaming anomaly?

Thanks guys.

Stories about dragons are mythological, not zoological.

I suppose they have roots in bones of dinosaurs ancient people were discovering all the time.

Pottery is mostly fabricated in a modern era, some few ancient originals can be just a good ability of a painter to imply how the bones looked like in a living animal, the same thing as today´s scientist do to give us the look of a dinosaur.

When I was in grade school, dinosaurs were hundreds of thousands of years ago.

During college, they crept up to a few billions of years ago.

How many billions of years ago are they now?

Because, honestly? Either I'm a whole lot older that I think I am, or "scientists" have been spinning a fish story.

There is some fossil evidence to support the contention that men and dinosaurs walked the earth at the same time.

It is this kind of stuff that fuels the young earth verses old earth argument.

I have wondered about this subject. I mean the evidence that they existed is obvious and lots of animals have ancestral traits that can be traced back to the dinosaurs themselves, but the bible shows no actual evidence of dinosaurs at all even dragons are barely mentioned and that is normally as a symbolic meaning to describe the devil or something.

I mean lots of people have tried to put the pieces together and have made some speculations that is more like a poor attempt to show mention of dinosaurs in biblical times but at the end of the day that's really all we have is speculation and theories. There is no concrete scriptural evidence of them and besides I find it very hard to believe that a giant rampaging T rex that is known for it's furious hostility and endless blood thirsty hunger could exist where you just go about your daily lives.

Perhaps old T-Rex was a little more passive than you think or roamed in more remote areas of the earth. Surely pre-fall T-Rex as like a pussy cat in his disposition.

I say no, but it's not impossible that they lived at the same time as the previous human race destroyed by the great flood (save Noah). Maybe you can find something in the other ancient text that were excluded from the bible.

Dating by means of Carbon-14 is only good to about 100,00 years, after which so little would remain that it would be essentially impossible to detect. However, C-14 is found in fossils, rock layers, diamonds, all of which are allegedly millions of years old.

Dating by radio-isotopes of other kinds could conceivably provide dates of millions of years, but the elements aren't normally found in living tissues (or fossils).

There are several problems with dating by radio-isotopes. First, there are too many unknowns, so the whole field is speculative at best. Second, samples from identical sources of known age (decades at most) have been dated differently, in the millions of years or more. Radio dating is simply not a reliable source of information.

There is a description of a creature in the Bible that doesn't fit any commonly-known creature today, but fits well with some of the larger dinosaur types. See Job 40:15-24. Dinosaur bones have been found with tissues intact, as in not fossilized, yet studies of decay rates on recently-living tissues indicate that it breaks down in far less time than the popular theories demand.

Yes, the earth so far is around 5778 years old. Yes, man did walk with Dinosaurs...All of them including T-Rex were vegi-dinos.


Yes, it is Biblical and factual.

NO, Carbon dating is not good for millions of years...It is only good for 3-5,000 years depending upon the specimen....

AND YES!, Kent Hovind knows what He is talking about, when talking about Creationism and Evolution. He has put many debaters for Evolution to rest.

Rem this,, the word Dinosaur was not a word until the late 1800s.

Ok a few things. First how do we even know the earth is only close to 6,000 years old? It's not like the bible gives the age of earth and there are tons of evidence that the earth has been around for millions of years. I am not saying it's true I am just saying we have concrete evidence for one and not any for other.
Second you say it's biblical and factual how is it biblical and how is it factual?
What evidence do we have that it is both biblical and factual? If it cannot be proven biblically and scripturally then we have no solid foundation of which to base it on. also as for the t rex being a vegi eater that is simply silly

The earth is much older that 6000 years. From the death of all Adams descendants to Abraham is 12,337 years. The age of each one's death calculate the years. Not to mention, from Abraham to Jesus was 1,680 years ,which comes roughly to 14,017 plus from Jesus to this day has to be calculated. This is the birth and death of every first born.

Yes. The Bible tells us death did not enter the world until sin. Now either G-d knows what He is talking about or ALL OF SCRIPTURE IS JUST AS FAKE!!!! EVEN THE MESSIAH STUFF!!!! I BELIEVE G-D!!! YES, MAN WALKED WITH DINOSAURS!!!!



Scripture is very black and white; it takes humans to screw it up!!!!!

If I read you correctly, you made an error.

The age would properly be calculated from the birth of one generation to the birth of the next. For example, in Genesis 5, we have "When Adam had lived one hundred and thirty years, he became the father of ... Seth. ... All the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years."

Adam: 130 (not 930!)
Seth: 105
Enosh: 90
...
Noah: 500

Total time from Adam's creation until Noah's sons were born: 1556 years.

That won't be your last question if you continue in reading the bible. :) In some cases, you may want to ask your brothers and sisters in Christ...but when you really need an answer you can rely on, you'll want to take it directly to God in the name of Jesus.

Love in Jesus to you,
Kelby

There are two basic questions that lead to three different answers to your question.

Question 1: Is all that purports to be Science truly scientific; or is a large part of what purports to be science in fact a religion called Secular Humanism.

The Scientific method of inquiry is based on observable repeatable experiment. So called 'Scientific theories on the origins of the universe and the origins of life are NOT based on the scientific method. They are based on a desire to refute the Bible because to acknowledge a creator implies an obligation to be subject to Him.

If we accept the idea that Genesis 1 is indeed God's Word, and reliable then a second question arises.

Question 2:

Does the creation account in Genesis 1 describe original creation or does it describe re-creation after a cataclysmic event.


The grammar of the Hebrew language allows and strongly suggests {but does not demand) that there is a gap in time of undetermined duration between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2, and/or between Gen 1:2 and Gen 1:3; and that Genesis Chapter1 describes re-creation after a total destruction perhaps caused by the fall of Satan.


In either case the six days of creation were literal 24 hour days. While it is true that the word translated as 'day can mean an indefinite period of time; indefinite periods of time do not have evening and morning.

If Genesis 1 describes original creation; then humans and dinosaurs must have been contemporary and the earth is approximately 6,000 years old.

If Genesis 1 describes re-creation; the sun, moon, and stars; as well as dinosaurs could be part of a previous creation; and the earth could be as old as 'scientists' think it is.
