“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). No biblical
evidence suggests that this verse documents an event from 6,000 years ago.
Verse 2 states: “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon
the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”
The phrase “earth was without form” actually means, in the Hebrew, the Earth
became without form and void (see Genesis 19:26 where the same Hebrew verb
is used stating how Lot’s wife became a pillar of salt).

How much time passed between the creation of Genesis 1:1 and
the ensuing destruction of the Earth’s ecosystem as noted in verse 2?
Though the Bible does not tell us—it could have been millions or
billions of years—it does tell us how the Earth came to be in such a state.
Genesis 1:2-10 indicate that the Earth was covered with water and that no
sunlight was able to pierce through the impenetrable, lethal atmosphere.
This occurred almost 6,000 years ago. Earth was re-inhabited with life.
Psalm 104:30 shows that God renewed the face of the Earth.
What caused this distruction?
Isaiah 14:12-15 sheds light on this: “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son
of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above
the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the
north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell [Hebrew: sheol, to the sides of the pit.”
The Bible tells of an impressive angelic creature that rebelled against God before
the creation of Adam. His attempt to launch a coup against God’s heavenly throne
resulted in his being thrown back down to the already-existent planet Earth.
Jesus Christ confirmed this during His earthly ministry: “I beheld Satan as lightning fall
from heaven,” He said (Luke 10:18). Thus, unprecedented Earth-wide destruction ensued!
Satan was already fallen by the garden, being refered as that snake
An ancient earth that was literally impacted by the rebellion of a great archangel so many
years ago. Any details about the Earth after the re-creation are vastly different than those
of the pre-Adamic world.
Instead of an age where colossal reptiles roamed a planet hostile to human existence, this
new age shows foliage and fruits, gardens and grains, and a dominant supply of warm-blooded
mammals. This re-creation was a different Earth in that sense—a new cast of animals, where
mammals take center stage while cold-blooded reptiles are more of a sideshow. Of course,
the reptiles are vital to the ecosystem, but their role of dominance and grandeur is gone.
This world, after the ruins of Lucifer’s rebellion were repaired, is one completely suited for
warm-blooded humankind, created in the image and likeness of God, to have dominion
(Genesis 1:26).
Man could not have dominated a world in the age of the Tyrannosaurus Rex or the Brachiosaurus.
Nor could he have survived. The fruits and vegetables, the meat, and even the pleasant beauty
and sounds of birds and flowers, were all created for the age of man.
Bible and Science Can Coexist
Rather than proving evolution, the layers of fossilized rock attest to supernatural forces at work
in nature: first, huge meteor showers unleashed by Satan’s war against God (Ezekiel 28:16-18)
and the ensuing catastrophic Earth-wide flood; and, second, the Flood of Noah’s day, caused
directly by God Himself.
Thus, there is no conflict between fossil record and biblical truth. Despite scientists’ attempts
to ignore God and discard the Bible, the facts of science and God’s Word will always agree with
and mutually amplify each other!

When destruction rained down on the Earth, rocks were laid down suddenly. Those creatures
close to the impact of a meteor would have been cremated and/or buried and baked near the
surface, as can be seen near that spot in the Painted Desert.
This great extinction wiped out old and young, eggs and elderly, small and large. No other ex-
planation can account for such a dying off of these prehistoric life forms—particularly the
dinosaurs, which, for example, disappeared in all regions of the world. It caused the extinction
of air, land and marine reptiles.
Prehistoric reptiles did not evolve into mammals. They were obliterated. The so-called Cenozoic
era—the age of man’s existence on Earth, where all vegetation and life enable human survival—
began after God re-created the Earth. Cenozoic rock, because it represents the age of man,
consists of an entirely different set of sedimentary layers and fossils than was laid down in the
pre-Adamic destruction mentioned in Genesis 1:2. In these more recent layers, not surprisingly,
fossils of the warm-blooded mammals associated with man’s world predominate.
What geologists have found in Cenozoic rock is another mass burial of life.
This can be traced back to Noah’s Flood, occurring about 1,650 years after
the re-creation of the Earth. This worldwide catastrophe was not as severe
as the pre-Adamic one, as sea life was not extinguished.

Not sure what S-c-n-c is but I am wrong because I believe G-d created the Earth in 6 days and sin did not enter the Earth until sin. And death is a consequence of sin.....
G-d said He created the Earth in 6 days, death entered the Earth when man sin, and death is a consequence of sin.
Where am I wrong or G-d's Word is wrong? Unless this S-c-n-c (I think you mean science) knows more than G-d!?! Is that what you are saying?
Words have meaning attached to them. I think dinosaurs still exist. Most of the larger have gone extinct. Most like food supply . Cost more to feed a elephant than a mouse or a ant . They will be around for a while
The word "dinosaur" is derived from Greek words; it loosely translates as "terrible lizard" from the root words "deinos," meaning "terrible" or "fearfully great," and "sauros," meaning "lizard" or "reptile.".
Even the little ones like Gila Monsters they are fearfully great.

yeah that's true. I think it is in France if I am not mistaken?
it seems to be a new species and quite complete and apparently, museums are short on funds these days for this type of acquistion, hence the auction
gonna have to be somebody with real high ceilings!
and I wish all the cute little smilies worked better? (hint hint pls fix 'em?)
