Did mankind walk with dinosaurs in the bible yes or no?

[eternally-gratefull]

The bible says each life form was created after its kind on one day. Dino's would have been included in that day, If the bible is to be believed, then yes, Man and animal walked together.

THE age they died tells you how long they lived. the bible tells you the age of each one's death, meaning that is how long they were on the earth, even though their fathers were still living, except for Adam. We know that Adam was 930 years old plus the 5 days before God put him here. At least you know upon his death the earth was 935 years ld.

Correct so far, but as there isn't another event which started the year Adam died, you have no point of reference for later events. The point of reference is the birth of Seth, not the death of Adam.

Anyway, biblical genealogies are more symbolic than complete. 14 generations, 40 generations etc etc. These round numbers were just highlights of much more longer humanity chain.

Therefore its impossible to count the age of humanity from them. Dating is not the purpose of biblical genealogies...

Not to mention that various lines of the Genesis text differ significantly in ages of patriarchs.

Sure.....wiped out in the flood and still here today...different ecosystem before the flood as compared to today.......

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! to that I say humorously yeah well things last longer when they are pickled!

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.

In faith.

Searching.

Pro.

Well, the animals where createt in the same time like Adam and Eva, and Adam named the animals. So he met also dinosaurs and named them.
Around 30 years ago I met an austrailian. He was no christian. He worked in an aquarium. And he told me from fisherman who caught an animal like an prehistorian waterdinosaur. It was already deadt so they through it back to the sea.
All the stories about dragons, you can find around the world. The drawings and describings reminds to dinosaurs. How they could draw them without seeing them?
I am no doubting that mankind walk with dinosaurs.

Amen. Although it can be interesting to search out things in that way ultimately we are confined as a perfect law to walking by faith after the unseen eternal manner. The carbon dating technique must be calibrated by a known factor of something having a record or a person can end up with a 4,000,000 year old living mollusk.

Usually when the point of a discussion becomes the missing bone theology it can be know that men are trying to avoid the work of the gospel which has nothing to do with the temporal things seen, after the rudiments of this world to include carbon, after the philosophical opinions of men. The gospel in respect to the unseen is what converts and not guessing how old a bone is.



Colossians 2:8 King James Version (KJV)Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

2 Cor.4:18While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

the death of each first born is a close reference to just how old the earth is. the earth did not come into exsistance until God separated it from the water. only then did it become earth, known as dry land. The rest of the earth was used to make the stars and moon, and other planets., it just do not go into further detail.. it was all separated from the waters. The entire universe was a full body of water., not some small puddle.

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

I think we have had this argument before... but....

How do we know the earth is only close to 6000 years old.... The Bible tells us.

The is no evidence the earth is millions of years old..Man uses circular reasoning to measure these large amounts of time...They have to..WHat happens to Satan plan if it is determined by our scientist that the earth is only 6000 years old? We have an instant earthly revival. out goes Satan.

How is what biblical and factual???? Have you ever added up the generations of Adam to Noah. It tells you how long it was from Adam to Noah's time.....To tell time by the age of people when they die......Try it out for a bit....

The Behemoth was a dinosaur....Job 40:15-24.....Rem, all animals up until this time (the fall of MAN) were vegetarians.

"also as for the t rex being a vegi eater that is simply silly", I think T-REX may have been the result of genetic manipulation in Genesis 6. Of course this was after the fall of MAN.

This is anybodies . However,HAS? Jurasic Park park taught us that it just might be possible to obtain DNA from anything found in the ground (i.e. they have found Wooly Mammoths frozen (instantly) with fresh food still in its stomach). Could we like Jurasic Park take that DNA, add a pinch of this and a Pinch of that and build a monster like T-REX....I think the fallen angels did just that in Genesis 6. Rem, they have far more knowledge than we do and they had fresh still lively DNA to deal with..

Wrong!...Adam lived 130 years and then begat a son named Seth....Now to make correct, the next verse states that all the years of Adam was 800 years after Seth was born. That makes Adama's death at 930 years.

Gen 5:3.."And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:"

Gen 5:4.."And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:"

Gen 5:5.."And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died."


The good Lord knew you was going to ask that question?

Then on what day did he create water? The earth from the beginning is made up of dry land and water .Dry land has it purpose as does water.

I find it interesting how you and others can simply dismiss God's Words. Whether it is using "symbolism" and a reason is of no matter.. The taking away from the scripture or adding to the scripture is the problem here. You are walking on very dangerous territory.

"Not to mention that various lines of the Genesis text differ significantly in ages of patriarchs."

Got any scripture for the above statement..........?

Generations tells us many things and one of them is elapsed time from one generation to another regardless of the 40-50-60 years of a generation everyone argues about.

 

[OneFaith]

Technically we still have dinosaurs today (elephants, crocodiles, komodo dragons). Some animals have gone extinct, so who knows? One thing I do know is humans and animals were created on the same day during the same week. And the earth is not billions of years old but less than 15,000 years old. You will see this if you add up the genealogy from Adam to Christ, then Christ till now.

God did leave room for faith because without faith it is impossible to please God. We are on this earth to be tested for heaven. The bible says that His invisible qualities are clearly seen in creation so that mankind is without excuse.

So who are you going to believe- mankind who says dinosaurs lived billions of years before humans, or God Who says He created all in a week? Personally, I believe God Who has a perfect track record over man who once said the earth was flat.

 

[Budman]

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.

Uh Huh.

I think the way most people deduce how old the world is from the Bible is by adding up the ages of folks in the old testament.

 

[Gabriel2020]

That is about as close as any of us can get, instead of trying to pull a rabbit out of thin air.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genealogies_of_Genesis

As you can notice, supposed "age of the humanity/earth" can differ by thousands of years depending on which textual line of Genesis you want to use even if you believe that these genaalogies are complete and not just highlights.

Was Abraham born 1,948 years after Adam or 3,414 years after Adam?

Did the Flood happened in 3300 BC or in 2500 BC?

 

[Gabriel2020]

All first born sons.

It seems that 15,000years is a little too much. The Hebrew date is 5778, far short of 15,000.

I'm not seeing the reasoning behind your "correction" of my post. What did I write that was incorrect? You might want to check the post to which I was responding.

 

[Depleted]

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.

...IF the Bible even tells each generation.Since Ancient Hebrew dealt with numbers as words, too. And many of the begats happened to be seven generations between large events. (Seven generations between Adam and the Tower of Babel. Seven generations between that and Noah.) We really just don't know anymore.
