According to The Bible, the earth was created in six days, however, most religions believe that the term "day" would not have made sense at the time of the earth's creation because a day means that the earth would need to rotate once, so we can say that "day" means just a period of time, and since God probably isn't restricted in terms of time, then each day could be any amount of time, and each day might not even be the same length. Another way of explaining this is that the account of the creation was written by Moses, and God revealed it to Moses in that way, and God told Moses how it happened in a way so that Moses would understand. If God had told Moses about the dinosaurs and everything that had ever happened on the earth up to the time he created man, he would have confused Moses.

Traditional answer:

Those of us who believe in the literal meaning of the Bible need not have any problem with dinosaurs. The mere fact of their existence proves nothing about how much time has passed. In the Paluxy River diggings, fossilized human footprints were found which crisscross those of dinosaurs.

In my opinion, the existence of dinosaurs is explicitly stated in Genesis 1:21. In any case, God created them and allowed them to go extinct during or after the Flood.

Which of Adam and Eve or the dinosaurs was created first?

According to Genesis, dinosaurs were created first; they fall under the category of "beasts and animals", while Adam and Eve were God's final creation. If the question is viewed from a scientific viewpoint, neither was created - per evolutionary theory - but dinosaurs did arise first by around 64 million years.


Is there such thing as God or are people made of dinosaurs?

Before answering this question, there does not have to be just either a God or descent from dinosaurs. It is also possible for God and evolution to be true, or neither. It is best to answer the question about dinosaurs first, and the answer is that science has definitely proven evolution to be true. Perhaps we did not descend directly and recently from dinosaurs, but we did descend, millions ago, from earlier mammals. And the very first mammals did descend from dinosaurs. The evidence for evolution means that the biblical creation accounts can no longer be regarded as literally true. In fact, the early Church Father, Origen described biblical creation as nonsense, and some of the mainstream Christian Churches of today see no conflict between evolution and belief in God. So if you wish to believe in God, while accepting the reality of evolution, you may do so - just as those of other faiths can believe in their gods while accepting the reality of evolution. Finally we come to whether there is a God. Theologians and philosophers have struggled for centuries to prove that God exists, all to no avail. God can only exist in the belief of those who wish to worship him. This is a question you must answer for yourself.


Did the spinosaurus live when Jesus walked the earth?

No, the dinosaurs died out 65 million years before Jesus was born on earth. However Jesus preexisted all creation, as is said in the Gospel of John, he just wasn't on earth. He was with God the Father then, as well as during the time of the dinosaurs.
