Which were first Adam and Eve or dinosaurs?

Answer 1

"Adam and Eve" were not real. They are characters in a story. It is fiction!

Dinosaurs were real and they lived way before humans evolved from other primates.

Adam and dinosaurs were created on the same day. It wasn't until later that Eve was made.

Answer 2

In Genesis chapter 1, verse 25, The Bible says, "And God made the beasts of the earth ..... and everything that creeps upon the ground (including dinosaurs) according to it's kind.". That was on the 5th or 6th day of creation.

In Genesis chapter 1, verse 27, the Bible says, "So God created man in His own image, ....male and female He created them.".

Verse 28 says, "And God blessed them .....".

Not until chapter 2, verse 7 does the Bible mention anything about Adam and Eve!: "then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; ....".

Not until chapter 2, verse 22 does Eve appear: "and the rib ....He made into a woman ....".

So, that tells us that there was already man on Earth before Adam and Eve!

Also, that tells us that if the dinosaurs were extinguished by a heavenly body (asteroid or comet), then man (and woman) were extinguished also. Answer: This is a question that cannot be answered by proof from scripture. The closest reference to dinosaurs in scripture appears in the books of Job, Psalms, and Isaiah. Only Isaiah offers any type of description.

Both through science and religion, all animals were on the planet before man.

in the Book of Job GOD talks to Job about one of HIS creations the Behemoth which had a tail like a Cedar Tree. Huge. Dinosaurs were created during the 6 standard days of creation. So pretty much at the same time as Adam.
The simple answer is dinosaurs existed before Adam and Eve. Based on the Genesis chronology, what we know as earth came into existence in the following order:

1) Earth existing in a formless, lifeless state

2) Creation of light

3) An atmosphere

4) Dry land

5) Vegetation/trees

6) Sea life

7) Birds

8) Land based animals

9) Man

So animal life existed for an indeterminate length of time before humans existed and most likely remained on the earth for a length of time after humans existed. At the time the earth was very sparsely populated and so there would be no reason why there wouldn't have been room for both species to exist together.

Answer:Dinosaurs evolved 200 million years before humans existed and they dominated the earth for 150 million years and we have the fossils to prove it.

Humans have existed for only 40 thousand years but human ancestors have existed for about 5 million years.

"Adam and Eve" were a mythical invention of ancient Hebrew priests who wrote the books later to be edited and assembled by christian scholars as the christian bible.

Answer 3

Perhaps it would be simplistic to point out that the last true dinosaurs are known to have died out around 65 million years ago, while the story of Adam and Eve is supposed to have taken place around six thousand years ago. A better could be to separate science from religion - a scientist may say that Adam and Eve did not really exist, while the dinosaurs did; whereas some theologians may say that the world is only 6000 years old, and therefore Adam and Eve, as well as the dinosaurs were created then.

Answer 4

This is a question that cannot be answered by proof from scripture. But it can be answered by science. The Bible says that Adam and Eve lived around 6000 years ago, but scientists have shown that dinosaurs lived many millions ago and became extinct around 64 million years ago.

Or we can ask an early Christian Church Father, Origen (On First Principles, 3.1.1) whether there ever were an Adam and an Eve: Now what man of intelligence will believe that the first and the second and the third day, and the evening and the morning existed without the sun and moon and stars? And that the first day if we may so call it, was even without a heaven? And who is so silly as to believe that God, after the manner of a farmer, "planted a paradise eastward in Eden", and set in it a visible and palpable "tree of life", of such a sort that anyone who tasted its fruit with his bodily teeth would gain life: and again that one could partake of "good and evil" by masticating the fruit taken from the tree of that name? And when God is said to "walk in the paradise in the cool of the day" and Adam to hide himself behind a tree, I do not think anyone will doubt that these are figurative expressions which indicate certain mysteries through a semblance of history and not through actual events.

Origen says Adam and Eve did not really exist. The dinosaurs were first (if that is meaningful without Adam and Eve).

Answer 5

Dinosaurs were created on the Fifth Day (Genesis 1:21), while Adam was created on the Sixth Day (Genesis 1:26-29).See also:

Answer 6

The Bible states in Genesis that God created all the animals "BEFORE" man was formed from the dust of the earth. See Genesis 1:25,26. Therefore dinosaurs were created first.
