True. But the Bible also does not record the location and pathway of every river and stream or the height of every mountaintop. The exclusion of that information does not preclude the existence of rivers and mountains outside the known world.

Not Tellin

I have a better question, why does it say in the bible that the greek gods were real, because the angels mated with human females. Genesis 6,4.

It also doesn't say He created cats. Not specifically anyway. It does say that He created all animals and then Adam named them. Some dino's are just big reptiles. Remember how Adam and his decendants lived for many years. I believe that the atmospheric conditions at the time allowed it. Now, if reptiles never stop growing, imagine if one lived for a hundred yrs or so. He describes a big dino in the book of Job.

Lykaion

Genesis chapter one is poem, a creation poem, that counters the creation poems of other cultures around Israel at that time. God speaks to His people where they are...no museums back then, no complete fossilized skeletons. It would have made no sense to the ancient Israelites if God spoke about huge reptiles; huge reptiles were not known. The other creation poems were known.

the bible was written long before dinosaurs walked the earth.

The Stars Look Down

The Bible doesn't mention thirteen-lined ground squirrels either, but we have them, oh yes! Some things we just have to fill in for ourselves.

Fuzzy

I don't know what kind of detail may be reasonably expected in an explanation that in one translation is 968 words including all the verse numbers!

Thus the account is brief to the point where the purpose is obvious -- it is not for the sake of giving us detail; rather, it is given simply to have the assurance that God did it in order, and that God did it.

There is an HP that claims the Bible mentions the dins. I do not make such claim. Rather, if the Genesis account was for solving a question everybody has sooner or later, then wouldn't it be enough to mention animals that existed around people rather than including extinct ones too -- remember its brevity!

This link claims the dins are in the Bible:

On this link here there is a discussion from the Biblical viewpoint and trying to solve the various problems proponents of evolution throw up.

J is right. And it was nice of him/her to take the time to spell it out for everyone.



(Not that it will convince anyone who wants to think otherwise, though.....)

One of these days, I am going to simply not read these Christian-baiting questions.
But I am always interested to see who takes the time to give a sincere answer.....

The Bishop

We have two questions in your search for an answer on this one and i will try and answer them as best as i can.

The earth as we know it today was formed from what many scientists now believe within a 10000 year time frame. The earth went through a time of renewal and was created with Man and animals as is described in the Bible and up to the time of Noah. Prior to this the earth existed with dinasaurs on it, and there was different species of Dianasaur that roamed the earth millions of years ago.

It wasnt till a major cataclysm such as an asteroid(S) that hit the earth that the earth went into darkness, and was lifeless. Once the dinosaurs had vanished its then God started to create man and the fish and the fowl and the waters and day and night etc etc. So for the beginnings of man it was the beginning. God, in the Bible is talking to man and woman. He says in Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. He is assuring us that he was the designer and creator of the world even before the dinosaurs.

When we talk about God creating the world in 6 days its not a literal 6 days. There was an extensive time period that the earth was formed and transformed and it was during this period that the Dinosaurs reigned king. Then they vanished at a time period within the creation sequence due to major upheavels in the earth and from the heavens such as asteroids. It was towards the 6th day that God created living creatures and man to occupy it. It was ready at that point for man to come and reproduce on it.
