If it is 100% accurate, then why have there been NO dino skeletons found along beside human skeletons?
He is my great (x14) grandfather. 14 generations in 500 years.
The atmosphere was a lot different back then—pink instead of Blue today. They have ice core samples with air bubbles, so they know how much more humid it was. The only reptiles to survive are turtles and alligators. They both require very wet conditions. There were primates and mammals, but they were different from today.
No one knows. What you should be doing is wrapping that in a bundle of faith that somehow, man is not getting things tight. I already mentioned one possibility, that the past was not the same as today and basic forces and laws worked differently. there were all sorts of little creatures and bacteria like things etc etc that probably made a far more efficient recycling and disposal system for dead bodies. We could not figure that out by looking at todays laws and forces and today's creatures etc. So why would God not have had thing more perfect in the beginning for the cycle of life and rapid disposal of remains? Maybe in the beginning it was perfect and then after the fall, it was still closer to perfection than it is today! Maybe at first, after the fall, a few small creatures started to be able to leave remains. Later as time went by, more and more kinds of creatures started to be able to leave fossil remains. So if man was not able to leave any remain at all that would be there and fossilized when the dinos were also there and able to leave remains enough to be fossilized, so what? That does not mean all kinds were not here. It just means all kinds did not leave remains. Then, after the flood and my guess is about the time of the tower of Babel, our current nature and laws came into place. Since then I would deduce that the fossil record was accurate. Not before. Now the flood was probably 70 million imaginary years ago or some 4500 actual real years ago. The reason for that, once again, is that science uses only this present nature and laws to determine all dates.
The proof that nature was the same does not exist. It is all a matter of belief and choice of what to believe. Since God spelled out what happened, there is no excuse to chose wrong.
While it's only a matter of three days, years cannot be counted without the sun existing. Years are literally the time it takes the planet to orbit the sun. No sun... no orbit. Days, on the other hand are the length of time that it takes for a planet to make one full rotation on its axis. So days will begin to pass from the very moment that the earth was commanded to exist, so long as it was created spinning on its axis.
Personally, I think you have an incorrect understanding of what life on earth was like through the first thousand or so years of its existence. The face of the earth was not covered with people for quite some time and so just like lions living in Africa, many dinosaur species may have lived in specific areas of the earth that were not much inhabited by people. Even if you have some tribal group that moved into the area of the dinosaurs, it's not like there would be millions of people living alongside them. Further, the human body doesn't last thousands of years decomposing. So, there could well have been many humans that lived among the dinosaurs, but we don't have their bones to see them there because they have decomposed, as God says, from ashes to ashes and dust to dust.
I absolutely agree! And as far as I'm aware, that's not a position that I've mentioned as holding. All I'm saying is that realistically, without the sun, years don't pass. Because years are determined by the completion of an orbit around said sun. But the passing of years has absolutely nothing to do with the passage of time that equates a day.
Because if that premise is true, then we know that the fall into sin came before any of them were born. Which means that it would have had to have been within the first 80-100 years of the earth's existence, or less. Remember all I said was that the Scriptures do give us some clues as to a period of time that we can know that the fall must have happened. I'm not trying to pinpoint a day or even week, month or year. I'm just saying that according to the time evidence found in the Scriptures, the fall had to happen before Cain and Abel were born. We know that they were born before Seth was born and that they were surely adult men when Cain killed Abel. Understanding that it takes a newborn child, which Cain and Abel would have been, some 20 years or so to grow to be adults, then the latest that the fall could have occurred would have been within that first hundred years of the existence of life upon the earth.
In its earliest days, Earth was a hot, chaotic, and molten mass, surrounded by gas and dust that blocked sunlight. Over time, as the planet cooled and the atmosphere developed, light could finally reach the surface, transforming it into the bright world we see today.
God bless you my brother. Your thinking and opinions are very flawed!
I appreciate your opinion but in the end, that is all it is.
Can you explain how ANY opinion would have a flaw ?
There has never been any human remains found with dino's remains because they were separated by 65 million years.
I think that you would agree that discussions/arguments are attempts to persuade others by providing reasons in support of a particular claim or conclusion which are almost always tainted with a bias or an agenda.
Right, there was no time to count a year yet on day three or four. I suppose they could have counted it a something like 1/200th of a year. The sun is not needed for days. It was put here to help us mark them and heat etc etc. Neither will it be needed in the new world
Gen 5:3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth
He may have been keen, but it also may not have been easy and fast. He may have been working on it for awhile
As is yours
Says you. That is false. Dinos were not created before man. In fact they possibly could have been adapted from kinds that already existed into a large form. (such as birds, reptiles etc) You don't get to make a statement that they did not coexist. I already explained that if the past was different, bones could not represent the full range of life. Period.
Unless dinos quickly evolved/adapted from other existing kinds, and it took some more than 9 centuries to do, then yes Adam and dinos were here together.
Actual time is about 4500 years ago. Your dates are bad religion and cannot be supported and are only falsely thought of as science. Really
Nonsense. It links to la la land imaginary time. It simply assigns belief based dates to existing strata.
In other words based on the belief that all creatures died and had remains that acted the same. Ho hum. No possible proof for that. It is a faith based belief that the past was the same in basic nature and that this nature is responsible for all we see!
During the time of the dinosaurs, Earth's atmosphere was quite different from today. Here are some key differences:
No, in the earliest days the earth was exactly like it is now, but covered with water. Nothing blocked out the sunlight. That was the entire purpose of God's creating the atmosphere. That the sunlight would make all the vegetation grow and the rains would fall from the clouds of water above the earth. As I understand the Scriptures, when God first spoke the earth to exist from nothing, it was a ball of mass covered in water. And I believe it was spinning from the very first moment of God's speaking it to be.
And I never said that. There can be absolutely no light in the entirety of the universe, but if the planet that God created within it was spinning at the moment of its coming to exist, then as soon as it spun once upon its axis a day would have passed. It would have been a dark day.
Maybe, but they can be confirmed within the Scriptures. They just can't be confirmed through the scientific method.
As has been previously explained, that's not the only reason that we might not find any human remains alongside of dinosaurs. You can't present that with any evidence to prove its truth.
What I posted was a direct quote from AI. That is fairly dependable as to what Science has to say. For me as a Theistic Evolutionist, I see no conflict between Science and the Bible. In fact, Science along with history gives us the best evidence we have in how accurage and true the Bible is.
