sarutobie:
Came across that chapter sometime last year..but in verse 19,what did the bible mean by saying 'it ranked first among the works of God'? Any idea?
Perhaps it means the said crature was one of the first set of aniimals that went into extintion. who knows?
One of d things i know abt the Holy Bible is that it will not mention a name or and occurence when there is no reason for it.
Another is that most of the stories sorrounding dinossaurs (except that they truly existed at a point in time), are all based on assmptions which any new discovery tommorrow could alter, but the Holy Scripture says:
" Psalms 119:89 Yahweh, your word is settled in heaven forever" .
Yet another thing I know is dat there are more questions in dis life dan answers. These answers can only be revealed by God thru His Word.
Deuteronomy 29:29 The secret things belong to Yahweh our God; but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.

Emusan:

I'm not a god but man with full evidence of God Almighty existence.

I do conceed or reason with other people but the reality of nature with evidence of personal contact with God will never allow me to agree with any fairytale of atheist scientist.

I only try to let other christians who has not had personal encounter with God and ready to compromise their faith in God because of the lies of personal interpretation of facts by some people in our universe like some atheist on NL do to KNOW that not everything......completed in my signature!

Shalom!
I don't think religious folks should accuse people as believing in fairytales. That said, dinos predate humans by millions of years. Science has proven that much. The op's error was in trying to marry epochs that were thousands of centuries apart just to lend credence to his belief system. Nice try though, only that i find it erroneously anachronistic. It is completely illogical to believe in the bible and believe dinos existed. You pick one and drop the other.

Also why is there a lack of DNA in fossils?

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the universal carrier of genetic information, is present in all organisms while they are alive. When they die, their DNA begins to decay under the influence of hydrolysis and oxidation. The speed of this decay varies on a number of factors. Sometimes, the DNA will be gone within one century, and in other conditions, it will persist for as many as one million years. The average amount of time detectable DNA will persist though is somewhere in the middle; given physiological salt concentrations, neutral pH, and a temperature of 15 °C, it would take around 100,000 years for all the DNA in a sample to decay to undetectable levels.

If fossils of the dinosaurs were less than 6,000 years old, detectable fragments of DNA should be present in a sizable percent of dinosaur fossils, especially in the Arctic and Antarctic regions where the decay of DNA can be slowed down 10-25 fold. A claim that soft tissues in a Tyrannosaurus fossil had been recovered in 2005 have since been shown to be mistaken,supporting the idea that dinosaur fossils are extremely old.

What happened to aquatic dinosaurs? I need a proper and concise explanation. How did the water affect them? Did they die? If they didn't die where are they? If they did die why did they?
Re: What Do Christians Believe About Dinosaurs? by UyiIredia(m): 4:08pm On Jul 30, 2013
dj militant: Yeah,me think so too,but man and dinosoar cannot exist at the same time,dinosoars are too large in size,hence man cannot survive in there era.

I'm pretty sure men, even without modern technology, would have survived in that era.

The book of genesis talks about the begining of man and how our present begun,it did not tell us that its the begining of the earth.let me enlighting you people to a fact.the book of revelation recorded the war in heaven and the casting down of lucifer to earth and it recorded chaos on earth when lucifer was casted and science records an astroid collision with earth.the effect of the astroid you all would agree with me was chaotic and science recorded famaments engulf the sky causing darkness upon earth and in genesis God said let there be light when creation begun and in that darkness sure if after the astroid anything survived without the sun food won't b available and so death by starvation.we also know that the magnitude of the astroid would surely displace the oceans.if you doubt my finkin ask yourself 'why didn't the bible explain how God molded the earth to being round?'.the point is that the creation records of Genesis deals with how man came about not what was before man because it doesn't concern humans.forget about trying to disproof the bible,cause they are series of account that proofs the authenticity of the bible exampl the bible gave description of the earth being round and hangs on nothing long before science made way to go to space and confirm.

there isn't much evidence to support the assumption, unless some of the dinosaurs were tamed and protecting humans.

There is evidence from jungle tribes still existing today with dangerous wild animals without the benefit of modern tech. If lions and elephants can be tamed how much more dinosaurs ?

I am always shellshocked at the way you consistently assault our common sense when you make your ABSOLUTE statements.

You need to learn to distinguish between beer parlour talk and online public discourse.

You said " there is evidence.."

So where is the so-called evidence?

Would any humans have the technology at that time, to domesticate huge beasts of that size?

Can you give explanations of how it can be done.

Find a dinosaur egg and raise it?
