1. the existence of dinosaur was only known at recent times through the discovery of fossils. Hence, the name dinosaur was given to the species recently, not at the time it existed
2. The names that all living things or creation bears today were never the names that was given to them during creation. For instance, lion was called something else not lion.
The name lion is even the common English name : panthera leo which is the latin scientic name wasn't even the name of the species some thousands of years ago, rather it was something else.
Quick question. How do you know animals had a previous name prior to what we have now?

Is it my saying God had created every other creature before creating man or it is possible that dinosaur must have been created and got extinct before man was created or homosapien evolved from the created man?
Which one?
I say IT IS POSSIBLE THAT..
I didn't say the bible said..
This is second guessing.
It aint healthy bro. The Lord might be sending thunder to destroy your ass as we speak. Better ask for forgiveness

MaxInDHouse:
Who recorded this event 7,000,000 years ago?

What do you care about facts?

kkins25:
So you equate wisdom to scams and deceptions? wow! wow!

Welcome to the fruity world of MadMax. Strap on your seatbelt and helmet bro

There is this thing they say about fools at 40, let me check.

Right. So get checking sire. Merry Christmas

tctrills:
How old are you?

Late forties. Any problem, sire?

paxonel:
From the account of creation, God had created every other creature before creating man. Genesis 2:5
It might just be possible that dinosaur must have been created and had gone into extinction before the creation of man who knows?
That even the current homo sapien was evolved from the original created man, whatever it was, who knows?

You just committed this sin
Proverbs 30:5-6
Every word of God is tested;
He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.
Do not add to His words
Or He will reprove you, and you will be proved a liar

Revelation 22:18-19
I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book

“Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.” (Deut. 4:2.)

You're second guessing your god and the Bible which is a gross sin
Nowhere in the bible was it stated that dinos were created and gone into extinction. Remember they were all chilling in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve, and he named all of them. So if the dinos were extinct before Adam, how did they get their names?
And nowhere in the bible was it stated that homo sapiens evolved from its ancestors
Be warned

tctrills:
The aim of the bible is not to debunk all false teachings. But if you are sticking to the bible, you would learn that after creating the chimps, God chose to make man from sand and not from chimps.

Whats the relevance of your post to what he said

paxonel:
they same way they assumed and thought that the earth was flat until the mid 14th century Galelio had proved otherwise
dinosaurs ?
Noah's ark ?

Of what use is the correlation?

Everything that survived and roamed the earth was camped in the ark during the Great deluge. So how did the dinosaurs fit in Noah's Ark?
And how do u fit in evolution in the Bible, since it wasn't captured in any form there?

Backlaw406:
Why on earth you will compare non-living things with living things? Does the brand of cars you're comparing with the theory of evolution has genes and DNA as living things?

No leave am. I wan tackle am irrationally, like I'm dey tackle us. He's not interested in logicality or rationality

Dtruthspeaker:
You made Mannequins and mascots in your image likeness, are they like you?

But your god actually said we're in his own image and likeness. I haven't made any mannequins and I'd definitely not say I'm related to them

Dtruthspeaker:
Obasanjo and Oshiomhole look like monkeys or monkeys look like them (don't care) There was a girl classmate is secondary school who looks like a flat fish. There is another one who looks like a horse. The stick insect looks like a twig. Trees have faces and aha Zuma rock has a face. Is there any issue here? No. Not at all.

I'm asking you Slippery Snake. Are you related to apes? Its a yes or no question, sir

Dtruthspeaker:
Religious section is for God people to be vocal.

Its a yes or no question, Mr slippery snake. Is Nairaland religious section for Christians alone?

Dtruthspeaker:
The confession highlighted here proves it.

This is religious section, God Followers are supposed to be vocal here like saying a children's party should be quiet and sober like a funeral.

So religious section is strictly for Christians alone?

Dtruthspeaker:
Because the same Creator tends to often create things similarly. Exactly as some people can tell the creator of thing through the style and flow of that thing eg I can tell a Volvo anywhere anytime. There is always a flow the creator of Volvlo maintains.

And this earth has the flow of God running through it.

So you agree youre similar to an ape?

Dtruthspeaker:
We already know that evolution is a lie and fabrication of using the Truth to lie.

The mere fact that matrix and vibe or Isuzu and Honda passport look alike does not mean that they evolved from each other.

The creator created them to look alike. It's as simple as that.

Hold up! Your creator made humans almost like apes(both genetically, morphologically and physiologically) , even gave humans tails, and then said humans are in his image and likeness. Are you saying your god is ape-like?

Dtruthspeaker:
Yet, we see you are even spending so much time desperately trying to silence God followers up to the point of direct insults. No one would do that for a Person who does not exist.

Compare theists vs atheist posts on Nairaland, and tell me who is more vocal. Compare my religious post counts to someone like yours, Max etc. Who is more vocal on Nairaland religious section?
Most atheists are chilly. Doesn't mean there aren't militant ones. It boils down to personality. Some people are loquacious in nature

Backlaw406:
That I don't have actual answer for if they know or just choose to ignore the concept and theory since it doesn't align with their book. Or, let us say, some know, but choose to follow their beleifs and everybody have right to their beliefs whether it can be proven or not.

They say, 'love is blind" you can't call who is in love to their partner faults and agreed with you. Even if they agreed with you, that doesn't end the love they have for their partner. What I'm trying to say is that, that example above goes with the theist, they so much beleive in the faith and that makes them blind to the truth. And I'm not surprised on that. We don't expect everybody to sleep and lay head on the same side. And that even caused the evolution of technology and science. You can't be doing thing in the same way and get different result.

Yeah. I agree. Everyone is entitled to their belief, but where I draw a line is when they forcefully try to convert unbelievers with threats and bodily harm. I don't see any atheists waking people up early in the mornings with loudspeakers or prayer cries, or spraying their neighbors with saliva in the name of preaching in the bus. No we cool with being on our own. But theists won't let us be

Steep:
So when has claims turn to evidence?

"Because the researchers only found dental fossils, they can only speculate about other details of Epirigenys lokonesis's appearance. "We can say that this species was an herbivorous animal of 70-100 kg with a size close to that of a large sheep," said Lihoreau. He thinks Epirigenys likely looked like a small and slender hippo, and was likely at least semi-aquatic, if not fully aquatic."

They found a dental fossil and conjured up/speculate tales that fit their narrative and gullible gobble it down without questioning, so much for elightment.

Great. So how come the 2 mammals share several genetic materials together?
By the way, with the way yall theists scrutinize scientific research, do you apply the same to your Bible? Because if you do, youd become an atheist or agnostic at worse. You still believe your Bible 100% even though no historical or archaeological evidence backs it up

Steep:
intelligence can only come from intelligence, life can only come from life.
No evidence of macro evolution not even historical data support such.

That's why I said theists lack biology knowledge. An example of macro evolution is evolution of hippos from whale-like creatures in the sea called anthracotheres

LordReed:
So that fanatics like you can hurt us?

He forgot theists like him are murdered regularly in the North. Ask him to go there and practice his christianity if he likes being bold

Workch:
Really, the Flying Spaghetti Monster and the invisible pink unicorn also exist?

Yup

paxonel:
No scripture in the bible has debunk the possibility of Evolution and natural selection as a thousand years is like a day before God.

In other words, the seven days creation might implies several seven thousands of years or even light years.

EVOLUTION IS REAL

Really? So why are your fellow theists foaming at the mouths that its a lie?
If you believe evolution, then where did the dinosaurs fit into Noah's Ark?

Steep:
Maco Evolution is a complete facade. Nobody disprove that fact that minor alterations cannot happen once in a while but for a specie to become another specie entirely is a lie. Humans where never chimps. In fact the shared similarity by life forms Is a proof of God.

How does similarities with chimps prove god?

Backlaw406:
That is true, evolution is real with every proven evidences. Every critical thinker knows that.

Question is, do theists know or care?

Dtruthspeaker:
All because he does not believe in your religion.

All because he posted a daft post. If he knew what atheist means he wouldn't make that post. Someone that is angry at your god doesn't automatically become an atheist. An atheist believes theres no god. So how can he be angry at somebody that doesn't exist?
See how daft y'all are?

Give the drug to your two year old baby and let him do justice to it nah, after all he will only take it into his body!

Already given the young chap the syrup. What's next?

MytyD:
U see ur self
Science can be completely know because it's ever changing,what might be true today can be very false tommorow

That's why we have the scientific steps
Observation
Hypothesis
Theorisation
And conclusion/advancement

Scientist once believe the world was a flat floating disc does that make it true idiot??

Even Stephen Hawkins the grandfather of the black hole(as he's known) said science can't prove nor disprove God
Go and order he's book

Stephen Hawkins

[b]Hawking was an atheist.[365][366] In an interview published in The Guardian, Hawking regarded "the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail", and the concept of an afterlife as a "fairy story for people afraid of the dark".[307][138] In 2011, narrating the first episode of the American television series Curiosity on the Discovery Channel, Hawking declared:

We are each free to believe what we want and it is my view that the simplest explanation is there is no God. No one created the universe and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realisation. There is probably no heaven, and no afterlife either. We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe, and for that, I am extremely grateful.[367][368]

Hawking's association with atheism and freethinking was in evidence from his university years onwards, when he had been a member of Oxford University's humanist group. He was later scheduled to appear as the keynote speaker at a 2017 Humanists UK

As usual, theists talking rubbish

Rayban25:
Bro theres something you need to realize about atheists I discovered long ago....atheists KNOW that there is a God...they only behave the way they do either because a prayer wasent answered or went through a certain tragedy that left that with a very deep emotional scar that conditioned their mind into believing that God is a wicked God who dosent care or answers prayers...I was actually once like you but in arguing with them I saw a Similar pattern in their thought process and then understood

This one is up there as one of the daftest theists alive. He should give DTruthSpeaker and Maximus a run for their money

MaxInDHouse:
Funny atheist!
You've come back!

You can't twist this one on me, right?

The following article was in a scientific Journal. This should put paid by daft theists asking why we aint still evolving

[b]Seven million years after we left the chimpanzee lineage, a study found 155 new genes in humans, suggesting that we are still evolving. The study has been conducted by researchers from Alexander Fleming Biomedical Sciences Research Centre (BSRC Fleming) in Greece and Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland. They said that the newly-discovered genes emerged from small, non-coding section of the DNA. According to Science Alert, these genes appear to play crucial role inhuman biology, making the discovery extremely important.
The study has been published in the journal Cell Reports.
"This project started back in 2017 because I was interested in novel gene evolution and figuring out how these genes originate," said Nikolaos Vakirlis, a scientist at BSRC Fleming and an author of the study.
"It was put on ice for a few years, until another study got published that had some very interesting data, allowing us to get started on this work," the researcher added.
Taking the data from the previous study (published in 2020), the team behind in this new study created a genetic tree comparing humans to other vertebrate species.
The scientists found that some of the newly-discovered genes can be tracked all the way back to the earliest days of mammals, while others are more recent additions. Two of the genes identified by the study seem to have emerged since the human-chimpanzee split, the researchers found.
"We sought to identify and examine cases in the human lineage of small proteins that evolved out of previously noncoding sequences and acquired function either immediately or shortly thereafter," the team wrote in their published paper.

Panadol has DOSAGE as directed by the maker so you must BELIEVE (TRUST) what the maker wrote on the pack otherwise overdose or under dose will not yield positive result.

Whats the dose of paracetamol?

He is convinced that there is no Creator
He says he is an ape and a by product of the self processing of his first ancestor which is the bacteria
