Why did god put dinosaurs on earth and what was the point of that era of earth?

[Heart2Soul]

Was this before or after the flood?

Before

 

[Eternally Grateful]

Why would god have just put dinosaurs on earth ? So there was just random dinosaurs roaming the earth for thousands of years and then a meteor hit earth and they all went extinct?? What was the point in that? I want to believe that god is real but, there’s so many things that doesn’t make sense to me

I think science has shown that is not what happened. we see dino's in the bible. most noticeably the behemoth (most believe is a brontosaur type animal)

Job 40:
“Look now at the [c]behemoth, which I made along with you;
He eats grass like an ox.
16 See now, his strength is in his hips,
And his power is in his stomach muscles.
17 He moves his tail like a cedar;
The sinews of his thighs are tightly knit.
18 His bones are like beams of bronze,
His ribs like bars of iron.
19 He is the first of the ways of God;
Only He who made him can bring near His sword.
20 Surely the mountains yield food for him,
And all the beasts of the field play there.
21 He lies under the lotus trees,
In a covert of reeds and marsh.
22 The lotus trees cover him with their shade;
The willows by the brook surround him.
23 Indeed the river may rage,
Yet he is not disturbed;
He is confident, though the Jordan gushes into his mouth,
24 Though he takes it in his eyes,
Or one pierces his nose with a snare.

Most people believe after the flood. the new earth just could not sustain them, and most were wiped out by the flood.

I just want to point out. Y’all keep mentioning the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction as just a meteor. It was far more complicated than that and did not happen overnight but over 10,000 years.

I doubt this and consider it may not true either. The earth is not even this old..

All scientific answers. including the fossil record, can be explained by the flood of noah

Taking that passage in Job apart, and understanding that this creature existed in Job’s day (well after the flood)….what is more likely? A dinosaur or a hippopotamus?

“The description in the 40th chapter of the book of Job offers a vivid word picture of this huge mammal, “Behemoth”. It is described as being herbivorous. (Vs 15) The sources of its tremendous power and energy are noted to be in the hips and in the tendons of its belly, that is, the muscles of its back and those of its belly. (Vs 16) The tail of Behemoth is like a cedar. Since the tail of a hippopotamus is fairly short, measuring about 46 to 51 cm (18 to 20 in.), this is likely to be understood as meaning that the animal can set its thick tail rigidly upright or swing it about like a tree. “The sinews of its thighs are interwoven,” so that the fiber and tendons of muscles of its thighs are twisted together and braided like powerful cables. (Vs 17) The bones of its legs are as strong as “tubes of copper,” thus being able to support the great weight of the body. The bones and ribs are like wrought-iron rods. (Vs 18) The Behemoth’s immense consumption of food is alluded to (vs 20), and mention is made of its relaxing under the thorny lotus trees or concealing itself in a swampy place, beneath the shade of the poplars. (Vss 21, 22) Even when a river overflows its banks, this creature does not panic, for it can still keep its head above the level of water and swim against the force of the deluge. (Vs 23) Jehovah asked Job: ‘Since Behemoth is so mighty and formidably equipped, would a man have the hardihood to try to put a hook in its nose?” (Insight on the Scriptures, Vol 1)

Dinosaurs did not coexist with humans, for obvious reasons I think…..

Many twist the bible to fit the evolution narrative and sciences of men . This will not bode well for them at all .
And this man you are speaking too , hims defended a girl, a fourteen year old girl
that got a double maschetomy cause she wanted to be a boy . That is not a good sign at all my friend .
Many like the way science and medicine twists scripture , because many like to justify sin .
But beware for i seen he already accused you of doing what HE himself is guilty of doing . Interpreting the bible wrong .
He does so through the lens of science . that is real bad . We should do as you wrote . TRUST IN GOD not in man .

what man am I speaking to? Help me understand just what you said.

 

[Bladerunner]

Yes…
We see design everywhere!

anybody heard of Entropy (Order and Chaos). the earth as we are falling into complete chaos. Jesus will restore this malfunction back to Order (both humans and the earth).

Lets put that to the test .

I think of things like this.

Tail like a cedar (ever seen a cedar tree in the middle east?)
Look how big they are



Does this resemble a hippopotamus tail?

Also. the greatest of all of Gods creatures. so great that only God can harm him.

Sorry. but this does not look anything like a modern hippo..

And we have evidence dino's did coexist.

It isn’t the size….it’s the function.

And we have evidence dino's did coexist.

Can you provide this evidence? It seems to me that the only “dinosaurs” to survive to the creation of man were the crocodile and the mammoth. I have yet to see evidence of any other creature that survived the flood to be co-existent with Job’s generation.…and it was God who chose the creatures that Noah was to preserve.

yet many can make the same cliam , NOT SAYING YOU , and yet
twist such words unto their own destruction .
YOU BEDDA BELIEVE satan does not come with a pitchfork and yelling
HE comes as though he is the best friend you will ever know or have
AND HE CAN SAY GOD IS LOVE . we better all be on gaurd .
The love god i see many following IS NOT THE GOD OF LOVE AT ALL
its satan and HOWTHEY HAVE LOVED HIS VERSION SO .

 

[amigo de christo]

The God I serve is the sole author of the all words in the Bible.

many love , oh my goodness they love the version of GOD and of CHRIST the devil has sold them .
THEY WILL WALK MILES TO HEAR it
and are very fast to SHUT DOWN ANY VOICE that even dares to speak against sin .
MANY LOVE THE BROAD ROAD jesus the broad road god . AND IT WILL BE A COLD DAY IN HELL
before i captilze that god and that jesus . ITS THE DEVIL . now bible time one and bible time all .

lol I gave you one we also have the leviathin

Noah was told to take two of every kind. I believe he did

We also have human footprints and Dino footprints in same area.

If you want to see it you can. If you don’t no amount of evidence will convince you

actually the existance of footprints of humans and dinosaurs
in the same area can not prove this .
many can cliam that humans and dinosuars both exisited together BEFORE THE FLOOD .
I do not buy a bit of evolution .
And if i were aunty jane , which i expose that dangerous place she is in too ,
i could respond by saying them footprints were all BEFORE THE FLOOD .
Men can do and say as men can do and say .
THE KEY is , IS what men do and say CONTRADICTING THE BIBLE . now that is the KEY .
if a man tries to bend the bible to fit evolutoin that there man is twisting things to fit the knowledge of man .
IF anyone tries to bend truth to fit an idea that would contradict scrips and fit mans knowledge , BABY they are in deadly danger .

 

[amigo de christo]

the problem with many is they always try and uses mans wisdom , his science , his philosophy ,
his etc
TO TRY and read and intepret the bible . OH DEAR IS THAT DEADLY .
BELIEVE what is written . as do a child . that be the key .

 

[Eternally Grateful]

Actually if you know how footprint fossils are formed you would know it definitely proves this

Before during or after the flood. It shows they lived together

How closely did you investigate these claims? No very, if the cursory claims I examined are anything to go off....not one single photograph has human footprints in the same place or time as the dinosaurs. The original claims came out to Russia which was under atheistic Communist rule at the time, so what agenda do you suppose they were promoting?

All the pics on Wiki were of dinosaurs and humans.....but not in the same photo. The original place of reporting has apparently never been photographed according to the sources I looked at.

Care to provide any that are conclusive?

Can you call God a liar and get away with it? There were no dinosaurs on the ark for obvious reasons I think....
