I have personally been to Glen Rose Texas to see the Pauluxy River Bed where there are STILL dinosaur footprints AND human footprints in the same layer of rock, crossing paths with each other AND even interlaced.  \n\nOn top of this, there are many other evidences that dinosaurs lived with man (ie. Inca burial stones/cave drawings etc.)\n\nThere are even evidences that some dinosaurs are still alive today although in a smaller version (research cryptozoology) (ie. loch ness monster, ogopogo, mkele-mbembe) \n\nSeeing that Dinosaurs... and the earth for that matter (to be  discussed in another question) are not millions of years old, what other explanation for the earth is there than God created it in 6 literal 24 hour days.

I'll check the sites out.\n\nThere are so many evidences beyond this that God created everything. \n\nThere is order and design in the universe that cannot be explained.  It couldn't just happen.\n\nMutations are degenerative.  There hasn't been a mutation that crossed the line of species that hasn't been degenerative.  \n\nI absolutely agree that God created everything in 6 literal 24 hour days.

I believe in the Bible.\nThe Bible says that the world was created in six literal 24 hour days, is around 6000 years old, that man and dinosaurs lived together (being created in the same week), and that there was a flood that totally covered the entire planet, killing off the vast majority of human, plant and animal life on the planet.\nThe amount of scintific evidence that supports this theory is simply staggering, but rarely given a chance to be heard or seen due to the wide-spread acceptance of the evolution theory.\n\nDid you know that the earth's rotation is slowing down? So if you back up in time a few million years, you have to speed the earth's rotation up proportionatly - you can't even go back a few million before the earths rotation becomes so fast that life on this planet is not possible anymore. - Much less 4.6 billion years.\n\nThe orbit of the moon is growing a little bit farther away from the earth every year, so if you back that one up a few million years, the moon would have been so close to the earth that the tide would have come so high it would wipe out all life on the  planet twice a day. - 4.6 billion years ago, it would have to have been touching the earth,  not oribiting the earth.\n\nI could go on for many pages like this, but follow the link below to find out more about that the Bible says about creation, and what scientific examination of these claims have shown.

You are right.\n\nCenturion: I hope that you only are asking this question sarcastically, in order to give an example of the silly questions that creationists ask, so nobody has to explain that obviously species take separate evolutionary paths, based on their environment, so that the same species in different environments will eventually evolve into different species.\n\nUnknown: What do you mean by a fossil of a creature turning into something else?  That doesn't really make much sense, seeing how all creatures are in the process of turning into "something else" - we just don't know what the future of evolution holds.  Haven't you heard about the recent discovery of the fossil of the "fish" which helps to provide evidence of the transition of animals from water to land?  I don't really know what you mean by saying that there are no "missing links" - there are thousands of them!  I just ahve the feeling that no number of missing links would be sufficient.  Between any two species it will always be possible ask for a "linking" fossil, and since there cannot be an infinite number of fossils, it will always be theoretically possible to say that no missing links have been found.\n\nmamcrackin: http://www.sci-tech-today.com/story.xhtml?story_id=12200044CLXE\nsee my comment above that no number of misssing links will ever be able to "prove" evolution.  If half-man/half-animal were found (and they have been, just look at all the fossils of the earlier human species) creationists would just ask for 3/4 man, 1/4 animal fossils, and then 7/8 man, 1/8 animal, and so on.  \n\nindiebaptist: Her point is that while there would be fish fossils evenly dispersed throughout the layers of earth, non-aquatic animals would be clumped in one layer - the layer during which the flood occurred.  This is not what we find when looking at the fossils in the layers of earth.  The great flood was also gods way of killing a lot of animals who had done nothing to deserve that punishment. by the way, hovind's PhD (from a non accredited school) is in christian education, not biology or any other science. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_Hovind  \nI really have to wonder where you are getting your facts from.  Darwin wasn't a lawyer, and even if he was, you are citing the work of someone trained in christian education, not science in order to support your belief.  How is that any better?  In any case, Darwin was formally trained to be a clergyman, but studied a lot of the natural sciences on the side. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Darwin\nRegardless of darwin's training, his theories must stand on their own merit, as his has done, and not on the credentials of their creator.

in some parts of the ocean it can be miles deep. the ocean covers 2/3 of the earth, and we find new species in it all the time. there are still many primitive species alive today, such as the shark and the horseshoe crab. they are species that are millions of years old. i think that there could be many more dinosaur related species yet to be discovered. it's completely possible.

Thank you for the article- it had some interesting insights!\n\nI have long thought that there was something odd in the part of Genesis 2:1 and the phrasing Genesis 1 used. I've been looking for things that explained it and your article did just that.\n\nIt simply makes no sense that the God who sent His people to the wilderness for 40 years would have (or needed to) rush the planet in 6 days, then fake various items to make it seem much older. He does not work that way at any other time, so why then?\n\nI have said for years that when the Bible and science or reality conflict, our understanding of one or the other is flawed- and I think we've really messed up our understanding of the Bible!

The theory that Satan put the dinosaur bones on this earth to confuse people and make them doubt god and what the bible says. \n\nConsidering there are modern day descendants of dinosaurs still roaming the earth.

We can't really prove it. All their insides were decayed, so the only evidence of them being reptiles is their bone structure. But for all we know, they could have been fuzzy, warm blooded, dinosaurs. There is no way to determine either way scientifically, because we can't see a live one.

earth is a living thing man, it is still not stable, but you have to look at it in time frames... we've only been here for so long.. it was stable for the dinousaurs for a while.. at least before it got hit with a comet, it had to go back and fix itself

I believe it is about 6,000 years old, based on a plain sense reading of the Scriptures alone.  The Bible also explains dinosaurs very well. Dinosaurs are land animals. Land animals were created on Day 6, thus dinosaurs were created on the same day as Man, and Man walked with dinosaurs originally. The dinosaurs, like all the others, were vegetarian in their diet. There was no death before the fall, and all ate plants and fruits. The sin of Adam changed many things, and perhaps carnivory began after the fall. Two of each kind of dinosaur went up the Ark (the rest died in the flood waters), they left the Ark, and many went extinct like any other animal that has gone extinct. We have stories and legends of men dueling and killing monsters or dragons which are most likely based on the encounters with surviving dinosaurs. You won’t find the word “dinosaur” in our Bibles because it was a word invented in 1842, after the Bible was translated into English. Instead we have words like Behemoth and Leviathan which are descrined in detail in Job. And when dinosaur bones are being dug up, there are no tell tale labels about how old they are. In fact, scientists have found red blood cells and muscle tissue when they cut opened the T-Rex fossils. The implication of this finding is that the fossils aren’t millions of years old.

I have studied this topic for nearly 4 years. I believe it is less than 7,000 years. I had trouble with this until I saw how things are dated. Then I knew that there was no "proof" of anything over  about 5500 years old. Every thing over that age, whether 20,000 years or 4.5 billion years is speculation. I have worked in the science industry for about 30 years. I know my way around a lab. I certainly don't know everything, but I know these old dates given to fossils and rocks are speculation. Recent discoveries in DNA and Micro-biology have placed serious doubt in a lot of scientist minds about evolution. I know for a fact that creation is debated by scientists daily. Many can no longer support theories once held by the majority.

A necessary note from Pablo. \n\nWhere is the Ark of the Covenant? The Ark of the Covenant mysteriously disappeared 2,500 years ago. Amateur archeologist Ron Wyatt claimed he found it. It is important to realize that three of Ron’s many discoveries are widely accepted: \n\n\nThe Turkish government has officially proclaimed that Ron Wyatt found Noah’s Ark. \nIsraeli tour guides take visitors to the site Ron Wyatt identified as the sites of Sodom and Gomorrah where the cities, although turned into ashes, are still visible. \nAnd most investigators believe his discovery of Mount Sinai in Saudi Arabia, as well as the site of the crossing of the Red Sea by the children of Israel. \n(Necessary is to say that lately some immoral "investigators," in order to make money through their books and videos, have attempted to appropriate for themselves these last two discoveries by not giving proper credit to Wyatt when they make their presentations of it). (For some evidences of Wyatt's discoveries see links at the end of this article) \nNotwithstanding all the above validated discoveries, many so-called "skeptics" — Christians and not — still doubt Ron’s claim that he found the Ark of the Covenant and go to all extremes to deny it. Why? Because its acceptance would entail too many serious consequences for many uninformed Christians unconsciously affected by the all-encompassing Replacement Theology, for rabbinic Judaism, for all pagan religions of the world and for Evolutionism. In other words, its acceptance would deeply revolutionize the fabric of human society due to its "disturbing" spiritual ramifications. Therefore, Satan will use any and all his minions in order to try and stop the information on this page to be publicly known, and most of all accepted. Read on, and let the Spirit of the Almighty tell to your heart and your mind what the truth is. I know that his truth can make you free — or freer. \n\nPablo \n\n\n\nThis article describes in detail the most amazing and important discovery ever made in Archeology. The finding of the Ark of the Covenant by a Christian amateur archeologist, Ron Wyatt — a real Indian Jones — in 1982. Here you will find out why you might have never heard of it before despite of its proven reality. In this description there are many things that are amazing enough as to leave the blockbusters of Steven Spielberg deep in the dust. The reality and significance of what Ron Wyatt discovered in so fabulously mind blowing that only God, the ultra-imaginative Creator of the Universe could ever had conceived the most portentous element in this discovery. If you have Christ in you, be advised, you will cry. I did. It is also necessary to say that Wyatt made his phenomenal discoveries (this was not the only one, here you will read about several in connection with the sacred Ark) by strictly following the indications given in the Bible and by tuning with God in prayer. He proved that God uses those less likely to do His work on this earth ... and the results are awesome that lead to you bow and worship Him who has no equal in Eternity. To Him all Glory. To Wyatt thanks in Heaven. And to you a huge surprise lies ahead. Read on. \n\n"For nothing is secret,that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad."   Lucius (Lukius, Luke) 8.17 \n\n\n\nIntroduction To The Discovery\nRon's Studies\n\n\nWhen Ron Wyatt returned to America after his unusual experience in Jerusalem, he studied the Bible closely, noting the last time the Ark's location was mentioned. He discovered it was when King Josiah of Judah wanted to reform the country, "Moreover Josiah kept a Passover unto the Lord in Jerusalem; and they killed the Passover on the 14th day of the first month. And said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which were holy unto the Lord: 'Put the Holy Ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of

Fools of faith.  I always enjoy asking devout Christians if they believe in dinosaurs.  When they say yes I ask them how long ago they lived.  When they say millions of years ago I ask them how that could be when the Bible says the Earth is only 6000 years old!  It's funny watching them try to squirm their way outta that one.

There are massive amounts of evidence to support the contention that extraterrestrials have been visiting earth for thousands of years, and have greatly influenced humanity's religious history.  I suggest you read a book called "the 12th Planet" by Zacharia Stitchin.  He is a biblical scholar and ancient languages expert.  The first 80 pages or so of the book are very dry, but if you can get through that, it will amaze you!  Most of the stories from the first 5 books of the Bible were actually taken from much older stories, which can be directly linked to the ancient Sumerian culture, 6000 years ago.  The stories of Adam and Eve and the Great Flood are both taken directly from Sumerian stories, for example.  The Hebrews literally just changed the names of the Sumerian gods to Yahweh, and changed the names of the humans involved.  Anyway, a HUGE amount of evidence exists that these "gods" were really just extraterrestrials.  There are descriptions of them flying around in aircraft and spacecraft, of them having battles with advanced weapontry, etc.\n     For those who think this sounds crazy, ask youself this:  How did the ancient Sumerians know about the planets Neptune, Uranus and Pluto 6000 years ago, when these planets cannot be seen without high-powered telescopes, and we only discovered them within the last 200 years?  It would be literally impossible for them to have this knowledge, but they had it nonetheless.  They said that their gods told them all about these planets.  They also believed that their gods were from a red planet that was on a huge elipical orbit around our sun.  That sounded crazy to historians and ancient language experts, until NASA found that planet last year.  It will be back in our neighborhood in about 1000 years or so.\n    So, if the ancient Sumerians' gods were aliens, and the stories about the Hebrew's god are just plagerized from the Sumerians, then what does that mean for your belief about god today?  \n   These are just a few small examples of evidence for extraterrestrials visiting Earth in ancient times.  There are many many other books on this topic, and each is filled with historical evidence.  Some other books include Fingerprints of the Gods, Chariots of the Gods, and the Gods of Eden.\nMost people would rather hear a comforting lie than a harsh truth.  Are you like most people?  Or are you going to do the research and come to your own conclusions?

The fossil history is false. The scientists don't know what they are talking about. Radiometric dating is flawed. Everything is a lie except the Bible. I am trying out the other side of this argument. It's pretty weak I must say.
366123
Why is it that so many Christians are so terribly uninformed about the nature of science?\n\nDo you honestly believe that radio carbon dating is the only dating method used by scientists? Do you know nothing about stratigraphic layering?\n\nVery well.... a basic science lesson...\n\nIf you know about the movement of the earth and the effect water and wind has on wearing away and moving soil to different areas, then you'll understand what such things as sediment are.\n\nThen please take into consideration such things as volcanic eruptions, and the movement of the techtonic plates (which I'm going to assume you understand since it's what causes earthquakes).\n\nWith all of these it's safe to say that older rock is farther down on a rock wall.\n\nNow, when you look at this rock, that means that the newer rock will be on top of the older rock. By looking at the rock, you can safely place the rock into different layers based on the prevaling earth conditions at that time.\n\nSo, animals that die at that time, will fall into that layer of rock. Such as, animals that die this year, will be found in the layer of rock that's laid down this year.\n\nAnimals that died 1000 years ago will be found in the layer of rock that was laid down during that time.\n\nAnd yes, the layering tends to be very noticable. For example... if you had a volcanic eruption at that time, the fallout from the eruption will fall on the earth in that area, creating a discoloration (and obsidian which is created only by volcanos) rock in that time period.\n\nWhat this is called is stratigraphic layering.\n\nSo, stratigraphic layering is one method of determining age.\n\nHowever, it only shows that one fossil is older than another, it doesn't show the exact age of the fossil.\n\nBut there are other methods.\n\nThe one that the Christians seem to fixate on is radio carbon dating (which btw, is reliable to samples in under 60 000 years of age, and within a time period of a few thousand years on either side of the possibile age). \n\nHowever, there are many other methods that are unknown or completely dismissed by Christians.\n\nUranium-thorium dating\nPotassium-argon dating\nargon-argon dating\nFission track dating\nCosmogenic isotope dating\nRubidium-strontium dating\nSamarium-neodymium dating\nRhenium-osmium dating\nLutetium-hafnium dating\nPaleomagnetic dating\nThermo-luminescence dating (quartz exposure to heat)\n\nBut then we add other methods of dating such as\n\nDendrochronology\nIce cores\nLichenometry\nVarves\n\nAnd that only begins to scratch the surface of dating methods used by scientists. All these methods are based on mathmatics and chemistry. Which methods are used depends on whats found in the area and where the sample is found. Such as, something found on the ocean floor will require different dating methods than something found in the mountains.\n\nSo.... we don't know the age and there's no possible way to find out because you're closed mind and uneducated guess says that the only dating method we use is radio carbon dating? I beg to differ.\n\nThere are many many ways to scientifically prove the age of a sample. But you have to be willing to use them instead of dismiss them because "the only thing accurate can be the bible".\n\nYou see, I intended on being a paleontologist for a living and, though I never did finish the degree, I have something of a clue about all this.\n\nThe long and short of it is, religion is wrong and education is the only way to solve that problem. But you have to be willing to become educated. Knowledge is power.\n\nThe fact that you also completely dismiss such things as DNA, x-rays, lasers, etc, shows just how uneducated you are.

We know that evolution exists. Science can prove it. We also know that modern man was created by God, the Bible proves that! So what about all those creatures that existed on the Earth for hundreds of thousands of years? Of course they evolved. And some of them very much resemble modern man. But God said He created us in His image. Maybe not necessarily physically, God doesn't have a body! But the difference between us and those creatures is indeed that "missing link" that cannot be "found". The link is God. The difference is that we (modern man) were created with a free will. No other creatures have ever had that. \n\nIf you read Genesis 1:1 you see that God created the heaven and earth. But something very drastic happened probably over a very long period of time between verse one and two because we see in verse two that the earth was without form, and void...\nNow what does God create that is without form and void? Nothing! Everything God creates is perfect.\nSo what happened and how many years passed between verse one and verse two? Science tells us that, there's no mystery. Creatures of all kinds evolved, the popular idea is something hit the earth and tilted it on it's axis. That triggered all kinds of weather changes, ice ages countered by global warming (without benefit of fossil fuels I might add), dinosaurs lived and died off. Primitive man-like creatures became dominant. It's all there!\n\nSo yes, you can believe in God and understand that creatures indeed evolved. But modern man, with all of his uniqueness, was created by God.\n\nNow concerning your lack of passion for your faith... read Acts Chapter 2 in the New Testament a couple of times and see if that piques your interest. I'll guarantee you have never been taught that in the catholic church. You need to ask yourself why. It is clear by the scriptures that Jesus intends that everyone with a love for the truth receive the gift of the Holy Ghost just as described in Acts 2. Read it again! It still happens just that way. It's still real. I see it every week. I see the power of the Spirit being used through ordinary people like you and me. Ordinary people like Jesus and the disciples were. Jesus didn't come and die so that we would have to seek everything we needed through a priest. He came that we could boldy go directly to Him with our needs. That is scripture! You need forgiveness? You need to ask Jesus, not another man. You need compassion and love? Ask Jesus, don't ask another man. Do you want to understand exactly what He has for you in this life and the next? You need to ask Him, not some portly old fellow in a black robe. Ask God directly. Go boldly to the throne and tell Him you need to know more. You will be amazed what you will experience if you are sincere and have enough character!\n\nUpdate 5-1-06\nI read with interest one of the answers below that demonstrates exactly what is wrong with the churches today. Sure, just ask someone (other than God). And if you don't like that answer just go ask someone else. That say's two things:\n1. The "authotities" in the churches don't even agree on truth.\n2. People only are interested in what they want to hear.\n\nThat's what I meant when I said God will show you the truth if you seek it from Him with a true desire to know. Why ask another man who has no clue anyway? We are talking about something as important as the salvation of your soul. Why wouldn't you go directly to the source if the source asked, indeed pleaded with you, to do so?\nAnd Paul absolutely did not encourage people to believe whichever way was best for them. He wrote to the Ephesians in Ep. 4:5 that there is "One Lord, one faith, one baptism". You see this repeated throughout the New Testament. There are not many paths to God, there is one.  Please, read the scriptures for yourself. You do not need someone to interpret the Bible for you. Let God show you

There aren't any dinosaurs in the bible. They just look back at comments about dragons and say 'See dinosaurs! We knew it all along.'. Um, no. \nBy the way, there are unicorns in the bible:\n\nNum 23:22 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn. \n\nWell, now we all know that unicorns exist. Thank you informative and fact filled bible.
