before you make fun stop everything and go watch this documentary. its called ''Is Genesis History? - Watch the Full Film''  found it on youtube

Premiered Mar 26, 2020

scientists cover all aspects you have in mind in this documentary and follow up series.  proof dinos and global pre flood world was vastly different than we once thought. my quick opinion its not like public schools teach or jurassic park hollywood films.

for instance the oxygen in atmosphere had to have been many times what it is post flood for a pterosaur to fly and sauropods to breathe thru pin hole sized nostrils that much is confirmed. the bible says it hadnt ever rained until the day GOD shut the door to the ark. basically there was enormous amounts of liquified droplets and oxygen in the air like being near a waterfall if you can imagine. kind of interesting.

these creatures did exist and yes the bible says they were created along side man. keep in mind they were not created as you see them in the fossil record. 2 reasons for that. one is that GOD created them and everything else and it was perfect and good. and 2 the bible describes the fall of man when sin entered into the world and murder entered into the world thats when thorns and flesh eating creatures entered into the world. it was like a default mechanism built into the animals for when man sinned and murdered.

the research area of religion your looking at is called genisis apologetics or simply ''apologetics''. apologetics has little to do with true Chritianity as GOD states that without faith its impossible to please him.

also we have our own free will to believe or disbelieve for instance if you believe the bible at all GOD sends a strong delusion to those who would not believe. i hope i didnt misqoute anything. ill come back and spend more time on this maybe. i could talk all day for a week about this in person as ive studied it way too much.

First off, I believe someone should clarify due to factors, exactly what category dinos would fit in as it has to do with the order of creation as it occurred.

Sharks, as we know them are estimated to be 200,000,000 years old give or take.

So are Crocodilians.

Were dinosaurs around then?
Science says yes. The scientific method says yes.

I don't see what the problem is.

Is the earth 4.5 billion years old like has been purported to be?
I don't think so.

Is it more than 5,400 years old give or take like some Christians believe? I think that it is.

Evolution is a thing. Science says yes and I say yes.

I am a Christian as well.
I have no reason to hide anything.

Everything in creation testifies about God’s creation.  We recognize complex ordered patterns as having to have been produced by intelligence, but when we look at the bigger picture of the universe or biology and see an infinite layering of complex processes we deny that an intelligent creator could have been behind it.

I agree by the way. I think that all religions are creation mythology. But then I think pop scientism is creation mythology quackery too.

But the story is that the world was inhabited by fallen angels before it was remade in Genesis. Humans replenished it. FWIW

Then humans and most other life was genetically tainted by fallen angels, and the earth was purged again.

My point is that if you are a purist Christian that follows the word exactly there’s an easier way to fit dinosaurs into the mix using the Bible.

I don’t know if Jesus existed but he gave some really good advice. Love your neighbors. Keep your rifle by your side.  Be prepared to head for the hills. The government is always trying to kill you. Don’t trust money lenders or the law. Some people are possessed by demons, temptation is to be avoided. Etc etc.

If you believe that I don’t care what you think dinosaurs are. We can be friends. I don’t care if you think my personal vices will get me sent to a lake of fire. You might be right. I just want to grill.

No.   I am at a loss to explain how creation happened.   We have tons of good theories.   And we have a Bible that is or isn't at odds with those theories depending on who is reading it and why.  

In a world where everyone has to be an expert, i just don't know for sure.

There is literally no way the dinosaurs lived with current homo-sapiens. Any attempt to fit billions of years of life and evolution into literal 6000 years, as well as the flood narrative, is just pure fantasy.

The Bible never mentions how old the earth is.

If you look at the first two verses of Genesis, in the original Hebrew, God created a perfect world in verse one. Verse two, the earth became void. A cataclysm happened around 12,000 years ago. It is a several hour study, but it can be documented.  Science even documents this.

When it comes to stories about creation or the flood, we took that opportunity to explain the difference between literal and figurative meaning in the Bible.  

My 9 year old was skeptical about Adam and Eve right out of the gate.

Not everything in the Bible is meant to be taken literally. It’s a book of stories, the vast majority are either fiction or the truth has long since been lost in translation. It to help guide you on making good life decisions.


It doesn’t mean there was literally a flood and that there were 2 of each animal to repopulate the world. All animals would be inbred as fuck if this were true. Not to mention there is not realistic way the planet could entirely be covered in water.

I like to focus on science and use religion and faith where science is lacking like how and why the Big Bang happened. Bigger picture stuff like why does the universe exist in the first place

Quoted:
The Bible never mentions how old the earth is.

If you look at the first two verses of Genesis, in the original Hebrew, God created a perfect world in verse one. Verse two, the earth became void. A cataclysm happened around 12,000 years ago. It is a several hour study, but it can be documented.  Science even documents this.

This. Add to that the two creation stories. Genesis 1 and Genesis 3. Different events, the one in chapter 3 being our own little iteration of planet earth. Also, contrast creation with evolution. What, same picture? The animals came first, then man? Study the book. They didn't go into detail about what happened previous because it's not relevant. The earth, the solar system, everything was different the first time around.

Concerning yourself with what happened before about 5000 years ago is a collasal waste of energy. None of it would be relevant to our existence. And if a day to God is 1000 years to us, then 12000-7000= you guessed it, 5000 years. That's pretty much the extent of our known history. Our oldest recorded literature. Our most accruate scientific calculations. Older than that, and things get sketchy, and people disagree. The people who were here before us are not here anymore. The world that was here no longer exists. So, take a deep breath and live your best life.
