Question Calling All Christians: Dinosaurs? - December 31st, 2010, 02:37 PM

I don't know if this has been discussed in the past or not and I'm too lazy to go perusing for answers. Seems like an issue many Christians overlook!

Anyway, I've often struggled with the idea that God created the universe in six days, as we know them to be, etc., and the Bible, as far as I know, doesn't mention the dinosaurs.

SO:
Where do the dinosaurs come in?! How do they impact the story God's creation? Did they become extinct before Adam showed up? Blah blah blah, you get the idea.

Basically, just talk about them dinos.

One creo told me that the reason there are dinosaur tracks in coal is that the angels had coal bins, and betimes a dino would get in and trample about.

Seriously! Reference available on request.

The Bible does mention dinosaurs.

i think dinosaurs are pretty awesome and i wish i could have witnessed a dino fight.i'm going to venture that dinosaurs were't blinked into existence but were the result of their environment which was far different from our own currently.

I will venture that if they all were created at the same moment, there would not be a distinct history of progressive change, types appearing and disappearing over a period of 180 million years.
