Creation Part 2

Okay, so what about dinosaurs? They lived on the earth within the last six – thousand years. That’s right within the last 6,000 years. You ask what about the billions of years the Earth is supposed to have been here? You need to read the first post I wrote about creation. The age of the earth is explained there. Are you still doubtful? Believe me I understand. The world has bomb - boarded us with doubt. We are taught from the time we enter school that the world is billions of years old.

In 1^st Corinthians Chapter 1 verses 24 – 31 we are able to read about how God uses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise.

 ²⁴But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. ²⁵Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. ²⁶For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: ²⁷But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; ²⁸And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: ²⁹That no flesh should glory in his presence. ³⁰But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: ³¹That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

You may be thinking well I understand that passage, but I’m not sure how dinosaurs could have lived in the last 6,000 years with man or if they existed at all.

On March 18, 2008 a news report from Fox News reported a mummified dinosaur was slowly being revealed. Here is the link:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,338930,00.html

The fossil was found in North Dakota and is being called Dakota. It was originally discovered in 1999 by a Yale University paleontology student in the Badlands. What makes this story of a dinosaur fossil different than most, though, is the incredible preservation of Dakota. The AP reports that the duckbilled dinosaur fossil includes fossilized skin that is “as hard as iron.” It thus joins only four other such mummified dinosaurs in the world.

Toeing the line of evolutionary timetables, Dakota was assumed to have fossilized some 65 million years ago.

Science uses something called carbon dating to get ages of fossils. So why assign it an age of 65 million years. You have to remember that that is what scientist do, they assign.

Now I will ask if you remember reading about a flood in Genesis. The earth was still very young. At most at the time of the flood it would have only been 1,700 years old. The Earth was very different at this time perfect, undefiled if you will with the exception of the wickedness of mankind, after all that is why God destroyed the earth with water.

The flood changed the face of the Earth it even carved out the Grand Canyon. Remember the reference above from 1^st Corinthians, when we mentioned the confusion of the wise?

Let’s go back to Dakota; scientists explain how Dakota must have been “buried rapidly.” That is exactly the explanation creation scientists give, but we have a clear, global explanation for the millions of fossils we have, which are time and time again shown to have been buried rapidly and catastrophically: the Flood of Noah’s day, which unleashed catastrophes worldwide and covered the world in water for a large portion of a year. Starting from this viewpoint, we can make sense of these many fossils buried rapidly and recently—just a few thousand years ago.

The flood destroyed a lot of “large animals” which included the largest of the beast.

Genesis chapter 7, records that Noah took of every clean beast by seven and of every un – clean beast he took in by two or two by two, to keep alive upon the face of the earth. This included dinosaurs, yes I said dinosaurs. Now you have to realize that the larger animals did not get on the ark and you also have to realize that a lot of animals have become extinct since the flood.

What about these large beast co – existing with man? Genesis chapter 2:  ²⁰And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field. Adam named each animal, each beast.

Something else you have to remember is all the animals were able to get along and co – exist with man before the flood. After the flood the animals became afraid of man. Look at Genesis chapter 9 beginning with verse 1:  ¹And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.  ²And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.

I ran a lot of references on verse 2. Every reference I ran talked about man being at piece with the animals. They were never meant to fear us or dread us, but as with everything man messed this up.

How did the animals get so big? A reptile will grow until it dies. People as well as animals lived for long periods of time in Noah’s day, so it stands to reason there were very large animals. Dinosaurs and man walked together on this Earth six – thousand years ago.

I pray that this has not confused you and has answered some question that you may have had. I hope you don’t think that I am totally out of my mind, but I have given you biblical proof. May God Bless you
