Greetings Pop2nljj, You ask, "If there was no death before Adam what happened to the dinosaurs?" According to Romans 5:12, death did not even enter the world until after Adam's sin. And the fossil record, more than anything else, is a record of death. The very nature of fossilization thus seems to require catastrophism. There was death on a worldwide scale (Genesis 7:23). At the end of creation (Genesis 1:31), God pronounced everything as "very good." Therefore, the "record of death" (see Romans 8:22), or the fossil record, must be dated Biblically as occurring after man's sin and God's curse on man's dominion (Genesis 3:15). The great worldwide catastrophe was the great Flood, when every living thing was destroyed (Genesis 7:23). Every living thing that was not in Noah's ark, including the dinosaurs, died in the Flood. The Bible does provide arguable clues towards a contemporaneous existence between that of humans and dinosaurs (see Job 41:1; Psalm 74:14, 104:26; Isaiah 27:1). Therefore, instead of a long, geologic evolution of life over time, the Bible is rather pointing to its polar opposite - the rapid extinction of life as a result of God's judgment (see 2 Peter 3:6). As for the disappearance of the dinosaurs, perhaps that also would be evidence pointing to the curse on mankind, since the plants started to change, producing thorns and thistles (Genesis 3:18), and mankind itself was tending much more towards being carnivorous (Genesis 9:3-4). Blessings to you, Makarios |
