1 | Dinosaurs (Life before Adam and Eve) | Genesis | horsecd | 109525 | ||
It's amazing what people will do to twist the clear meaning (of the Hebrew words) of the Bible in order to support man-based ideas. The person who gave you this other theory evidently views man's ideas (often wrong due to lack of complete information) as more accurate than God's written word (who was there and promises throughout the Bible that the Bible is true and will remain so). First, the belief in long ages (i.e. the universe began billions of years ago) is based on a faulty interpretation of data. It is based on radiometric dating "dates," which are based on faulty assumptions. (Note: dinosaur bones are dated by this faulty method.) More than 90 percent of _scientific_ dating methods give a MAXIMUM age for the universe in the millions and some of those methods further restrict the age down less than 10,000 years. On a purely scientific basis, a young universe is just as valid (actually, more so) than a billions-of-years-old universe. The Dinosaur Explanation based on the Bible and supported by science is: God created sea and air dinosaurs on literal day 5 (i.e. 96-120 hours away from the beginning of time). Land dinosaurs were created on literal day 6. (Note: The word in Gen 1:28 is actually "fill" with no connotation of "filling again." KJV uses "replenish," though, since replenish used to include "filling for the first time.") Young (therefore smaller) dinosaurs were included on Noah's Ark. The dinosaur bones we see today were the dinosaurs killed and buried in the world-wide Flood. After the Flood, the climate had changed and most to all dinosaurs have gone extinct (slowly, like animals go extinct in modern times) since the Flood. For a more complete answer, I'd suggest going to www.answersingenesis.org and viewing the FAQ section on dinosaurs. |

2 | Where did Cain's wife come from? | Gen 5:4 | horsecd | 96270 | ||
Genesis 5:3-4 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth. After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. Note, Adam and Eve "had other sons and daughters." It is never said that Abel is the second born and that Seth is the third born, but simply that Cain was older than Abel, and Seth was born around the time of Abel's death. So, quite simply, Cain married a sister of his. She went into exile with him, and they had children while in exile. Since mutations hadn't corrupted the genetic code yet, there was no reason why they couldn't marry. |
