Bible Question:
Dinosaurs have always boggled me. There is no doubt they have existed, and the only way people can deny it is if they claim some massive global conspiracy against religion is taking place, even when archilogical discoveries are-and have been-found in countries where religion are the cultural and legal backbone. Many questions have come to my mind. 1) Why would god create dinosaurs? We would jest at some horrible mistake, perhaps, in gods decision making; but why allow them to live for so long? 2) Why is gods creation of dinosaurs not discussed in the bible? 3) Why would god allow for the extinction of many species of dinosaurs, while allowing other animals of the same time period to live (i.e. the alligator). 4) How come god did not give the dinosaurs capacity to worship him, as he did with humans. One might argue that they were like our animals, who surely do not have a concept of god outside societal instinct, but to create a civilization of idiotic creatures that serve no lord and no purpose seems whimsical to me. Some people, as part of their response to the general dinosaur question, might say that if you follow the begats and what-not you discover earth is only 6,000 years old. Well, I would need to know why carbon dating is such a horribly inaccurate science as it would misjudge dates from dinosaur bones by millions of years, yet we whole-heartedly trust it to accurate predict times of deaths in murder cases. Also, some things to keep in mind. 1) Dinosaurs did go through evolution, which has been proven. Why would god allow these animals to evolve while humans could not have? 2) It is a generally accepted fact that the earths landmasses were once all clumped together in a continent called Pangea. Only, over 130 million years ago, did the continent begin to seperate into the ones we have today. If the seperation had only started 6,000 years ago, the continents would be still traveling at a tremendous rate, and surely it would have been documented somewhere in the bible. I do not mean to offend or insult anyone, nor prove any religion, faith, or belief as false. These are simply questions I have been pondering and hope to have cleared up. |
