Bible Question: newbie..
as a relativly new hard core christian and a lousy speller please bear with me for i love our lord with all my heart and have him and his words in my thoughts constantly.
this is not a salvational issue and i can put the question behind me and dwell on it no more but i found this web page and thought i might get an idea from other christians on this question.
dinosaurs......??
these creatures suposidly existed millions of years ago and museums suposidly have their bones on display..
some have said the bones were made by man to decieve us...
i would appriciate any insight on this issue..
thanks and God bless :)

Bible Answer: Welcome, Strongfellow, and welcome to the family.

The Institute for Creation Research -- at www.icr.org -- the organization suggested in Hank's previous posting, is an excellent reference for information on Creation Research. They come from a decidedly "young earth" creation standpoint and are very solid.

Another "young-earth" group with lots of dinosaur information is Dr. Kent Hovind's Creation Science Evangelism -- www.drdino.com. This group probably has the most extensive presentation specifically related to dinosaurs.

Finally, Dr. Hugh Ross and the researchers at "Reasons to Believe" -- www.reasons.org -- have some excellent input from an "old-earth" creationist perspective.

The old earth and young earth creationists sometimes disagree strongly on interpretation of the possible meaning(s) of the Hebrew work "yowme" used for "day" in Genesis 1 (for each of the 6 creation days separately) and in Genesis 2:4 (referring to all 6 days as a whole). However, both groups fully affirm the accuracy of the Scriptural account and the creation (rather than evolution) of plants, animals, and mankind. There is an in-house debate among them as brothers and sisters in Christ, and together they can refer you to many excellent resources that help to investigate the wonder and certainty of creation.
