Bible Question: Where do Dinosaurs fall into place. Before Old Testament or after? |
Bible Answer: Through my studies of scripture and little knowledge of archeology I have reasoned through this using the 900 year life span principle. The earth before the flood was a wonder world. With the preflood fossils science has found that are quite larger than post flood fossils, one can only come to the conclusion that animals grew and grew for hundreds of years to amazing sizes. Even though Noah put two of every creature into the ark many of them were neuter young just to save space. After the flood many of the dinosaur species didn't grow as massive as they did preflood. The atmosphere was different, among many other factors involved. The bible does tell us that all living creatures were vegetarians before the flood. Genesis 1:29 "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so." It was after the flood when God added animal flesh to the diet in Genesis 9:3 "Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things." There is also leviathan and behemoth, found in the bible, which some consider to be dinosaurs. |
