My mother and I were watching Jim Henson's Dinosaurs today and we were watching a clip show with a guy who looks like an archaeologist talking about what the dinosaurs were and what happened to them, in between random clips of the Baby hitting Earl with a frying pan and all that good stuff...and my mother said she never got the whole dinosaur timeline because if God made the earth in 7 days, and made man first and then the animals, where do the dinosaurs come in? And if you do believe in God and don't believe that the earth is hundreds of millions of years old and there was a big ice age as the intervention and then man crawls out of the swamp water and spends years learning to walk upright and all that, it does get confusing.
I had a few theories about this, if anybody else has some they'd care to throw in, go ahead:
One thought I had is in the Bible it talks about what was going on in Jerusalem and Egypt, it doesn't say anything about what was going on in England at that time or Asia or America, so who was living there at that time? Or what if the dinosaurs were put in a part of the world where people weren't? What if the great 'ice age' was the dinosaurs dying out in what today we know to be the Antarctica? Since nobody can say for sure WHAT dinosaurs looked like, and scientists just recently came out saying 'oh wait a minute, we were wrong, there's NEVER been a triceratops'???, you know, how do we know that these drawings of what we see them looking like, is right? If dinosaurs did NOT look like the illustrations in science books, when you see the big skeletons put together like on the T-rex, if not this:
Then what would they look like? But you know, in the Bible it says God created the animals so man wouldn't be lonely, and you hear about horses, donkeys, lions, dogs, you don't hear about monkeys or elephants or racoons, you don't hear about domesticated boa constrictors, so obviously a lot more was going on in Biblical times than just what the Bible shows, but where WOULD the dinosaurs fit into it?
