Who started the rumor that Christians don't believe in dinosaurs?

Question

Fess up

Answer 1

I don't know, but they are wrong. Here are my thoughts:

First of all, did you know that reptiles never stop growing? It's just a simple biological fact that reptiles grow all their life. They never stop until the day they die. Did you know that? Most people don't.Reptiles never stop growing.

Now, back in the days of Adam and Eve up until the days of Noah, if you look at the geneologies you'll find that just about everyone lived about 900 years or more.Instead of dying at 80 or 90 like we do today, back then they died at 800 or 900. They lived about 10 times longer back then.

Now think about it. If people lived 10 times longer back then, well it wouldn't just be people would it? More than likely it would be plants, animals, the whole ecosystem. If people lived 10 times longer, so would lizards. If lizards lived 10 times longer, and reptiles never stop growing, then if they lived 10 times longer, then they would grow 10 times bigger.

So instead of having a 3 foot long iguana like we have today, back then you'd have a...

30 foot long iguana!

One of the first dinosaurs ever found was called the iguanadon because of it's resemblance to the iguana. The man who found it said that it's skeleton looked just like the skeleton of the iguana except it was alot bigger. So he called it Iguanadon. Well, guess how big it was?

30 feet! Iguanadon dinosaurs range anywhere from 27 to 30 to 33 feet on average.

You see, according to the bible, reptiles and lizards would've gotten really really big back in the days of Noah

Secondly, Creation Scientists suspect that dinosaurs did not become extinct until about 3 or 4 thousand years ago.This would mean that dinosaurs went extinct sometime within the history and memory of mankind. Evolutionists claim extinction was complete some 60 or 70 million years ago, based upon radiometric dating methods. However, Creation Scientists have found these dating methods to be very questionable and innacurate. For instance, new rock in the form of hardened lava flows produced estimated ages as great as 3 billion to 10.5 billion years, when they were actually less than 200 years old. Does that sound like an accurate age estimate to you? According to Science Magazine in 1984, shells from living snails were carbondated as being 27,000 years old. Does that sound like an accurate dating method to you?

Thirdly, fossilization is a very rare and unusual occurance. Fossilization is not a slow gradual process that takes place over millions of years. According to the best available evidence, plants and animals cannot become fossils unless they are buried relatively quickly and deeply in the appropriate materials. Creation Scientists have found that the conditions that would be most ideal for the massive fossil formations found in the sediments would be a violent, global flood catastrophe. Dinosaur remains worldwide are associated with water-laid sediment.

Well, guess what? The bible talks about a flood like that. And it just so happens that that flood occurred in the days when reptiles and lizards would have gotten really big.

So you see, when it comes to the fact that we are digging up gigantic reptiles and lizards up out of the ground, most of which are completely fossilized, does this somehow contradict the bible?

Well, According to the bible it makes perfect sense!

Dinosaur bones don't contradict the bible. They fit in just perfectly. The things that contradict the bible are the inaccurate "dating" methods. Well, if the Bible is truly accurate, then it SHOULD contradict our innacurate dating methods now shouldn't it?

Answer 2

There are some Christians who believe the sun rotates around the earth. My baptist friend's teacher believes this. Even though my friend does believe the earth is round and NOT the center of the universe, he thinks dinosaurs lived with man. And they were vegetarians.

I guess people can believe a lot of stuff.

Answer 3

my teacher is christian and he doesn't believe in dinosaurs. he didnt come right out and say it, cause its illegal to do, but he said "If I found a bunch of bones, I could put them in any order i wanted to and make something pretty awesome, too"  

Answer 4

Probably someone who was afraid of the theory of evolution who didn't have a good grasp on the Bible.

Answer 5

Same guy who put the bones in the ground in the first place. Satan :P

Answer 6

A lot of them don't?

Answer 7

Someone who never read the Bible.

Answer 8

I've met a Christian that doesn't believe in dinosaurs.  She claimed that God put them on the planet to test us.  Those who stuck by his side were his true followers.

Don't get me wrong, this Christian is really a very sweet, kind young woman.  She's very nice.  But I think this is pretty much as far-fetched as it gets.
