The time line for Dinosaurs on God's Earth?

Posted on 05/19/2014 10:39:41 AM PDT by Vinylly

Last Friday there was a post about digging up the fossil of the largest dinosaur ever discovered. Natural History Museums are full of fossilized remains of dinosaurs. Checking up on Google Search I find the the time line for dinosaurs is about 225 million years, and that was before human life forms. Where does that fit in when God created earth in seven days?

Wait 10 minutes. Someone will post something from the Creation Institute and explain it all. Happens about 10 times/day.

An alternative I see is to shoehorn in in between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2.

The day is described as Light and Dark, and that was the first day. Sounds like a day.

Again, you are presuming that this means the same thing to God and man.

If I told you that the temperature went from 32 to 40 degrees today, what would that tell you? Nothing unless I told you the scale being used for degrees. If it was Fahrenheit, it would mean you still needed your jacket. If it was Celsius, you might want shorts instead. If it was Kelvin you would still need a lot of heat from somewhere. Assuming one scale when another was being used could have consequences ranging from annoying to fatal.

I will take God at his word. Six days? Fine by me. I'm here. Whether the day being referenced is 8.64 x 104 seconds or 2.524608 x 1017 seconds is irrelevant.
