So, how do you explain dinosaurs then? That is the logical question people bring up when trying
to explain the Biblical account of creation. It is a most fascinating topic that evolutionists have tried to use against God.
But, if you really try to find out the truth, you will be shocked and changed as to your perspective on these animals. Dinosaurs
which mean "terrible lizards" are actually a great resource to prove the biblical account! Remember, too, that the
word, "Dinosaur" did not exist prior to the 19th century. Before the 1870's, they were known by
other names usually translated into the word, "Dragons"! They were known as dragons in every past culture
everywhere in the world. Hard evidence exists even today from those cultures showing these things were REAL! There
are thousands of 3-dimensional figurines, clay pottery, and cave drawings all over the world. Egyptian mummies thousands
of years old have been found buried with articles and clothing containing pictures of "dinosaurs" or dragons. And then
there are the "Ica Stones" that were found in Peru... It takes the native varnish used on the stones more than
a thousand years to solidify, and the varnish is in the carvings on the stones thus negating any counterfeiting. This find
is truly amazing and there are thousands of them! These Ica Stones have carvings of a variety of dinosaurs and some are
depicted interacting WITH man! They illustrate things that man should not know if evolution is true. One of the things that are illustrated is the
skin patterns that exist on dinosaurs. They are shown to have circle patterns like scales which we didn't even know until
very recently when dinosaur skin was found. Add the fact that they have now found several dinosaurs remains that
have not been fossilized at all. They still contain red-blood cells which mean they cannot be millions of years old. They
must be very recent! The next topic of conversation should really make you think... The first complete re-construction
of a fossilized dinosaur was in 1809 which means that prior to 1809, man would never have known these animals even existed.
But, incredibly every civilization and culture of the past knew of these dinosaurs. They just called them a different
name. They called them dragons! They have been with us throughout the memory of man! This is logical and it fits
with the biblical account as well. The Bible clearly teaches the earth to be about 6,000 years old. That is chronicled in the genealogical record. One
of the things that's hard to comprehend today is the long ages people lived described in the Bible. Remember these long
ages took place, biblically speaking, only prior to the worldwide flood. An example of the long ages people
once lived is Adam, the first man. From Genesis 5:3-5, "When Adam had lived
130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth. After Seth was born,
Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. Altogether, Adam lived a total of 930 years,
and then he died."
The lifespan of the people prior to the flood are astronomical and
hard for us to understand today, but if you take into account the pre-flood conditions being very different than today, it
suddenly doesn't sound so fantastical. The Water Canopy Theory explains this. Add the fact that all life prior to the flood grew to enormous sizes. Plants were gigantic! People were giants
in those days AND terrible lizards we know as dinosaurs grew to be enormous as well. Remember the Bible states
that the people before the flood lived for hundreds of years. If the atmosphere did exist to support life for such long periods
of time, reptiles would also live for vast amounts of time as well. What does this mean? Well,
consider reptiles NEVER stop growing! Since dinosaurs were reptiles, they never stop growing either. And since they lived
for massive amounts of time just like the people in the Bible, they would have grown to colossal sizes! Did you know that ALL animals
were gigantic prior to the flood! That would include man, birds, insects, fish, elephants, rhinos...lions, tigers, and bears...oh
my! Every
living thing was HUGE! So what do we have here? All the actual physical evidence
supports the Biblical account contrary to what atheists or evolutionists try to dismiss or even hide all together. The Bible
really is God talking to us telling us what happened in the beginning and what is going to happen in the end. He wants us to get to know Him now before it's too late! Seek Him and you shall find Him!
