where do dinosaurs and cavemen fit into the bible, or does it?

Im curious about something that I havent found an answer too...maybe there isnt one. I dont know. So I bring it to you....maybe you can help me figure this out or some one can point me ina direction to where I might find the answer....

According to the bible...Adam and Eve were the first people created....course through the history God gets pissed and decides to start over making Noah and his family our ancestors....

so where then does the cavemen and dinosaurs fit in to the picture...we know they existed....

I have not read all of the Bible so maybe I missed a part where they are talked about.

What I was taught in school contradicted what the bible taught, so I tried to make them both fit because I didn't want to believe anyone would lie to me......So.......

I remember really trying to make them both fit together..

Meet Eve........lol

.....and Adam? 😑

😂 Im sorry but thank you...I needed that laugh today.

Err....err....God put them there to test our faith....err....

It was Earth V1,0 bata.

It was made when God was just a child, but when he grew up, he made Earth V1.5 released. 😆

😆 no doubt.

Ive asked preachers and the like about this and I get nothing...no one can explain it to me. 😬

I mean like were Adam, Eve, Noah and his family dumbshits...like cavemen and were there dinosaurs with them....I know I sound silly but Im trying to piece this together....If Im to believe Adam and Eve were not cavemen....then they were not the first people God created.

Something just isnt right here hmm

Im not trying to discredit the Bible...I do think its a story book based on some truth....But you would think in all the books of the Bible....there would be some mention of where are dinosaurs and cavemen came from and where in history were they if Adam and Eve were the first man and woman....

*shrugs*

Your post strangely reminds me of "Life, the Universe and Everything"...hmm....or at least the end of the prequel....

The bible is an account, some say fiction with sprinklings of facts, that covers a period of time from when Adam and Eve were first on earth. But if you accept scientific data rather than the bible as truth, then you would know that the earth is billions of years old and life has been sustained here for that long, from microorganisms to present day man. Therefore, I would think it inconceivable that dinosaurs would have ANY part in the bible, since biblical accounts comprise such a finite amount of time in the earth's history.

According to Kent Hovind, Dinosaurs are really old Lizards that didn't stop growing. 😆

I've heard that also.

Poor Adam... 😆

There are more explanations for this - perhaps the explanation is not 'There is no God', but ''Bible was not written by such deity''

Yes, or maybe the bible was written as a fictional metaphor.

there are two views espoused by various creationist "science museums" in the united states. One that says that dinosaurs lived with humans and were killed in noah's flood (YABBA DABBA DOO!), the other is that satan put dinosaur bones in the earth to test faith.

lol That was one of the excuses my 9th grade religion teacher gave.....God put dinosaur bones in the ground for humans to study, or Satan put them in to test faith....But the moral of the story was that she thought Dinosaurs were fake.

right. Did she refer to oil as Lucifer's diarrhea?

The explanation I was given was that yes the bible says that big G made the earth in 6 days and rested on the seventh. This is apparently what HE told us. So what about dinosaurs and stuff well a day is just a term that we use for the set length of time it takes this planet to revolve around it's own axis, other planets have much longer and much shorter days. Therefore what is a day to an infinate being such God? It could well be many thousands of years to such mortals as us wee homanids. So there you have it God turned chaos into 'hell' 😉 in what he called 6 days but what to us was really hundreds and thousands of years and the dinos and neanderthals we're just part of the perfection process!

Not that any of this matters cuz according to the Hitch Hikers Guide the planet Earth is just a massive lab experiment run by mice to find the number of the Universe... 😕

😛

(EDIT - According to my little girls fav cartoon dinosaurs are alive and well, only 3" high, and live in a land that is accessed through a magic bucket! 😱 )

the probability of this being so, is high in my opinion.

Shelbert Lemon> The Bibles account of how many things happened is in glaring contradiction to established science.

Here are a few examples http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/science/long.html

ENjoy 🙂
