Creationists HATE this question:

@corpun

lol quite correct. But i'm asking Creationists this question and they believe that humans and dinosaurs were created on the 6th day of creation.

@Pikachu

Well think about the different options.
What is certain is that birds were created on the 5th day, and land creatures on the 6th day.

1 Some if not all Dinos might have died before the flood in small numbers and were eaten by other animals including humans for food, and their bones buried in various places before the flood.
2 Maybe they lived until the flood but they had not produces in great numbers so only a few of them died in the flood and its not surprising at all if they are found in different places than humans.
3. It took a long time for the water to cover the earth so maybe many died at different times so were trapped in different places like mountain tops, some on the ocean floors at different stages of the flood.
4. Some might have died and been laid in the same layer but not been found yet.

@Carazaa

It's always good to think about different options and i'm happy to walk through the thought process here.

1) This can't account for the number of dinosaurs in the fossil record. If dinosaurs died out entirely before the flood then (based only on the number of species we have concretely documented) pre-flood the earth would have had to be wall to wall dinosaurs...except that's not bourn out by the fossil record because we see certain groups of dinosaurs in different layers as well.
If humans were eating them then this presents another huge problem because in archaeological investigations of ancient human settlements one of the things we do find in abundance are remains of the animals upon which they were feeding. We don't find any dinosaur remains in human settlements.

2) There were absolutely a great number of them. They have been found on every continent on the planet. You don't get a spread like that with a small number of animals. And the fact is that we have found thousands of dinosaur species and millions of individual specimens.

3) There were dinosaurs ranging in size from a chicken to a 5 story building and occupying every ecological niche that other animals which are found in the same layer as humans occupy. And that doesn't even include marine reptiles and pterosaurs which also somehow don't appear alongside humans. So on land, sea and air, all of these ancient reptiles happened not to end up anywhere that humans did while rabbits, dolphins and pigeons did?
Not logically consistent.

4) Yes, there is a non-zero chance that such remains simply haven't been found yet. But that does not make it even remotely likely given the global absence of such a find. There's a non-zero chance that COVID is a hoax and the New World Order is using it as a smokescreen to enslave us....but there's no good reason to accept that as a viable possibility at this point. Same with the notion that we just haven't found any overlap of humans and dinosaurs anywhere ever.
We've found fossilized bacteria, fossilized dinosaur mummies and even fossilized colour. We have found an amazing variety of dinosaurs and hominid fossils...but we haven't found one single dinosaur in the same geological layer as even an ancient hominid.

@Pikachu OK and never mind that blood vessels have proven that those ancient critters aren't ancient 😘

@Carazaa

Ok, i'll take from that complete change of subject that you don't have any legitimate reason to reject the explanations i have just given.
As for the fossilized blood vessels...i suspect you're referring to the work pioneered by Dr Mary Schweitzer and even she doesn't think that they represent a young earth. It's also important to note that those "soft tissues" only became soft after being chemically treated to demineralize them. Essentially they were fossilized but were reverse-fossilized.
If you're really interested in discussing why those findings don't overturn the age of the earth then we can do so now.

@Carazaa And please don't mistake my rebuttal to your proposed explanations as a personal attack. Like you said, it's good to think about the options and it's ok to to find at the end of the process that our initial ideas weren't bourn out.

@Pikachu ❤️ I am not convinced there is sufficient proof of what you are saying about the geological layers, dinosaurs age, or the earth age, but I accept that you think so and that you believe what you are saying is truth. I am just not convinced because it is not what God says, and it contradicts the Bible. You are coming from an atheist view, just realize your views and some scientists' views are maybe tainted by preconceived beliefs. So we just disagree 🙂

@Carazaa


Yup. I know that's why.
I'd be shocked if i found i didn't have any biases lol. But if you begin from a place of " I can't be convinced by evidence if it disagrees with the Bible", then you're right: the best we can hope for is to just disagree ✌️

@Pikachu Great! But I will challenge your research to give the readers a more informed knowledge ✌️

@Carazaa

As you should.😉
