Did God create Dinosaurs?

It is not possible to live without the ego unless you live every breath of your life meditating on a rock somewhere.

I don't know.

However, according to some ancient texts, such as Mayan, they say man has been here before.

If I remember correctly, the Mayans say this is mans 3rd or 4th cycle. Supposedly, we were here before and will be here again after we either destroy ourselves or are judged and wiped away.

It is possible, if the cycles are true, that man was here with the dinosuars.

In fact, it has always been a strike against evolution in my book - how could a brontasaurus evolve into that WAY large beast.

Maybe the flintstones really did have a pet named 'Dino'.

I would have said in the same way, and indeed for the same reason, that Giraffes have such long necks. In fact pretty much everything seems to have been bigger back then.

I was once informed, by a person with supreme confidence in this idea, that fossils are made from plaster, and were buried by God to give us something to do. I thought I'd share that because it seemed relevent, and I hope it answers your question.

Read nephraTeri,
Teri has it figured out. The bible doesn't mention dinosaurs because the folks who made up the story only to have it re-written a zillion ti,es just didn't know about Texas let alone dinosaurs.
If you are ignorant of the existence of something there is no way you can talk about it.
God didn't create dinosaurs because god didn't know about them. God only knew what Mesopotamian people knew 3000 years ago and while they knew a lot they didn't really have a great deal of knowledge. Our benefit is that we came 3000 years later and benefit from vast knowledge compared to the ancients and we know sooo little it is pathetic.
The stuff we make up today will look just as rediculous in 100 years; forget 1000!

why couldnt god have created them what makes them so diferent from every other creature weve claimed god created but here is my answer

there is a gap btwn gen1:1 &2 of possibly thousands of years i wont really try to prove this but if you wnt proof in scripture ill answer you w/ questions in this lucifer ruled the earth there was men and angels on the earth at this time when Lucifer convinced everyone to rebel against God Gid flooded the earth there is more detail to this but that is the basic concept it is believed that dinosaurs lived during this period

another theory is that the fallen angels that mated with some women did so with animal s which was described in the bk of giants i believe that the giants and dinosaurs and possibly thunderbirds or giant squids and stuuf were created that way so no i dont believe that God created them but he could have

and the ages set on the earth and fossils and stuff by radiocarbon dating cant be given any credit to that method has been disproved many times though they can prove the age of the earth with other methods which is biblical according to the gap theory

So Essen your willing to make a conclusion on somthing so profound, on some broad nondescriptive text?

I cant explain the dinosaurs not being in the bible, but I can probably explain why man/woman believes there is a god.
