Dinosaurs exists about million years ago. Adan and Eve lived for about a thousand years ago, well, that is what they say. Which God created first? Dinosaurs or Adan and Eve? People say that Adan and Eve are interpret as symbol in the bible. They are not interpret as literal. According to some Christians who knew a lot in bible that Dinosaurs are also in the bible because there are also interpret as symbols. Does it mean that Dinosaurs, Adan and Eve are all in the bible? Or one of them is a myth? So, which is the truth and which is a made-up story?????

The bible is an old book and rewritten multiple times translated to different languages. That book is suspicious but as we all say, we are just humans and make mistakes. Adam and Eve lived a thousand years ago? then Who counted the years that have passed before they were here on earth? I think you should just read the bible if you are interested. Many people have them, or ask a priest. I think you are posting this because you can't think of anything that you are interested in.

...is it so hard to ask a priest because they won't even answer my questions. They will just tell me "Have faith" --but, according to what I read, it says that dinosaurs are also included in the bible and some say, Adan and Eve are just a myth while Dinosaurs are archeological reality so, I don't know which is the truth. Other say that they are all in the bible.. so, I really don't know which one I should believe in.

Anyway, I do not need an argument to prove. All I want is an answer, but if no one could answer this, well, maybe it is better to an atheists at all without relying anything either science or religion. It is because both of them are so confusing.

I mean it is better to be an atheist rather than to have God on my own.

The bible and other religious text was created by advanced beings (not from earth) to give humans structure, control, and order. So I think it is safe to say that Adam and Eve are not meant to be taken on a literal level. They are only symbols representing the birth and spread of human beings across the earth.

I find it a much more plausible explanation that the Bible is a collection of texts, all written by humans, in a number of different locations and at a range of times, starting in around the 6th century BC.

Being not from earth... so it means we came from Alien. Oh, alien. I read some on internet about sumerian texts that is similar to bible.

I tend to take the Bible as literal, unless it's a parable. That's not to say that all of life isn't a metaphor! Scientists are now finding that dinosaurs and man were contemporary. And there are other ways of dating the earth, about 70% which find the earth as much younger, and only a few which suggest the millions old age, er now millions, soon trillions?

Both are real IntrovertShy and there are a couple different opinions on when..some say they came before, this one is controversial, even in churches today. Then there are some who say the dinosaur was around when man was, just not in the same area..For example, there is such thing as Lions. But, naturally there are no lions in America, just the ones brought over.

Actually some are, there are both Christian and Jewish Scientists, they just explain their findings differently from secular scientists.

Yes. It is very controversial. I was wondering. When will be the time where science and religion will be peace on each other? They always disagree to each other. I thought both of them would bring peace on earth if they were mixed up, but I was wrong. Maybe they should be separated.

Based on the millions of hours of excavation, study and research by the world's scientists over the last few hundred years, these are our best estimates of when the different species you mention inhabitted the Earth: Dinosaurs: about 230 million years ago until about 65 million years ago. Humans: about 200,000 years ago until now. Even the Great Apes (from which humans are decended) didn't evolve until about 15 million years ago. But it's also worth mentioning that modern day birds are probably decended from dinosaurs. And also lizards very similar to many we see today existed at the same time as the dinosaurs.

Wow. You know a lot about dinosaurs. I bet you like science a lot. He he. Anyway, I like what you post here. It is because its very detail and well explained. Maybe Adam and Eve is somewhat a symbolic in the bible and it is not that literally interpreted.

The dinosaur is the discovey of Science...an Adam & Eve from bible. Its not right to mix religion and science.

Well, he told Adam and eve to go "forth and REPLENISH the earth..." (check the BIble) so there must have been something here before them. Noah had to replenish the earth. Who's to say dinosaurs weren't around either time? The Bible just didn't mention large animals wandering around! I don't see how they can calculate time in the millions of years anyway.

well the bible says that adam and eve where before some thousand yrs. but it does not say that there were no dinosaurs before that. and one thing is for sure got did not make the world just for man. so i think the story in bible is symbolic but even if its true than it is possible. and one more thing in bible its written that we can eat any animal with four legs but it also says that thou shall not kill..so we must think that was is just for men or i must not even kill an animal. by the way jesus was a vegetarian. so must use our reason.
