Christians, do you accept the fact that Dinosaurs rule the Earth for 100 million years?
Maybe more, and then there is prehistoric man, which existed before the creation myth was written. How do you deal with this in your faith? It does not consider any of this.

Don't say, "Ruled the Earth", it conjures up images of a George Bush-like creature ruling over all the other creatures. Can we simply said that dinosaurs were the dominate life-form. It is not nice to confuse those of lesser intelligence.

Christians, do you accept the fact that Dinosaurs rule the Earth for 100 million years? Maybe more,
* Some christians do, others don't.
there is prehistoric man which existed before the creation myth was written?
* First of all it is story, not myth.
* Yes, all christians believe that there were prehistoric men before the creation story was written.
* Adam and Eve were created before the creation story were written by Moses centuries of years later.
* Adam and Eve were created by God years before man (an unknown descendant of Adam & Eve) invented writting. Therefore by definition Adam & Eve are prehistoric. History began when man invented writting.
How do you deal with this in your faith?
* Dinosaurs? 100 million years? No big issue. I'm christian, I believe that God created the universe and everything in it, But I'm not a young earth creacionist.
* Prehistoric man? As said before, by definition Adam and Eve are prehistoric, they lived before the invention of writting.

the main the fossil checklist shows us is while any geological era ended. It says not something approximately it is commencing place or how long it existed. The fossil checklist in actuality isn't something yet a sequence of snapshots (20 or 30) overlaying approximately 4 billion years. something between those snapshots is inferred according to diverse assumptions and a brilliant style of alternative issues might desire to easily as genuinely be inferred with a distinctive set of assumptions. utilising the comparable data you do enable me make some inferences. The fossil checklist information the reality the earth replaced into created, destroyed and reformed many cases. After each reformation those creatures that have been effective have been restored besides as new creatures and issues we left to run for a jointly as to ensure what occurs. After billions of years and 20 or 30 reformations all of the achieveable variables and configurations have been performed out and utilising that information God did one extra reformation that represents the final achieveable configuration for his purposes. that's even achieveable that God used evolution as a mechanism in previous epochs to run issues by using his circumstances. After working his circumstances and figuring out the final achieveable issue God grew to become evolution off. (that could desire to describe why regardless of extra beneficial than 150 years of finding there is not one case of difficulty-unfastened descent being reported in nature or examined experimentally) i'm not asserting that's what genuinely got here approximately, regardless of if that's barely as manageable in mild of the data as your circumstances - it is likewise below no circumstances incompatible with the Bible which particularly states in Genesis 2:2 that the earth has had extra beneficial than one era. the component is once you're making arguments relating to the historic previous of the earth based on the fossil checklist you at the instant are not arguing utilising data, you're arguing inference according to unproven and advantageous unprovable assumptions.. truly are are arguing imaginary activities and calling them data -- that respectfully, is basically a sprint delusional!

Of course there were dinosaurs, but like someone else already said, attributing rulership to them is anthropomorphizing them. As for humans before Adam and Eve, where do you think Cain's wife came from? There had to be more humans than just his immediate family.

I believe that dinosaurs were here millions of years ago, and that a forerunner of modern man also existed. http://www.kjvbible.org/
P.S. Evolution is a lie.
EDIT: I'm so sick of so-called Christians denying that the Bible is the Word of God. The bible wasn't written by ignorant men. It was written by God.
When Moses wrote Genesis (and yes, it was Moses) he wrote exactly what God told him to write. Genesis is factual and literal.

I, like many other Christians, don't believe God created the world in 7 days. Many of the storys in the old testament are clearly fiction and most rational Christians can see this. I believe much of the early bible was made by early civilisation trying to explain the world.
I still believe in God and I believe that Jesus is the son of God etc, but I am a scientist and believe in evolution. God created the world but not in 7 days.

no more than I consider the bees to be 'ruling' the inside of their beehives. The word 'rule' implies intelligence and the ability to decide right from wrong. The dinosaurs had neither.

I believe the world (and universe for that matter) has only been in existence for 6000 years, and that man and animals lived together.
So...
