How could dinosaurs have lived in the Mesozoic Era if the Earth is only 6,000 years old ?

People who believe in a young earth and young universe have to deny the atomic clock, astronomy, and physics in general, not to mention geology, and of course the fossil record.

Millions/billions of years is a concept of evolution; old age. Young Earth is a concept from the Bible. You cannot combine the two and do either justice, as they are polar opposites. Finding soft tissue in dinosaur bones sorta nukes the idea of millions/billions of years until further notice.

Did dinosaurs live with us?

Historically, documented, yes, recorded in the Bible. But when the Bible was written, the word "dinosaur" had not been invented yet. They used the word "behemoth" or leviathan, or Sea Serpents recorded by sailors.

Job 40:17 suggests that the most natural interpretation is that the tail of Behemoth is compared to a cedar for its great size. The passage Job 40:15–24 gives a detailed description of the creature named ‘Behemoth’.

It could only be a hippo or an elephant or a dinosaur. The first two are easily dismissed by the "tail compared to a cedar for its great size."

The problems with age dating and historical science are many, and presuppositions abound, and would be a lot more believable if science would be more open and honest about their starting point.

You assume the secular “old-earth” assumptions of uniformitarianism and naturalism in order to “prove” that the earth is old. This circular logic may be due to the fact that many old-earth supporters are not aware of their own starting assumptions. If you start with the wrong assumptions, you are certainly, not maybe, certainly will get the wrong answer.

If we are to believe the Bible at all and call ourselves Christians, we must believe Genesis 1–11 as literal history because Jesus, the New Testament Apostles, and the Old Testament prophets did, and because these opening chapters of Genesis are foundational to the rest of the Bible.

Start at "the beginning" with the Creation account in Genesis 1-11. Of the top ten Hebrew departments in major cities around the world, there is no debate over what the Bible "says." Young Earth, literal six day creation. All agree.

Yet most of us were taught as children that this was a myth, because we didn't have scientific answers then, except the "evolution is science" mantra battering us from all sides.

Truth + Fables = Lies. If you can't prove your starting assumptions, you're living a lie, known to be clinically unhealthy, bombs waiting to blow up in your face, unnecessary life-changing stuff. We each must prove our steps as we go to build and climb, or we go backwards, revolving around nothing.

Darwinian Evolution is the biggest lie in the world today, and is suffocating on its lies, in demise, soon to be gone; within a decade. Evolution as taught in our schools is NOT science, or it would be testable repeatedly. Oops, what happened to "evolution is science?" Lies, built upon lies.

How much proof do you need? The following post shows six evidences for a Young Earth:

Tectonic activity of a Young Moon (see comments)

Coal beds of the Central USA less than 10,000 yrs

Over-pressured formations of the North Sea younger than 10,000 yrs

Fossil Record

Stratigraphic evidence of Noah's Flood

Historical literal narrative of the events of the Bible, with verifiable genealogy to back it all up, eyewitness account.

Geology of Grand Canyon & Noah's Flood

In what ways do you justify that the Earth is some 6000 years old?

A seventh evidence for a Young Earth = Young Moon. Within the LRO post is an eighth evidence for Young Earth: fossil evidence screams rapid burial; many spectacular evidences of Noah's Flood--the Grand Canyon is probably one.

LRO - Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter & Fossil Evidence

Do you really believe the Earth is 6000 years old?

Addendum

Gotten 4 thumbs down already; I'm not offended, your opinion should require support, but okay. If you had a spine, you would leave a comment. You just show the ignorance of the company we keep. You shouldn't thumbs down because of different opinion; that's what the Comment is for. If it's wrong, tell me, but don't hide in anonymity and thumb me without reason; chickenshit, don't you think, like back-stabbing?

I need to make a distinction of truth. Please notice the evidence in fact presented here, not unsupported or unfounded opinion, not a link, and we're all in this together so there's no hate except for the pretender and truth terrorist. This is the presentation of a professional with support in the integrity of claim by burden of proof; the scientific method. I make the distinction because an atheist doesn't seem to get it. Without integrity, there is no claim.

Darwinian Evolution is total opinion. Millions/billions of years are total unfounded opinion. Species change is total unfounded opinion. Prove me wrong, please, so we can all go back to doing something useful.

I guess I was a little offended by the four thumbs down; you push me into a corner; a back-handed challenge. So, if you are going to hold a belief about Darwinian Evolution, you need a fact. Show me your fact. Otherwise, let the record show, you're a proven liar and live a lie. I don't know how to soften the blow; dead end. I would much rather be proven wrong than carry the stress of a lie. It's how we learn; to be wise one must be a fool first, it's just a stage we go through. Prove something in truth and integrity; challenge open.

My mind is made up. Don't bother me with facts.
