Question
I WAS (ACCIDENTLEY) LISTENING TO A COMEDIAN ON LINE WHOM I THOUGHT WAS JEFF FOXWORTHY. (IT WAS ACTUALLY RON WHITE) HE WAS POKING FUN @ CHRISTIANS AND PROFOUNDLY PROCLAIMED HIS ATHIEISM.HE JOKENLY WAS SPEAKING TO A CHRISTIAN AND WAS SAYING,"IF CREATION IS THE RESULT OF ALL LIVING FORMS AND THE BIBLE EXPLAINS THE HISTORY OF TIME,THEN WHAT @ DINOSAURS? (EXPLECATIVE).I VISTED MY LOCAL CALVARY CHAPEL BOOK STORE AND THEY HAVE NOTHING ON THE SUBJECT.SO WE HAVE ALL THESE BONES IN NATURAL MUSEUMS AND SKELETONS OF CREATURES BUT WHERE DO THEY PLACE THEMSELVES IN OUR TIMELINE? OFCOURSE IF THEY EXSISTED WHEN NOAH WAS BUILDING THE ARK,GOD WOULD HAVE SAID,"NOW TAKETH ONE OF EA BEAST,FOUL AND FLOCK, MALE AND FEMALE BUT LEAVE THOSE DINOSUARS BEHIND! THEY EAT TO MUCH"
THIS IS THE ONLY PONDERABLE I HAVE IN MY CHRISTIAN FAITH. GOD BLESS

Answer
Greetings, in the name of Jesus...

First allow me to say this:

Sorry, this is outside my expertise

But, at the same time I wish to say this:

There is much debate over this topic, mainly due to what it says in God's word regarding "giants".
The first place it is mentioned is in Genesis 6:4

some say this could be the dinosaurs, and others believe it regards huge men such as Goliath (giant david killed)

There are other referrences but this seems to be the major one.

Myself, I refuse to debate such things...as it leads to hate of others etc.

And this is all I wish to say on this matter...sorry.

The Bible also teaches us not to be so concerned about the geneologies of men etc. So this in my eyes, is just that.

In His service, and love
bro. Kit
