LOL!! Neither of these people are scientists and have no authority to speak on Evolution! The earth is billions of years old. That is a fact. The bible stories are primitive myths from a pre-scientific era. That is a fact. Dinosaurs roamed the earth 65 million years ago. That is a fact. Did God create dinosaurs and man at the same time?! Did Adam go about naming all the dinosaurs as he searched for a mate?!! Such a funny God!! Did God create dinosaurs...WHY?! Did Moses eat them? Were they fun to draw? Did they ever threaten the Israelites? Were there thousands of books written about how best to protect villages and cities from T. REX?? Does history recount all the terrible events caused by dinosaurs? I mean, really....did God create dinosaurs when he created Adam? One wonders why? And one wonders why dinosaurs exist as fossils dated 67 million years ago but not in human history? One wonders why these monstrous creatures only became known when paleontologists discovered the fossil record? Well, dinosaurs are so insignificant. Who is surprised that they take no part in all the epic tales of war and conquest?! I mean...really...they were not even important enough to be pets! :-) But yes; they lived with Adam and Eve and Moses and Solomon. They were not important enough to inform any of the stories, however! They don't exist in any of the histories even in passing because they were far too insignificant for notice! Indeed, they were so insignificant that when they became extinct it was just too unimportant to even mention!! Chuckle, Chuckle, Chuckle!!! And, of course it is unremarkable that Genesis does not mention the creation of dinosaurs--the largest creatures ever to exist. The fact that the primitive writers of Genesis existed 65 million years after diniosaurs became extinct and had no science to inform them of fossil history is surely not the reason dinosaurs are not front and center in Genesis. There is really no reason that creatures the size of dinosaurs should ever have played a part in Christian myth. They were only ignored because they are so very uninteresting and not because they existed 65 million years before people. Why would Moses write about dinosaurs? When Adam named all the dinosaurs did he use a force field for protection? He wasn't wearing clothes and he had no belly button. He was very brave. But was he as brave as Noah who took every type of dinosaur on the Ark? How do you capture and cage a dinosaur? Very carefully, I guess! :-)
