Were Dionosarurs and Humans Alive the Same Time?

 
Dinosaur Blood Found in Frozen Femur
I doubt if this dinosaur (female tyrranasaurus Rex) lived 65 million years ago!  Put a couple of raw steaks in your freezer and see how long they last!  If we believe the world was created some 6000 years or so in the past, then dinosaurs had to be alive when people lived on earth. 
 
I don't have hard evidence for this, but several facts do match the claim for a young earth.  
HISTORY DEMONSTRATES HUMANS KNEW OF DINOSAURS
A volume written by a naturalist in about AD 1000, shows animal drawings that resemble dinosaurs.  Cave dwelling drawings also depict figure that resemble dinosaurs.
The various dragon myths may have arisen from the ancient encounter with dinasaurs.

ONE GREAT EVIDENCE IS THE BIBLE ITSELF! 
The book of Job depicts the life of a faithful follower of God, a Gentile, who lived sometime in the era of Abraham or before.  The Lord explains that while He let Job suffer, He alone knows what He is doing, as demonstrated by the power and wisdom of His creation.  

"Behold the behemoth. which I made with you, he eats grass like an ox...he moves his tail  like a cedar...his bones are like bars of iron..." (Job 10:15).
Some of the newer translation use the word "elephant" or "hippopotamus."   Have you ever seen the "swiggely" tall of a elephant or hippopotamus?  The description in Job matches a dinosaur like an Aptosaurus!

 Here's some life-size models of an Aptosaurus.  

As of today, no human remains have been found with any dinosaur.  It may never be found.  1) I doubt any human would want in the neighborhood of an Aptosaursus! ("Honey the dinosaur stepped on the house again!") 2) Most fossils are sea creatures.  Human remains or animals including dinosaurs are within the 1% of fossil finds. We'll talk more about this when next time we will talk about the evidence of the flood.

The point that I want to make is that there is evidence that matches that the dinosaurs lived when humans existed on earth.  This matches the claims of a young earth as well.
Now we need to look at whether or not dinosaurs were on the earth!  And what happened to the dinosaurs.  (Next time's article).

Geology and a Young Earth

The amount of salt and sludge that empties from earth's rivers into the sea is too small an amount if the earth were 4.5 billion years.

 Stalactites and Stalagmites could not be formed over millions of years.  That would mean water with lime etc. would have to flow precisely in the same spot for thousands of years!  These forms are made by catastrophes not "gradualism' (the dogma of geology.)  A major catastrophes would be Noah's flood (which I will go into at another time), rapid melting of the ice age ( young earth scientists believe there was one ice age which only existed 200-700 years).  At any rate these cave formations do not argue for a 4.5 billion year old earth.


  Mt. Saint Helens, a moderate volcano, erupted in the 1980's creating canyons which would have taken millions of years by  gradual erosionNewly formed lava has been dated by the clocking methods to be millions of years old instead of a month old.

DATING METHODS ARE PROGRAMED BY THE DOGMA OF GRADUALISM
Various elements and compounds will lose their electrons or change (decay) over time.  If the dogma that what appears today has always been and catastrophes are not taken into account, then faulty conclusions will be arrived at.

A team of scientists taking the various means of dating instruments found that there were millions of years of variation by the "clocks" that are used.  Again, most of this can be due to the 150 year old dogma of "gradualism."
DIAMONDS ARE A YOUNG EARTHERS BEST FRIEND

Recently, scientists have been able to blow open diamonds!  What did they find?  Carbon 14!  Carbon 14 decays after 5000 years! The samples taken were judged to be about 2,000 to 4,000 years old, not millions of years!  In other words the existence of diamonds formed by pressure on coal doesn't necessarily take millions of years.

I'VE JUST GOT STARTED!   I want to cover strata, the Grand Canyon, and dinosaurs next, and yes Noah's flood.  I use to believe that the earth was millions of years old.  One Christian has stated that even a universe of 13.7 billion years does not give enough time for all we see today.  Well, its all a miracle.  I just believe it is even more supernatural if we take some of these observances and show they match a miraculous six day (24 hours) creation!

I'd love to hear from you, and if you disagree, I won't burn you at the stake.
