Dinosaurs and Humans

Dinosaur Bones and Human Bones

Old-earth proponents often argue that if man and dinosaurs lived at the same time, their fossils should be found in the same layers. Biblical creationists believe that man and dinosaurs lived at the same time because God said that He created man and land animals on Day Six. Why don’t we find human fossils with dinosaur fossils?

Dinosaurs on Noah’s Ark?

The Bible states that two of every kind of land animal and seven of some went onto the Ark. Some skeptics ask, “How could two of every kind of dinosaur fit on the Ark?” If dinosaurs sailed on the Ark, where are they today?

Dinosaurs and Humans Together

There are many references to historical evidence of dinosaurs and man living together, such as the petroglyph in Natural Bridges, Utah, legends and stories of dragons in Europe, and use of the dragon motif by the Chinese. But one striking physical in Asia is the bas-relief picture of a dinosaur in the ruins of Angkor outside of Siem Reap, Cambodia.

Crocodiles, Dinosaurs, and Humans

According to evolutionary time, crocodiles have been around since the time of the dinosaurs—and yet, humans live with crocodiles today. So why is it ridiculous to think humans and dinosaurs lived at the same time?
