When people think of dinosaurs, they usually picture a T. rex stomping through a jungle, searching for a small dino snack. But that’s not how things were when dinosaurs were first created.

You see, dinosaurs were made by God on day six of creation week, along with the other land creatures. And, according to Genesis, all the animals were originally vegetarian in this original “very good” creation.

But what about those sharp teeth and claws? Well, sharp teeth don’t mean “meat eater.” There’s lots of creatures today with sharp teeth and they eat mostly plants and fruits.

It wasn’t until after Adam’s sin that dinosaurs ate other animals.
