Dinosaurs Never Existed? Wait! What? Lets Dig Into This

This thread is an offshoot of the one from yesterday, in which I posted about the pteranodon that was videoed flying in the skies in Idaho.
After I heard about that and watched the video, I started looking to see if it were possible that there had been other sightings, and discovered that these huge flying reptiles have been seen all over the world for many years.
I posted a short video that shows an old picture from the Civil War of several soldiers standing around some kind of an enormous "bird" that they had killed. You can plainly see the head looks exactly like the ones in later recreations of a pteranodon, which was not even discovered at the time of the civil War.

Well, after that, I was reading about some of the native carvings from South America, and early Chinese carvings and pottery, and they all show creatures that look a whole lot like what we call a dinosaur. The only way that they could have carved or painted it so realistically was if they had seen one of the creatures.

More searching found this video, which shows natives in Africa as well as South America who say that these creatures still exist in the deepest jungles.
Since there is just a whole lot of this world where men have never set a foot on, it is entirely possible that there are many of these types of creatures still living in the remote mountains and jungles of the world.

 

The Bible says that all of the animals were created on the same day of creation as man was created. This could be taken to imply that the dinosaurs were also either created on the same day as mankind, while the great monsters of the ocean (such as whales) were created the day before the animals on the face of the earth.

Even though evolutionists tell us that dinosaurs actually lived and died out millions of years ago, there is scientific proof that they lived much more recently than that, and also some evidence that some species which were thought to be extinct millions of years ago, do still exist.

If we take the Bible account that these dinosaurs were created at the same time as mankind, then it also means that they lived at the same time, and this explains why some of the early carving and cave drawings seen to show dinosaurs. The temple in Cambodia has carvings of what looks like dinosaurs, and they were made only a few hundred years ago, not thousands of years.

In Montana, bones were found that date back to several thousand years ago, and they still have residue of blood cells and even muscle tissue. For over 20 years, the find was not even documented, because they thought that it had to be from a bison or other large animal, and not a dinosaur.
Even after it was verified that they were dinosaur bones, the information still is not being released as new evidence of more recent dinosaurs.

It makes sense to me that what killed most of the dinosaurs was not some asteroid strike millions of years ago, but rather, they died in the great flood along with the other humans and animals that were living at that time in history.
Since they have actually found creatures like a modern day duck, right along side of the dinosaur bones, obviously they lived much more recently than has been taught to us in grade school.

Do they still exist today ? I think that is possible as well. There is a lot of the world that has never been explored, or even seen by humans; so who knows what creatures might still live there.

 

I am a Christian, and I believe in the validity of the Bible accounts. Except where the text is obviously allegorical, I also believe in a literal translation of the Bible. However, what we often find ourselves having to support, as Christians, are not the actual words of the Bible, but someone's interpretation of them. This includes the idea of a literal six-day creation.

Although God created light on the first day, calling the light day and the darkness night, and the light was sufficient to sustain the plants that were created on the third day, He did not create the sun, the moon, and the stars until the fourth day, so it is clear that, at least at that point, days weren't the 24-hour days that we are familiar with. Fish and birds were created on the fifth day, and land animals were created on the sixth day.

From the Biblical account, I don't think we can know that the days of creation were 24-hour days or even much longer periods of time. In Genesis 1:5, before the sun was created, "day" is used as a term for "light." Yet, the latter part of that same verse repeated elsewhere in the creation account, it seems to be used to describe a day as we know it, where it reads, "and the evening and the morning were the first day." Still, since the sun and the moon were not yet created, it couldn't have been as we know it. In 2:4, that same word seems to describe the whole of creation: "These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created. In the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens."

Even in our time, we use "day" to mean different things. When I say something like, "In my day, ..." I am clearly not talking about one specific day, but of a more indefinite period of time. 2 Peter 3:8 says that a day with the Lord is like a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

 

I just watched an amazing video that shows some of the historical findings of dinosaurs, and with human footprints walking in the same trail as the dinosaurs. They might have even been hunting them, since some of the footprints are exactly IN the dinosaur print !
It shows pictures from "burial rocks" in Peru, and they had different animals carved on them, and some had dinosaurs, and even ones with people killing the dinosaur.
This is (again) a long video; but I was mesmerized for an hour watching this. Some of the dinosaurs are in Texas; so maybe I will have to get busy and pay @Ina I. Wonder a visit and she can take me to see the dinosaur footprints down there.

 

I had never even heard of such a thing as a pangolin before, so I had to look it up and save a picture to post just in case someone else has not seen a picture of one before either. Very interesting little creature, and kind of reminds me of an armoured squirrel.
Here, we have a creature called an armadillo, and it looks like an opossum with armoured plates. In fact , they are jokingly called "possum on the half shell" sometimes. There are only a few where I live, and when I do see one, it has usually been run over by a car. I have never seen one that was still alive.

Also, you mentioned the sonar that has been trying to discover some of the creatures that have been seen in lakes, such as the Loch Ness Monster. Apparently, some of the sonar equipment have picked up evidence of living dinosaurs, or at least something very large, that is living in some of the lakes where they are known to have been seen.
Here is a video that tells more about this, and also a picture of a pangolin.

 

That is a great video, @Joe Riley , and parts of it I agree with, and parts , I do not agree. Since I believe in creation, and not evolution; I totally agree that most of what we are shown in museums are probably faked, just like the video shows that they are.
However, I do believe that we have had some of those kinds of creatures that did, and do still, exist on the earth. There are interesting ancient drawings and paintings that show humans and what we call a dinosaur, and they existed together.
Since these images age well over 1,000 years old, they are not something that was just made; but neither are the creatures that they depict ones that lived millions of years ago.
My (at present) take on this is that some of these creatures did exist , at least up until a few hundreds of years ago, and that some possibly still do exist in the deep jungles or forests of the world where humans do not see them.
There is a thread on here that I started that talks about dinosaurs still existing in remote places, and even the Bible talks about Leviathon, which could well be one of these enormous lizard-creatures, or a dinosaur of some sort.
Here is a picture from South American pottery that plainly shows something that we call a dinosaur, and there are people in the picture. Obviously, the people who made these pictures actually saw these creatures and knew they existed.

 

Since I came to realize that the existence of dinosaurs did not necessarily contradict the Bible account, I haven't really questioned the existence of dinosaurs. It seems unlikely to me that the entire science of paleontology is a scam, and a conspiracy, but I have no doubt that much of it is false, either intentionally so or due to false presumptions.

As we've seen from the global warming, climatologists are not beyond taking part in a conspiracy of lies and data manipulation, so I wouldn't entirely discount it.
