When Were The Dinosaurs Created?
Dinosaurs were created on the 6th Day of creation, same day that Adam and Eve were created. Dinosaurs walked with man since that day, until most were wiped out in the catastrophic global flood of Noah's Day, about 1,656 years after the Creation! But you must also know that the word "dinosaur" was not coined or phrased until the 1800's. Hence, throughout History, dinosaurs were called "beasts" and "dragons", which is why we see "Dragon Stories" from every culture in history. However, the story we have all heard from movies, television, newspapers, universities, colleges, most magazines and textbooks of our day, is that dinosaurs lived millions of years ago, yet, no such proof exist for long ages!
According to evolutionists, the dinosaurs “ruled the Earth” for 140 million years, dying out about 65 million years ago. However, scientists do not dig up anything labeled with those ages. They only uncover dead dinosaurs (i.e., their bones), and their bones do not have labels attached telling how old they are. The idea of millions of years of evolution is just the evolutionists’ story about the past. No scientist was there to see the dinosaurs live through this supposed dinosaur age. In fact, there is no proof whatsoever that the world and its fossil layers are millions of years old. No scientist observed dinosaurs die. Scientists only find the bones in the here and now, and because many of them are evolutionists, they try to fit the story of the dinosaurs into their view.
Other scientists, called creation scientists, have a different idea about when dinosaurs lived. They believe they can solve any of the supposed dinosaur mysteries and show how the evidence fits wonderfully with their ideas about the past and beliefs that come from the Bible.The Bible, God’s very special book (or collection of books, really), claims that each writer was supernaturally inspired to write exactly what the Creator of all things wanted him to write down for us so that we can know where we (and dinosaurs) came from, why we are here, and what our future will be. The first book in the Bible—Genesis—teaches us many things about how the universe and life came into existence. Genesis tells us that God created everything—the Earth, stars, sun, moon, plants, animals, and the first two people.
Although the Bible does not tell us exactly how long ago it was that God made the world and its creatures, we can make a good estimate of the date of creation by reading through the Bible and noting some interesting passages:

- God made everything in six days. He did this, by the way, to set a pattern for mankind, which has become our seven day week (as described in Exodus 20:11). God worked for six days and rested for one, as a model for us. Furthermore, Bible scholars will tell you that the Hebrew word for day used in Genesis 1, can only mean an ordinary day in this context.
- We are told God created the first man and woman—Adam and Eve—on Day Six. Many facts about when their children and their children’s children were born are mostly given in Genesis 5 and 11. These genealogies are recorded throughout the Old Testament, up until the time of Christ. They certainly were not chronologies lasting millions of years.
