history tells us with proof that dinosaurs were around 64 million years b4 humans were around

but the bible tells us that adam and eve were created on the 6th day (or the 7th..i forgot)

i asked my cousin this question...and being the hardcore christian that she is..she believes that there were no such things as dinosaurs

than i asked my mom...she tells me long time ago..in gods eye..one day could have been a million years today..it makes sense..but i just wanted to hear something new from other people..so im asking it here

Dude if you look at any of my other posts, you can see that I'm a pretty hardcore Christian myself. And it's just crazy for someone to say that dinosaurs didn't exist.
You have to understand, God is not bound by time. 7 days could have been 7 billion years. All the creatures of the earth were created before man. Time was created for mankind to have purpose.

I fail to see how believing that the Bible is God's word, but recognizing that not every word in it is to be taken literally makes a person either ignorant or dishonest.

Older then 5766. Who really cares that much? There are more important things then figuring out this question.

Well, I can go along with both of those statements.

I don't really think it's a question of how old the world is. It is a question of whether the Bible is literally word for word true, and this is one easily debatable topic on that subject.

I don't care if you consider the bible word-for-word, I don't even care what you do with the bible, so again, who cares how old the world is? Why must you try and impose your view on me? Just live and let live.

I was not trying to impose any views on anybody. This is a debating forum, I was trying to debate things. If you have fixed views which you are not prepared to discuss, then seems rather a waste of time being a member of this excellent forum.

I would love to debate that, unless you are just going to quote Scriptures as scientific evidence
