So, in light of the attack on our faith in the word of God, we need to rectify the truth of the story of creation.  And here it is:  Where do the dinosaurs fit  in? We know they lived.

Perhaps our problem is that we expected God to tell us everything about everything and  He didn’t.  He said, “In the beginning...” and that was a long time ago.  Those who believe the world is only 6000 years old reject that.

When God “did what he did” in the beginning, it included life that is different from life now.  And then it was destroyed.  Strata contains dinosaurs, not pigs chickens and cows.  Those animals didn’t come along until late in Chapter 1 of Genesis.

In the second verse of Genesis, the world is dark, empty, void, and without form.  Something had happened to the world God created in verse one.  God didn’t give up on the world and began  to restore it.  He didn’t “create” anything else until he got to the animals in verse 21.  He made things, and let things happen, and got the world ready for when he created man.  (Read it again in light of those words: create, made, let...)

The earth was covered by water (verse 2) , fish were there (verse 20) 

So when 6000 year “earthers” get to the story of Noah, they have a problem: how did Noah get those dinosaurs on board?  He didn’t.  They were long gone between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2
