I have no problem in that a superior being exists. One Biblical Day does not mean a 24 hour day as we know it. The earlier animals including the dinosaurs probably died out the same way the Mammoths  died. Humans were clever enough to protect themselves from the cold weather that will come again as an Ice Age. Humans have always been humans and there is nothing halfway. There is NO  missing link . The flood was probably not as big as the bible suggests but must have been very large. Other cultures speak of it and some modern people suggest that there will be more floods soon if the icecaps melt. Where did 6000 years come from? Of course the earth and mankind have been around much longer than that.

OK, so assuming then that science is a much better tool for measuring the age of the universe and the earth than a 2,000 year old book written by peasants and shepherds, and given that science posits that the earth is about 10-15 BILLION years younger than the universe at large, how does THAT support the six sequential time period motif of the bibble?

Was there like a 15 billion year break between two of the "days" or something?

Original Message 1) As "god" created animals on the fifth day and man the next day - and they existed together in the Garden of Eden, how did Adam and Eve avoid getting eaten by the multitudes of dinosaurs that must have been all around? Wouldn't most of their time have been dedicated to avoiding dinosaurs? And why would god do that to them? Wouldn't he want to protect his first two human creations to insure their successful propagation??

2) If Adam and Eve were people smart enough to understand and obey or disobey "god" and Christians think of them in modern terms as rational, aware people - then why is the evidence of prehistoric man, which must have post-dated Adam and Eve, point to creatures so primitive and undeveloped? (Oh, I'm sorry. this isn't a dinosaur question.)

3) How did Noah round up two of every dinosaur, especially the flying ones, without getting eaten?? And how did he get close enough to determine males from females? And how did he keep them from eating all the other animals? And what did he feed all the carnivorous animals if not other animals?

4) If the age of the earth is a scant 6,000 years then dinosaurs must have disappeared rather suddenly. Given that although there is plenty of sub-ocean evidence of extinction level meteor impacts, that Christianity rests on the fact that all that was created back when had to continue to this day as Noah saved all the animals, then WTF happened to the dinosaurs? And so suddenly? I mean, if indeed there have been no mass extinction level events?

5) If radiocarbon dating is flawed according to creationists, then why does this method of dating consistently separate into epochs that span millions of years certain things that are shown to have existed concurrently - like the dinosaurs in relation to things shown to be tens of millions of years older or younger?
