I believe the thread’s author might be referring to Job 40:15-24. Could be wrong, though.
I think God created dinosaurs for the same reason he created all the other animals - for mankind to have dominion over them (Genesis 1:26). And this purpose remains today.
BUT Thistle suggest that Truth Seeker and scripture are wrong. He (she} says that man and dinosaur did NOT exist at the same time. So who’s right? Well let’s see what modern research science has to say
In a recent book published and released on November 6, 2009 by the National Research Council of Italy entitled, “Evolutionism: The Decline of an Hypothesis” there is a report by a number of scientists that dinosaurs and man have indeed coexisted based on C-14 dating of dinosaur femur bone collagen from Montana. They repeated the testing on dinosaur bioapatite and obtained concordant C-14 ages all in the range of 23,000 to 30,000 C-14 years. Thus those alleged 65,000,000 to 225 million years since dinosaurs supposedly became extinct perhaps only exist in the minds of some men.
There are even fossil dinosaur and human footprints together, discovered in a river bottom and pristine ones under tons of rocks and just recently confirmed by cat-scan of the Delk footprint.
Truth Seeker and Thistle et al. might like to visit
www.dinosaurandman.org to view the many distinct dinosaur depictions World-Wide that archaeologists have found. Also visit
www.dinosaurc14ages.com for details of the C-14 dating and further critique of unreliable radioactive decay methods of dating and end up with
www.earthage.com
Perhaps even C-14 dating may give way too old ages based on the fact of the many realistic dinosaur depictions over the past 500 to 3,000 years ago.
Oh Yes, NASA scientists have discovered that one of the moons of Jupiter, Titan I think, may have more hydrocarbons (source of our oil) than all that is in the earth so dinosaurs may not have contributed one drop of oil to our fleet of cars. Perhaps since NASA has also suggested that there may have been a massive flood at one time on Mars then perhaps there may have been one on earth as well — see

I believe that scripture is truly history and science is slowly coming around to find evidence such as the above that the six days of creation could be as true as the church fathers argue as well as God’s way to teach us how to love and get to heaven.
