Since we had been younger, the books that we learn, the films that we watch and even commercials about “essentially the most ferocious animal that ever walked the earth” inform us that dinosaurs are 65 million years previous. Nevertheless, scientific proof has, for a while now, proven that this isn’t the case. Actually, there’s proof to help the Bible’s view of an earth that’s simply 1000’s of years previous (between 6,000 to 10,000 years previous). On this publish, we’ll reply some questions corresponding to
1. What are the assumptions used within the relationship of dinosaur fossils?
2. What fossil proof exhibits that dinosaurs can’t be tens of millions of years previous?
3. Did man lived along with dinosaurs?
4. What does the bible say about dinosaurs?
5. So what occurred to the dinosaurs?
So let’s leap proper in!
What are the assumptions used within the relationship of dinosaur fossils?
Uranium-lead (or U-Pb) radioisotope relationship is among the most well-liked strategies of relationship of dinosaur fossils the place Pb isotopes are produced from the produced by radiometric decay of primarily Uranium (U) and Thorium (Th). Nevertheless, there are a number of assumptions when utilizing this methodology
1. Uranium decay constants (half-life) usually are not precisely identified. Keep in mind the examine of half-life in class? If a substance takes 100 years to decay to half of its authentic worth, the half-life (also called decay fixed) is 100 years. The issue with U-Pb relationship methodology is that its half-life or decay fixed will not be precisely identified. Tright here is an assumption right here that radioisotope decay charges are fixed in the present day as in comparison with when the dinosaurs lived.
2. The Drawback with Zircons. Zircon (ZrSiO4) is a standard mineral, particularly in granites and sandstones that’s utilized in U-Pb radioisotope relationship as a result of it’s claimed that Pb can’t be included into the crystal lattice construction (at this level, I’m simply as stunned as you that I really caught one thing in my chemistry courses approach again in JC). Primarily, it’s assumed that since Zircons don’t include Pb, all decay should be from Uranium or Thorium. Nevertheless, as Pb is of course occurring, Zircons might be simply contaminated with Pb via inclusions (defects on Zircon), chemical processing or just from airborne particles whereas dealing with within the lab. As there are not any requirements with the preliminary Pb isotope ratios, one of many methods to fulfill “tens of millions of years previous” mannequin, is to make use of appropriate requirements that might attain this final result. Effectively, what they are saying once you ASS-U-ME…
What fossil proof exhibits that dinosaurs can’t be tens of millions of years previous?
1. Presence of Carbon-14 in Dinosaur Fossils. Carbon-14 really has a half-life of 5,730 years. Nevertheless, Carbon-14 is routinely present in fossils, which is counter-intuitive, if in actual fact dinosaurs are “tens of millions of years previous”. If they’re, Carbon-14 wouldn’t be present in fossils. Try this video to seek out out extra
2. Presence of Crimson Blood Cells, Delicate Tissues in Dinosaur Fossils. There are in actual fact bio-organic materials which have been discovered on in dinosaur fossils. If there are certainly “tens of millions of years previous”, these bio-organic materials wouldn’t be current. Their presence lends to the mounting proof that dinosaurs might be 1000’s of years previous as a substitute. Try this video to seek out out extra
Did man lived along with dinosaurs?
The world over, you’d discover dragon folklore in almost each tradition. You’ll discover it in Chinese language, English, Norway, French and even Indonesian cultures. Even in the present day, we’ve got nation flags corresponding to Wales, Bhutan and Malta with dragon on it. Just like the dinosaurs, dragons are a kind of reptiles that might have existed with people 1000’s of years in the past. There are after all many artwork that depicted the presence of dragons all through the world corresponding to this 5000 years previous Mesopotamia artwork that depicts a struggle between a hero/king and a dragon
Or this depiction of Sauropod Dinosaur on Bishop Richard Bell’s Tomb from the 1500s…
Or this Narmer Palette depicting 2 dinosaurs from round 3000BC
Regardless of the completely different geographical places and cultures, dragons (and dinosaurs) have been depicted in artwork all world wide. Might people have existed with dinosaurs earlier than? Right here’s what the bible says…
What does the bible say about dinosaurs?
1. The Flood of the Bible Resulted within the Dinosaur Fossils Discovered At present. Most individuals suppose that fossilization can solely happen over an extended time frame – like “tens of millions of years”. Nevertheless, in line with Currie and Koppelhus, in 101 Questions on Dinosaurs, they identified that
“The period of time that it takes for a bone to turn into fully permineralized is very variable. If the groundwater is closely laden with minerals in answer, the method can occur quickly. Fashionable bones that fall into mineral springs can turn into permineralized inside a matter of weeks”
Really, when an animal dies, fossilisation doesn’t happen. It’s thought that over “tens of millions of years”, when bones are buried, molecule by molecule, the minerals can substitute the unique bone with rock minerals. Nevertheless, what the specialists are saying is that permineralisation or the deposition of minerals into the areas of the unique bone may occur with the bone is immersed in an answer that’s laden with minerals. And this will happen in a matter of weeks. A catastrophic occasion corresponding to the flood within the bible would have achieved that. Actually, the “dinosaur graveyards” in Canada, USA and Chile means that dinosaurs had been working away from an impending flood and fossils corresponding to this (see beneath) with arched-back, curved tail and open mouth means that the dinosaur had died from asphyxiation – one other proof pointing to the flood that had occurred.
2. Man Existed with Dinosaurs within the Bible. Within the ebook of Job and Psalms, the Behemoth and Leviathan are talked about. The Behemoth in Job 40 and Leviathan in Job 41, Psalm 74/104 carefully resembles the outline of giant creatures such because the dinosaur. Particularly, Job 41, describes the Leviathan as multi-headed and fire-breathing. Hm…now doesn’t that sound just like the Mesopotamia Artwork above?
Conclusion: So what occurred to the dinosaurs?
The rationale why we wrote this text, was actually to bridge what we’ve got find out about dinosaurs via our instructional/leisure system vis-a-vis what the bible says. We’ve mentioned that
- The relationship of fossils to be “tens of millions of years previous” might be problematic resulting from what U-Pb radioactive decay and Carbon-14 discovered on fossils have revealed.
- There are many cultures and proof world wide which have revealed proof of dinosaurs and dragons which have existed along with people.
- The flood of the bible explains how fossilisation can happen in a really brief time frame and likewise explains the presence of “dinosaur graveyards” internationally. The bible additionally depicts the presence of dinosaurs and dragons.
With this, a few questions nonetheless stay.
1. Didn’t Noah carry all types of animals onboard together with the dinosaurs?
Firstly, Noah didn’t carry all dinosaurs however all varieties of dinosaurs. In accordance with some evaluation of the forms of dinosaurs we all know in the present day, this might translate to roughly 55 varieties or 55 pairs of dinosaurs. Secondly, Noah would have taken the youthful (and smaller) dinosaurs to completely utilise the area onboard. Yup, T-rex infants and never T-rex dad and mom. In any other case, there would have been some lodging points if all the large grownup animals went onboard.
2. In that case, why didn’t the dinosaurs survive?
There are a number of potential explanations. Firstly, as a result of flood, conventional feeding grounds of the dinosaurs may have been destroyed. Therefore, dinosaurs would have began to face extinction since after the flood. Secondly, as with how fashionable animals such because the Dodo turn into extinct resulting from searching, dinosaurs may have confronted an analogous eventuality. It was in spite of everything a big animal with a big supply of meals reserve for people. In the end, although dinosaurs had survived the flood, like many different animals that had gone extinct resulting from numerous causes, the dinosaurs may have gone extinct resulting from an analogous method.
In essence, the Bible is true, explains the proof that we see on the planet and has stood the check of time. This additionally explains why it’s perennially the best-selling ebook of all time. As a “handbook for all times”, would you additionally begin studying the bible to discover ways to navigate the challenges that life presents?
