The Bible says that Adam was the first creature on earth and that he was the ruler of all the animals. Where do Dinosaurs come in? In school, I was always taught that Dinosaurs were here "long before people".

The first created was light then the firmanent, third day - water was divided and earth appeared and plants grew; fourth day - sun and moon; fifth day - birds and animals; sixth day - big animals and man. God commanded man to rule over all His creations. The name dinosaur does not appear in the Bible but some description of the dinosaur apply to the leviathan found in the book of Job. Animals were created before man - one day before, not so long.

How does this answer the question I asked? It doesn't! I am very well read in the Bible, I know what it says. All I'm asking is about the Dinosaurs.

Well definitely its a case between scientific belief or religious belief.. If you are more on religion, then definitely the reason why the dinosaurs were here is because God created them after the created the world and Adam and Eve. If you base it on scientific belief, then definitely the creatures came first.. Only bones of dinosaurs are found and not human bones. Maybe that is why.. :) Its kinda complicated to understand and explain.. Its up to you to what you believe in.

Adam was not the first creature of the earth... There were animals and plants already before Adam was created. That is what the Bible says... And science also says that human came later...I don't see how they contradict with one another.

Adam was not the first creature, adam was of His own image and likeness. animals that roam the earth, and swam by the sea was created before Adam, Adam was assigned by God to become the steward of God's creatures.
