Dinosaurs were created for what?

Hi clowdine, I don't actually believe that all the dinosaurs and so forth were stomping around the place millions of years ago. I don't claim to know better, although I have my own opinions - I just don't accept all the speculation which the paleontologists trumpet as historical "fact". It's like someone telling a bedside story, making it up as he goes along, and then convincing himself that it's actually all true. I don't believe that it is. From my reading on the subject, there seems to be an awful lot of self-reinforcing assumptions put forward by the scientific community. I'm not convinced of the veracity of any of the dating methods which are in common use. As I understand the matter, carbon dating (for example) hinges on an assumption that the Earth's atmospheric and solar characteristics have been constant for whatever period is being considered. In my books, that's a mighty big assumption to make. Anyway, from where I stand, it seems to me that the dinosaurs and all the other critters that have been dug up as fossils were likely here just a few thousand years ago, sometime before the Deluge. And the Deluge, of which stories exist in every culture across the globe, would have been enough to wipe them all out. No point trying to persuade anyone to my particular world view - so if anyone doesn't like it, there's really no need to have a cow. But another matter that intrigues me is the widespread tradition of dragons in many cultures around the world. And a bunch of other stuff, for example, the visions of Earth's history related by various mystics down through the ages. They speak of other things too, like giants, for example. One thing's for sure - there's no way the Earth as it now exists would be able to sustain the gargantuan bulk of the dinosaurs that used to exist. Not after the Deluge, and especially not now that humanity has mostly poisoned, raped and generally destroyed the planet's natural abundance. So I disagree with an assertion that coexistence with dinosaurs was not possible - I suspect that humanity did indeed exist at the same time as the dinosaurs. That idea conflicts massively with contemporary notions of the world's history, but to be honest, what's taught as world history really strikes me as a lot of convenient propaganda, tailored to tell everyone what the people in charge want us to believe, rather than what might have actually happened (which they probably don't actually know anyway). Just to cast a spanner into the proverbial works, by way of illustration, what are they STILL teaching all the kiddies in schools and universities? The "Big Bang Theory" (which they teach as FACT, when it's anything BUT fact) has been disproven already, right along with the "Red Shift Theory", but they keep right on teaching it all as though it were established fact. And the Sun? They tell you that the stars and the Sun are big fluffy balls of plasma, and that they're big nuclear furnaces. But the Sun is solid - a big, black, presumably hairless ball, a million times bigger than Earth, and we have the photos to prove it. And we still have no clue what it is or how it works. This is apparently how mainstream science works - establish a paradigm, and stick to it no matter what - even ignore contrary evidence, in order to maintain the status quo, and to keep all the vested interests happy (and we can be quite sure that there are HEAPS of academic egoes, university reputations and big-money vested interests involved in all these things). Anyway, suffice to say that I don't personally accept the popular story about how all the dinosaurs got whacked by an asteroid millions of years ago. I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything - but no-one has to accept any particular story if they don't choose to. And I don't.

You are making several assumptions in your topic here, which I do not agree with, and hence my reasons may not be the ones that you are looking for, but I still think you would find some sense in them! Well, to start off with, you believe that God created the dinosaurs, whereas I, like a good science student, believe in evolution! This means that as competition grew, the reptiles grew in size, but there were many disadvantages of big size too - so they ultimately perished. Now coming to your argument that why did God create them in the first place, I think you are here believing that God wanted to create human beings - that was his ultimate aim. I would contend that. May be God now wants a different Super Human species, who will be talking about how humans were created a million years ago and wonder why God made them! Animals are in no way, inferior to humans - it is only our ego that makes us think in that way. Certainly all life has a right to share earth, and if there is a culprit that spoils the perfect harmony of nature around, then I am afraid I have to speak the truth - and the truth is that this culprit is Man. So if you actually believe in God, then it is reasonable to assume that he wanted all life on earth except humans! We are the only odd ones - a sore thumb in the otherwise perfect - absolutely perfect mother earth.

haha ^_^ MAybe to generate more knowledge for us?? Or maybe created to find out if earth is really suitable for living.. LOL
