How do you as a 'Christian' reconcile the claimed ages of dinosaur fossils?
Very easily actually. The ages are correct. I believe they correctly carbon date them at millions of years ago.
I won't go into detail for now, but if anyone asks or disagrees I can. Scripture says the devil was on earth in Eden before Adam and Eve Eze 28:13. There was a point in time when their sin became 'full measure' and they were cast out of heaven. They must have been able to travel between earth and heaven. Angels are called 'stars' in many scriptures. In Rev 12:1 it says a third of all the 'stars' were cast to earth.
Now I have of late been doing a lot of studying on angels. Especially the fallen ones. They are not idle. They 'do' things. It is not outside of their ability and nor the restrictions placed on them by God to hypothesize that they be behind something like a dinosaur era. Many are tying things like werewolves, vampires, mermaids, Nephilim, green aliens, cyclops, centaurs, to bodies that fallen angels have created and possessed. In the case of dinosaurs it could just have been DNA experimentations. Angels are highly intelligent and created a little above us Heb 2:7. We have much in common with them. I can certainly understand the achievement appeal in seeing a great T-Rex running around.
God then changed up the earth and prepared it for humans. I believe this because we see that before things we know of were spoken into existence over the six days, we read how the Spirit of God was hovering 'over the waters' Gen 1:1-2
Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
We also know that God made the Lion the top animal. As such, He had to remove the T-Rex. It is 100% illogical to think He envisioned them living side by side.
Mary Schweitzer though describing herself as an Evangelical Christian claims the TRex thighbone she found soft tissue in is 66 million years old. She refuses to have it Carbon 14 dated as she knows that would reveal the TRex lived a century or so before The Flood and was electrocuted and buried in flood sediments about 4,370 years ago.
Practically every geologist, scientist and similar is now pushing lies about Earth being billions of years old and all life evolved from wet rocks on an Earth formed from red hot dust.
Not sure they are pushing lies to be honest. What would be the purpose? Evolution itself is so unsound and cannot be supported by millions of years old dinosaurs. It is two completely separate and should be unrelated matters.
Do you believe all life was created during Creation week as described in the Bible or evolved up through pondslime, fish, monkeys, apes to we humans?
Darwin showed how worms prove Earth is young and The Flood was real.
Evolution by natural selection being the path God or colliding atoms took to create you and I is more unlikely then you winning the lotto.
The odds of 'winning combinations of cells', puts the date for the simplest working part into 'centillions' of years. Not a mere 13.8 billion years with the big bang. They are missing more noughts than we have the words to count. Perhaps if the two atoms collided close to infinity x infinity years ago, sure. But then where did those two atoms come from
?
Atheists push creation via evolution and a big bang as it is literally the
only ideology that can numb the mind for a while from the painfully obvious and real reality of a God Creator.
As Isaac Newton states, '
'In the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God's existence''.
