Today Reminder (Dinosaurs) – 4 September 2017



A reminder for today
Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man. But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple. (Psalm 5:6-7)

I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I had coffee and buttermilk rusks yesterday and it was awesome. I love a cheat day and I always use it well, especially when I can add a little chocolate to my day. It is amazing how your body responds to a little unhealthy eating after a week of keeping strict to your diet. So, what did dinosaurs eat? Well, firstly let’s put on our Biblical glasses and look at the question again. God created animals on day six, so Dinosaurs were created by God on day six with the rest of the land animals (Genesis 1:24-25). So, Dinosaurs are not millions of years old and they lived beside man. Now you would say that if a T-Rex lived in the garden of Eden, would he not eat Adam and Eve? 

The problem is that many people get their ideas about Dinosaurs from Hollywood movies which is fiction. Is Hollywood trying to tell and accurate story or are they trying to tell an entertaining story? Think about this: if Dinosaurs did not go extinct but instead the Elephant did and we go to watch Jurassic park, we will probably see an Elephant running around and killing people with its tusks. This would be a misrepresentation, because we cannot tell the behaviour of an animal by its bones.
Now fossils do not come with labels telling you how old they are. Do we have evidence that Dinosaurs did not live so long ago? Well yes, do you know that they found evidence of Dinosaur red blood cells in Montana and more recently they found soft tissue of a T-Rex also in Montana. This is evidence that is consistent with what the Bible teaches. 

So, what did Dinosaurs eat? They ate plants and how do we know that? Genesis 1:29-30 we read that all land animals ate plants. So, originally all the Dinosaurs ate plants like all the other animals God created. One more thing, to eat meat you will have to eat a dead thing and before sin there was no death. After sin entered the world this might have changed as we see in animals today, but definitely not before. Now, many will say what about their teeth, surely that means they were meat eaters. Now remember some plants require sharp teeth. There are also many animals alive today with very sharp teeth that only eats plants like the Black Uakari or the fruit bat.

We can conclude, God made Dinosaurs on day six and not millions of years ago and originally, they all ate plants. Do not let satan’s worldly marketing confuse you or let you believe his lies. God made it all and it is about six thousand years ago.  

Lord, once again we thank you for all the evidence we have and the truth we have in you. Guard our minds and especially the minds of our children against the lies of the enemy. In Jesus name.

Have an awesome day, dear friend of Jesus. 

Cheers
