On the subject of scientists not being able to know if Dinosaurs died millions of years ago because they weren't there to witness them dying, rather beggars beleif, i assume you may have heard in passing about carbon dating? or is that made up for the purpose of decieving religious folk?

Also if they were present 6000 years ago would that not have made humans life rather hard, as the abundance of twenty foot tall killing machines may have made farming, building and indeed any aspect of life very difficult indeed. i would be very greatful for an answer

On the subject of scientists not being able to know if Dinosaurs died millions of years ago because they weren't there to witness them dying, rather beggars beleif,

The issue is whether you trust a perfect God when He speaks on the creation He eyewitnessed or if you trust imperfect men when they make up stories about the past. It would be illogical to think imperfect men could be trusted over a perfect God. I simply don't have that kind of faith in men. Here is a good article on this: 2079

i assume you may have heard in passing about carbon dating? or is that made up for the purpose of decieving religious folk?

No offense, but you apparently don't know much about carbon-14 dating. Carbon-14 can only give a date of about 50,000 to 100,000 years maximum due to its short half-life-less than 6,000 years. Please see 3389What about carbon dating?

Also if they were present 6000 years ago would that not have made humans life rather hard, as the abundance of twenty foot tall killing machines may have made farming, building and indeed any aspect of life very difficult indeed. i would be very greatful for an answer

What makes you think that dinosaurs were "killing machines" that would wreak havoc? I suggest you've watched too much Jurassic Park. Imagine, someone in the future, looking back as us saying "how could man have survived with the massive numbers of 'killing machine' lions around?" Besides, originally dinosaurs were vegetarian (Genesis 1:30). It wasn't until after the Curse that some of them became meat eaters.

Also, why do you think they were in abundance? The nature of the 10699 reveals relatively few big dinosaurs and the average size of all dinosaurs was that of a sheep!? It isn't too difficult when you put it into perspective. Even James 3 indicates that man tamed reptiles:

All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man (James 3:7).

So it wouldn't surprise me if some dinosaurs were even used by man. I want to encourage you to study this further.

Kind regards in Christ,

I was the man that spoke to Ken Ham about being a theistic evolutionist before stumbling across AIG and the many resources offered here. I had him sign my copy of "The Lie" as this book contributed tremendously to the change in my Christian life that brought me to a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ through solid doctrine.

I was finally able to attend a conference Ken was speaking at (World View Weekend in Tennessee) and I got the opportunity to personally thank him for his work and the work of all the people at AIG. I praise God for what He is doing through this vital ministry. I could have stood around and talked for an hour with Mr. Ham! This ministry is fast becoming like the burning in my bones spoken about by Jeremiah. It is, in my opinion, the next great battle we face as evangelical Christians today - teaching the proper doctrine concerning Genesis 1-11. I am linking arms with you all to further edify the church in this area.

I can't tell you how many Christians I have spoken to (and I try to speak to as many as I can about this subject!) who are weak in this area of doctrine and how much it affects their world view, thus their view of Christianity as a whole. Every chance I get I teach my class (I am a Sunday School teacher and a discipleship training teacher) the importance of the literal six day Creation dctrine and the worldwide flood and what these two pieces of history mean to us as the church.

Thank you all very much for your ministry there and praise God for His work through you! The desire of my heart is to see all born-again believers become solid in their doctrine starting from those first words, "In the beginning God…"
