Exploratory Dissertations
This information was taken from history books, newspaper articles, Wikipedia and of course the most reliable source of information, the Bible. The blog you are about to read has been researched, organized, and laid out using information that may be offensive to some readers. These analysis were not put together in judgment, malice or grievance toward any group or individual. Most of this information is esoteric and was intended exclusively as a natural resource to assist the followers of “the way,” in gathering and discovering new knowledge.
According to Science,
Dinosaurs are described under three classifications; taxonomic, morphological, and ecological .
Taxonomy – is the science of naming, describing and classifying organisms.
Morphology – is Greek and is a makeup of two words, morph- meaning ‘shape, form’ and ology meaning science.
Ecological – pertains to how living organisms relate to one another and to their physical surroundings.
The origin of Birds
With over 11,000 living species of birds, these creatures have remain among the most diverse groups of vertebrates to exist on the planet.
Did you know, according to science, birds were once dinosaurs?
Paleontologists, using fossil evidence, believe they have identified over 900 distinct genera of birds (currant dinosaurs) and more than 1,000 different species of non-avian (or extinct dinosaur fossils).
According to the data…
Dinosaurs are represented on every continent by both extant species (birds) and fossil remains. Through the first half of the 20th century, before birds were recognized as dinosaurs, most of the scientific community believed the species to be sluggish, cold-blooded creatures (described as terrible lizards).
Dinosaur is Greek, it’s a make-up of two words, deinos (terrible) and sauros (lizard).
In biology extant – is the opposite of extinct. An extant group is one which has survived into the present day. They are described as a living group. Scientist currently believe that all birds are extant groups of dinosaurs.
Did you know: Paleontologists only started studying dinosaur fossils 200 years ago? So we have only just begun to scratch the surface into this pre-historic mystery!
Most researches conducted since the 70’s, however, have indicated that dinosaurs were active animals with elevated metabolisms and numerous adaptations for social interaction. Some dinosaurs were herbivorous others carnivorous.
As recorded scientifically,
dinosaurs first appeared during the Triassic period, which was between 243 and 233.23 million years ago. It was further theorized that dinosaurs and man were two species who never interacted with one another because it is believed by scientist that they were separated by a space of over 65 millions years.
However, when it comes to the Bible, there appears to be a few major conflicts and some subtle inconsistencies with this historic narrative .
Many things we were told weren’t in the Bible, actually were….
We just didn’t understand what it meant.
Even though men claim there is no mention of dinosaurs in the Bible, these bias assumptions appear to be quite questionable. I will later explain my skepticism for the scientific explanation of biblical facts.
According to science, one way of retrieving a fossils age, or in presuming the timeline of a bone can be estimated according to how deeply it was found buried within the surface of the earth. The Triassic period (243- 201 million years ago) The Jurassic period (199.6 to 145.5 million years ago). The Cretaceous period, was a geological period that lasted from about 145 to 66 million years ago. But, honestly how can any of these timelines be substantiated, when there are no 66 million year old, carvings, books, or records of any kind to base any of these theoretical conclusions upon.
Chronology
The timing of many evolutionary and geological events on Earth have been determined through two complementary lines of evidence: relative dating and absolute (numerical or radiometric) dating. This evidence makes it clear that life is very old and it places a timescale on the pace of evolutionary change, diversification, and extinction.
But, the Bible explains the creation of the earth. The Bible explains creation of man, the Bible even explains the creation of the sun, moon and stars, yet, we continue to refute all explanations given from the ancient book of scriptures.
Oh, the science of it all!!
Science tells us, that by examining the evidence, measuring the decay rate, trapped atoms, and the depth by which fossils are found, paleontologists are able to determine the age of many ancient bones.
Radio metrics is a dating system used to date materials such as rocks and minerals. It is used to calculate the precise age of fossils through radiometric dating. This process measures isotope decay inside of a fossil or rock specimen to determine its exact age.
As shown in the diagram, fossils found in lower strata were deposited earlier and thus determined to be older than fossils found in higher strata. This principle is known as superposition. Sometimes this method doesn’t work because the layers were up-ended or overturned, or because older rock has been pushed up over younger rock, as can sometimes happen when great mountain belts are formed. In such cases, we can date the fossil-bearing layers relative to one another using other lines of evidence and reasoning. For example, in the vast majority of strata studied, rock layers containing ammonite fossils were found beneath rock layers containing dinosaur fossils.
Ammonite fossil
Why is that?
If ammonites and dinosaurs were both believed to have lived during the Jurassic and later during the Cretaceous period simultaneously and were both speculated to have become extinct during this same period, over 65 million years ago, why is it, that one is buried beneath the other, causing it to appear older?
Scientist currently use different, capable techniques to date the timeline of ancient fossils but remember…..
These findings began only, 200 years ago, so not very long ago. Also, the tools in place used to determine information would not include biblical history. Most scientist, do not believe the events written in the Bible. According to science the Bible holds little to no verifiable evidence.
These many scientist, although labeled the best in their field, are using less than 200 years of investigative study, to solve ancient mysteries which they, themselves claim is over 200 million years old!
The Bible which Begins with the words, “In the beginning,” could be of some assistance.
Let’s start with the Flood and Noah’s Ark!
I know scientist don’t believe this account but, what if for the sake of argument, the story is true? We know that when deceased bodies are submerged in water for long periods of time, there is a high probability of severe damage due to hydrolysis. Hydrolysis, another scientific term, does not only happen in soft tissues but can also occur in skeletal material as well. Excessive water, (such as what would have transpired during the great biblical flood) would have cause sever damage to both human and animal bones and other tissue.
A massive flood, like the one described in Genesis would also cause the earth to soften beyond any point of normalcy, which would cause many cadavers, especially massive ones, to sink far deeper within the earth’s soil then they would during natural or normal weather patterns and yearly cycles. According to the Bible, the great flood covered the entire earth and was so immense, that every mountain was covered. (It literally took 150 days, 6 months, for the water to begin to recede!)
Stay With Me a second,
Let’s continue to entertain, that the story of Noah, in Genesis, is a factual historical event. This would mean that our current estimations of a fossil’s age during this period, is flawed (inadequate). Systems such as measuring the decay rate, or the trapped atoms found in an around the ancient fossils during this time, even the measurements used to determine how deeply these particular bones were excavated from the earth’s crust, all come into question.
Returning to the history found in the Bible!
Genesis; The Beginning!
The Bible reveals that the rains that created the Flood continued for 40 days and 40 nights (Genesis 7:17), and that the waters prevailed on the earth for 150 days (Genesis 7:24), and after 150 days, the waters gradually receded from the earth so that by the seventh month and the seventeenth day, Noah’s Ark came to rest upon the mountains of Ararat, (We can logically deduce that the ground would have been much too wet and unstable to walk upon at this time.) The Bible confirms in Genesis 8:4 a year plus two months and twenty-seven days later, (once the earth was finally dry and sturdy enough), Noah, his family, and the animal cargo begin to disembark from the giant ship.(Genesis 8:14).
From the book of Genesis we learned that evil mutant giants were created by fallen angels and that they were destroyed in the flood. We also know that these humanoid half-breeds were the size of buildings and that they were eating people, and drinking the blood, like vampires!
So, scientifically, where exactly did the dinosaurs come from? Can science even explain this?
The Bible can?
The Bible did attempted to explain this in Genesis, but we weren’t paying attention.
There are two questions to be answered here…
Where did dinosaurs come from? And, why are they completely extinct today?
Genesis Chapter 6:1-3 When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God (stars, which we also refer to as angels) saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married all they chose. 3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.”
contend – to fight, labor, or wrestle with.
GOD became aware of these monstrous demons, and decided that these creatures along with the men of this timeline had become so wicked and insolent in thought and deed, that HE (GOD) commanded all living things be destroyed within one hundred and twenty years, which is about the time it took Noah, and his sons to complete the construction of the ark.
GOD also reveals that He would destroy many animal species in the flood, but those that HE deemed acceptable would survive.
Did you ever wonder why?
Upon further study, the Bible explains, that a contaminant was introduced upon the earth by watcher angels, one which created unconscionable things; Nephilim, a species many people couldn’t even imagine in their worst nightmare. This abomination (created through angels copulating with human females) caused unbelievable chaos, blood shed, and large-scaled supernatural events. This was a wickedness which spread throughout the earth. These humanoids giants would measure in height up to two miles tall, and stronger than any animal.
Giant Size Demons!
And as for the giant lizard monsters, we call dinosaurs today, the book of Enoch say’s, in 8:8 “And they have gone into the daughters of men upon the earth, and have slept with the women, and have defiled themselves, and revealed to them all kinds of sins. And the women have borne giants, and the whole earth has thereby been filled with blood and unrighteousness.”
In Enoch 7:2 it is revealed that these creatures (Nephilim) measured “3,000 ells.” A measurement which could equal up to a quarter of a mile tall.
The Bible tells us in the book of Genesis, chapter 6 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. This reveals that these creatures were so remarkable in size and strength, that they were famous like celebrities’ during these times. Their fame even lingers with us today as people find their bones and regurgitate legends, stories and mythologies about them.
Question?
Do you think it is possible that a 1,320 foot humanoid male could mate with a normal sized human female and create offspring?
The book of Enoch say’s, that they (the Nephilim) began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish.
Now, what exactly could that mean?
Neither the Bible nor the Book of Enoch explains how men of this massive size, mated with human females, so, unfortunately, we are left to deduce that many of them engaged in the worse, most degenerative behavior, beastiality. (Although at this time, this can neither be confirmed nor denied.)
So, Genesis as well as the Book of Enoch, paints a very graphic narrative.
Evil mutant giants were created by fallen angels. They were monstrous demons who commanded the earth.
We also know that these humanoid half-breeds, some the size of skyscrapers, were eating people, and drinking their blood!
And now, we must question if there is a very sizable chance, they may have engaged in beastiality?
Currently, we know that cross breeding, let’s say, a dog with a cat, or an elephant with a giraffe, cannot physically create offspring. It appears GOD made sure to remedy that. Cross breeding, so far is not possible no matter how diligently man attempts to override GOD’s system of balance. However, angels would not be included in this genetic safeguard, since they were not created to procreate. We could also assume, (and I know this is a lot of presumption on my part) that maybe Nephilim were absent of these genetic safeguards as well?
Some scholars derive the term from the Hebrew root n-p-l (“to fall”), leading to interpretations such as “fallen ones” or “those who cause others to fall,”
Enoch records in chapter (7) 2. And they became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells: 3. Who consumed all the acquisitions of men. (Meaning they were taking and consuming all the human resources.) And when men could no longer sustain them, 4. the giants turned against them and devoured mankind. 5. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another’s flesh, and drink the blood.
6. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones.
So, let us just reflect on this scripture for a moment. Here Enoch is telling us that these demons had become so violent and so horrifying, that the earth itself, laid accusation against these lawless ones.
How did the Nephilim sin against birds, beast, reptiles and fish?
If these Nephilim began mating with other species such as giant birds, whales, alligators, or rhinos, what horrific species would be the result of this unspeakable abomination? These things would probably be far superior in strength and power, and some may have even exhibited supernatural abilities.
If this was the case, then much of what science have claimed is wrong!
This account in Genesis and the Book of Enoch tells us…
1) Dinosaurs were not as far back as previously believed, and..
2) The dinosaurs or whatever these things were, arguably did co-exist with man.
The Earth made accusation against the lawless ones!
Enoch chapter 9:1. And then Michael, Uriel, Raphael, and Gabriel looked down from heaven and saw much blood being shed upon the earth, and all lawlessness being wrought upon the earth. 2. And they said one to another: ‘The earth inhabitants cry with the voices of their crying reaching up to the gates of heaven. 3 And now to you, the holy ones of heaven, the souls of men make their suit, saying, “Bring our cause before the Most High.”
4. And they said to the Lord of the ages: ‘Lord of lords, God of gods, King of kings, (and God of the ages) the throne of Thy glory (standeth) unto all the generations of the ages, and Thy NAME holy and glorious and blessed unto all the ages! 5. Thou hast made all things, and power over all things hast Thou: and all things are naked and open in Thy sight, and Thou seest all things, and nothing can hide itself from Thee. 6. Thou seest what Azâzêl (high ranking general) hath done, who hath taught all unrighteousness on earth and revealed the eternal secrets (of war) which were (preserved) in heaven, which men were striving to learn:
7. And Semjâzâ (their leader), to whom Thou hast given authority to bear rule over his associates. 8. And they have gone to the daughters of men upon the earth, and have slept with the women, and have defiled themselves, and revealed to them all kinds of sins. 9. And the women have borne giants, and the whole earth has thereby been filled with blood and unrighteousness.
Authors note: Their appears to be an underline reason why many current books and movies continue to combine witches, demons and rebellious angels together as a group. In the Book of Enoch we learn not only did they wreak havoc through their sexual escapades, but they were also responsible for devolving women, namely their wives, from human into sirens, or demonic witches, teaching them spells, potions and magic.
The Book of Enoch chapter 7 1-2 And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them charms and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants.
The Book of Enoch also explains the existence of demons.
Enoch 15; The Curse Of The Fallen
4) And though ye were holy, spiritual, living the eternal life, you have defiled yourselves with the blood of women, and have begotten (children) with the blood of flesh, and, as the children of men, have lusted after flesh and blood as those ⌈also⌉ do who die and perish. 5) Therefore have I given them wives also that they might impregnate them, and beget children by them, that thus nothing might be wanting to them on earth. 6) But you were ⌈formerly⌉ spiritual, living the eternal life, and immortal for all generations of the world. 7) And therefore I have not appointed wives for you; for as for the spiritual ones of the heaven, in heaven is their dwelling.
The Origin Of Demons
8) And now, the giants, who are produced from the spirits and flesh, shall be called evil spirits (demons) upon the earth, and on the earth shall be their dwelling.
Did you know: According to scientist, some dinosaurs had feathers. And not just avian dinosaurs (birds). Theoretically, the largest known feathered dinosaur, was the Yutryannus Huali, a super predator and cousin of T-Rex, who scientist say, probably relied on these feathers to keep warm.
Yutryannus Huali
Scientists believe that modern birds evolved from a group of dinosaurs called Theropods. This is the family that includes Tyrannosaurus Rex and Velociraptors. Therapods are thought to have been completely covered in feathers.
So, where are they now? What Happened?
According to science, an asteroid impact was the main culprit which caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. And, in addition there were volcanic eruptions that caused large-scale climate changes. They say that all these major catastrophes together with gradual changes to the Earth’s climate is what drove the dinosaurs into extinction over 60 million years ago.
However, according to Genesis chapter 7:17-24 For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and as the waters increased they lifted the ark high above the earth. 18 The waters rose and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water. 19 They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered. 20 The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than fifteen cubits (22 feet). Here, Moses is telling us that the rains literally covered the mountains by 22 feet.
Did you know: It is believed that though some fish survived the flood, a majority of them perished? This is because a vast majority of fossils found were marine life, many creationist believe over 95% of sea creatures died in the flood. Some estimate that these fish and sea creatures would have died due to factors such as sudden changes in water habitat conditions, overpowering turbulence, and massive flows of sediment.
The Bible also tells us that, 21 Every living thing that moved on land perished—birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind. 22 Everything on dry land that had the breath of life in its nostrils died. 23 Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; people and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds were wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark.24 The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days.
According to this Biblical narrative all life, with the exception of Noah, his family and a few other GOD approved lifeforms, were completely destroyed. The only creatures to survive this event were those directly approved by GOD HIMSELF! So, according to the Bible, the birds today could not be an extant species of dinosaurs. The book of Genesis confirms, that these ancient creatures from the past were all destroyed in the flood.
Genesis 8:13-19 (371 days later)
13 By the first day of the first month of Noah’s six hundred and first year, the water had dried up from the earth. Noah then removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry. 14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was completely dry.
15 Then God said to Noah, 16 “Come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives. 17 Bring out every kind of living creature that is with you—the birds, the animals, and all the creatures that move along the ground—so they can multiply on the earth and be fruitful and increase in number on it.”
18 So Noah came out, together with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives. 19 All the animals and all the creatures that move along the ground and all the birds—everything that moves on land—came out of the ark, one kind after another.
So, are the scientist correct?
Maybe, to a point. We know there were massively large creatures in the past. But they were not separated from man by millions of years, since the Bible, tell’s us they were eating the men. We also know there was a major cataclysmic event which forced these ancient creatures into extinction. But, what took them out, was no meteor, and the creatures destroyed in this event, were much, more then terrible lizards!
