The Jurassic Park/Jurassic World franchise is the last bastion of Darwinism in the media. Darwin even recanted his popularized “Theory of Evolution,” on His death bed, and yet it remains the dogma and chief belief of scientists today. Dinosaurs are at the heart of the war between Creationists and Evolutionists. So heated is the argument that many brothers and sisters in Christ have decided to believe dinosaurs are the invention of Darwinist Paleontologists. Many Bibles contain a note claiming the Behemoth is rhinoceros and the Leviathan a crocodile. The reason why some are content to deny dinosaurs is because they fear rightly the fusion of Christianity and Evolution into what has been a heretical bridge between Christian doctrine and Darwinist theory, particularly in regards to the six days of creation being eons or millions of years instead of a actual day. Such Christovolutionists claim this on the principle of “a day is a thousand years to God, and a thousand years a day.” (2 Peter 3:8-10). However, the use of the scripture in defense of the hybrid religion of Christianity and Evolution can be refuted by the same verse since a thousand years can be but a day to God, so then a thousand years to God could be as one day in the time continuum; because God lives in eternity.
I must establish upfront that I repudiate and deny Christian Evolution as I deny Christian Witchcraft. Neither are Biblical and are a toxic mixture that only Satan could invent. However, unlike some of my Christian contemporaries I do not absribe to the conspiracy theory that dinosaurs are a fabrication by enthused athiests and evolutionists. I rather claim that dinosaurs were created by God in the Second Day just as He created all the birds of the air, the fish of the sea, and everything that walks the earth (Genesis 1:20-27). I have my own theories on why they went extinct, developed from Biblical and Extra-Biblical sources. Dinosaurs were once a testimony to the Lord’s might and majesty. Thus I shall endeavor to make the case for dinosaurs while making the case against Dawin’s Error.
Unlike anything on earth, dinosaurs captivate the imaginations of children of every race, creed, and continent. The only competition that can pry a child’s eye away from a Longmeck (Aparosaurus, formerly Brachiasaurus and Brontosaurus) is the cousin of the dinosaurs, the fire breathing Leviathan known in Anglo tongues as the fire drake or dragon (see Job 41, Isaiah 2:1 ESV, Psalm 74:14). Dinosaurs hold a special place in our hearts because in the tree trunk sized legs and mouthful of teeth is contained our childhoods. When antidinosaurites wage war against these creatures children adore, they will find not only a legion of angry kids but adults who want to protect their own child memories. Thankfully, I come not to place a no T-Rexing sign or dinosaurs are fables; on the contrary dinosaurs existed and the Bible confirms their existence, “5 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
19 He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.
20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
22 The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
24 He taketh.”(Job 40:15-24). No offense to my Christian brothers who say dinosaurs aren’t real, but a rhino does not have a tail the length of the cedars of lebennon nor is a rhino able to drink up a river. There is no other explanation than this, Behemoth is a Brontosaurus.
Dinosaurs were made by the Divine Trinity. They like the animals who still exist, roamed the earth. They did not roam alone. Man walked with dinosaurs, Adam all the way to Job saw these creatures, eve King David did battle with the dinosauric cousin, Leviathan (Psalm 74:14,Job 41). There were no cave men, there were intelligent God fearing men and women living side by side with these titans. In fact, earlier Paleontologists who were yet into corrupted by Darwin, found fossils with human foot prints beside dinosaur footprints. Michael Critchon’s vision of dinosaurs and humans meeting via bioengineering isn’t flawed only in application and theory but in the idea that man and dinosaur had never met when in truth Jurassic Park is a reunion gone bad (I blame frog D. N.A, it makes jumpers out of raptors and many frogs are poisonous making the dinosaurs blood boil with rage lol).
Why did God destroy the dinosaurs? This is perhaps the first question asked if you can convince people God created the dinosaurs. For those asking this question there is the supposition that God is cruel and like Bonya in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, wants to destroy our childhood. The truth is God did not (intend) destroy the dinosaurs, our ancestors and we did. When Adam and Eve sinned the whole planet was changed from a perfect paradise that had unlimited good weather, crops, and nutrients for both man, animal and dinosaurs (see Genesis 2 and 3). When Adam and Eve chose rebellion and to “play god” by believing the devil they subjected the planet and all living things to futility and destruction, “For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope. hat the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.“(Romans 8:20-21). As a result the Ozone broke open, recorded by Noah who built an Ark to save His family for the Lord. It had never rained, and when the ozone opened weather patterns arrived from precipitation to snow and so the ultimate storehouses depleted, the earth was flooded and any dinosaurs not killed in The Great Flood were exhausted by the fact that post-Flood nutrients were no longer plentiful enough to sustain even man in vegetables and fruits and so meat was added to the diet to get the proper proteins needed for carbon life to survive, “Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything.”(Genesis 9:3). Any dinosaurs that survived had to be patient for the destroyed forests to repopulate, and content with the once melon eater Tyrannosaurus Rex baying for Brontosaurus blood as we do for s steak or beef. Then these tender giants were stricken with another disaster, the Ice Age, where arctic and frigid weather engulf swaths of earth with ice killing many of these noble creatures. Between climate change recorded and supported by the Bible, the Flood, and the lack of sustinance to sustain these towering skyscraper sized creatures; the odds were against the dinosaurs. Worse many became a liability for man, as David had to fight the Leviathan (Psalm 74:14) and thus hunters, maybe even Esau himself became dinosaur slayers. As for the asteroid theory, there is no evidence bibilically. What is certain is that unlike the other animals who adapted to fallen earth as man did, the dinosaurs couldn’t cope. Just as many species, even the Tiger and Bald eagle are on the verge of exstinction because of man’s excessive ambitions, so the dinosaurs were destroyed by man’s original sin. Perhaps that is what creates a bond with us and these exstinct behemoths, the idea that we are guilty of their annhilation remaining in our souls and this then developing into admiration we all hold in are hearts as children; saying may we never forget those creatures Adam and Abraham and David walked with, those beasts who died because of our rebellion in the Garden of Eden.
Dinosaurs died out I believe for three reasons. The first I explained at length, that they could not cope with a Flood, Ice Age, and the Fall. The second reason is that in the primsum of the Fall I believe the Lord allowed them to perish to save the other animals and humanity. If Brachiasaurus or Tyrannosaurus was roaming the earth in droves and packs, our resources and those of the other animals would be depleted. Already in the 21 Century and even as far back as the Middle Ages and Ancient Biblical Times, man is unable to sustain food houses. Famine, castrophie, and the amount of mouths to feed are becoming numerous to the point that we might starve if we don’t start becoming shrewd and responsible. Imagine if Ethiopia which is in famine had to contend with dinosaurs eating all their trees and crops or worse cattle and children! We in America would have to have dinosaur insurance because of T-Rex smashing into our homes and trying to eat us! We would live in fear of starvation, being eaten, and damages. Imagine driving on a highway while avoiding potholes made by Brontosaurus or tring to grill when a Gigantosaurus shows up. Camping you would have to worry about more than skunks and racoons, there would be stampeding Stythpmimius and wrapper devouring raptors (Velocitaptors). It would not be a petting Zoo or larger Preserve where we could enjoy these creatures from safety, if the Jurassic films have taught us anything, Dinos don’t like cages, fences, or suburbs. No, it is evident that dinosaurs would have been a liability to life on earth, making animals go exstinct to sustain their need for protein, and even depleting our crops and even our own lives to stay alive.
The third and final reasons dinosaurs had to die is mercy. As aforementioned when Adam sinned all life on earth was subjected to futility and suffering (). Had dinosaurs lived they would not have only possibly made us go exstinct directly as in hunting us or indirectly as in eating our crops and cattle tell there was nothing left (like locusts), they would have suffered too. Like the traumatic scene Trevorrow had of the Brachiasaurus dying in front of Owen and Claire in Jurassic World, these behemoths would have suffered from starvation, and thirst, lying down like an elephant mommy and her baby in the sand breathing laboriously as they accept their fate and die beneath the scorching wasteland. The dinosaurs went exstinct to save us and the planet, the Lord God took them home to paradise in heaven so that we may survive and salvation of the eternal may happen, that God would become a Man and die on the cross to redeem creation, mainly us His children, but also one day the rest of creation (Romans 8:20). The Dinosaurs has to die off so that death could be defeated by God (Hebrews 2:9), and one day they too will expeiriance a return to earth with all the animals (Isaiah 11:1-23). I am not saying dinosaurs were Demi-saviors or gods, I am saying their exstinction was part of the plan to create a sustainable fallen world after Noah that the Son of God cams to save. The Lord seeing that man’s sin destroyed the paradise of endless trees and fruit that fed the Dinos and would have sustained them, decided to save mankind by letting the Tyrant Lizards go exstinct. This was a mercy so that we may to this day have food, but more so that we got eternal life through Jesus Christ’s first coming and sacrifice on the cross. God sacrificed the dinos with The Flood and Ice Age so we may survive, but make no mistake we are the guilty party, we killed the dinosaurs with the bite of the Forbidden Fruit in the Garden. God had intended the dinosaurs to live with us 🦖 🦕. But Satan, that fallen angel who waged war in heaven falling to eden and earth (Revelation 12:7-11) tricked our ancestors into eating the fruit of the Forbidden Tree of the Knoweledge of Good and Evil (Genesis 3). Therefor the real murderer of the dinosaurs is the devil because he led our ancestors to make the bad choice which caused paradise lost which caused God to have to choose who to save, his children and those who bear His image (Genesis 1:27-28) or the behemoths we call dinosaurs. Before anyone should say he should have chosen the dinosaurs, I say you wouldn’t even be able to hold that view if God had done so, and thus you would never have loved dinosaurs because you foolishly believe they should have lived and mankind should have died. For those who say God should have saved both I argue that we would have ended up with the problem of not enough food to go around between dinos and man. If you say why didn’t God make more islands of food that was unlimited for dinos and place them there I argue as aforementioned that the dinos were subjected to futility and suffering, and if you say dinos should have been kept in heaven away from the fall, I urge that you could apply that to humans, but man sinned and tainted all creation with sin from the stars to stegosaurus and the result is death (Romans 8:20 and Genesis 3). God who is holy, good, and perfect could not bring man or dinos or animals into his presence when they are tainted with sin. So for us Christ came and died to give us a new body and eternal life, but we still bear the consequence of our ancestors of dying first before being made a new in the afterlife. You may say why didn’t Jesus die for dinosaurs and animals? To this I say because they aren’t guilty of choosing the sin, they were tainted as we were, but they had not committed the offense against the Almighty, so they do not carry Original Sin within but are effected by it without; externally in the sufferings and destructions caused by the fall of creation in Eden; because dinosaurs can’t make moral judgements. Dinosaurs and animals find peace when they die and pass into heaven where they await the New Earth (Isaiah, Revelation 21:1-4). Let me explain it like this, God The Trinity cannot sin and is holy, man was made in the image of God and was holy then he sinned and had to be restored to holiness by God in a body, Jesus. Angels are holyesque, but they fell too (Genesis 6:4-11, Revelation 12:4-12), and dinosaurs and animals fell not of their free will. Man chose to fall and rebel, Satan and the fallen angels which cannot be forgiven (2 Peter 2:24, Matthew 25:41, Revelation 20:10) fell of their free will, but dinos and animals did not make the choice because they aren’t beings who have free will and so they are exempt from direct guilt because they had no hand or desire to fall. So they were prescribed to die and then a day will come when they shall be returned to the new paradise with us saints and God The Trinity! Right now the dinos are enjoying heaven and waiting for paradise regained to rendezvous with us. Unlike Jurassic Park or Jurassic World, they won’t be chomping on us, we will be living together in harmony as Christ had intended it from the beginning.
Recapping, dinosaurs don’t get redeemed because they arn’t guilty of the choice of rebellion, but they did share the consequence of sin: pain, suffering, and death. The scale of God’s creation is divided into shares of responsibility and intelligence. God is infinite and omniscient, He has all wisdom and intelligence (Colossians 2:2-3) and He created everything, He created angels, humans, dinosaurs, animals, the universe, galaxies, stars, space, planets, earth, water, wind, fire and etc. Next in responsibility and intelligence tree is God’s crested children, man and woman who were given authority over the Earth, animals, and dinosaurs (); this means man is responsible for what happens to these charges (responsibilities). Next is angels which serve, obey, and caretake the heavens, and unseen realms like Mount Zapaoth (Ezekiel 28:7-11) and who act as both messengers, warriors, worshipers and stewards of God. Below both man and angels are animals and dinosaurs who were tasked with only taking care of thier offspring and obeying man’s authority and loving man as a dog loved its master. Of the three creations of God The Trinity, 1. Angels, 2. Man and Woman, and 3. Animals and Dinosaurs, only two of the three (2 of 3) had free will and intelligence to make a decision to obey or fall (make moral judgements). Satan and his angels were the first to choose fall and were caste down and cannot be forgiven because they want to be God (Isiah 14:11-14) and war against God and Man and Everything else God made, while Man and Woman were tricked by Satan and so weren’t fully aware (we confused by Satan, deceived) of what fall they were choosing, while the animals and dinosaurs made no choice at all weighed in earnest as the devil and his angels did or in deception as man and Woman did. So you see each group of God’s creation got a different judgement, the fallen angels are condemned forever because they chose to disobey and war against God freely and conceived this anarchy in their minds while Adam and Eve were tricked by the fallen devil and captain of the fallen angels and so God spares His children known as men and women because “forgive them for they no not what they do,” (Luke 23:34), plus man is God’s family and didn’t want to lose his family forever and mankind unlike the fallen angels didn’t resolve to war against God, but half of man loved God in falleness and repented of their sin, which is why God spared Noah and His family (Genesis 6:10-12) when He could have destroyed all of mankind with the Flood, Noah and His family loved God; and God who had planned before creation to save us, sent Himself, Jesus Christ, Son of God to save mankind from hell; hell takes all fallen sinners both human and angel alike who freely chose sin but man can unlike the angels escape sin by believing in Jesus; meanwhile animals and dinosaurs die and live in paradise until reunited with us in the New Earth where we will rule the Tyrannosaurus Rex in holiness and kindness and sinlessnsss. Jesus died for us because we “know not what we do,” and because He loved us (Romans 5, John 3:16). Jesus did not need to die for dinos who committed no sin but were consumed by its effects on earth, and Jesus cannot die for the fallen angels because unlike man, the fallen angels are not ignorant or deceived, they chose with glee to usurp and fight God; while man in contrast was tricked into opposing God in sin and so God offers to all humans to recognize their guilt and sin and repent of it and believe in Jesus Christ as Lord God, Son of God and Savior. The dinos and animals didn’t choose to sin Sith full knowledge like the fallen angels, and they weren’t deceived like man into choosing sin, they were simply subjected to sin anc its effects and so they neither fall into unforgivable as the fallen angels or forgivable as mankind. Satan is guilty of sin mankind is not, Satan conceived and invent original sin, we followed Satan into original sin in deception and so the fallen angels are guilty of a purebred anarchy towards God while we are guilty of an anarchy by listening to the devil and his lies; Satan was an architect of sin and anarchy while man chose it knowing he was disobeying God and because of a lie from the devil.
One then might ask, why then did God create the angels, including Lucifer and his angels who became evil of free will? God has made his creations at varying levels of Himself, in intelligence, love, morality, and responsibility. The devil and his angels along with the remains good angels that did not rebel have the capacity to love at a certain level. God is all loving and is love (1 John 4:8), the angels could love to a lesser extent and love of their station below God requires free will and so Satan and his angels chose self love and hatred of God. Man the next creation has the capacity to love with free will too and they were tricked into Satan’s self love, but unlike Satan they waver between either hating God as Satan does or still loving God and wanting reconciliation; Satan and His angels cannot be forgiven of their sins because they never want to stop hating God, while man can choose love God and accept His fee gift of salvation in Christ Jesus or join the devil and go to hell in the end. Dinosaurs and animals not hailing free will are constrained to a love that is limited and like puppy, that retains an aspect or piece of God’s love, but without free will dinos and animals have not the capacity to love God as a human can which will die for their love for Jesus; and animal is unable to do sacrificial love. Angels love by service, they are made for position; so while we are beings, angels are doers, and so they thrive in serving God, we thrive in loving God, and animals thrive in glorifying God.
God with each set of creation gives a capacity and with that comes free will and culpability: angels had free once will but work on orders and obedience or the reverse disobedience, man has free will but works on love and connection with God, and Dinos and Animals have no free will and work on instinct and existing to glorify God. On the spectrum man is closest to God in love, angels are closest to God in getting things done (obedience), and animals are closest to God’s simple joys and creativity manifested. Ergo we are God’s family, angels are God’s servants, and dinos and animals are God’s glory. The closer a creation is to the Creator, the more capacity it has to love God which goes man, angel, and beast. With love comes more free will and the result is you can love God or love yourself in prideful way.
Thus Satan is guilty because he invented sin and tempted man to participate.
Man is guilty for disobeying God and was deceived but he didn’t invent sin.
Dinos and animals aren’t guilty at all, they are subjected to sin’s power because of the choices of the other two creations.
Man can love God back the most and so has the choice of Salvation or Damnation; the good angels have chosen to never fall and will never do so, the bad angels and Satan chose to fall and will always choose to hate God and war against Him.
Animals don’t get a choice, by default cannot chose to fall, it is chosen for them. They don’t have free will nor can they morally make decisions and love God to the extent of his other two creations. The result is those beings who can love God to a closer level of His infinite love, and who have the morality and intellect closer to God are given free will at its level, for angels there was one choice period to fall or not; while all humans fell and can chose to rise through faith in Jesus Christ or stay fallen. The animals stay fallen, die, and then return without taint. But we don’t want to be the animals. The greater we humans can love God and we have greater intellect and creativity. God had made all of us for their own purposes: us humans to love and be loved, angels to serve and obey, and animals to glorify God and be the walking pieces of God’s handiwork with a shard of His love but not at its fullness as is in Him and is second fullness is in humans. With free will comes the greater capacity to love, be creative and intellectualize; but the flip side if you can also hate, be crazy, and be a fool: i.e. sin. “With great power comes great responsibility.”
Like the tragic scene in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (ironic title huh) when the Brachiosaurus is running towards the boat to get off Isla Nublar to escape the Volcano ash and lava, but is unable and is seen by Owen and Claire helpless to remain abandoned and to be consumed by the flames; the same happened to the real dinosaurs except the flames are sin and the architect of their destruction was the devil in Eden who told Adam and Eve to eat and thus make the dinosaurs extinct.
In case someone wants to argue why didn’t God just spare the dinos and everyone that sinned by acquitting them and saving paradise with the flick of his fingers, I say to you God would have been infringing on justice. The Lord is just and part of justice is that rebels be punished for rebellion; and part of justice is there are consequences for choices. But what if choices be removed and we like the dinosaurs couldn’t chose, then we could have lost free will and wouldn’t be able to love freely God or anything and secondly we would be inferior beings that wouldn’t even ask that question nor be able to take care of, love, and subdue all creation under God; we would be less than human and have not creativity without our choices and free will; and we would miss our chance to be with the dinosaurs in the New Earth.
God, we are His children and family called man and Woman, angels are God’s courtiers, minstrels and warriors, and animals and dinosaurs are our pets, and responsibilities to enrich our lives as we enjoy watching s hummingbird and pteranodon fly; the dinos and animals were made for our pleasure and joy and to take care of them and the earth. After our own children, the dinos and animals were are charge and to be our responsibility; we failed, but Christ is going to give us another chance in the New Earth. RAWR!
