But how do Fundamental Baptists then deal with dinosaurs?
Easy, they're extinct. I'm not Baptist but I am puzzled as to why evoluiontists seem to think that creationists can't don't believe in dinosaurs. There are passages in the book of Job that describe creatures that could be dinosaurs. I know, the old radio carbon dating thing and all. I'm just making a statement.
There are a few hypthesiseseses.
One is the Gap theory. This is the idea that between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2, there was an old creation and was destroyed when Satan rebelled against God and this is when Satan fell to the earth. THis theory has been rejected by a lot of people only because they think it flies in the face of a six day creation, but in fact it allows for both a seven day initial creation and a six day recreation. It is supported by key words like the fact Adam and Eve were comissioned to replinish the earth, and not fill it. Another is the arguement that God makes things perfect, and Genesis 1:2 say it was without form and void.
Another is that they existed with man up until the flood. The idea is that before the flood, the earth was covered by a canopy of water and the environment was different and this is why people lived much longer. I don't fully accept this because it does not explain a lot of things like how the stars could be seen if they were obscured by a layer of water.
Another is that the age of Adam doesn't start until the day he sinned, because until then, he was an immortal being, without age. There is nothing that tells how long Adam and Eve were in the Garden before they sinned. It appears it happened on the eighth day only because after telling of the seventh day, God tells us immediately how Eve and Adam sinned. This would allow for whatever time is needed for the light from distant stars to arrive at earth millions of years later. This would also allow for time for dinosaurs to turn into oil. Adam and Eve were in the Garden with God and may have not been allowed out because of the dangers outside it.
These are three, and there could be more, but the point is, all support the truth that God formed the earth as is in six days.
