Ramadan: do you believe in dinosaurs?

Question

I personally believe that it's a conspiracy theory and there is no evidence that dinosaurs existed. I mean it's not mentioned in the quran, so it must be false, right? All those bones they claim they dig out of ground is false. Or maybe allah put them there to test our faith, see who believes in the kuffar or who believe in quran!

Answer 1

I'll go with conspiracy theory and ignore all contradictory evidence. It feels better.

Answer 2

Dinosaurs were created on day 6 along with all the other land animals, including Adam and Eve.



Noah took them on the Ark, and they populated across the world afterwards, along with the other animals.



Those that think the dinosaurs died out millions of years ago are perhaps unaware of the large amount of evidence indicating that they lived recently alongside man.



There are many written accounts and depictions of dinosaurs.

Remember that the word dinosaur was invented in 1841. Before that people used names like dragon.

People from all over the world have accounts of dinosaurs: the Chinese who have incorporated it into their lunar calendar, The Welsh who have the dragon in their flag; The account of the Saxon Beowolf; The native american thunderbird; and other stories from many other nations. The Romans even made mosaics of them. The temple of Angkor in Cambodia has a carving that is clearly a Stegosaur – presumably 800 years ago it was a familiar animal to them. http://creation.com/angkor-saw-a-stegosaur



The Bible (the book of Job) has graphic descriptions of two creatures (Leviathan and Behemoth) which do not exists today and are almost certainly what we would now call dinosaurs. The Behemoth had a tail like a cedar tree.



In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word תנין , tanniyn, appears some 15 times—some

modern English translations translate it as ‘monster’, ‘serpent’ or ‘jackal’, while in

the King James Bible the word ‘dragon’ is used. Tanniyn could refer, at least in some

contexts, to large reptiles/dinosaurs.



Furthermore, dinosaur fossils have even been found containing blood cells - hardly 65 million years old.

But check the evidence for yourself - don't by brainwashed by dogmatic evolutionists who don't want us to think for ourselves :)

Answer 3

what?!

there's PROOF that dinosaurs exist! BTW, did you know that right above every single human's butt there's a pile of hair stuck under your skin which has actually proved the evolution and the whole human-monkey thing? you can check that online if you want.

sure you can stop believing in science and start believing in only religion but is that really what quran asks you to do? Or does it persuade you to learn science?

Answer 4

the word "dinasaur" is not arabic.. so you wont find it in the Quran..

but Allah explains the creation of animals below



Allah has created every [living] creature from water. And of them are those that move on their bellies, and of them are those that walk on two legs, and of them are those that walk on four. Allah creates what He wills. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent. surah 24:45



just cause the term dinasaur isnt used doesnt mean they are not included in that verse.. its all inclusive of every single creature Allah created..

Answer 5

Dinosaurs is actually a conspiracy theory to take away iman of the believers.

Answer 6

Ignoring your clear overtone of sarcasm, it is well known in Islam that mankind wasn't the first to inhabit the Earth. The jinn-kind were placed on Earth long before we were -- who's to say that animals (i.e. dinosaurs) weren't?

Answer 7

No dear. The bones that have been excavated are real. What you need is an education about this. I am not trying to be mean...just real with you.

Answer 8

I believe in dinosaurs, as well as evolution, and yet I still believe in Allah. Science and religion *can* coexist. You don't need to shut out everything that contradicts your religion.

Answer 9

YES ! There is barney
