Today’s Devotional – May 1st

.

DINOSAURS & NIMROD

.

“In The Beginning,

God Created the Heavens and Earth”

Genesis 1:1

.

So, just where did the dinosaurs come from?

.

Were they the product of evolution?

.

Were they the ancestors of modern-day reptiles?

.

And just where did they go?

.

Did they become extinct when a giant asteroid hit earth and completely wiped out all dinosaurs?

.

And if that asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs, why didn’t it wipe out all the other animals too?

ANIMALS GOING EXTINCT TODAY, TOO!

.

Well, let’s just use a little logic.

.

Just how do species become extinct today?

.

After all, there are species which have become extinct in modern times.

.

**And our government is designating more and more species as being “endangered species”!**

PALUXY RIVERBED DINOSAUR TRACKS

.

In Texas is an active river, the Paluxy River, in which dinosaur tracks line the riverbed.

.

But the big question is, why does an active river have dinosaur tracks?

.

After all, if these animals went extinct 65-80 million years ago, as we are told, then simple logic would determine that the Paluxy River would have been eradicated millions upon millions of years ago!

BIBLE SPEAKS OF “GIANTS” IN THOSE DAYS

.

No, this river is a testament to the Bible account, which says…

“There were giants in the earth in those days…“

.

But it doesn’t specify whether those giants were people or animals, or both.

.

It only says “giants”.

.

And after establishing that fact, that there were giants, it then speaks of giant people intermarrying with God’s people.

.

**And when it says, “in those days”, it is speaking about the days prior to the Great Flood of Noah’s day.**

.

NOAH’S ARK

.

So just what happened to them?

.

Did they get destroyed in the flood?

.

Did that great deluge completely wipe them out?

.

Or did they board the Ark, and sail to the other side of the flood?

.

Well, all the well-preserved fossils indicate that these titans were mostly buried in the various layers of settling mud and silt that resulted from the receding flood waters.

.

But skeptics scoff at that idea, laughingly saying that the Ark could never hold two of each kind of these great beasts!

.

But just look at these dinosaur eggs in the photo below! They are very small.

.

And Creation scientists remind us, that many baby dinosaurs were about the size of a dog.

.

So, Noah’s Ark could easily have held very young and very small dinosaurs.

COMMON SENSE LOGIC…

.

**And so, the question that remains, was God intelligent enough to know how to bring baby dinosaurs (and other species too) into the Ark?**

.

Obviously, God is infinite in wisdom and understanding!

NIMROD

.

But what happened to the various species of animals which went extinct AFTER the flood?

.

The Bible speaks in its usual concise manner concerning this…

.

Listen… “And Nimrod…

began to be a mighty one in the earth.

He was a mighty hunter before the LORD:

wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.”

Genesis 10:8, 9

.

In this little passage is revealed what probably happened to many of the animals that then existed after the flood…

.

…mighty hunters, even as Nimrod.

.

SATAN AND HIS MASTER-PLAN

.

Now if Nimrod was an adulated individual, and there were many others like him, it’s not hard to deduce that Satan’s hand was not far from all this.

.

With an I.Q. and powers far beyond any mortal, makes it a very real possibility that Satan was the master-orchestrator of this entire business of “prehistoric dinosaurs” which lived millions of years ago.

.

JUST A PLAUSIBLE SCENARIO

.

And so, just a little simple biblical deduction allows us to surmise what possibly happened to the reptile species, living in those days.

.

But herein was presented a plausible scenario, based on the Bible, that makes a great deal of common sense.

TODAY’S PRAYER…

“Dear Lord, Give me enough understanding of what the Bible says concerning all these things, not only for my own peace of mind, but that I may direct others to the Bible, to answer their own doubts…
