text: how do christians explain the dinosaurs? and other animals that lived millions of years ago? god created them plan and simple.  the earth before the flood (which very major civilizations has a flood story and there is ecological evidence for a flood.)  had a much different atmosphere then we do now and this allowed animals to grow much larger then they do now.  so this can accommodate some fossils but still dinosaurs and humans coexisted.  and there is proof.  there is identifiable dinosaur footprints that were made with man's footprints next to and crossing the dinosaurs foot prints.  the same evidence scientist use to disprove god proves dinosaurs and man thought to be separated by 65 million years lived side by side.  and yes i have seen these fossils they are real but evolutionist doesn't  want the public to know about these footprints because it destroys  everything they believe in.  creation sings the wonderful glory of god
