from Jesus:
At the time of Noah, the
dinosaurs had long been extinct. If not, Noah would have brought some
on the Ark.
You must understand that the timeline given in the Bible is not meant
to be taken literally. In fact, as I explained elsewhere,
many of the things in the Bible are not meant to be interpreted literally.
It is, therefore, sad that many people have become attached to a literal
interpretation of the scriptures. This was never the intention of God
or the Ascended Host.
As I explained elsewhere,
there is a progression in the religious life of this planet. Genesis
was given to people who were trapped in a very low state of consciousness
compared to the state of consciousness that most people have today.
Therefore, it was given in a language and explained through ideas and
metaphors that these people could understand.
The teaching that God created the world in seven days was never meant
to be interpreted as seven 24-hour periods. It should be interpreted
as seven spiritual cycles or ages, and each of these ages lasted millions
of years.
Therefore, for a person who is willing to free his mind from this need,
this beast, of wanting to interpret the Bible literally, there is no
conflict between the biblical account of creation and the age of the
Earth as calculated by scientists. The scientific account of the existence
of dinosaurs and the timeframe in which they emerged and became extinct
is relatively accurate.
However, scientists will gradually develop more accurate methods for
determining the age of fossils, and some of these will demonstrate that
the current method of carbon dating is not as accurate as scientists
believe. Nevertheless, scientists have developed a fairly accurate timeframe
for the evolution of the Earth, and according to that timeframe dinosaurs
disappeared millions of years before the time of Noah.
By the way, the flood did not occur as recently as most Christians believe.
The biblical account of the flood has its origin in a much older event.
