Did Humans and Dinosaurs Co-Exist?
o Genesis 1:1 – 2:3 – The most natural interpretation implies thisn Created on the same dayn Use of the Hebrew word for “day” when
used with numbers (sixth day) and expressions like “evening and morning” in the rest of the Old Testament
n Exodus 20:11; 31:17

Did Humans and Dinosaurs Co-Exist?
o Genesis 1:1 – 2:3 n Other interpretations try to harmonize
the passage with external scientific evidences concerning long ages.o Gap Theoryo Day/Age Theoryo Non-Consecutive Day Theory

Radioactive Dating of Fossils
o Carbon 14 Dating is not useful past about 30,000 years because of its relatively short half-life
o Completely fossilized samples cannot be dated by any radioactive methods
o Must date the igneous rock nearest the fossil using U/Pb or K/Ar Methods
