In a previous question, (please refer to the archive question: What was here beforeAdam?) we showed from the scriptures that God did not create the earth in confusion or in chaos. (Isaiah 45:18) God is not the author of confusion. (1 Corinthians 14:33)Genesis 1:2 says the earth became without form and void. We believe this camebecause of the fall of Lucifer.

From Ezekiel chapter 28 and from Isaiah chapter 14, we are told Lucifer ruled over theearth and over Eden, the garden of God. When Lucifer fell, some type of destructioncame. But Genesis 1:1-3 indicates God spoke to the void, His Spirit moved and the earthas we know it was created.

The Bible gives very little information, but it seems Lucifer ruled over beings prior to hisfall. The Bible gives us no indication of exactly what type of beings they were. The Biblesays Lucifer was corrupted by trade and merchandise (Ezekiel 28:16, 18). Apparently arace of beings existed that were involved in trade and commerce of some kind. Thedemons may have come from this race that existed before Adam because the Bibleindicates demons seek bodies to inhabit and they seem to be disembodied spirits. Itseems clear that demons are not fallen angels since the fallen angels are being held inchains in the Abyss. (2 Peter 2:4, Jude 1:6) Demons are alive and roaming the earth.

Dinosaurs probably existed during the time Lucifer ruled prior to his fall rather than after his fall. One common question is, Were dinosaurs on the Ark? If there had been thedinosaurs would have existed during the time period between Adam and Noah andwould have been destroyed in the flood. The problem with this scenario is according tothe dimensions of the Ark mentioned in the Bible, many of the dinosaurs would havebeen much too large! We have found fossils of dinosaurs that would not fit into the door of the Ark. Some of the larger dinosaurs would have taken up so much room none of theother animals would have fit!

Man has found dinosaur fossils 130 feet long and 60 feet tall! The Ark dimensions wereapproximately 450 ft. long, 75 ft wide and only 45 feet tall. Some of those dinosaurswould definitely have had to duck their heads to get into the door! I am sure God did nottell any creatures, So sorry Big Guy! Youre just too big. I guess youll just have to die inthe flood! The Bible says every clean and unclean animal type living at the time of Noahwas present in the Ark. (Genesis 7:2)

Some Christians teach dinosaurs are not real and the fossils man has discovered arefakes or even worse, God made them to test whether we believe Him or science. We

believe dinosaurs once lived on the face of the earth and their fossils are genuine. Thereis no need to try to explain away the dinosaurs and the age of the earth because theWord of God reveals that the earth predates Adam and Eve and the creation account(the time from Genesis 1:2 through chapter 2).

This period is not so much a record of original creation as it is reconstruction of creationafter the fall of Lucifer. We believe Genesis 1:1 is original creation and verse 2 andonward is the reconstruction of the earth. Between verse 1 and verse 2 was the reignand fall of Lucifer and we believe the time of the dinosaurs. God judged the earth with a

flood and the earth became without form and void. The Bible does not go into greatdetail about the time of Adam and Eve or what existed prior to Adam, so we can not beoverly dogmatic on these issues.

Sometimes there appears to be discrepancies between science and the Bible, but dontbe concerned because science is catching up to the Bible! Every day there are more andmore discoveries proving what the Bible says is true. Every science, from astronomy tozoology, is making discoveries supporting biblical truths and the fact that God is theCreator. There are many things we do not understand now, but we can believe in theOne Who does understand! One day He will answer every question. I look forward tothat day, dont you!
