| Message | Very nice website.
I've been to Dinosaur Valley many times (it's less than a hundred miles away) and taken my grandkids there on a number of occasions. When one grandson was three, as I walked him along the river, explaining the tracks, I heard: "Dino, Dino, where are you? Where are you?" He was trying to call one out of the woods. Now that he's six, he tells me the dinosaurs are "stinct" and we won't see any.
I took him, his three year old sister, and twelve year old brother there this past weekend and the four of us spent three days looking at tracks and hiking the trails. It's a wonderful place.
Regarding the time periods mentioned in the Genesis creation account, the Hebrew word translated "day" carries much of the same connotations we use in English. It can mean 24 hours or an unspecific long period of time, such as "grandfather's day". That is also shown by the fact the same word used for "day" in each of the creative days is used in Genesis 2:4 to denote all the creative days as one "day". The indefinite nature of the Hebrew word can account for each creative time period being many thousands or millions of years in length. The timelines determined by science do not necessarily contradict the Bible, but only some people's interpretation of it. |
