re: Dinosaurs in Bible additions.
my question in post 4187, re-phrased was: What Other , late additions to the wt bibles (silver) for example, might turn out to be Dinosaurs.?
Dinosaur= Symbol for entities that go extinct, overwhelmed by forces they were not equipped to cope with.

Hmmm....so if dinosaurs were created by this almighty-god-person to prepare the world for humans....they are the reason we have fossil fuels, right? So this almighty-god-person meant for humans to have petroleum and screw up the atmosphere and pollute the earth. Ahh, it all makes sense now.

JW's sound as stupid as young earth creationists if they try to tackle the subject of dinosaurs. The best a JW can do is say that they must have been used by Jehovah to consume the excess vegetation He used to create the atmosphere and He allowed them to be extinct before Adam and Eve were placed in the garden.
Here's the simple creationist answer:

Ken Ham:
Are Dinosaurs a Mystery?
Many think that the existence of dinosaurs and their demise is shrouded in such mystery that we may never know the truth about where they came from, when they lived, and what happened to them. However, dinosaurs are only a mystery if you accept the evolutionary story of their history.
According to evolutionists: Dinosaurs first evolved around 235 million years ago, long before man evolved. No human being ever lived with dinosaurs. Their history is recorded in the fossil layers on earth, which were deposited over millions of years. They were so successful as a group of animals that they eventually ruled the earth. However, around 65 million years ago, something happened to change all of this—the dinosaurs disappeared. Most evolutionists believe some sort of cataclysmic event, such as an asteroid impact, killed them. But many evolutionists claim that some dinosaurs evolved into birds, and thus they are not extinct but are flying around us even today.
There is no mystery surrounding dinosaurs if you accept the Bible’s totally different account of dinosaur history.
There is no mystery surrounding dinosaurs if you accept the Bible’s totally different account of dinosaur history.
According to the Bible: Dinosaurs first existed around 6,000 years ago. God made the dinosaurs, along with the other land animals, on Day 6 of the Creation Week ( Genesis 1:20–25, (31) ). Adam and Eve were also made on Day 6—so dinosaurs lived at the same time as people, not separated by eons of time.
Dinosaurs could not have died out before people appeared because dinosaurs had not previously existed; and death, bloodshed, disease, and suffering are a resultof Adam’s sin ( Genesis 1:29–30 ; Romans 5:12, (14) ; 1 Corinthians 15:21–22 ).
Representatives of all the kinds of air-breathing land animals, including the dinosaur kinds, went aboard Noah’s Ark. All those left outside the Ark died in the cataclysmic circumstances of the Flood, and many of their remains became fossils.
After the Flood, around 4,300 years ago, the remnant of the land animals, including dinosaurs, came off the Ark and lived in the present world, along with people. Because of sin, the judgments of the Curse and the Flood have greatly changed earth. Post-Flood climatic change, lack of food, disease, and man’s activities caused many types of animals to become extinct. The dinosaurs, like many other creatures, died out. Why the big mystery about dinosaurs?

The bible did cover it.
You just dont accept it.
Before the flood their was a canopy covering the earth and
things grew big.
Now after the flood things grow small.
There is archelogical evidence filled away in the back of museums.
They don't put it out because it doesnt jibe with evolution.
Apparently someone has an agenda and is trying to shape society.

Wow, that cartoon has me speechless. You can't even joke about something like that, it's too self-parodying.
James Brown: Praytell how do you know what's hidden in the back of museums?

new hope and happiness - "Dinosaurs... why didn't the bible cover it?"
Easy.
The guys who wrote the Bible never saw any, 'cause they were extinct.

Back when I was still in, I actually used this to reconcile clear fossil evidence of predation amongst dinos (and other prehistorics) with the Genesis statements about all life being vegetarian prior to the Flood.
Even back then, I was capable of some rational thought.

reading and looking on the internet.
Archeologest Johnathan Gray says so.
I do not necessarily believe or disbelieve him. But he has muddied the waters and cast a reasonable
doubt.
Johnathan Gray might not be the most reliabel arcehologist.
But the government is not the most honest or believeable either.
And the smithsonian is run by the government.
As are probaly most of the museums in the Usa.
Here is some more infromation about the smithsonian hiding evidence
I don't hardly care one way or another.
I just have a lot of time on my hands.
Another reseracher who looks at it from a differnet view not a young earther is michael cremo.
