Chappy,
All the animals were here before man but not millions of years before. Each day of preparing the earth for mans dwelling took 7,000 years.
On the fifth day Jehovah created the birds and fish and most likely the insects, along with the birds, to pollinate the plant life.
On the sixth day he created the land animals to eat and trim the plants and trees, the dinosaurs trimmed the high trees and other types of plants.
Counting the 7,000 years of the sixth day and the 6,000 years of Jehovah's rest day with the last 1,000 years yet to come. The dinosaur bones and remains cannot be older than 13,000 years.
Jehovah destroyed them at the flood. They pictured the large offspring of the fallen angels. The giant footprints of the fallen angels
offspring and the dinosaurs are found at different locations throughout the earth.
By destroying them Jehovah showed us that the giants did not belong on his cleansed earth. Ecclesiastes 3:15 reads, "That which is has been already, and that which will be has already been, for God seeks what has passed by." This may inticate the dinosaurs return in the new world, to continue doing what Jehovah designed them for in the first place. Helping to keep his footstool clean and neat for those living on his perfect earth.
Agape, Bruce
