No, dinosaurs (non-avian) and humans never lived at the same time; dinosaurs went extinct about 66 million years ago, while the first human ancestors appeared millions of years later, creating a massive time gap, though small mammals did live alongside dinosaurs, and modern birds are descendants of dinosaurs. Fictional portrayals often show them together, but scientifically, there's a huge gap of around 60-65 million years between the extinction of dinosaurs and the evolution of humans.
If the answer is that 1) the dinosaurs lived and died before Adam and Eve, then we are consistent with evolutionary theory at least in the sense that dinosaurs lived long before humans.
Pelycosaurs, like Dimetrodon, were early reptiles that thrived during the Permian period, before dinosaurs. Therapsids were mammal-like reptiles with powerful jaws that evolved during the early Permian period. Archosaurs were diverse reptiles that led to the first dinosaurs and still include crocodiles today.
Humans' ancestors survived asteroid impact that killed the dinosaurs. A Cretaceous origin for placental mammals, the group that includes humans, dogs and bats, has been revealed by in-depth analysis of the fossil record, showing they co-existed with dinosaurs for a short time before the dinosaurs went extinct.
This belief is based on the supposition that the Bible teaches in Genesis chapter 1 that the earth and the human race was created by God some 6000 years old and therefore the dinosaurs – a part of creation -- lived with Adam and Eve and their children.
Scripture does not mention the existence of dinosaurs—at least not as we now understand them—neither before nor after the Genesis Flood.
Birds have the closest DNA to dinosaurs, as they are direct descendants of theropod dinosaurs, making them living dinosaurs; chickens and ostriches, in particular, share strong genetic links with T. rex, confirmed through protein analysis and shared physical traits like scales and bone structure. While crocodilians (alligators, crocodiles) are also close relatives, birds are the most immediate living link to the dinosaur lineage.
I think one of the aspects that may play to their survival is that they are extremely tough and robust. We're learning now that the immune systems of crocodiles, for instance, are just incredible. They can sustain the most frightful injuries.
“Humans already evolved in ecosystems that had large land animals and predators. We probably would have done okay.” “Unarmed, solitary humans are still easy targets for large predators like bears and lions,” agrees Arbour. “But overall humans are pretty good at surviving alongside large, dangerous animals.”
Given enough warning, yes we could deflect it. As far as how much warning we would get is variable depending on if the asteroid approaches from the sunward side of earth's orbit or from the night side. But an asteroid that size would likely get detected years in advance.
“Dinosaurs are so old that there probably isn't any dinosaur DNA left on Earth,” Logan told Eye on Science. “Sure, if you were able to store DNA on the dark side of the moon, it could remain stable for millions of years. But on Earth, it cannot survive for long, even in permafrost.
Paleontologists don't know for certain, but perhaps a large body size protected them from most predators, helped to regulate internal body temperature, or let them reach new sources of food (some probably browsed treetops, as giraffes do today).
Some Christians think it isn't old enough to have housed dinosaurs. Using family trees in the Bible, they trace the start of the world to between 6,000 and 12,000 years ago. They believe in a very 'young' earth. The issue here is that fossils suggest dinosaurs existed billions of years ago, making the earth much older.
Jehovah's Witnesses reject foods containing blood but have no other special dietary requirements. Some Jehovah's Witnesses may be vegetarian and others may abstain from alcohol, but this is a personal choice. Jehovah's Witnesses do not smoke or use other tobacco products.
According to the Bible, the dinosaurs came before Adam and Eve. [25] And God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creepeth upon the ground after its kind: and God saw that it was good.
The closest relatives of dinosaurs are birds Scientists now agree that birds alive today are living dinosaurs, directly descended from theropods (carnivorous dinosaurs that walked on two legs).
Zoologist Professor Tim Coulson suggests that octopuses, with their remarkable intelligence and adaptability, could potentially become Earth's dominant species if humans were to disappear.
Modern humans, Homo sapiens, first appeared in Africa around 200,000 to 300,000 years ago, evolving from earlier hominid ancestors over millions of years, with key traits like walking upright (bipedalism) emerging much earlier, over 4 million years ago, and the genus Homo (like Homo erectus) appearing about 2.5 million years ago.
"There is only one known species that has survived all five mass extinction events, and that is the horseshoe crab. These creatures have been around for over 450 million years and have survived mass extinctions that wiped out the dinosaurs and many other species."
Yes, some people have survived crocodile death rolls, though it's extremely rare, with famous survivors including Australian philosopher Val Plumwood (who survived multiple rolls) and others who fought back by targeting the eyes or nose or by rolling with the croc. Survival often involves immense luck, fighting spirit, and exploiting the crocodile's vulnerability in its powerful but short-burst attacks, but most people don't survive even one.
There's no single reason sharks survived all five major extinction events – all had different causes and different groups of sharks pulled through each one. One general theme, however, seems to be the survival of deep-water species and the dietary generalist.
Some geneticists also estimate that every person on planet Earth is at least a fiftieth cousin to everyone else. Family researchers may not see pedigree collapse for several generations, but inevitably it will pop up as you climb the family tree.
In 2007, Nicolas Cage paid $276,000 at a Beverly Hills auction for a rare Tyrannosaurus bataar skull, outbidding Leonardo DiCaprio. The skull was later found to be illegally smuggled from Mongolia, where it's protected by strict cultural heritage laws.
The woolly mammoth is the animal most prominently linked to a 2027 return, with biotechnology firm Colossal Biosciences aiming to have a cold-resistant elephant hybrid with mammoth traits walking the Earth by then, using gene-editing to help restore Arctic ecosystems. While not a true resurrection, this project aims to create a functional woolly mammoth-like creature, with other efforts also underway to de-extinct animals like the Tasmanian tiger (thylacine) and dodo.
