Giant Lizzard..is all the word Dinosaur means..and they have always been w/us..the Bohemeth in the book of Job which was created on the same day man was..contrary to popular belief.. was indeed, a Giant Lizzard..

you see..reptiles..never stop growing..and in the days before the flood..there were no predetors pining to eat a reptile..even to this day..not many animals hunt down the reptile for dinner..the climate was also different in those days..hence..the Giant Lizzards became the norm..when Noah took animals on the ark he didn't take the two biggest of each reptile he could find..he took the smallest..and after the flood dried up and the ark was emptied..the reptiles went about thier business..the climate had changed and now the reptiles didn't live as long but they still don't stop growing..there are many archhiological finds with pictures of dinosuars w/men riding dinosaurs painted on anicent pottery..back in WW2 a group of troops went deep into the conga in Africa and came out swearing they would never go back because there were dinosaurs in there, not as big as they once were..but big enough to scare the pants off those guys..there was a tribe they found that had some in thier swamp..caught one..ate it and it made everyone in the tribe sick, so now they leave them alone..so yes..in answer to your question..in a 1000 year period of living in a perfect world a reptile that never stops growing would become what the word Dinosaur means..a giant lizzard..

one last thing..the evilutional theory that puts the death of dinosaurs to the time before Genesus is heresy..know why?..because it puts death before sin..the Bible says that death came into the world through the sin of one man..I never thought of it that way..but after being taught the difference..I can see where the death of the dinosaurs happened when the flood of Noah happened..and the dino's didn't die at all..they are still here all around us..just look, with an open mind..and you'll find them..
