Use science to your advantage.

The word "dinosaur" means "monstrous lizard" (Greek 'deinos' = monstrous + Greek 'sauros' = lizard)

Lizards are reptiles. Reptiles are cold-blooded. That means they depend solely on their environment. They can't regulate their body temperature and must depend on the heat from their environment for warmth. In cold weather, cold-blooded animals hibernate. Hibernation pretty much stops growth. In a warm environment, cold-blooded animals grow faster.

Before the flood, the environment was different. There was no rain. Even man lived longer lives. But after the flood, lifespans began to decrease. If the change in environment affected the lifespan of humans, warm-blooded creatures, then it also affected the lifespan of reptiles.

Another scientific point is that reptiles never stop growing. Now imagine the preflood world. Man lived hundreds of years, compared to the average of 70-90 years today. Reptiles were created just as humans were and if they naturally lived alongside humans, then they would have also lived as long. Imagine a reptile living 500+ years in ideal weather and remember the fact that reptiles never stop growing.

Noah would most likely have taken smaller reptiles on board the ark to save space. Immediately after the flood, these reptiles would have grown and lived fairly long lives, but as their offspring adapted to the environment, the lifespans would have decreased, along with their sizes. If any of the larger reptiles survived they also may have been killed by humans who saw them as a threat.

There's not much mention of the preflood world in the Bible, only that it was wicked. After the flood, there is mention of two beasts that could be dinosaurs, the Behemoth and Leviathan. As far as their demise, the leviathan were killed for food.

Psa 74:14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, [and] gavest him [to be] meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

And if any continued to grow large, as I previously stated, they most likely would have been killed because they were seen as a threat.

Does anyone ever get a type of discernment with music? When you hear a song, have no clue who it is, listen to the words, they don't seem bad at all but yet have this battle inside you knowing it is not good....a horrible feeling that just won't go away.

I have had that a few times and once it was with that Cobain guy.
I had no clue who he was, my kids didn't listen to him and I only listen to Christian music. My rule when they were young was they can listen to secular but not if it has bad stuff in it...like all full of cuss words, talking all about sex or devil stuff...My personal opinion so no need for debate

Her cousin came over once and had that Kurt cobain guy's music. They were playing it and the song they were playing had nothing bad in it. In fact, it was a pretty song, not that heavy metal stuff. But as I was cleaning, they had it up loud, I got the worse feeling inside me. As if something that was not of God was there and a battle was going on. I listen to the words of the song but found nothing wrong with it. I didn't want to tell them to turn it off since I had no reason too.
But, it got so strong I finally went in there and told them..." I am so sorry but something is wrong with that song...I can't even tell you why but I really feel like something is wrong and the Holy Spirit is making me feel something isn't right.
Her cousin's face went white, and said, This is Kurt Cobain. I said, "who is that?". She said he killed himself yesterday...then she said that she had heard that he was into satanism some how.
They didn't get upset with me at all that I told them to turn it off. After she told me I said..."Wow, must be why God didn't like it much"
She then broke the tape and threw it away...LOL I didn't have to say a word, it was as if they knew as well..
