Re: Creation, Evolution and the Bible
It is obvious to me that they were writing down exactly what they were communicated by God or his Angels. Based on these Biblical dates and time I sincerely believe God, whatever his image and calendar timeframe was, did create the Earth and everything in it, but he also created change and gave humans an analytical mind to improve, call it “evolution” if one must, the Earth and all that is in it. I call it Creation with built in change factors.
​
The only problem I see with your observations is that why, if God created the universe in a different way than Genesis states, why the genesis rigamarole. If God could take 13.7 billion years to "create" the universe, why couldn't he wait several thousand years, until "his image" was able to understand the universe, to have Genesis written in a way other than figurative. Does let there be light mean the Big Bang?

But that was my point entirely. There are many things from history that aren't deeply specific. That doesn't mean they aren't factual.
​
The point is that one must separate "the wheat from the shaft."
When there are questions about the validity of a historical story, then one must examine the evidence pro & con to the validity. It may not be possible to get a fully accurate account, but one can determine whether there is evidence as to such or not.

Re: Dinosaurs and man
It would take a vigorous imagination to see "dinosaurs" inthe scultures at the site you posted. Even if they did resemble dinos it would not mean that the sculptors ever saw one. Dinosaurs resemble lizards which would possibly existed with the sculptors. These sculptures in no way suggest that dinsaurs & humans existed at the same time.

Re: Dinosaurs and man
Looks more to me like a human with some ornate headdress on.
