Q. Dinosaurs: How can we perfectly explain the existence of Dinosaurs with Bible?
From genealogy, people expect the human history is about 6000 years to 10000 years+ (which is about 4000+ years BC, depending on how they interpret the bible.
However, the the archaeology obviously told us the dinosaurs exists in million in years ago? So, when the world was really created? 6000 years ago? million of years ago? Q：恐龍：如何用聖經完美地解釋恐龍的存在？從家譜來看，人們預期人類歷史大約有6000年到10000年以上（大約是公元前4000多年，這取決於他們如何解釋聖經。然而，考古學明明告訴我們恐龍在億萬年前就已經存在了？ 那麼，世界是什麼時候真正被創造出來的呢？ 6000年前？ 百萬年前？
A. Dinosaurs existed, but became extinct. There were other animals that became extinct as well. No modern man has seen a dinosaur, so their talk about dinosaurs existed millions of years ago is purely conjecture. Sure they claim they use carbon dating, but this technique is not infallible. I believe dinosaurs was mentioned in the bible: the “behemoth" mentioned in Job 40:15-19 is very likely referring to dinosaurs which existed in old testament biblical times. 恐龍曾經存在過，但後來滅絕了。 還有其他動物也滅絕了。 現代人沒有見過恐龍，所以他們關於恐龍存在於數百萬年前的說法純粹是猜測。 當然，他們聲稱他們使用碳測年法，但這種技術並非絕對可靠。 我相信聖經中提到恐龍：約伯記40:15-19中提到的「龐然大物」很可能是指舊約聖經時代存在的恐龍。
I believe God created the world and everything in it including humans, as recorded in Genesis 1 and 2. According to the biblical genealogy indeed the world seems to have been created no more than 6000-10,000 years ago. Could God create something that has 2 millions years of aging in it from day 1? It is very possible, just as Adam was not created as a sperm, but a fully grown human being. I choose to believe what God says in the bible, than what Darwin and others told me that we evolved from nothing million of years ago. So far I have not seen anything that evolved from nothing, or things get better and stronger. The second law of thermodynamics says “everything gradually moves towards entropy (disorder, randomness, dissipation) “. No one can show me one thing that evolves to become better and better. I found the reverse to be more true — you and I are physically regressing rather than progressing every single day. 我相信上帝創造了世界和其中的一切，包括人類，正如創世記第一章和第二章所記載的那樣。根據聖經家譜，世界似乎是在不超過6000-10,000年前被創造的。 上帝能否創造出從第一天起就經歷了 200 萬年老化的東西？ 這是很有可能的，就像亞當不是被創造為精子一樣，而是一個完全成熟的人。 我選擇相信上帝在聖經中所說的話，而不是達爾文和其他人告訴我的–我們是在數百萬年前從無到有進化而來的。 到目前為止，我還沒有看到任何事情是從無到有的演變，或者事情變得更好更強。 熱力學第二定律說「一切都逐漸走向熵（無序、隨機、耗散）」。 沒有人能夠向我展示一件東西會進化得越來越好。 我發現相反的情況更為真實——你和我每天都在身體上倒退而不是進步。
Q. Who would be the “people" that may kill Cain (outside the garden of Eden)?
Genesis4:15 耶和華對他說、凡殺該隱的必遭報七倍。耶和華就給該隱立一個記號、免得人遇見他就殺他。問：誰是可能殺死該隱（伊甸園外）的「人」？
A. All human beings came from Adam and Eve so in early times they were all brothers, sisters, nephews and nieces (Gen 4:17-23). They intermarry, as incest was not forbidden then. Cain was fearful that others in the extended family may want to seek revenge for Abel. Remember after men sin men’s nature deteroriated very rapidly — The book of Genesis contained most of today’s major sins like murder, incest, homosexuality, etc. Adam and Eve’s descendants were not one big happy family. Read Gen 4:23 “拉麥對他兩個妻子說：亞大、洗拉，聽我的聲音；拉麥的妻子，細聽我的話語：壯年人傷我，我把他殺了；少年人損我，我把他害了" 所有人類都來自亞當和夏娃，所以在早期他們都是兄弟、姊妹、姪子和姪女（創 4:17-23）。 他們通婚，因為當時亂倫還沒有被禁止。 該隱擔心大家庭中的其他人可能想為亞伯報仇。 請記住，在人犯罪後，人性迅速惡化──《創世記》包含了當今大部分的主要罪惡，如謀殺、亂倫、同性戀等。亞當和夏娃的後裔並不是一個幸福的大家庭。 讀創 4:23 拉麥對他兩個妻子說：亞大、洗拉，聽我的聲音；拉麥的妻子，細聽我的話：壯年人傷我，我把他殺了；少年人損我，我害了”
Q. who will be the wife of Cain (outside the garden of Eden)? 誰會成為該隱（伊甸園外）的妻子？
A. They intermarry, as marriage between close relatives was not forbidden then. Modern societies discourage or prohibit inbreeding between close relatives to avoid genetic disorders and other problems in offspring. Such genetic disorders might not exist in early human history. 他們通婚，因為當時不禁止近親結婚。 現代社會不鼓勵或禁止近親之間的近親繁殖，以避免後代出現遺傳性疾病和其他問題。 這種遺傳疾病在人類早期歷史中可能不存在。
Q. There were some humans found by archaeology the was way before 10000+ years. (e.g. Neanderthal cave man vs Modren Human, Mitochondrial Eve 問：考古學發現了一些距今一萬多年前的人類。（例如尼安德特穴居人與現代人類、粒線體夏娃
A. If humans (and humans in evolutionary stages) had existed for millions of years then there ought to be bones of these evolutionary humans all over the world. We could hardly find any. Where did they go? I have never seen a display of actual bones demonstrating the different stages of evolution. 如果人類（以及處於進化階段的人類）已經存在了數百萬年，那麼世界各地都應該有這些進化人類的骨頭。 我們幾乎找不到任何東西。 他們去哪了？ 我從未見過展示真實的骨骼來展示進化的不同階段。
Q. Regarding big bang theory, Einstein’s Relativism, Stephen Hawking’s denial of God’s creation, etc., there are so many people with different thoughts, may I know what’s your position on these topics? 關於大爆炸理論、愛因斯坦的相對論、史蒂芬霍金對上帝創造的否定等等，有很多人有不同的想法，請問您對這些主題的立場是什麼？
A. My position is: only the Creator, not the created, can tell us what actually happened for the simple reason that He alone was there. It is much easier for me to place my faith and trust on the Creator than on the created, regardless of how smart he or she is. 我的立場是：只有造物主，而不是被創造者，才能告訴我們到底發生了什麼，原因很簡單，只有祂在那裡。 對我來說，將信仰和信任寄託在造物主身上比寄託在受造物身上要容易得多，無論他或她多麼聰明。
