Sta Jehovini svedoci veruju o Dinosaursusima?
Evo jos jednog primera, gde Jehovini svedoci tvrde da je jedan dan stvaranja trajao 7000 godina.
(Iz ovoga clanka uzeo sam samo ono sto sam u Engledkom tekstu boldovao. Clanak je mnogo dug, ako neko zeli moze da ga nadje na internetu)
“Jehovini svedoci uce da su sva ziva bica, uklucijuso dinosaurose i ljude bili stvoreni u toku dva “dana” stvaranja otkprilike za 14000 godina. Taj period zavrsio se pre 6,040 godina.”…..
“Od svoga osnivanja u 19. veku, Jehovini svedoci ucili su da su “dani” stvaranja trajali nekloliko hiljada godina. Sve do 1980tih duzina svakog “dana” stvaranja trajla je tacno 7000 godina:
Posto je svaki “dan” stvaranja ili period bio svaki 7000 godina dug, CELA “SEDMICA” STVARANJA TRAJALA JE 49,000 GODINA.”…
“Biblija ukazuje da je Jehova stvorio nebo i zemlju za sest dana, svaki od njih po 7000 godina dugi.” (Whatchtower, o7/15 1967, p. 427)
“Svedoci su proveli blizu jedan vek da odrede da je jedan “dan” stvaranja trajao 7000 godina…”
Biblija ukazuje da sedmi “dan” odmor jos uvek traje. Tako sedmi “dan” predstavlja hiljade godine, da logicno mozemo zakljuciti da je isto tako sa prvih sest “dana” stvaranja. (Is Ther a Creator who Care About You? 2006. p. 92)
“Ako je sesti” dan” zavrsio se pre 6000 godina, stvaranjem coveka, moralo je poceti 7000 godina pre toga otprilike 13,000 godina. Slicno tome “dan” peti poceo bi drugih 7000 godina, pre otprilike 20,000 godina.”

What Do Jehovah's Witnesses Believe About Dinosaurs?
When did dinosaurs live?
Posted on April 27, 2017 by jwbeliefs
Jehovah's Witnesses Dinosaurs and Humans
Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that God created dinosaurs sometime between 20,000 (+/-) and 6,000 years ago. They also believe that dinosaurs probably lived with humans. We can be sure of this for the following reasons:
Jehovah’s Witnesses teach that all living creatures, including dinosaurs and humans, were made during two “days” encompassing approximately 14,000 years. That period ended only 6,040 years ago.
Jehovah’s Witnesses teach that sickness and suffering did not exist on Earth until after humans sinned. Dinosaurs experienced sickness and suffering.
Jehovah’s Witnesses teach that predatory, carnivorous behaviour in animals did not exist until after humans sinned. Many dinosaur species were carnivorous predators.
Jehovah’s Witnesses dispute the scientifically established age of dinosaur fossils and promote a “Bible-based” view of life history.
Jehovah’s Witnesses teach that dinosaurs were likely wiped off the earth during Noah’s Flood.
Jehovah’s Witnesses teach that Noah’s Flood is responsible for the formation of fossil-bearing sedimentary rocks that contain dinosaur fossils.
Each point is discussed in more detail below.
1. Creative “Days”
Jehovah's Witnesses Creative Day Six

Genesis divides the creative process into six “days” that end with the creation of man. Aquatic and flying creatures are made on “day” five, while land animals and humans are made on “day” six. Supposedly, the sixth “day” ended just over 6,000 years ago:
Toward the end of the sixth day of creative activity, God brought into existence… man, created in God’s image and after his likeness…
That was in the year 4026 B.C.E.
(Insight, Volume I, p. 33) (Insight, Volume I, p. 528)
Since their founding in the 19th century, Jehovah’s Witnesses have taught that the creative “days” were periods of several thousand years. Until the late 1980s, the length of each “day” was said to be exactly 7,000 years:
Since each of the creative “days” or periods was evidently seven thousand years long, the whole creative “week” takes in 49,000 years. If that period is likened to a twelve-hour clock, then trees and other vegetation appeared between about three-thirty and five-fifteen. And man? Much later—sometime after ten o’clock! Yes, trees on earth for between twenty-seven thousand and thirty-four thousand years far outdate man’s nearly six-thousand-year tenure. (Watchtower, 02/01 1973, p. 82)
The Bible indicates that Jehovah created the heavens and the earth in six days, each 7,000 years in length. (Watchtower, 07/15 1967, p. 427)
Today, Jehovah’s Witnesses continue to claim that each creative “day” encompassed “thousands” of years. The exact number of “thousands” is never specified:

How long, then, were the creative days? The Bible does not say; however, the wording of Genesis chapters 1 and 2 indicates that considerable lengths of time were involved. (Was Life Created? 2010, p. 26)
In the Bible account, each of the six creative days could have lasted for thousands of years. (Awake! 03/2014, p. 5)
Logically, these were, not literal days of 24 hours, but long periods of time. Each of these epochs evidently lasted thousands of years. (Awake! 06/22 2004, p. 11)
The fact is, the Bible reveals that the creative “days,” or ages, encompass thousands of years. (Is There a Creator Who Cares About You?, 2006, p. 92)
It is important to note that Jehovah’s Witnesses start counting the six creative “days” AFTER the universe and primordial Earth already exist:
According to the Bible’s opening statement, the universe, including our planet Earth, was in existence for an indefinite time before the creative days began. (Awake! 09/06 2006, p. 18) (Was Life Created? 2010, p. 25)
Jehovah’s Witnesses make a clear distinction between the “millions” or “billions” of years required to create the cosmos and the mere “thousands” of years required to create life on Earth:
Modern science agrees that the universe had a beginning. A recent scientific model suggests it to be almost 14 billion years old.
The Bible also describes six “days” of creation… Evidently, these “days” of creation lasted many thousands of years. (Awake! 01/14 2014, p. 12)
Geologists estimate that the earth is approximately 4 billion years old, and astronomers calculate that the universe may be as much as 15 billion years old. Do these findings—or their potential future refinements—contradict Genesis 1:1? No. The Bible does not specify the actual age of “the heavens and the earth.” Science does not disprove the Biblical text. (Awake! 09/06 2006, p. 18) (Was Life Created? 2010, p. 25)
…the Bible account… allows for possibly thousands of millions of years for the formation of the earth and many millenniums in six creative eras, or “days,” to prepare the earth for human habitation. (Awake! 02/08 1990, p. 11)
Evidently, Jehovah’s Witnesses believe the creative “days” were a relatively short period of time when compared to the ‘billions’ of years that preceded them. Given that Jehovah’s Witnesses spent nearly a century assigning 7,000 years to each “day”, it seems reasonable to conclude that the word “thousands”, as used today, continues to mean approximately the same thing (+/- 7,000 years).*
* Jehovah’s Witnesses understand the difference between billions, millions and thousands. When Jehovah’s Witnesses say the creative “days” were “thousands” of years long, they literally mean NOT millions or billions of years.
CREATIVE DAYS
Jehovah’s Witnesses also equate the length of each creative ‘day’ with the apparent length of day seven, which is said to be ongoing. If day seven is about six thousand years long and not over yet, then each of the previous days must have been similar in length:
A person can see this from what the Bible says about the seventh “day.”
…the Bible referred to the seventh rest “day” as still continuing. So the seventh “day” was a period spanning thousands of years, and we can logically conclude the same about the first six “days.” (Is There a Creator Who Cares About You?, 2006, p. 92)
If “day” six ended about 6000 years ago, with the creation of man, it must have begun about 7,000 years prior to that (around 13,000 years ago). Likewise, “day” five would have begun another 7,000 years prior to that (around 20,000 years ago).
