Talking about Sasquatch on another thread got me thinking about this...One poster asked, " Why would God create a species that is a dead end".
It seems strange to me, if we are created in the image of God...the fact he created the dinosaurs first, and they were here for so long, where did he get the idea for large beasts that cannot reason, or more importantly, not know their God?
Was there something significant about them we are not aware of?

The larger mass extinctions left something for the next more complex life form. The dinosaur area left fossil fuels. Energy to get through the industrial revolution.

Well, we know that birds are descended from them, but if you don't accept evolution, which I find odd given that you DO apparently believe that the dinosaurs were real, then there's no other answer except to go ask God yourself.

Animals are not "created", i.e. fabricated by someone else, they are a product of nature, and don't have a "purpose". Nothing in the Universe is created with or for a "purpose".
You bring up a good point, though. Dinosaurs lived hundreds of millions of years ago in different "eras", e.g. "Triassic", "Jurassic". Mankind wouldn't evolve until very recently in geologic time, and each existed millions of years apart.
Creationism give creation 6 days from start to finish, and that is for the entire universe, not just the tiny speck of dust we call Earth. Ergo, Creationism is nought but baloney. And when the foundation, i.e. "creation" turns to dust, so goes the entire house of cards called "god".

Actually, fossil fuels have nothing to do with dino's. Coal is made from dead vegetation on land, and petroleum was created by the sedimentation of the bodies of living creatures in the oceans. Over millions of years, many of those places were uplifted above sea level, but had to be underwater for the sediments containing the organic matter to build up.

Yeah, I know ... I was going to clarify after I wrote it. But I figured ...ah screw it. Thank you for the clarification.

universal design, physicality according to external conditions, i.e. mechanism of built in evolution.

I would hardly call dinosaurs a dead end. They existed for roughly 178-180 million years from 243 million to 65 million years ago and most biologists believe birds to have evolved from dinosaurs.
Also, 99 percent of all species that have ever existed on earth are extinct.
