Generally speaking yes, I'm not sure about the exact dates. However, they died out well before the flood.

One theory.

I believe the Bible, just run the numbers of men's ages in the genealogies and you get the age of the world. If you are interested in Creation and learning more about it, even if you don't believe in it, watch "Answers In Genesis" on YouTube.

Just curious if you have evervlistened to John Lennox on the subject.

I've Sat on Logs like that in Wyoming as a Youth

Could you answer this question: where did music come from and why is it here?

The universe itself sings. If you sonify the energy waves in space you get music. Gives new meaning to " The heavens declare the glory of God."

It's here so we can have music threads.

But why is music here? What purpose does it have?

Dancin'

Ok. Where did it come from?

Art, music, appreciation of things that we find esthetically pleasing, and creativity are all attributes of God's image that we are created in.

Birds, most likely.

Not birds.....dinosaurs.

Hmm I wondered if petrodactyls sang like birds?

Still haven’t seen a answer to my question…does anyone have a guess?

Sure, HUMANS created music. It's been here since prehistoric times. Nobody knows WHO invented it.
I'm sure you won't be satisfied with that answer.

But why is it here? What purpose does it serve? How did it get created?

It doesn’t take thousands of years for a full ecosystem to develop. Take for instance Mt St Helens. Scientists saw plants and animals returning to the area within a year of the eruption. It makes sense that in earth’s ancient history the soil would have been a lot more fertile than it is now. Therefore it makes sense that a ecosystem could be rebuilt before the next layer of lava came pouring thru.

I've heard of John Lennox.
