I've always heard that dinosaurs exsisted millions of years ago, And there may have been, But the animals created after people, perhaps they were just like the ones we see today and maybe some that we don't see. I mean it's obvious that dinosaurs don't exsist now, or in any time we read about.

ONLY GOD KNOWS WHAT HAS BEEN CREATED AND WHEN IT WAS CREATED, we as humans can only assume/guess/thorize these things..

Few fects.

1- The size of humans were also bigger then we see now days
2- Allah had created Adam then animals, before the earth been created these were living in JANNAT ...
3- I was watching a documentary about the china on National documentary, those shines were selling artifacts(not real) by passing then through the X-Rey machine, and on verification they are showing the age of artifacts 500bc. so there is no assurity when they(DINOS) were living.

My question is regarding the height of man when creation first came to be. I hear that ALLAH created man in extreme heights deeming them taller in stature to what we see today. Is this true and what is the evidence for this?

I believe, that animals were created first. Just hypetheticaly speaking, let's say yes animals were created first, and allah/god got bored or was even finished with what his intentions were with them, then he created humans and just like the animals, we one day will be finished as well, and so on and so on. As scientists say animals were walking the earth millions of yrs ago and if that's true, we all know humans were not created that long ago....my opinion is who really cares? I mean it is interesting but we should focus on this life and leave the past the past and the futher the futher...hope this helps...again just an opinion

I have heard that aswell, however when I was in Lebannon, we visited adam's son able's grave site, and his coffin was almost 20 ft long, so that made me believe it's true what they say about giants/very tall ppl. Peace to all...

Quote:
As for the fossil remains of bipedal apes and the tools and artifacts associated with those remains, their existence poses no problem for Islamic teachings. There is nothing in the Qur’ân and Sunnah that either affirms or denies that upright, brainy, tool using apes ever existed or evolved from other apelike ancestors. Such animals may very well have existed on Earth before Adam’s arrival upon it. All we can draw from the Qur’ân and Sunnah is that even if those animals once existed, they were not the forefathers of Adam (peace be upon him).

And Allah knows best.

as far as I know Allah(swt) had made many animals before the Creation of Adam(a.s) and Allah may have banished the Dinosaurs so that Adam(a.s) and his children could live on earth without danger from the giant lizards then if not Allah Hu Alam

yes it is true

Narrated by Abu Hurairah radhiallahu anhu that Muhammed said:
Allah created Adam and he was sixty cubits tall. Then He said: Go and greet those angels and listen to how they greet you, for that will be your greeting and the greeting of your progeny.’ He said, Alsalaamu alaykum (Peace be upon you).’
They said, ‘Al-salaamu ‘alaykum wa rahmat-Allah (Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah).’
So they added the words ‘wa rahmat Allah.’ And everyone who enters Paradise will be in the form of Adam. People kept on growing smaller until now.
Bukhari and muslim

one cubit is approx 18 inches atleast.

if men were so big, why would it be strange for animals to be big aswell?

If I remember, there are two verses in the Qur'an that mention that a "day" in Allah's eyes is like a millenium to us: maybe not literally, but basically that the "days" before Adam was created were long periods in which other creatures lived and died out.

Whatever the truth is, I believe that Allah wouldn't punish/reward us for our beliefs regarding dinosaurs.
