The Word of God will never pass away.

MATTHEW 24:35
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

The Word of God in Genesis 1:27 never pass away too.
The Truth in Creation of Man is happen all the time because God is creating Man in Spiritual Creation and not Literal Physical.
GENESIS 1:27
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

According to the world history. The age of the earth is 4.56 Billion Years.
The dinosaurs existed 252 to 66 Million Years ago only. By that time there were no people on earth yet.
“World history” is a compilation of human accounts. Since there are no such accounts for anything prior to about 4500 years ago, we can dismiss your claim.

The dating of both the earth and of dinosaurs is based in “uniformitarianism” which rejects a Creator and assumes that geological processes have continued throughout history at the same rates as today. This is provably false.

The Bible tells us that creation was recent. I see no reason not to trust God’s word as the factual account of history.

The history of the Dinosaurs can't be denied because there are evidences that can be found in the museum.
The history of man which is supported by evidences was just started from the Stone Age 2.4 million years ago only.

The Creation of Man can read in the Holy Bible but no evidence at all.

Of course, I trust God that is why I believe in him when he said he is talking Spiritual Things because God is Spiritual being.
2 CORINTHIANS 3:6
6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

1 CORINTHIANS 2:13-14
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

I’m not denying the existence of dinosaurs, just the secular time frame.

Those “evidences” are interpreted through an atheistic lens. The time frame is bogus.

The Bible itself IS evidence.

Yes, I agree that the bible itself is an evidence that is why I believe what God said that creation happened spiritually,

2 CORINTHIANS 3:6

1 CORINTHIANS 2:13-14

If the Creation of Man happened literally & physically you can't reconcile the Truth in Ecclesiastes 1:9 that God the Father never stop creating Man as He did to Adam & Eve.

Spiritually Creation is YES. God the Father never stop Creating Man Spiritually.
And this verse is a living evidence.
ECCLESIASTES 1:9
9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

Gen 1:26-31
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. 31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Gen 2:21-25
21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

Men and Women were created physical and moral creatures with God's Spirit in them.

God invented male and female
God is beyond those types of things.

God is the creator of all

In God's image is in reference to moral character.
A sinless, loving character.

But we fell. Now God is trying to restore His image in each one of us.

Luk 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

2Co 4:4....lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Jesus is the image of God...
Jesus was sinless and Adam was sinless

We can also be born again.

You claimed in another thread that you are seeking truth, but you treat God's word like all of it applies to every situation. That is simply not true.

You need to ask Jesus about genre. The verse you quoted is not a promise from God, but an observation of the the real world in which we live.

Further, Genesis 2:2 states clearly that God rested from His work of creation. If you can find the verse that says He started creating again, then you have made your point. Otherwise, you're wrong again.

Scripture does not state that God is a male.

God is Spirit, not flesh. Male and female are attributes of flesh.

The "image of God" is not fleshly.
