What was going on in the rest of the world apart from the Jesus area
|
Life, basically. The Roman Empire spreading across Europe. Britain being Romanized. Barbarian wars. South America, Aztecs and Mayans I suppose. North America was the Native Americans. Everyone was doing their thing. Untill Christianity started to spread I would assume Jesus came n went without ever being heard of.

Yes.

It's not meant to be a brief history of time

I think that is a big problem for a lot of people, you assume it is a historical record for a period of time, you kinda forget it isn't.

My view is God gave us the Bible to tell us not 'everything' but instead 'what we needed to know'. Gravity for example isn't mentioned in it but why would it?

Bingo. That's what I am getting at. Just cos Dinos aren't described as they would have been, doesn't mean they don't fit in at some point in the process. But that it is possible it isn't required that you know about them. People that believe shouldn't try to explain fossils and link the Bible to it, you can't. Just let it ride and see what happens.
