That "special" frosting.

Oh so tasty, and gives you that extra "zing" to help you get through the day with a sparkle in your eye, a spring in your step, and a perforation in your septum.

And THAT'S your reply to the following.

Quote:

Unfortunately, our public school system and the media have convinced us that dinosaurs were extinct at least 60 million years before man appeared on earth. They have done such a good job in this area that we can not imagine people and dinosaurs living at the same time. The fact is that dinosaurs were created no more than one day before mankind, not many millions of years earlierâ€”and we have evidence to support that statement.

Genius .... well done.

excuse me, but whom are you quoting and how does it relate to the thread topic?

In my opinion using either the Bible or 'science' to try to prove the existence of God aren't necessarily relevant ?

- the Bible is based on man's interpretation of the experience of God, science is based on man's interpretation of the experience of man.

- there will be instances where these interpretations coincide, but neither 'proves' or 'disproves' the other.

Science doesn't deal in 'facts' any more than religion does, especially as was previously pointed out when quantum theory is factored in - the uncertainty principle & theory of entanglement prevents such thinking, in my opinion.

One 'fact' is immutable - we are here - we think, we breathe, we fornicate - getting too bogged down in explaining 'how' that happened could spoil the fun of it - whatever anyone believes, that won't change as far as I'm concerned.

I'm quoting Russ B's PROOF that dinosaurs existed. Apparently one day before man.

I think Russ and some of us are also waiting to see the maker of straw men provide an answer to Russ.

Now you see, again you're putting words in my mouth and changing what I said to suit your increasingly weakening argument.

Just so you don't miss it for a 4th time, I'll post this in bold.

What I was asked for, and what I posted was proof that dinosaurs are mentioned in the bible.

In fairness, the 'evidence' on that page is pretty ropey though

There's not much to go on seeing as the word 'dinosaur' wasn't invented until the 1800s but reading the description of the creatures, it's nothing like any animal that's around today.

True, but elephants, and mythical animals like dragons fit the bill equally well. That's not to say it's not possible it refers to dinosaurs, but it's a bit of a stretch (imo) to claim it must be dinosaurs.

Elephants don't have tails that hang 'like a cedar'....

Perhaps the 'tail' was meant metaphorically. Have you ever seen an aroused elephant?

I've actually never thought of putting that in Google. is it worse than an horse?

The bible does mention great beasts . The 7 days are not literal 7 days in time as we know it its time in reference to God who is immortal.

Hypothetically speaking though. If there is a God and therefore Satan and Satan is trying to turn mankind away from God then what better trick than to plant the remains of animals in the earth to be descovered.

As I said before in different threads. The greatest trick Satan has performed is making us believe he does not exist
