RE: Proof that humans and dinosaurs could have never lived together.
An excerpt from that website Dark Light posted.
http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles...-the-bible answersingenesis.org Wrote:The story we have all heard from movies, television, newspapers, and most magazines and textbooks is that dinosaurs lived millions of years ago. According to evolutionists, the dinosaurs “ruled the Earth” for 140 million years, dying out about 65 million years ago. However, scientists do not dig up anything labeled with those ages. They only uncover dead dinosaurs (i.e., their bones), and their bones do not have labels attached telling how old they are. The idea of millions of years of evolution is just the evolutionists’ story about the past. No scientist was there to see the dinosaurs live through this supposed dinosaur age. In fact, there is no proof whatsoever that the world and its fossil layers are millions of years old. No scientist observed dinosaurs die. Scientists only find the bones in the here and now, and because many of them are evolutionists, they try to fit the story of the dinosaurs into their view.They obviously have no clue that there are several different dating methods which can be used to determine the age archeological discoveries (including fossils). answersingenesis.org Wrote:Other scientists, called creation scientists, have a different idea about when dinosaurs lived. They believe they can solve any of the supposed dinosaur mysteries and show how the evidence fits wonderfully with their ideas about the past, beliefs that come from the Bible.'Nuff said. Their method of determining the age of fossils has absolutely nothing to do with the scientific method, but is merely based on religious fundamentalism and a literal interpretation of the Bible. They continue to cling on to the belief that Christianity and Evolution are incompatible, despite the fact that they are not. ![]() |

If one studies nature, especially its central concept of evolution, one can only conclude there is no loving God, therefore no Christianity. If you do not come to that conclusion, you obviously don't know enough about nature or are lacking in critical thinking skills. Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims. Science is not a subject, but a method. ![]() |

I agree. The basic concept, that Jesus died for our sins, especially Original Sin, means there must be Original Sin to die for. Original Sin means Adam and Eve were created, as was everything else. If you accept that it's all metaphor and evolution is just a tool God used to seed this planet with life, then what you're left with goes something like this: God created the universe. God created the earth. It probably took just a few days, but that could be a metaphor. He then (mysteriously) created some amino acids in a warm pond somewhere and nudged it to begin life. Then he sat back and waited about 4 billion years, more or less, twiddling his omnipotent thumbs while he waited for stuff to evolve and produce the first humans. Of course, this resulted in evolving plants and trees and carnivores and dinosaurs and legless non-speaking serpents, all from those same amino acids. He then let humans evolve for a couple hundred thousand years until they ended up looking like modern man and then built them a garden about 6,000 years ago. God then moved all the animals and critters into the garden, magically turning all the carnivores into gentle herbivores, undoing billions of years of carnivore evolution in the blink of his omnipotent eye. He also planted the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, which unlike all other trees did not evolve from those same amino acids, right smack dab in the middle of this perfect garden. And then the rest of the stuff in Genesis happened. Frankly, that's even more nonsensical than what Genesis actually says. If you really think about it, trying to smoosh evolution and the Bible together into one coherent creation story that incorporates both theories doesn't really work. It's pretty much gotta be one or the other (by this I mean they're mutually exlusive - I'm not trying to exclude other possibilities or set up a false dichotomy). And we already know which one is pure BS. "Whores perform the same function as priests, but far more thoroughly." - Robert A. Heinlein |

The point I was trying to make is that the examples you mentioned can and have been reconciled with Christian beliefs through philosophical acrobatics and by interpreting their scripture in a different way. ![]() |

why can't religion die, I want it to go away.
When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity. You cannot successfully determine beforehand which side of the bread to butter. |

Just look at what I started. Someone needs to work on combining these two emoticons pronto.

Yes, they've tried, but it is a very uneasy truce or detente. When one looks deeply at nature, gods disappear. Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
