the devil put them there to make humans believe there is no god. just another form of evil trying to corrupt your life, as if u believe there were dinosaurs, there isnt a god, or at least a god the bible speaks of, and such your soul would go to the devil....

...who uses it to buy new fossils.<jp>

I have already stated my thoughts on this in another thread...I'll do so again here.

As to dinosaurs...to me the Bible infers something. God destroyed the world by flood (Noah) because man "worshiped the creature more then the Creator" and because man was "evil continually". The Scripture states the God saved "that which he had made" or pairs and sevens etc of that life. That tells me he DIDNT save what he DID NOT make, in fact he destroyed it.

Think about it...mans lifespan before the flood was nearly 1000 years. Humans then were much more "pefect" and closer to what Adam was then are we. They were much more perfect in their knowlege and wisdom. Their worship of the creature obviously included manipulating God's creation...making, breeding, cloning whatever..dinasours. When God destroyed
the earth he destroyed those works of men too. The oil and coal we make energy from come from the buried vegetation and animal life that was destroyed in the flood.

The Bible states "as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in day of the coming of the Son...." (end days )
What are earthly scientists involved in today??? Hmmm...dabbling with "creation"...cloning...genetic manipulation etc etc

And contrary to popular opinion evidences of man and dinasour have been found in the same layer of earth.

I agree with cherry kool aid in one sense...they were created "of the devil" who inspired the antidelivian peoples to make them in the first place.

This is something i've always pondered upon myself.... i think the Bible gives some reference to dinosaurs in the Book of Genisis. It's just not very clear. And as metalman says i definitely think God destroyed them in the flood.

Here's the verse I believe Killer is referring to... It just mentions "beasts"... I dunno if it is really referring to dinosaurs, but it's possible.

Genesis 1-30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food." And it was so.

ok ive got a question, if there is 100% scientific proof that the meteor killed them, what would you think then? jw not questioning your faith

Kelly
03-16-2006, 11:25 AM
I know you're asking Killer, but my opinion is-

If there's proof, there's proof. I would just assume it was within the (however many) thousands of years before Adam and Eve which isn't mentioned in the bible.

There's scientific proof that the earth has been here for around 6,000 years...
2000 years- Before Christ
2000 years- From Christ til now
Where's the other 2000 years? It was either A) not talked about in the bible, or B) it took God "7 days" to create the earth- however, a day is as a thousand years in the eyes of God...

Just food for thought...

you see thats one thing i never understood with the bible (when i was growing up going to church) is that it is all up for interpretation and people use the parts that they feel fit them and not all of it (not saying you do that since i dont know you). but its like back when christianity first came about people were taking the words from teh bible literally, but now that science has evolved and shed more light about the earth and other things, people start to interpret the bible differently.

that could be, but you can look at the flip side.
the bible was written by man (who supposedly was spoken to by god)
i mean look at all the people that claim themselves to be good christians, but are complete hypocrits. you never know if someone along the lines edited the bible for personal gain or made it vague because it could have been shown to be a fraud. its just that it was written by humans thats my main point, that you never know their real intentions.

Doubt of Scriptural validity is a human issue.

One way is to "test" the Bible. The Bible gives promises. It basicly says if you do certian things God promises certian results. To those who have "tested" this there is no doubt as to validity of the Word. They've lived it. Theyve seen it with their own eyes. Also it can be "tested" by seeing the things around us that have come about exactly like the Bible said they would.

Yet in part, Christianity and Bible believing will always require a measure of faith. Its ordained to be that way. The reason - God wants humans to believe Him, just on his word alone, and He wants to preserve/save only those that have that kind of faith in order to make an utter end of sin/evil.

As I have said before, if you believe in a God that can create the worlds with only his spoken word how can you not believe this same God has the power to preserve His Book and the integrity of it? But if you want to be sure just "test" it. ;)

Dinosaurs would have been after the period of Adam and Eve. They would have been destroyed by the great flood.. or a meteor.. or both...

It could be that the meteor CAUSED the great "flood" :)

The general consensus amongst most christians is the mentioning of animals in the Bible:

"The Bible refers to many the common animals we know today. The list includes lions, wolves, bears, sheep, cattle and dogs along with various kinds of birds, rodents, reptiles, and insects. What is interesting is that this extensive list includes three animals that we no longer recognize. These three are (in the original Hebrew language) tanniyn, b@hemowth and livyathan.

Tanniyn = Dragon, or Dinosaur
Behemoth = Brachiosaurus
Leviathan = Kronosaurus. "

In Job 40:17 There is mention to a behemoth thats tail moves like a cedar tree.
I believe that the earth is millions of years old and so are the dinosaur fossils.

Kelly
03-17-2006, 08:59 AM
^^^ Very interesting point! I've never saw that before. Here it is:

Job 14- 15 "Look at the behemoth, [a]
which I made along with you
and which feeds on grass like an ox.
16 What strength he has in his loins,
what power in the muscles of his belly!
17 His tail [b] sways like a cedar;
the sinews of his thighs are close-knit.
18 His bones are tubes of bronze,
his limbs like rods of iron.
19 He ranks first among the works of God,
yet his Maker can approach him with his sword.

The footnotes say this is "possibly" referring to an elephant or rhino and that the "tail" is referring to it's trunk, but I think it's possible that it's referring to dinosaurs. Not positive, but very interesting!

I like to see someone try to prove where the bible rejects the existince of dinosaurs. It's oblvious dinosaurs were real, and it's obvious that the bible never says they didn't exist. However, it never said elephants, crocodiles, toucans, sharks, octopuses, clams, turtles, mosquitos or any other animal existed that didn't directly affect the teachings of the Bible.

this is kind a dumb question for christians... they have found fossil remains that are from the Triassic period which is over 200million years old, so that blows the 1000's of years out of the water and how people like to explain it w/ the bible is beyond me.

it is amazing that there is not a human fossils dating back 200+ million years ago so that would explain that humans did not exsist... well not until a a monkey or some other form of primative animal turned into man.

I am sorry but you guys relying on "science" to prove a beginning other then creation obviously havent studied into carbon dating...the corner stone of evolutionary "time".
More holes in that than a rusted out Civic from northern Minnesota!

Then when you throw polonium halos into the discussion the rest of evolution's theory that everything (bedrock) forms over millions of years goes right out the window.

Add to that the "modern" objects that are in fact petrified (which many scientists say takes millions of years) and you slide even further down the slippery slope....and so one and so forth....the list continues.

Actually I give you evolutionists ALOT of credit...youre a very "religious" bunch! You have wayyyyyy more faith then any christian or group of christians. You actually believe that if you took an empty box, shook it for millions of years, then opened it, you'd have all the intricate parts needed to make up an organisim more sophisticated then the most complex Rolex watch. Then, you believe if you continued shaking that box for a few more million or billion years you'd end up with a perfectly assembled functioning creature (Rolex watch) that works just perfectly. Yeahhhhhh right!! Thats "science" all right! You are a faithful bunch!! I don't have that kind of "faith" ;)

personally i believe evolution and creation go hand and hand... not the christian point of view of creation, but some form of it. you can't make something from nothing, but evolution is just exactly what life is. we see it and live it every day. the bible was written for nothing more than for people to rationalize the unexplained (death). if the roman empire never crumbled we would all still be worshiping the emperor and the GODS. :goodjob:

Well, it did prove that you assumed things you probably shouldn't have and that I did the exact opposite by not assuming things, like your age. Actually, I did assume you were a lot younger than me, but I sisn't post because I didn't know.

It doesn't take a lot of brains to make an opinion on who has more faith out of the two. There has to be a LOT of faith to beleive that a spirit created everything just as there has to be probably an equal amount for scientists to beleive that it was evolution. Hail.

First I am glad we settled that, indeed it was as I suspected, you havent studied the subject much. Nothing unusual...youre typical of most people in this specific sense. No shame or insult infered.

Secondly, it isnt about any specific religion. If you want to disbelieve most of what preachers/priests/rabbis/religions etc say I am already there dude. They tell a ton of lies! However that doesnt change the truth from being what it is one bit. Its for us to discover/learn what THAT truth may be.

The items I have mentioned are not "religious" in nature, theyre scientific. The problem is this...they completely destroy evolutionary theory's cornerstones. Yet they (and other scienctific discoveries) are in complete harmony with a "creator" or "Intelligent design". Therein lies the problem for evolutionary theory. Therein lies the reason I say it takes more faith to believe evolution. The rolex watch scenario I gave is actually MORE plausible then evolution given these facts, yet is in fact basiclly what evolutionists would have us all believe, only they even wish for us to believe this origin in in more detail, on multiple levels, multiple species. The complexity of the human body alone with its delicate balance of electrochemical systems came about by accident? Over time???? Just by pieces bumping together?? Talk about a high faith belief!

You know what the REAL issue is for creation vs. evolution I suspect??? Man does NOT wish to believe in a judgement or accountibility for his actions. If man accepts even a hint of creation he then is faced with at least the possibilty of judgement, heaven, hell etc etc etc and all of that. I think thats possibly the greatest influence to mankind when considering the origin of the world/universe etc. We just don't want to be accountable in any eternal sense.

Anyway...nice chattin with ya. Gotta go work on a car.

You'll need to quote me on that.

You asked if we evolved, why aren't we still evolving. I answered that it took millions of years (in theory) to evolve. That just because we won't see it in our life, doesn't mean we aren't. If evolution is where we came from, I doubt that Senior Rico Cavecrawler was a humpbacked, hairy caveman one evening and then after going to bed, woke up a sophisticated, well-groomed, proper-statured young lad.

There are two types of evolution.

One can be characterized as changes within a specie or lifeform, such as a flower changing color, or an animal developing a longer nose, or man developing a skill or knowlege etc

The other involves a flower becoming a squirrel, "nothing" becoming a monkey and then ultimately a complex human being etc.

The first does exist, we see it in various species of plants, animals etc...we could also call it adaptation. The second is a far fetched theory for which there is no real proof.

no but man evolves from a single sperm into man... the sperm is created from single cell so isn't that the basis of what evolution is about? granted i'm not discounting the fact of some intervention of a higher power, but you can't discount the simple process for what it is.

i believe that creation/evolution goes hand and hand. some intervention is needed to explain the holes in evolution theory, but i don't think that creation can explain everything, b/c to believe in just creation is to believe that life itself is predestined.

How do you get predestination from creation? Please explain.

The miracle of the procreation is only reproduction within a specie, not "evolution" that entails changing into another lifeform. Its a huge jump from human reproduction to mankind evolving from slime/monkeys etc.

You ask for proof of creation...where is the proof for evolution? It is only a theory.


The evidence for Intelligent design, or creation by God is all around us.
Our world contains billions of systems and subsystems which are all balanced (except where man has screwed them up) and work in harmony. I am expected to believe this perfect balance all came about by accident?? Chance? Just the overwhelming detail alone would cause me to seriously doubt that. Please refer back up to my Rolex watch theory. That is what evolutionists would have me believe...only MUCH more detailed and far fetched.

Study of the human body will show that even that multiple/hundreds perhaps thousands of systems and subsystems. Our life is very delicate. Much too much so for it to be accidental, not to mention the procreation man particpates in, which itself is miraculous in nature and is repeated throughout all the mammals and other species as well. Thats just a couple things for starters.

Everytime we humans proCREATE we take part in creation...if but in a small way. The fact we all have a concience is proof of something...and thats damn sure not evolution. No specie needs a concience to survive. Animals prove this each day. In evolutionary theory the strongest survive...not the kindest. Humans are the only specie with a concience....which makes perfect sense IF you subscribe to creation.

I might ask, what is the real objection to creation if neither is truly "unprovable"? You know what I think it is? Accountability. Man doesnt want it. Man really doesnt want to reconcile his thinking to any concept of punishment or reward or anything of that nature. He prefers the predestination of evolution...which offers nothing more then eventual extinction to make way for another lifeform....death.....if man is evolved his future is indeed predestined....he has no choice but to follow that destiny. If there is a God, then there is choice, AND there is oh so much more then evolution offers. Just something to think about.

If so, yes I agree...human life was created then we adapted to our enviroment. This type of "evolutuon" has its limits. Mankind doesnt evolve from nothing and plants dont become mammals.

Perhaps you'd (or anyone) care to explain one....

The Cambrian is the last stratum of the descending levels of earth that has any fossils in it. All strata below the Cambrian have absolutely no fossil record of life other than some single-celled types such as bacteria and algae. WHY?????
Bacteria suddenly turned into animals???????
The Cambrian layer is full of all the major kinds of animals found today except the vertebrates. In other words, there is nothing primitive about the structure of these most ancient fossils known to man. Essentially, they compare with the complexity of current living creatures. The real question is: Where are their ancestors????

If all life came about suddenly then....hmmmmmmmm....not evolution. Even Darwin knew this was a huge problem to the theory.... He said..."To the question why we do not find rich fossiliferous deposits belonging to these assumed earliest periods prior to the Cambrian system I can give no satisfactory answer...the case at present must remain inexplicable; and may be truly urged as a VALID ARGUMENT AGAINST the views here entertained" (evolution)

I have already acknowledged THAT type of "evolution". Its the "man came from monkeys, which came from NOTHING" which I dispute. There is NO PROOF for that type in terms of ORIGIN OF MAN. There is NOT ONE example of ANY specie ever becoming another. There is no fern becoming a frog.

You confuse micro-evolution (adaptation, crossbreeding etc)with macro-evolution (orgins of life from nothing) There is no doubt frogs make frogs, people make people, sheep make sheep, elephants make elephants etc etc etc.....in addition we know that crossbreeding of many specie is possible. (MULES etc) We also know that if you put a man in the desert for centuries he will develop darker skin and larger nostrils BUT he will never become a scorpion!

However, to jump from THAT to a theory that maintains man came from NOTHING, remember... "The rolex from empty box theory" is a leap of immense faith based on NO PROOF. ;)

In fact the fossil proof indicates life SUDDENLY appeared. NOT gradually. ;)

you keep trying to put words in my mouth that i disagree that man came from nothing, i stated the cycle starts w/ creation, but you are trying to complicate the fact tha evolution exsist. i don't give a shit if its adaptation, macro, micro, its still evolution at work... you can call an apple an orange but its still and apple. :goodjob:

Yes indeed what you described can be called "evolution" but not in the larger sense in terms of what "science" tends to teach and mankind tends to accept.

Here's the issue that I was discussing....frogs come from frogs, whether it require a single frog or two is beside the point. Evolution in its largest sense the theory that the first frog came from nothing OR another lifeform.
That theory HAS NO PROOF, on the contrary, the proof would indicate instant creation by intellligent design, ORIGIN of life by creation of a God or super intelligent being far surpasing anything known in humans.

Somewhere along the line I guess you mistook the objection I have to this ultimate theory of evolution, which is the very heart and soul of it, for something else.

I glad you concur that LIFE started by creation, that is certainly what makes the most sense to me given the evidence. I might add...so far the evidence does not contradict the Bible account of creation. In particular the fossil record is in complete harmony with that account. ;)

I believe that what Metalman is referring to with evolution is for example, mokeys banging each other and one day a human thinking baby plops out. Or the notion that Dolphins grew legs and started walking on land and became dogs. Thus evolving into something else. By that definition you believe that humans "evolved" from Animals, which are two different species.

That is the "hard to believe part". A cat is a cat, and was a cat thousand of years ago (Egypt times). A wolf is a wolf and is still one from tens of thousand of years ago. A fish is a fish still from millions of years ago. A cat did not become a dog. A wolf did not become a bird. And a monkey did not become a man.

What is more, how come we had to evolve from a monkey? I know of better candidates (smarter animals) for our "evolution", with a more advanced brain and of a higher intelligence, like dolphins, or a pig. Surely these animals would be talking to us by now, if they were evolving?

Damn, I see this and it has already eroded from dinosuars to evolution!

Back to the original topic: Dinosaurs.

In the book of Job, it talks of the behemoth with a tail like a cedar. Cedars are huge trees in the Lebanon area. They are many times larger than an elephant or giraffes tail. In fact, there is no animal alive on earth today that could be mistake for having a tail like a cedar. Job is generally recognized as the oldest written book of the Bible. Job would not have had the scientific capabilites that we have today, so he would have had to observe it. The behemoth ate grass, and had large haunches, and a big belly. Sounds like a dinosaur to me.
It also speaks of a leviathan, that man cannot fish with hooks or spears. This creature has scales, like a reptile. This creature is more in line with an ancient dragon, but swims in the ocean, rather than flies, and there is no mention of wings.

Outside of the Bible, there is another compelling piece of physical evidence of dinosaurs and humans living together, but evolutionists remain quiet on this. It does not fit into the grand scheme that dinosuars died 1 million years or more before the first cavemen.
Do a little research on the Ica Stones. My question for you, "How could an ancient Peruvian civilization known what dinosaurs were if dinosaurs died out millions of years before them?".

^good point^


WTF are we looking at the same pic? i certainly see single cell evole into a full blown adult frog :thinking:

what is it adapting to? single cell can remain single cell, but it doesn't it grows a tail, from a tail to legs, to no tail... the enviroment is the same. and adaptation is a form of evolution.

the frog didn't evolve "from" a single cell organism. the frogs got busy and a baby frog "GREW".
I didn't evolve from a 8lbs baby to and adult I(just an example we all did...well most of us) GREW.
go shit in 1 hand and wait for a univerxe to bang into exsistence in the other and we'll see which 1 gets full 1st

fine your still disputing evolution exsist explain WHAT IS A MULE?

BTW - a mule is a terrible way to try to prove evolution. Mules are sterile. It is a mating of a horse and a donkey.

HorseA + HorseB = HorseC
HorseC + HorseD = HorseE

DonkeyA + DonkeyB = DonkeyC
DonkeyC + DonkeyD = DonkeyE

HorseA + DonkeyA = MuleA (sterile hybrid)
HorseB + DonkeyB = MuleB (sterile hybrid)
MuleA + MuleB != MuleC (no evolution of a new species)
