Thread: Dinosaurs and Biblical creationism

Present form humans have existed for a few tens of thousands of years. Dinosaurs were on this planet for 167 million years and have been extinct for 65 million years. That means dinosaurs were around for about 2 thousand times as long as humans have been here. It also means there is more than a 64.9 million year gap between the extinction of dinosaurs and the earliest days of human existence. Now read this thread conversation from another site...

Grade A parenting.

P.S. The garden of Eden was in Missouri.
P.P.S. That forum is such a fucking load of bullcrap diarrhea-generating brainfuck.

I feel sorry for that one kid who's clearly got something upstairs. Having a parent that stupid. I'd say that qualifies as child abuse myself.

Genesis is interpreted loosely by some Christians, i.e. it did not actually occur in seven days but over a more substantial piece of time.

And the old testament mentions the Leviathan, a giant beast, which could be seen as a dinosaur.

Leviathan is clearly a whale, and this is agreed by essentially all serious theological scholars; equally Behemoth, all that is said is he has a large tale and is very strong etc; Suggested animals include the water buffalo, rhinoceros and the elephant, but the most common suggestion is the hippopotamus.

Others disagree with these identifications, pointing to the fact that the animal's tail "moves like a cedar" , an unlikely description for any of these animals. Scholars maintaining identification with the elephant say that "tail" could describe an elephant's trunk. Moreover, some suggest that "tail" is a euphemism for male genitalia. Support for this is based on another meaning of the Hebrew word "move" which means "extend" and on the second part of verse 17 describing the sinew around its "stones" (the Vulgate uses the word "testiculorum").

Nate will bombard me with a million bible questions right at his bedtime too...its like they think about this stuff for weeks then wait to dump it all on you at once!

The last time he did this to me, I was able to answer all of them I think except one...knowing the bible well helps!

Keep going, kid! Don't give into her mumbo-jumbo!

We now have a thread for the ULOACCFTLULZ.
