So no proof at all (that you care to share) that Dinos' lived a few thousand years ago ?
Quote:There's also the book of Job, which mentions what sounds like dinosaurs.
Even Job is referring to a mythical beast, doesn't the bible also mention Unicorns, Locusts (like Horses) , The Leviathan (Creature with multiple heads that Yahweh battled for control of the sea), A lion with eagle wings, leopard-like creature with four wings and four heads.. we could of course go on.
But surely T-rex and the enormous Dino's would at least deserve a mention, especially as remains are found all over the earth.
Quote:Mostly, though, I know that all of the bones that have been found haven't been dated correctly, because radiometric dating is garbage (and you can find these arguments yourself as well).
That is not the only way things are dated though, something you would know if you actually decided to educate yourself. Can you show me where the claim that it is not considered accurate by leaders in the field is ?
Quote:The Institute for Creation Research is a pretty solid resource.
You mean the site that has this in it's 'what we believe' section..
Facts are always subject to interpretation by fallible people who do not possess all information. By definition, therefore, no interpretation of facts in any field, including history and chronology, can be valid if it contradicts the scriptural record.
Yes then clearly a great site to go to to be educated on science
Quote:Bad dating in that case, as in all such cases. She isn't the only one who has found these things, by the way. I seem to remember hearing that these discoveries are becoming more and more regular. Here is one example: https://www.cnn.com/2017/02/03/world/din...index.html
Even your article is just a news story about a find, and does not make the same claims as you.
Quote:EDIT: I should mention I'm not really sure what you were pointing out. There was still "flesh" on or in the bone, and they have no idea how it was preserved for so long.
You mentioned it first there is absolutely no mention of 'flesh on the bone'
Quote:It's not a claim, it's a fact. You have no idea what happened,
I'm not claiming i do know, you are, I'm saying they have no way of knowing, but that the common though by leading archaeologists, is that Yahweh was at best a subordinate god to El. And I even offered scripture to you, but of course you simply ignored it, which by the way I approve of scripture clearly is not the place for truth.
Quote:so to cite this "evidence" as conclusive is just silly. That's why in your own article it states that two scholars, whom I assume have access to the same information, differ.
And, to differ is good, but either way does not lead to your clear assertion that Yahweh was the first god mentioned in archaeology, and it is evidence that people disagree in black and white, you just said so yourself. Therefore to make the assertion you are in your own words is clearly silly.
Quote:We're all unworthy, and we're all blind until the Lord gives us sight.
Yes, so say all religions (in some form or other)
Quote:Being offended at your present state or the idea that it might be your present state is only evidence that you don't see yourself as you truly are. We all deserve to be blind fools.
I'm not offended at all and how can it be evidence of anything ? Deserving is irrelevant unless you can show it's true, if you want to consider yourself a blind fool that's fine. I just prefer to say there are things I don't know, but I'm willing to learn.

Geez, wHat's with this Abbot bloke? From his posts, he doesn't seem mentally impaired. Is he truly as wilfully ignorant as he seems?
This fool seems to really believe that the mythology of an illiterate tribe of Bronze age goat herders is the inerrant word of a supreme being-- these people even lacked the wit to invent their own gods and mythology. IE: YHWH was part of a Chaldean trilogy, the flood myth was lifted from The Epic Of Gilgamesh, and parts of Mosaic law bear an uncanny resemblance to parts of Hammurabi's code..
I guess I shouldn't be surprised, after coming across the creationist museum. There is apparently a diorama with a person riding a dinosaur.
Of course, this was almost certainly stolen from the Gospel of Luke, in which Luke recounts how Jesus came to have a pet dinosaur. (he removed a thorn from its paw)
"A creationist museum is a facility that hosts exhibits which use the established natural history museum format to present a young Earth creationist view that the Earth and life on Earth were created some 6,000 to 10,000 years ago in six days.[1] These facilities generally promote pseudoscientific Biblical literalist creationism and contest evolutionary science, which has led to heavy criticism from the scientific community.[2] "

Anything creationist is hilarious..
