The "devil" did it, Cinj. Remember what kind of a lunatic you're dealing with.

Might also add that a great many fossils are found in sedimentary rock. Sand arranged itself into vertebrae and femurs? Not likely.

Stat: You have really missed the point. Arguing against something that clearly exists by being obdurate makes you look a cock. Asking for evidence of something is not unreasonable, as long as you don't stick your fingers in your ears and shout "I can't hear you! You're wrong! Show me the evidence!" when someone comes back with... evidence.

However, if you want to argue for evidence of God, you can't. Until God shows himself in the physical world, there isn't any physical evidence. If he was heard in a burning bush again, yes there could be evidence, witness testimonies, video, photographs etc. You and I have two sources: 1 The Bible and 2 How we feel. As evidence, the Bible is poor. It is a collection of historically inaccurate, contradictory, hearsay annecdotes that have a great overall message but if examined dispassionately, would be laughed out of a courtroom. This leaves how you feel. You believing there is a God is just as valid as someone believing there isn't a God. You may have problems though in defending what you ascribe to his direct influence. E.g. I believe God created the universe with the big bang. That cannot be argued against by science because it fits everything observable and measurable. If you say God formed each star and planet one by one with his bare hands then you are certainly going to be at odds with just about everything observable and measurable.

At some stage, you may have to accept that people in Sunday School tell lies.

Did Statler get spanked so hard he does not want to respond in this thread any more?.... man I came here wanting to take on a YEC but he don't respond.... I guess that's the MO of his type.

He disappears for a while and then rears his head from time to time.

I looked at his threads, he has been on the forum and replied to threads since I posted.

Take it how you will.

Absolutely no reason to be skeptical that dinosaurs existed.

Quote:No usually skeptics ask for “proof” of God’s existence, which means they want a sound logical syllogism for the existence of God, I have seen no such syllogism for the existence of dinosaurs; it’s special pleading.

Quote:I made it very clear that this was an exercise; I was going to play the part of the skeptic and play the same games you guys play concerning the existence of God. I find it a bit amusing you thought I was stupid when I was acting like you always do. There still is no sound logical proof for the existence of dinosaurs, so why do you still believe in them?

Quote:Actually many secular scientists do not believe those are actual proteins because proteins cannot survive for millions of years. You are starting to sound like a young earth creationist now.

Quote:Reading comprehension is clearly not your strong point gramps.

“You and your assertions get so old, so let's play the game shall we? Can you prove dinosaurs existed?” - SW

Quote:So you didn’t know this was a game to prove a point even though I clearly stated it was? That’s funny. You still haven’t given me any “proof” that dinosaurs ever existed though

Quote: You guys totally got whipped on that one. You pointed to some rocks and asserted, “See these prove that dragon-like creatures ruled the earth millions of years ago! You see this 4th grade textbook agrees with me!” Where is the direct observation? Where are the logical syllogisms? You guys failed to live up to your own stink test and it was hilarious.

Hilarious to a complete fucking retard.

Quote:I am pretending to be a dinosaur skeptic by arguing like an atheist, if you think it is stupid then that’s pretty funny because you use the same form of argumentation against the existence of God.

There is no evidence as undeniable as a dinosaur skeleton for god. There is no comparison to an atheist not believing god and you "pretending" to not believe in dinosaurs. No comparison at all.
