Tell us about the dinosaurs

[Statler Waldorf]

I am sure I don't actually have to tell you, but an appeal to common sense is a logical fallacy. I kind of thought that was common sense though...oh wait......

Calling yourself "rational" and claiming to live in the "real world" don't actually prove anything, but I am sure you alrady knew that. Just like calling yourself "pretty" and claiming to live in a "mansion" doesn't actually prove either are valid statements.

Just making observations, sugar. No one has to believe a word I say.

By the way, in the time it took to arrange all that, you could have answered the dinosaur question. You'll have to enlighten me, as I grew up reading science books and wandering around in the Natural History Museum in Washington D.C. I have never been to one of these museums I hear mention of that show humans and dinosaurs living together. So please, explain to us all...if the earth is only about 6000 years old, what are all these really freakin' old bones doing lying around? And are there specific examples of these "terrible lizards" in the Bible? I don't remember learning about them in Sunday School, and my people work specifically with the Old Testament, which is where I thought they'd be mentioned. It's just an opinion of mine that if an Old Testament patriarch had seen a dinosaur, after he wiped the poop out of his robes, he'd have told us about it...

Ahh, I too have read science books and have been to the MNH in D.C. . You act like the dinosaur question is a quick answer for both sides of the issue. Well it appears that "your people" did mention dinosaurs, quite often too. Since the word "dinosaur" was not created until the 19th Century by Richard Owen (Creationist) I would not expect to see an ancient Hebrew word for it. However the word "dragon" is used numerious times in the Old Testament. It is used symbolically at times but also used when talking about everyday animals. If I ran into a dinosaur before the word dinosaur was created I probably would describe them as dragons as well. Since dragons really are only giant lizards. There are also some msyterious animals mentioned in Job that are often described today with everyday animals but these animals do not fit the actual description in the text. As to your old "bones" laying around, I assume you mean fossils?

Creationists should not be surprised when rational people think they are fucking fools.

It's hard to find someone who is a bigger fool than a creationist.
Creationists make even the thickest people look smart.

I don't plan on debating with another anytime soon. "He who argues with a fool can be mistaken as a fool." - Not my quote.

Yet we found you right? :-) Personal attacks are fun! You are one of the best at them, but how about you try and string together a logical argument to support your position? Or are you afraid you will fail?
