Everyone on this page who mentioned these gigantic, flesh eating demons, salute! That's what I was trying to say but couldn't quite put it in words. And to the guy who decided to come in here and defend the Quran, fuck off m8. I made NO reference to muslims NOR the quran. I suppose you view your book as being the greatest.. how cute. And godschilld.. facepalm.

Um...the dickheads think that all dinosaurs were vegetarians until the Flood.

Quote:About 6,000 years ago, God created the dinosaurs on day six of creation. This is the same day He created man. At this time all things were vegetarian, including the dinosaurs.


This is written for childish immature minds...which precisely identifies creatards!

Yeah, sure....

15' Tyrannosaur with 10" long teeth hunting down anything that moved.

12' long Deinonychus hunting in packs, running at 40 mph, with an 8" long killing claw on their legs.

130' long, 130 ton Amphicoelias stomping around the countryside, crushing towns without notice.

None of these (and hundreds more) would have been relevant to the people living in the area?

Is that really the 'mystery solving' response you want to go with?

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

Not to mention huge-ass seismosaurs walking around literally shaking the earth with every step, and they weren't notable enough to be mentioned in the bible just once?

If Jesus had just killed one of those, he wouldn't have needed to miracle a bunch of loaves and fishes to feed the masses.

Can you prove they lived around people.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Oh you mean the creationists haven't proven that yet?

How surprising, I could've sworn I read about a display of humans and dinosaurs living together in a creationist museum.

I wonder what else they're displaying that has yet to be proven .... hmmmm.

Well, gee, the bible doesn't mention jellyfish either (that I know of). Is knowledge of dinos necessary for saving faith? Of course not.
