Believe In Dinosaurs?

[Chas_svo]

Some folks seem to flat out disbelieve just because the bible says the earth is X old and scientist carbon dated the bones to a much older date.
.

Please point me to that chapter/verse?

In a low whisper...

Thanks, I feel a little bit better about the planet knowing that.

I got into a discussion with a young earth chick a few years back about how old the earth was. She said that it had to be somewhere between 6 and 7 thousand years old if you added up all the so and so begot so and so. I guess they trace JC's lineage or something to a king that was alive, I think that is how she explained how they dated the earth.

So I ask her about carbon dating and how scientists have dated things millions of years earlier a bunch of times. Her response was that man created carbon dating so she didn't believe in it. I told her that man wrote the bible so why does she believe in that. She never responded to any more of my questions.

A few weeks back my 'brightest' daughter told me that flu shots cause retardation.

Did you mean mental challenges?

Sounds familiar!

Why should there be any bones of Jesus? After all he did rise from the dead and ascend into heaven to be with the father.

Of course.

Of the two scenarios, one is believable and one not so much. Belief is the key. How can anyone believe one of those two things?

Sometimes I just want to slap creationist. They hold Genesis like it is the most important thing in the Bible when they need to be focusing quite a bit further down. It also doesn't help when they push forward a lie to promote their beliefs. Doing so just causes others to doubt anything they have to say. The carbon dating argument is one such example.

The Bible is not in conflict with evolution, the creation of our world, or even the universe. How could God ever hope to teach the writer about the creation of the universe when the that observer didn't understand the concepts of math that we teach to 6th graders today. IMO, God didn't bother. God showed him through stories or dreams and let the writer interpret them. It isn't that much different than Christ teaching through parables. You have to speak down to the level of your audiences understanding.

The main point of the Genesis story of creation is that God created everything and gave this world to us. He also gave us a close personal relationship with him and we threw it all away.

IMO, while Science doesn't teach us about God, it sure as hell teaches us about his handiwork. We are denying that work when we deny science.

I'm a creationist who believes in dinos. I got into this discussion yesterday on my prepper site. He was claiming those who believe in Christ think the earth is only a couple thousand years old. I've read the Bible front to back several times and not once is the date of the earth's creation mentioned.

Dinos yes. Earth only a few thousand years old, no.

"If the earth is round, then why don't people just fall off at the bottom?"

ROFL.

it suprises me the amount of stupidity that runs rampant amoung our youth. A few weeks back my 'brightest' daughter told me that flu shots cause retardation.

I guess shes right, ive had the family doctor give them to her since she was a kid.

so Jesus was a zombie? this would explain the whole drinking his blood thing...

[big_tiger]

God was a kid once too, what kid doesn't love dinosaurs?
