Dinosaurs + religion

[[teehee]

LOL I WAS JUST THINKING. http://viapurifico.com/forums/images/smilies/happy13.gif People earlier were saying earlier that there can't possibly be life on other planets as it's never mentioned in the bible.

There is no full complete hard evidence (as far as I know) about Aliens etc (even though I do believe in them myself). HOWEVER. There are indisputable fossil records showing Dinosaurs... My question is; Why did supposedly create everything, then create dinosaurs, then obliterate them and took 65 million years to bother to make humans? Also, how can such a thing exist when the bible doesn't mention anything before the presence of humans?

This has to be said, and as I'm a christian myself I can't get into trouble for saying it :cookie:.
Ahem *clears throat*:

These people are stoopid :kira:, almost as bad as the people who find it easier to believe that the fictionally enhanced Atlantisians built the pyramids than that the Egyptians did.

God didn't like dinos? Why weren't they included? THIS IS RACISIM.

Anyways, I still remember going on this really christian site and they thought that the fossils were put there by God to test our faith in him. lawl so God goes out of his way to create all this evidence against him, then sends the people who pays attention to it to hell? Sounds like he's filtering out the thinkers and only leaving the stupid, mindless slaves.

Note I'm not insulting christianity. I'm ridiculing this notion of God creating fossils.

Meh, maybe God wanted us to be smart? Make us understand our world better.

And btw, I'm all up for a bit of Specism.

Theres proof of Dinos so how does religion come into this?

Big huge meteorz :wacky:

Although im atheist *smug smug smug*, from the Christian point of view mixed with science, i'd say that this concept mixes in with the "God created all in seven days" belief. I would of thought that the seven days would have been more like 7 billion years or whatever, and on one of those years, good old God needed something to throw meteors at, and thus created Mr Tyrannosaurus.

Hmmm, interesting theory.*smokes pipe*

[Ringlets]

Wait what? Thats the kind of answer that usually sets threads like these into a "Your religion sucks!" "No, you!" arguement. Sweet.

LMAO omfgz :rolleyes:
okays apparently there is some mention of dinosaurs in the bible
Although we alter the spelling of behemoth and Leviathan slightly, we still use those same words in bibles today. However, tanniyn is always translated into another word when we write it in English. Tanniyn occurs 28 times in the Bible and is normally translated “dragon.” It is also translated “serpent,” “sea monster,” “dinosaur,” “great creature,” and “reptile.” Behemoth and Leviathan are relatively specific creatures, perhaps each was a single kind of animal. Tanniyn is a more general term, and it can be thought of as the original version of the word “dinosaur.”If want dante said is well erm right-then what we have is a pretty indecisive god-kinda contradicts the fact that he is all-knowing

Oh I think it's just the language barrier taking it's place, and how to interpret it's meaning. The rules to the 'language game' as Witgenstein would've put it.

[Dream Machine]

Proofz that God din't forget the dinosaurs, lolz.

Apparently creationists believed man and dinosaurs lived in perfect harmony. Until God decided to kill them for some reason. I always feel like patting creationists ^_^, they're 'special'.

[[teehee]

They also think that the world is only "a few thousand years old". :kira:

[Dream Machine]

Yeah how do they take into account cultures like the Ancient Egyptian culture which started in 5000BC-ish? Isn't that 7000 years ago when the Earth is meant to be 5000 years old-ish? The big sillys.

pft, they were OBVIOUSLY already 3000 years old when they were created. OMG everyone knows that.

[Lifrasthir]

Well of course God "liked" dinosaurs. He wouldn't have created them if they weren't good.

Oh, and speaking of dinosaurs, I saw an advertisement on the Discovery channel that scientists are trying to recreate T-Rex by rearranging DNA or something like that in, I think, a chicken egg...Think that's possible?

Oh dear. You just know we're gonna end up having a 'Jurassic Park' situation. 'Save us, Sam Neill!!'
