Dinosaur Idea

Ok so by no means do I believe this , it's just a thought and I was wondering what you guys thought. Ok so in Luke it says that two demon possessed men coming from the tombs met them. It goes on to say that the demons asked Jesus that if he drove them out to send them into a heard of pigs. So he did and the pigs went crazy and dies in the water. So.. What if, Satan and the angels that left with him where cast out of heaven and onto earth and into the Dinosaurs and they Died on earth. Just a thought. In luke it says "He replied, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. ". And there are a few passages where it refers to Satan as a "star" and that he swept a third of the stars away with him to Earth. Hmm.... Demons possessing animals and killing them, Stars, and falling from heaven like lightning. I wonder if Satan Possessed these Dinosaurs after he and his followers fell from heaven like lightning.?.?.?

Before you ask for our thoughts, why don't you test your idea?

1. Why do we see evolutionary relationships among the dinos?
2. Why did one species of dino become the ancestor of birds? Does that mean that all birds are descended from an angel?

3. Such an occurence should be mentioned in the Bible. Search the entire Bible for a reference.

Okso what do yo think. I've done my searching I .. I don't believe this idea, I'm looking for other opinions... Besides, when we stand judgement all of us will be dead wrong about sometihing...

JohnR7 once told me a strange idea:

Reptiles never cease to grow, so, the dinosaurs are really old reptiles.

I thought it was a neat idea.

OK, so you've searched the entire Bible and you don't find mention of your idea.

Now, if someone has the idea that your living room has a water bed and then searches your living room and does not find a water bed, what do you conclude?

That the idea is wrong. Wouldn't the same priniciple apply here?

The question is, why didn't you do this before you posted?

What I'm driving at here is that you have the initial responsibility to test your hypotheses. If you can falsify them by yourself, then there is no need to spend anyone else's time on them. Save that for hypotheses that you can't falsify yourself and now want help testing.

I SAID I DIDN'T BELIEVE THIS..Although it does makes sence, it doesn't mention it in the bible. YOU have failed once again to answer the question. What do you think about this idea? Do you have an idea? What do you think? Answer the question, or don't waste yout time...

I believe it is a rather silly idea with no supporting evidence either in creation or in scripture.

I have never heard of dinosaurs being posessed. It sounds kind of strange to me. I have read the Bible a lot. What would a Dinosaur have to do with Satan?

big and scary with sharp pointy teeth. unable to outrun oak trees.

Wow this thread is bizarre. I guess the new creationist way of explaining creatutes millions of times older than they claim the Earth to be, is to say Satan must have posessed these creatures. LOL
