  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Not really no. Okay lets talk about the snout and tail:

You say:

- the snout is more consistent with a Sumatran rhino - I agree
- the ears are more consistent with a Sumatran rhino - I agree
- the tail is more consistent with a Sumatran rhino - I disagree, it's more like a stegosaurus'.

So, from this one ambiguous sculpture, you're positing the existence of a whole ecology of dinosaurs, living contemporary with humans, which left absolutely no fossil evidence?

Seems... kinda unlikely, doesn't it?

Try a scientific source when making claims about scientific subjects.



No, it comes down to the actual evidence, which is independend of ones beliefs.



Huh? That sounds like a pretty random comment to inject into this conversation.
It's pointless and unfruitful exercise to try and argue this.

I disagree, it's more like a stegosaurus'.
Once again, even if it was a carving of a stegosaurus, it wouldn't prove that dinosaurs lived at the same time as humans.

Yes He did;

John 10:25
“The Scriptures cannot be discredited”.

All the dates add up to 5987 years.
The scriptures also tell us Jesus is a sheep. Or is it possible a bald literalist reading of the Scriptures is not the best way to interpret them?

Not to mention that wht Jesus was talking about when he spoke of scriptures was not the Bible we know.

Consider an archeologist 1000 years from now, after our society completely collapsed and was rebuild, finding a poster of Jurassic Park, The Movie, but only of the part depicting a human fighting a T-rex. So no text, directors, studio labels, etc. Just what looks like a photograph of a human fighting a T-rex.

That wouldn't prove humans lived together with T-Rex, now, wouldn't it?

So even if this thing is a stegasaur... why would this be any different?
We know about the creature by finding remains of it, and we don't live at the same time as it.

Why couldn't they know about the creature in the same way?

But how would the carver know what a dinosaur looked like, stegosaurus or otherwise?

You must be quoting from a different Bible than the one regular Christians use.
John 10:25
"Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me."


All the dates add up to 5987 years.
So you are not a follower of Archbishop Ussher, I see.

How do we know what they looked like? We've never seen a living one either. Do you think nobody knew about dinosaur fossils until you came along?

Oops typo: John 10:35

Usher was 33 years out but it wasn't a bad attempt given the amount of information he had to research with.

That doesn't answer my question.
