Creationist thoughts on dinosaurs?

[Tom 1]

Ye flood drowned the ichthyosaurs and mososaurs?

The eald flod

The eald flod

Now you do figure a flood drowned marine creatures?

Keeping in mind that there was no wwf. ( world wide flood)

Now you do figure a flood drowned marine creatures?

To be fair, with the heat budget involved in such a flood they would have boiled. Either way, marine creatures would not have survived.

Maybe they got confused midway between turning amphibious. Nb. Ye means you.

You are just being silly.
Lemme know if you get over it.

There is a fair amount of silliness surrounding this topic.

W.Va. school system and parent settle FFRF case over egregious bible classes

The school system had defended the curriculum by claiming the lessons taught history and literature. However, much of the program was fundamentalist Christian instruction. For example, a lesson on Adam and Eve featured the pair with a dinosaur in the background. It asked students: “So picture Adam being able to crawl up on the back of a dinosaur! He and Eve could have their own personal water slide! Wouldn’t that be so wild!”

---

That 'teaching' script [the "It asked students" link] is wild. If we set aside the dinosaur slides and the other things they are trying to 'teach', it's also interesting to see what they won't talk about:

NOTE TO TEACHERS: If a student questions how long the [Genesis] days were, say: “Normally when we use the word day we usually mean 24 hours, but often the word day is also used to mean a period of time, such as, ‘Back in the day of my great grandparents...’ Since there are different ideas about what this word ‘day’ means in the Bible, this is one of the things we cannot discuss in Bible class.”

Haha, there are no different ideas about whether Adam and Eve hung out with dinosaurs, but here there are differences of opinion and we can't talk about it.

Well I'm an Old Earth Creationist and follow Hugh Ross point of view on the basic topic. He believes they lived way before the age of man, and God used them to intelligently Design the World for the later appearance of man, basically God knew about us wanting to make lots of vehicles and power plants that run on fossil fuels and was happy to provide us with lots of oil and coal made from former dead animals and plants.

Fascinating. I never theologically understood why dinosaurs existed. I thought it was out of God's abundant creativity. Great response!

 

[RileyG]

I am not a creationist by any means. I believe God created everything, and I believe in evolution. Just to be clear.

The earth itself is or has been corrupted, so truth can not be found by digging around in it.

I believe they are the dragons, satyrs, behemoths, and leviathans mentioned in the Scriptures.

Some type of serpent-beast talked to Eve in the Garden -- probably a dragon.

That... that is a weird animal.

Though it did remind of something I saw about Biblical scholars discussing Satan and the serpent in Eden and one of them ending up yelling "Satan did not hop around like a pogo stick!"

Never go to a Sinclair station in the US of A?

Never been to America.

I don't really care for it either.

I just couldn't find something better.

Fair. It is an ugly thing on so many levels.

OOH! That's familiar to me but I can't say from where. I have seen that before.

Ye= you. I stand corrected on my old English.
Are you open to correction about the " flood"?

 

[Tom 1]

Correct away, although presumably you'd want to know what I think about it first. A general correction of what you think people believe about it would be ok though and would save some typing time on my part.
