  • 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.

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...
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...

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

And interestingly, the concept of 'satan' was probably not originally part of Judeo-Christian theology (say at the time of Abraham, etc). The idea was most likely imported from other religious cultures of the day. Odd that some Christians make such frequent reference to this character even though theologically it may simply be a personification of what Christians would otherwise call the 'sinful nature'. In other words, the Bible makes it clear that the sinful nature is 'our fault', not the fault of some evil and enigmatic third party.

nice tale but doesn't fall anywhere in the timeline of the bible...

dinosaurs lived on the earth millions of years before man did...
so how can Satan be cast onto the Earth before man existed? Satan was cast down when mankind existed, and by the time mankind existed, it was too late for Satan to interact with the dinosaurs...

JM: It's a quote from Master Kent Hovind who also said:

"Science tells us the speed of light is constant, but that's not true. If you're in a car going 60 mph then the speed of your headlight is c; however, to someone standing on the side of the road, the speed of the headlight is c+60 mph"

if you add 1 to infinity what do you get?
even though c is not infinity, it is fairly large for 60mph to be insignificant...
JM: LOL, it's not only insignificant, it is complete misrepresentation of Einstein's ideas. All things being equal, both the person on the side of the road and the driver of the car would arrive at exactly the same value for c. It makes no difference if the car is travelling at 0.99 c, they would both measure the speed of the headlights as exactly c.
