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.

Yes. Haven't you ever seen the Flintstones?
I believe they co-exiisted, but I can't prove it.
Seriously though, the Bible says all the land animals were created on the 6th day,
and then Adam and Eve were created on that day also.

There is no reason for me to believe that they did not, I have heard of adjoined man/dino foot print fossils, why not!

I don't think they all were shown to be fake, some were. Some were assumed fake therefore never tested. same with the stones they have found in South America. There are stones known to be real. quite a few known to be fake. Alot more never even checked, because there were so many known fakes.

I think the only people who believe that dinosaurs and humans co-existed are those who have a vested interest in showing that humans and dinosaurs co-existed: i.e. creationists, especially young earthers.
This seems to me to be a clutching after straws if not a striving after wind.

The opposite and same thing could be said about old earthers. Old earthers are just as vested in their views.

With due respect, I don't think so.
If a living dinosaur were discovered in the jungles of Brazil today, it would require only a small adjustment in the thinking of the scientific establishment and would have no effect on Old Earth Creationists. Neither the views of modern science nor Old Earth Creationism requires dinosaurs to have gone extinct before the rise of human life.
But, for Young Earth Creationists to hold to their views, then humans and dinosaurs must have co-existed. Unfortunately for the Young Earthers, every evidence that they have been able to muster for human/dino coexitence has proven to be false.
For the record, I'm not a Creationist of any stripe...

Job 40:15¶Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
Job 40:16Lo now, his strength [is] in his loins, and his force [is] in the navel of his belly.
Job 40:17He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.Job 40:18His bones [are as] strong pieces of brass; his bones [are] like bars of iron.
I wonder what this is all about

Good point simplyg, and what about leviathan? Also, the word whale in the Bible is the Hebrew tanniyn which also means sea monster or dragon. If Adam was created on day six and sea creatures on day 5, and land animals also on day 6...Yes, they must have co-existed. How else would heiroglyphics, ancient pottery and even cave drawings have pictures of dinosaurs...someone must have seen some. Check out this article about a recen find where the dino bone still has tissue http://www.answersingenesis.org/docs2005/0325Dino_tissue.asp evolutionists have a hard time explaining this one.

How do you explain a dinosaur w/ tissue surviving 65 million years? I can't even keep a loaf of bread for a week lol. That must have been some serious preservative or maybe it wasn't 65 million years.

yeah...thanks for showing the evidence that they're wrong...I'm guessing you're an "expert" so...ok, I'll take your word for it.
"Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of His coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they WILLINGLY ARE IGNORANT of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth satanding out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men." 2 Peter 3:3-7

65 million years or 6500 years, its still problematic at present. this proves nothing.
oh, and answers in genesis is not a reliable scientific site, as they don't 'do science'. what they do is simply state things as fact.
now for some real science...
dino blood and a young earth
paluxy controversy
the above link has several links. one addresses the article by morris of ICR you presented. ICR is about as credible as AIG, which is to say not credible at all.
oh, the ironing...lol

Interesting finding, except one thing... how can you prove that dinosaurs died 65 million years before man walked the earth? I would think it a miracle to prove that but perhaps unwise to disprove the Bible. God bless.

Wow! I haven't seen this kind of talk since Yahoo Answers! Very interesting take on Creationists. Actually it goes more like this. We (generalizing creationist) believe that the Bible is written by God and take it literally. Because Jesus came and died for us and all accounts about Jesus are true, because, you and I both know the proof is in His creations and in His word as well as in our hearts. We do not believe parts of the Bible and disregard the rest, the stuff that science"proves" to be wrong. The only thing science proves is God is mysterious and work in mysterious ways, which is where faith comes in. Personally I have faith in what God has shown me to be true. Not what man has shown me. So there is the difference. We here what you are saying, we know what you believe. But that is your opinion. Just because you think it's correct, does not mean it is. God bless.
