Dinosaurs on the Ark: How It Was Possible

Theory:
a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained
example: "Darwin's theory of evolution"

As apposed to the Biblical theory of Creation there's a lot, LOT more with Evolution that's been demonstrated for the truth of the matter to be "Fact".

Evolution: A → Z

Creation: A ... Z

People on this thread:"Let's just pretend these words mean the same thing."

This post right here ^^^ is one of the reasons I know, you know nothing about evolution.

What Do We Mean by “Theory” in Science?

4 children are still more than most of us will ever have ;-)

Yep, it's four more than AV has. I wonder if he's inbred?

Evolution: A → Z

Creation: A ... Z

Why "creation vs evolution"? Why not "creation through evolution"?

 

[AV1611VET]

Why "creation vs evolution"? Why not "creation through evolution"?

Let's try this again.

Evolution: Dinosaurs gave rise to Doves.

Creation: Dinosaurs and Doves co-existed.

Creation: Dinosaurs and Doves co-existed.

There is no such statement in the whole Bible. You are making it up.

Evolution: Evidence

Creation: Myth

Really?

No dinosaurs on the Ark, when Noah sent out that dove?

Mything the Truth as usual?

Sure. No dinosaurs in the whole Bible.

Mything the Truth as usual?

There have been several eras in the human culture regarding how think about the world and how to communicate ideas (from the viewpoint of our civilization block):
a) the mythological era (Sumer, Babylon, Persia...)
b) the philosophical era (Greece, Rome)
c) the scholastic era (Medieval Europe)
d) the rationalism -> scientific era (Modern Europe)

You are reading Genesis, written in the mythological era, as being written in the scientific era. You like Bible, but you make no effort to understand it properly.

 

[AV1611VET]

Sure. No dinosaurs in the whole Bible.

Myst them, did you?

It gives me a grin every time you used this statement.

Not any longer.

You're making eras.

 

[trophy33]

You're making eras.

We all are. We as humans.

There is something wild and fascinating in mythology. Thats why DC, Marvel or video games with this theme are so succesful.

Why are you surprised that people in ancient times liked it too? They would be bored with our scientific thinking.

Um ... okay ... let me rephrase:

You're making errors.

 

[trophy33]

Um ... okay ... let me rephrase:

You're making errors.

Your rephrasing does not make sense. If you do not believe in these historical eras, just think:
a) why are there ideas like eternal waters, cosmic waters, leviathan in the sea, talking snake, man from dust in the OT
b) why are there ideas like Logos or in the NT?

Because the OT was written in the mythological era while the NT was written in the philosophical era.

If you want to ignore that the surrounding culture influenced the language of the biblical writers, you are wilfully choosing not to understand the Bible. Which is not honoring the Scriptures at all.
