Dinosaurs...?

[x0xJesusIsLovex0x]

Honestly, I don't really know what to tell you. But I like dinos there cool.

Your statement of myths and alegories in Genesis is totally misguided and incorrect.
The first 11 chapters of Genesis are as true as the rest of the Bible; which I know will give cause for people to say that the rest of the Bible is also incorrect, this statement lacks truth. The Bible is true.

No... Genesis is no more "true" or literal than the parable of the Good Samaritan

You have proof of your statement, or is it just your OPINION?

There is no such thing as scientific proof, there is, however, a VAST amount of EVIDENCE supporting this conclussion

I do not think Noah or the people of Noah's day had dinos for pets. I believe they had died out long before Noah's time. Nor do I believe that '...out of the ground God formed (T-Rex's & raptors) and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. (Gen.2:19)

I do believe that God used (and helped) the Evolutionary process and this is how we are now seeing all the transitional fossils coming on the scene. These we absolutely cannot deny. There are just too many and their quality is getting better. So we must re-examine the traditional Genesis creation story.

OK, pet t-rex's (possessive rex, please! ) Those baby teeth would HURT worse than a puppy's or kitten's.

OOPS, just caught this - you said transitional forms. Are you going to see if you can get any of the transitional forms rewards?

I believe that they existed, why not? all other animals did, and most still do. There is nothing un-biblical about them existing that I know of.

Who is debating? I'm
A. asking a question to clarify, and B. pointing out a fact

so again, A. Is there any reason beyond the etymology of the name to consider dinosaurs cold blooded? and B. No, NO ONE has ever carbon dated dinosaur fossils.

If you think I'm incorrect about this last point, please link me to a source that reproduces a reputeable laboratory's experiments, and I shall instantly apologise and retract my statement. The website previously linked does NOT give such an example.

On what do you base your conclusion that dinosaurs were cold blooded?

Are you aware that no one has EVER used carbon dating to date a dinosaur fossil?

That's debating. I believe that most posters in this thread have provided the more accepted view, which I think the Bible explains too, and creationist scientists backup as well.

The Bible says that dinosaur fossils have been carbon dated?

The Bible says that they were cold blooded?

Chapter? Verse?

Its NOT debating, its asking a question! Geez!

Debating is when you say "you're wrong, here's why..."

I havn't said you are wrong, I'm asking you to provide evidence of your assertion that the Bible says dinosaurs are cold blooded or that their fossils have been carbon dated.

Now, I appreciate that you probably can't give an answer you LIKE to this question, but that still doesn't make it a debate.

I asked a straightforward question, please answer it, or admit you can't. But DON'T try to make excuses by saying something is debating when it clearly isn't.

I'm wondering what Christians think about dinosaurs.

Human evolution is such a hot topic, and lots of Christians are against the idea. But why don't I ever hear of Christians being against the idea of dinosaurs?

Just because they aren't mentioned in the Bible, does that mean they never existed?

How do you explain fossils that have been carbon dated back to millions of years ago?

That God is trying to trick us or something?

Perhaps..

Ecc 3:11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

I'll take that as a tacit admission that you know your position is incorrect.

And one more time for the ladies at the back... Dinosaurs, never carbon dated, and quite possibly endothermic.

 

[ContentInHim]

Anybody but a non-christian asking questions in this forum is debating. This is not a debate forum. Post your response, clarify if necessary and move on. *shrug*

Seems you are correct about carbon dating Dino bones. Instead of dating the bones rather most dating of fossils is done by dating nearby lava flows or other igneous or metamorphic rock assumed to have lost all daughter products and been "set" at the time of the dinosaur or other fossil formation.

Indeed... however, the dating method involved STILL isn't carbon dating, its other forms of radiometric dating.
