  • 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.

Then you'd better start rethinking:Going into denial might help too --- just pretend it isn't a dinosaur.

Bull. You can spout pointless gibberish from the Bible as much as you like, the only effect it has, is I get lulz from it. actually knowing someone believes that rubbish is hilarious.

If you want me to take your claims of a reptile with a navel seriously, THEN FIND ONE.

Otherwise, they're no different from Cave Trolls, Goblins, Orcs and Uruk'hai.

FICTIONAL.

is it not possible for them to find fossils as well and use that for inspiration? no the only possible answer is that they lived side by side with dinosaurs lol!

By attacking Evolution, your also attacking the methodology that led to it. In essence your attacking science. Good luck with that.

They are either not pictures of dinosaurs (anything that looks weird you guys claim are dinosaurs) or they are fakes. Hey, if I paint a saurapod that looks like a plush toy on a rock and claim I found it in an old cave, will you buy it?

Has our resident crop of creationists forgotten how it is that we know that dinosaurs existed in the first place?
Well, let's see --- first you find a nest of bones.

Then you assemble them into something.

Then you call this something a "terrible lizard".

From there, you build a whole world full of these things meandering around all over everywhere.

Then you realize that, since you called it a lizard, it can't have a navel.

Thus Behemoth in the Bible gets plutoed because it doesn't fit the computer model of a dinosaur.

Did I peg that right?

(I can easily get you guys to pluto other dinosaurs by simply stating that one flew past my window; then watch the plutoing begin as you scramble to hold on to your sacred belief that dinosaurs and man never co-existed.)

Yes, I'm going back 10 pages for this. Sue me!
I guess it all depends or your presuppositions. For it is not the similarities that will cause the right conclusion. But the differences.
It is true, science and creationism start with very different suppositions. Science starts with the fact that the universe really exists, can be accurately observed and measured, and that we can make accurate predictions about it. Creationism starts with the supposition that a 2000 year old is true and should be interpreted literally no matter what reality tells us. Guess which one gives us more useful answers?

The Ica Stones have been proven to be a complete hoax created by Basilio Uschuya. He admitted so in several interviews. By your logic this proves that all of Creationism is wrong. I win!

Close, AV -- except it wasn't "us guys" doing it -- it was the people who have been accidentally stumbling across those bones for hundreds, if not thousands of years.

Then you realize that, since you called it a lizard, it can't have a navel.

Assuming, of course, that dinos were in fact lizards -- the taxonomy gets a bit complicated.

Thus Behemoth in the Bible gets plutoed because it doesn't fit the computer model of a dinosaur.

Behemoth had a navel?

Did I peg that right?

Close -- probably right enough to satisfy yourself.

(I can easily get you guys to pluto other dinosaurs by simply stating that one flew past my window; then watch the plutoing begin as you scramble to hold on to your sacred belief that dinosaurs and man never co-existed.)

Your admiration or your own powers is duly noted.

You have shown once again your penchant for sophistry and word games. Non-avain dinosaurs did not live with man. Period. Done. T rex, Triceratops, Stegasaurus, Apatasaurus and Velociraptors did not exist at the same time as man did. Is that "plutoed" enough for you? Are you sure you were never a Pharasee?

The only bits you got right....

Then you call this something a "terrible lizard".

Bit more complicated than that.

From there, you build a whole world full of these things meandering around all over everywhere.

As opposed to....what?

Then you realize that, since you called it a lizard, it can't have a navel.

Lol, you make so many lame trick questions up about navels I honestly thought that this was a joke, but no, lizards aren't placental, so....

The existence of dinosaur eggs also

Thus Behemoth in the Bible gets plutoed because it doesn't fit the computer model of a dinosaur.

I think you're using the term "pluto" a bit uncharitably. At least Pluto exists, there is no reason to believe, however, that Behemoth does

Did I peg that right?

Not really.
2/7, could do better.

(I can easily get you guys to pluto other dinosaurs by simply stating that one flew past my window; then watch the plutoing begin as you scramble to hold on to your sacred belief that dinosaurs and man never co-existed.)

Not as easy as it is to watch the /threading begin as we point out the obvious flaws in your argument, which is nothing but semantics.

Bye now

Btw, I don't need to think you need to resort to past lives to think of someone as a Pharisee.

Their "leaven" is still alive and kicking, so to speak.

Good --- since you don't like Phariseeism, I take it you're willing to realize that there just might be an exception to lizards having navels?

If not --- then I'll stick with the "leaven" that the Bible pwns evolution back to where it came from.

No.

Phariseeism applies only to religious beliefs.

And I'm not the one here insisting my religious beliefs (more specifically, my interpretations of the Bible) are the correct ones.

If not --- then I'll stick with the "leaven" that the Bible pwns evolution back to where it came from.

Case in point.

You guys go ahead and talk yourselves out of the points I made.

I'll be glad to restate them later as the need arises.

I'll say it again: the Bible portrays a dinosaur as having a navel, and if a dinosaur having a navel is sufficient to falsify evolution, then I'll consider evolution falsified.

Those of you who don't believe Behemoth was a dinosaur can kindly ignore this post.

I'm sure we'll be discussing it aplenty in upcoming threads.

Sure. You are adept at repeating yourself over and over, even when clearly demonstrated to be wrong.

The Bible says nothing about dinosaurs. Show me where the Bibel uses the word "dinosaur."

Those of you who don't believe Behemoth was a dinosaur can kindly ignore this post.
And all Christians are vampires becasue they drink Christ's blood. Those of you who don't believe that can hardly ignore thus post.

I'm sure we'll be discussing it aplenty in upcoming threads.
Why not? You repeat your mistakes over and over instead of correcting them. And you are somekind of authority on the Bible?
