  • 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.

Regarding the OP (since I'm not wading through four pages with both John and AV together), it that Jack Horner is not wrong in the slightest.

When we have fossils, we can only tell that we have the fossils of that animal. It's virtually impossible to tell if a fossil could be connected to another as an adult and child unless they're found together. What also stymies it is that, while there was a massive number of dinosaurs, many dinosaurs in certain locales ended up following certain body types. Triceratops-like dinosaurs and Tyrannosaur-like dinosaurs were much more common across the area now called North America, while Velociraptor-like dinosaurs were more common in what is now Asia.

Unless you find fossils like the Miasaura which were found as adults AND infants emerging from eggs, it is virtually impossible to tell if certain dinosaurs aren't just infant/adult forms of dinosaurs instead of whole new species.

Yes but whales have lungs, not gills.

And according to evolution doctrine, lungs developed on land.
Yes, that's right, mammals came later we see in the fossils. Great, huge sea creatures existed before any mammals though!

why the bible stories don't align with reality,
Having read the bible through fully (entirely) 3 times, and having a degree in engineering physics, and much familiarity with mainstream science, I cannot think of any bible passage that doesn't align with reality. Of course, if a person does read through the bible fully, that's very unlike merely hearing some doctrines like the YEC stuff you could hear in some small minority of American churches. A person can read well (meaning to read through and never to just read for an agenda) and then they will see (from that more complete reading) a huge amount of figurative wordings and at times stylized representations in visions like the ones in Acts 10 or Genesis 1.

Whales ... before ... land animals.

No evolutionist worth his NaCl would dare say that on a secular test, would he?

I can make this harder:

Explain angiosperms before the sun.

Whales are mammals, and came later. But long before land animals, there were large sea creatures already, we see in fossils. Not whales, but other large enough sea creatures from that earlier time.

Just a few impressions of what some might have looked like from fossils:

480 million years ago, the Aegirocassis benmoulae



380 million years ago, the Dunkleosteus



These above were some especially ancient creatures, but after them came a number of truly large dinosaurs carnivores of the sea, frightening creatures.

Dig this one:

Mosasaurus was a ferocious predator in the ancient oceans of the Cretaceous period (145.5 million to 65.5 million years ago).
