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.

T-Rex, a Carnivore or Herbivore?
- Thread starter Heaven-Sent
- Start date
I am confused as why we are even discussing this.Is there anyone on planet earth that is honestly advocating the idea that T-Rex was a herbivore? Why not ask an equally bizarre question such as did the ancient egyptians use rocket-ships to build the pyramids?
So true, but at least I got to discuss absolutely no large mammal parts in dino crap.

Much like plants, which were docile at one time, suddenly grew thistles after the Fall, some think that T Rex at one time had herbivorous teeth and a digestive system made for processing plants; that morphed into carnivorous teeth and a digestive system made for processing meat.
Both herbivores and carnivores have incisors, canines and molars; but a herbivore's teeth would be sharper by necessity,* as their teeth would need to cut grasses and chew vegetation.
* Someone correct me please, if I'm wrong here.

It's interesting how "modern" thought parallels "ancient" thought, when the subject is Christianity.I would imagine your right. There are some days that I am convinced that the patients of an insane asylum have taken over and now have access to the Internet!
Mark 3:21 And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.

Yes, there needs to be some correcting. There is absolutedly no evidence, biblical or physical, that plants were nicer before the fall. Biblically, this is merely an interpretation; not revelation. There is absolutely no evidence for T-rex having anything but a carnivorous diet.
Also, incisors, canines, and molars exist only in mammals. Dinos had none of them. Herbivorous dinos actually raked in pine needles (not grass because grass did not exist - check the coprolites) into their stomaches and allowed the gastroliths to mash the chow.
best,

Assuming the Fall occurred the year after the Creation Week, in BC 4003, that means that 1 year out of 6015 years saw plants being 'nicer' and T. Rexes as herbivores.
You may as well be looking for the Garden of Eden.
(For the record though, I don't think T. Rex existed until after the Fall.)

According to Kent Hovind, the T-Rex was a man-eater, and was otherwise known as Grendel in the historically correct account of BEOWULF. That brave Geat defeated the fiend by pulling off (not cutting off) one of its underdeveloped forearms.

Split Rock
Conflation of Blathers
How exactly did this "morphing" occur and why isn't it mentioned in scripture?
You are incorrect. T rex had nothing but serrated knife-like teeth. Similar examples among extant species would be sharks and komodo dragons. Neither of which eat plants. Plant eatering dinos, on the other hand, had batteries of flat grinding teeth for crushing plant material. This is what we get from biological and paleontological research, rather than armchair creato-speculation.

Viewing this from a Biblical perspective there is no evidence, either Biblical or scientific, for the belief that T-Rex did not appear until after the fall.

Were the Scriptures meant to discuss it?
Just how big do you want the Bible to be, anyway?
You were there, were you, and saw the first-generation T. Rexes?
