Where are the dinosaurs?

[Nabobalis]

Because fossilization must occur through rapid burial where the animal must be buried alive. Since the flood, there has not been anything so catastrophic that can bury animals as big as dinosaurs alive and also be caused by water.

Fossilization of the dinosaurs occurred 65 million years ago. Those fossils would of had to survive a large amount of tectonic activity, coupled with fossilization being a rare process. However museums do have a large amount of dinosaur fossils.

There is no such thing as '65 million years ago.'

It's a decimal-placing error.

On paper I suppose.

Does Landru support 65 million years of history?

According to what? How were the age of the fossils found?

Does it matter?

 

[Nabobalis]

According to what? How were the age of the fossils found?

Radioactive dating of the rocks.

 

[Wiccan_Child]

According to what? How were the age of the fossils found?

Dinosaur fossils are generally found in sedimentary rock layers. By looking at the igneous rock layers above and below, which can be radiometrically dated, we get two dates, and we know the dinosaur dates from between those two.

 

[PROPHECYKID]

Radioactive dating of the rocks.

Which has many problems.

 

[Nabobalis]

Which has many problems.

No, no it doesn't.

You're avoiding though:

It appears that way, doesn't it? Not so.

I'm just wondering what observation on earth would lead a person to believe it was pancake shaped rather than orb shaped. Any idea?

You seem to think Isaiah was just a goat herder with no scientific knowledge of the earth.

I am pretty confident Isaiah saw the earth the way God enabled him to see it. Isaiah, being a prophet, could even see what the future earth would look like.

Why are you only interpreting it one way? You seem pretty convinced it only has one interpretation.

It's not so much about the interpretation, it's about knowing who Isaiah is, a divinely inspired prophet who even saw what God's throne looks like.

Isaiah wrote:

This is what the LORD says: "Heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool." (Isa 66:1).

And this is what Isaiah saw:

I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted...my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty...He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth. (Isa 6:1-5, 40:22).

If Isaiah was inspired to see the shape of God's throne above the earth, I'm pretty sure he was also inspired to see the shape of God's footstool (the earth).

Now I'm happy, you gave a satisfactory answer. This was what I was looking for since the beginning (even though I did lose sight of it for a while). Thank you

As for the question, I don't know what observation could make one think the earth was flat.

The reason why Eratosthenes was able to determine the earths radius was thanks to math that wasn't known when Isaiah lived.

 

[JoeyArnold]

No, no it doesn't.

Does radioactive dating have limitations?

 

[driewerf]

Ever heard of the Arctic circle?

What suggests that Isaiah was speaking about the Arctic Circle? Why not the Equator? Why not the 38th parallel? Why not the tropic of Capricorn?

 

[JoeyArnold]

What suggests that Isaiah was speaking about....

What Isaiah suggested was inspired by God: 2 Timothy 3:16.

 

[CaliforniaSun]

Does radioactive dating have limitations?

Yep, it can't make breakfast.

 

[JoeyArnold]

Yep, it can't make breakfast.

I asked if radioactive dating has limitations. You say sure, it can't make breakfast. Now I wonder if it can make lunch for an eight billion year old shark dinosaur with lasers on his head as seen from Austin Powers.

When is the next season of Dexter beginning?
I am curious to see what happens with Deb.
