Dinosaur herd buried in Noah’s Flood in Inner Mongolia, China
by Tas Walker Published: 14 April 2009
An international team of scientists have uncovered graphic evidence of the deadly terror unleashed on a herd of dinosaurs as they were buried under sediment by the rising waters of Noah’s Flood in western Inner Mongolia (figure 1).[1]
Dinosaur bones were first discovered at the site, located at the base of a small hill in the Gobi Desert, in 1978 by a Chinese geologist. After about 20 years, a team of Chinese and Japanese scientists recovered the first skeletons, which they named Sinornithomimus, meaning “Chinese bird mimic”.
A few years later in 2001, the international team excavated the remains of more than 25 dinosaurs, creating a large quarry in the process as they as they followed the skeletons into the base of the hill. Remarkable excavation
As the team carefully mapped the location of the bones and strata that contained them (figure 2), it became clear that the dinosaurs were all within the same layer of mudstone (i.e. the same bedding plane), generally facing the same direction and remarkably well preserved.[2]...

One of my father “thedeacon”’s favorite quotes is “When the sense of Scripture makes perfect sense, seek no other sense.”
I believe that the Bible is a theological and literal book that uses figurative language that Hebrew was so well known for.
First, the beginning of Genesis is about God’s creation and the fall of mankind. The rest of the Bible is about God trying to bring His creation back to the perfect state He created them in. Christ was mankind’s salvation from eternal damnation, and when He comes the second time we will be returned to our perfect bodies. In this sense, it is truly irrelevant to your eternal soul whether or not the earth is 6 billion or 6 thousand years old.
The Bible is literal so it is safe to count the ages, times, and people mentioned in the Bible to get an approximate age of the earth. Science and creation both argue for YEC.
I believe you were trying to say that the Bible is “errant” instead of “inerrant.” I would say that the Bible is inerrant. In it’s original form, the Bible is perfect. Coming back to the curse we are under because of Adam’s sin, humans are not perfect. Therefore, you will have different translations of words. Also, there is much of ancient Hebrew that is still cloudy.
The study of science has always been close to those who believe in God. Let’s look at the fact that many of the founders of science were believers who were studying His creation. (Galileo, Pascal, Boyle, Bacon, Newton, Faraday, Mendel, Pasteur, and Sandage, just to name a few) As Christians, we seek out the truth of science, so the theory of evolution, even in theistic evolution is absurd to me because I believe God created the earth in 6 literal 24-hour days.
I serve a God who is not restricted by any means...
What about the people that were born before Christ but died after him?
Gee, we really have to teach the controversy. After all, when I studied chemistry in high school we were taught valence theory, but the 1869 table was basically the same. Then I went to college and we learned bonding theory, but,funny thing, the table remained basically the same. I have no idea what new wonders have been added, aside for the transuranic elements, but I’ll bet it is not what it was in 1958, but I’ll be the basic table remains pretty much the same.
When I was a child I could see that people and animals had bodies. Then in high school, we dissected a frog and I saw we animals had hearts, lungs, blood vessels, skeletons, etc. Then in college I took a histology course, and learned that all these tissues were made of cells, and each cell had it’s own characteristics. I could also see these cells had nuclei, a cell membrane, and other parts. Later electron microscopy was developed and we could see mitochondria, viruses and other very tiny parts. Finally the double helix was discovered and now we can track family and racial lineages through DNA and mitochondria.
Was I wrong as a child when I “knew” people and animals had a body. Is the periodic table wrong because knowledge of the complexity of atoms and particles has grown over the years? Is the Bible wrong because we have much greater knowledge of the world and its history? No, the thing that is wrong is people who prefer to stay 2,000 years stuck in the past, or 1300 years in the past in the case of Muslims. God is only glorified by our discovery of the great complexity of the universe. God is diminished by those who are not willing to learn truth. After all, God left the “tree of knowledge” in the Garden. Having eaten of it, we are obliged to pursue knowledge as God may have intended.
Perhaps your 6 literal 24-hour day belief is based on the imperfections of different translations?
Nice chart. A study was made of SAT scores of various post secondary student bodies. People attending fundamentalist schools, like Bob Jones, etc. had much lower SAT scores than other groups.
Have at it!
So write it for us now. What words do you use?
Lol- anytime hte ‘flood’ is mentioned, the thread explodes- After all “There isn’t any evidence of a world wide flood” Despite hte FACT that there really is evidences like this- plenty!
But the KJV "authors" weren't writing the Bible; they were translating the ancient Hebrew and Greek languages to create an English translation of the Bible. They still didn't have the technical language we have today. The Apostle John wrote the original document in the first century. Sorry I wasn't clear, and thanks for asking for clarification.
Yep, the flood drives the Evos up the wall. Do you suppose they are secretly afraid God might send another one if we talk about it? LOL
So, according to Dalrymple, K-Ar or Ar-Ar are the only methods that have little or no concern for the presence of initial daughter isotopes. This means that all the other radioisotope-dating methods (excepting isochron methods) are brought into serious question.
This article answers some of the young-earth creationist claims about the inaccuracy of radiometric dating.This article does the same and is a little more complex, but should be understandable by non-scientists. This is a list with links to articles about the age of the earth as determined by radiometric dating. This page shows calculations regarding a point I've made before about young-earth claims that radiometric decay rates were much higher in the past. If decay rates were orders of magnitude higher 6,000 years ago, the earth would still be really, really hot.
This article answers the claims that radiometric is based on circular calibration methods.
Finally, this short article on stratigraphic dating is relevant to your original post.
I hope that you had a blessed Resurrection Day, GodGunsGuts. While creation (however and whenever God did it) is a wondrous miracle, the best miracle ever is that Jesus Christ died for you and me and rose on the third day so that we may have everlasting life.
"Thus I establish my covenant with you; Never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood; never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth." Genesis 9:11
What's the matter? Don't you read your own science texts? </sarcasm>
Maybe the speed of light is slowing down?
Why don't you and the heretic take a break and leave these good people alone. Or go to that great Catholic School and get a degree along with that other great Catholic Obama.
i had dinoriders!
Only the fool has said there is no God, in his heart. You may think that you are not the fool, even so you are a crass individual, whose post have nothing to add to the faith building efforts on these posts.
Give your true identity as a tool of Satan, every Christian here already knows that.
Yes, I read the Bible quite alot. I just figured that since the Evo-atheists don’t trust God, maybe just maybe they’ve got it in their head that God might just send another flood anyways. Isn’t that what the Evos are constantly telling us re: global warming? Namely, that all of our coastal cities are going to get flooded and submerged because of our “sins” against the Earth?
I did indeed. And I hope you had a blessed resurrection day as well, DM!
All the best—GGG
But unlike creationism, the whole global warming stuff is constantly reviewed, constantly tested, and alternate scenarios are offered. I suppose we could say that God will hold back the flood waters but there is no science in that.
