goody homeschool, I have nothing whatsoever to say to Dr. Dino. He's entitled to his religious beliefs. It's a free country. He's a preacher, and he can preach whatever gospel he feels inclined to preach.

If he wants to preach the gospel of man and dinosaur living happily together, ain't no business of mine. I think he's wrong, but there's no requirement anymore that anybody get the gospel right. Live and let live is the way it is today.
Anybody is free to interpret the Bible any way he feels like, anymore, is the way you Protestants look on it, as I understand it. I am not a Protestant, and I don't hold that way, but live and let live. This is America.

I would wonder about someone who argued that God tried to fool man by pretending the universe is older than it is, for as it says in the Book of James 1:13 "Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man."

But, you know, "live and let live"? I don't think we're required to believe that somebody else's interpretation of the Bible is true. Right?

I mean, us Catholics outnumber you Protestants. So, if we got into a fight, maybe we'd win. But nobody fights about stuff like that anymore.

We all read the Gospel and believe in Christ, so that's all it takes to be saved, right?

More from James 1: "26   If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
27   Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world."

And in James 2: "14   What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
15   If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
16   And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
17   Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
18   Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
19   Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
20   But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
21   Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
22   Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
23   And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
24   Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only."

But it is an article of faith among the Protestants that faith is sufficient to be saved, and not works.

Tell me, do they read the Book of James?
