Hi son!

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Read the Harry Harrison Trilogy "West of Eden".

Publisher Comments:

Sixty-five million years ago, a disastrous cataclysm eliminated three quarters of all life on Earth. Overnight, the age of dinosaurs ended. The age of mammals had begun.

But what if history had happened differently? What if the reptiles had survived to evolve intelligent life?

In West of Eden, bestselling author Harry Harrison has created a rich, dramatic saga of a world where the descendants of the dinosaurs struggled with a clan of humans in a battle for survival.

Like your tagline!

The museum is riding a wave of creationist influence in America. Creationism, which holds that the Earth is just a few thousand years old and the biblical account of Genesis is fact, is central to a rash of furious arguments across America. From school boards in Kansas to elections in Pennsylvania, the 'debate' between creationism and evolution has become a political hot potato.

This author forgot the talking point (to be delivered with a snicker) that ID isn't creationism. I can see where it's easy to forget.

'They lived together without fear, for there was no death yet,' the voice intoned about Man and Dinosaur.

Strikes me as being poor theology, leaving science out of it.

Surely nobody claims that (parts of) the animal world became carnivorous as a result of the Fall of Man?

If dinosaurs were born prior to the Fall, but none die, don't we get a bit of a population problem before long?

President George Bush famously proclaimed: 'The jury is still out on evolution.'

Gen 1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

LOL

The scripture is correct, although often indirectly. The animal kingdom feeds on the plant kingdom.

True, very true - in a POST flood world.
I believe that the world was a very different place prior to the flood.
It was not given to man to eat meat until after the flood.

It was not given to man to eat meat until after the flood.

I'll buy that, if you like, although it seems highly unlikely that the evil men before the Flood would obey this law while breaking all the others.

LOL.

However, I do believe it was given to cats and other carnivores to eat meat. I do not comprehend how anyone can read the Bible to mean that Man's sin would affect the animals and what they eat.

[wallcrawlr]

God demonstrated he could close the mouths of Lions, why not all animals.

Or how long you do. :)

Sin entered the world by way of Adams fall, and death by that sin. Prior to that, it was a perfect world that didn't have death.

Some dinosaurs survived on Noah's ark.

I thought dinosaurs died out millions of years ago and Noah wasn't alive back then. How do they explain this?

This Noah comment really made me laugh.

I believe in the creation, but I have no idea how long a "day" was, as mentioned in Genesis. A day can mean a period of time. I don't usually get involved with the evolution vs. creation debate. I don't know how God created the earth and all the creatures on it. I'll just wait until I get to Heaven to find out exactly how the creation happened.

[wallcrawlr]

I agree...God will not judge us on what we believe about creation whether we get into heaven or not. Thats based on what we do knowing our sin, Christs suffering and Gods grace.

People need to hear the Truth and our fellow Freepers are part of the great commission.
If evo is true, God did not create, if evo is true, God did not save us.

[GrandEagle]

but I have no idea how long a "day" was, as mentioned in Genesis

We can look to Genesis for that answer:
Gen 1:13 "And the evening and the morning were the third day."
God says the same about each day of creation.
Again in Ex 20:
11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore

Ex 31:17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
