I've a middle aged nephew and his wife that accepts everything Dr. Dino says as fact. I've the sense they have been led to believe they must accept Dr. Dino's teachings to prove their faith in God and Jesus Christ or heaven will be lost to them. That's scary as heck.
I have severe reservations with both the evolutionary crowd and these folks like Dr. Dino. I'm satisfied believing God knows how all came into being. I think the truth is yet to be discovered.
Funny (or sad) as it may sound, I posed a couple simple questions to my nephew in regard to time. One of the questions was, "Is a day today equal in actual time to a day say a thousand or 5,000 years ago?" He told me the Jews had developed a clock at the dawn of time and it has remained constant ever since. How it was possible for the Jews to construct such a clock before they were created baffles me. How my nephew could believe this baffles me more.
The Dr. Dino crowd do the same exact thing the evolutionists do. They try to make things fit their theories, but really only succeed in misleading people.
I'm sorry to hear about your nephew.
"The Dr. Dino crowd do the same exact thing the evolutionists do. They try to make things fit their theories, but really only succeed in misleading people."
I'm also sorry to hear you believe we intentionally mislead people. That isn't true, but I understand why you believe so. I suspect you have been exposed to a strawman version of the theory and the evidence for evolution. I suggest you visit Ichneumon's and PatrickHenry's home pages to get more accurate information. If you feel they may be too biased, I suggest you visit talkorigins.org which is a resource for information from biologists and other evolutionary scientists whose only concern is imparting accurate information. All of the articles at talk origins cite the primary or secondary (which cites the primary) documents their information comes from. (This is true of both Ichny's and PH's sites as well).
