Dinosaurs were a specific family of animals, not all ancient animals were necessarily dinosaurs.

You have got to be kidding me! All the term dinosaur means is terrible lizard, it is not a genus, it is not a phylum, it is not a class, it is a latin term used to describe large reptiles that were dug up in sedimentary rock, like what would be caused through Noah's flood!

And by the way, what is your evidence of this so-called 65 million years ago theory? What is the genuiine evidence of this time period?

welcome to reality, Race. What on earth are you talking about? I've enjoyed destroying our local CT papers here with you in the past, and I enjoy your CT ping list, as you know it's tough to live here some days.

But sheesh, I had no idea you are a bible literalist. I can see from your posts that no matter what I, or anyone else on here tells you will change your mind on these matters, so I won't even bother.

You have your ideas (though I found your description of creation interesting, since 2 chapters later in Genesis we are told of a differing timeline) and if you, as a grown man, actually think there is no evidence showing the earth is a tad older than 6-10K years, and that modern day crocodilians are equal to brontosauri because the atmosphere is different which also, I suppose, accounted for Moses and the like to live for 100's of years, then Race, my friend, you are a lost cause.

Sorry.

Nope, you are wrong (again) Race. Dinosaur has always been a taxonomic term, from the time it was first devised. Dinosauria was originally a Class within the Order Reptilia, but has more recently been elevated to a Class in it's own right. Therefore, not only are Dinosaurs not just big, ancient reptiles, as you suggest, they are not even "reptiles" at all according to most taxonomic schemes.

"Dinosaur" is a Latin term used to describe a certain classification of animal -- not all reptiles of the period. For instance, pterosaurs were flying reptiles, but they were not dinosaurs. Dimetrodons were mammal-like reptiles, but they were not dinosaurs. You can play word games all you want, but you would be wrong.
