Sorry, but I don't believe in a literal 24 hour period for each day it took God to create the earth. I don't think God's sense of time is the same as ours. But again, I'm not going to worry about it. It really has no bearing on my eternal salvation.
This is what tyranosaur meat looks like:
The MSNBC version of the story can be read here.
Does any of that look like it's 70 million years old to you?
No problem, Have a great day!
Jesus Christ speaking regarding Adam and Eve:
Mar 10:6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
Not many people realize He said this! This speaks more to the Theory of Evolution than anything else.
Cinches it for me. Got no higher authority I can go to.
Yep! Excellent observation. Think Darwin read the Bible?
Okay.
I'll bite. (Pardon the expression.)
Why would God create animals designed (teeth, jaws, digestive tract, many other features) to eat meat if they were never going to eat meat unless man Fell?
You cannot seriously tell me that you can look at a cheetah, so wonderfully designed to run down prey, and believe that God's original intent was for it to eat grass. Until Man screwed up God's plan.
Or maybe you can.
From what I've read, Darwin started off his college as a theology student. However, he got bitter towards God and decided to change majors.
Many naturalistic philosophers during his time influenced him to take an obviously unbiblical approach to explaining the reality of life. Being that everyone misunderstood the microscopic aspects of life, his theory took wing on finches beaks (which we now know was just adaptation back and forth between big beaks and pointy beaks). The eye would have confounded him even more if he had known the extent of it's complexity.
Atheists have decided to continue towing the line, in order to avoid accountability to a superior being, despite the obvious. They put it out as quick as they can produce it. it should be called the UnDiscovery channel. And NOVAlue.
designed to eat meat
I dont know...but from Gen 1:29-30, it says they were designed to eat plants and the plants were treated like meat.
In Isaiah 11:6-9, "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. 7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den. 9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
I do not understand either why there could be a vegetarian piranha...but God says there was so thats what I believe.
You might notice that the quotation from Isaiah is in future tense. It is a prophecy about the future, not a historical statement about the past.
It is also not an enormous stretch to consider the whole passage a metaphor for changes in people.
ok, I can see that, but I see it as a verse that looks back and predicts the future too.
The dude in the verse is Adam. Adam was the only other perfect man besides Jesus...well that is for a limited time.
Ah, yes. The finches. I just figured God created them differently from each other. It would be pretty boring if ALL finches were the same. God takes everything into account, to the smallest details.
ahh, the memories...I posted that story on Fr:

If there was no death yet, why did God make predators such as the T-Rex? Doesn't fly, doesn't work. He had to eat something, the bible does say that Adam and Eve ate, so it would appear all the creatures alive at that time must have eaten, a T-Rex was designed to eat meat, therefore it had to kill something or find a dead animal in order to eat.
