You are asking me to prove science by throwing away the one thing I rely upon more than anything else. It is funny that the evolutionists and anti-creationists want people who use the Bible as their foundation for what they believe, to prove their argument without it. Sorry, it does not work that way. I am not asking you to ignore wherever you get your beliefs from, and prove your argument.
I make no apologies for taking God's word in Genesis as absolute truth. In fact, it gives me great comfort and peace inside to know that there is a God behind all that we see. When I read in Genesis that God created everything in 6 days, I take that to include dinosaurs and man within those 6 days. If you choose by ignorance not believe this, because you choose to have science prove everything you believe, you are in for a big disappointment and much sorrow.
The book of Genesis is probably the most attacked book in all the Bible. It is because this is the very foundation for people of faith. Do you and others feel like if you can destroy a person's foundation, then you can destroy their faith, and at the same time prove your point and elevate yourselves? Do you really seek to do this and if so, does it give you great satisfaction to attack people who believe in the Bible?
Let's be honest, is it perhaps because you yourself either cannot or will not try to believe also?
By the way, just to answer your question you posed to me concerning dinosaurs, I direct you to a most interesting and exhaustive site to visit, if you have a mind that is not completely closed-minded. You might find the answers and more to what you asked from me, and to what you are looking for. http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/faq/dinosaurs.asp

Then you will accept that God created the animals AFTER he found Adam alone but he goofed after adam tried them all out God realized his mistake.

18
The LORD God said: "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a suitable partner for him."
19
So the LORD God formed out of the ground various wild animals and various birds of the air, and he brought them to the man to see what he would call them; whatever the man called each of them would be its name.
20
The man gave names to all the cattle, all the birds of the air, and all the wild animals; but none proved to be the suitable partner for the man.

From your Genesis site on what happened to dinosaurs.

"Post-Flood climatic change, lack of food, disease, and man’s activities caused many types of animals to become extinct. The dinosaurs, like many other creatures, died out. Why the big mystery about dinosaurs?"

Why did God command Noah take two of every living creature on the Ark only to let the post-flood changes kill them off? Did He change His mind?

No,I am asking you to provide evidence, other than the words in the Bible itself, that your interpretation of the Bible is correct.

What you are engaging in is the logical fallacy of circular reasoning- you are using the Bible to prove the Bible. That is not a compelling argument and it is not a basis for discrediting the scienctific evidence that is available to the contrary.

I am not asking you to ignore wherever you get your beliefs from, and prove your argument.

My personal beliefs as to the nature of God and religion are completely immaterial to my position regarding humans and dinosaurs interacting. I base that position on scientific evidence, not my personal feelings and emotions.

If you choose by ignorance not believe this, because you choose to have science prove everything you believe, you are in for a big disappointment and much sorrow.

The ignorance in this debate is on the part of creationists. You folks are the ones who are going out of your way to ignore all of the evidence.

Do you and others feel like if you can destroy a person's foundation, then you can destroy their faith, and at the same time prove your point and elevate yourselves?

I personally don't care what your religious beliefs might be. However, I am opposed to your conclusions regarding science. That's why I debate creationists.

By the way, just to answer your question you posed to me concerning dinosaurs, I direct you to a most interesting and exhaustive site to visit

I'm familiar with answers in genesis. Anyone who has been on the crevo threads for any amount of time will see that pretty much everything on that site has been discredited.
