Cleaning the T. Rex cage must have been interesting
Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal ^ | May 23, 2007 | Marty Russell

I would hate to have been the guy whose job it was to round up and herd a couple of T. rexes onto the ark.

This Memorial Day weekend marks the opening of the new Creation Museum in Petersburg, Ky., which purports to tell the history of the world based on creationism instead of evolution...

I agree there isn’t any widespread evidence, but as they say “absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.” People have been trying to discount the existence of the ancient nation of Israel simply because of limited current archaeological evidence.

Potential evidence falls in at least three areas:
Historical eyewitness accounts
Ancient artwork and artifacts
Fossilized footprints

Some of the evidences provided have been questionable (but no more so than the many false “missing links” that have been brought forward), but others are more intriguing and hard to discount. As a body, they provide an interesting and believable framework that happens to agree with the Biblical accounts.

So...

Was Jesus lying to the Pharisees when He claimed that Moses wrote about Him?

Or do you also not believe what Moses wrote about Jesus?

it is blueprint for how to live a better life, and it gives a good reason for doing so ('cuz He says so, and that's all you need). It does not offer insights into geology or astronomy any more than "Gone With the Wind" offers insights into the GDP of Russia during the era of the czars. It wasn't written for that purpose. Science does exist to do that, and it does a pretty good job of it. What makes it even better is that the scientific method openly welcomes criticism, dissent, change, and better explanations. The truth wins out in the end, and that's all that matters. That's a system that deserves respect, too.

Dang, just a tad too long for a tagline.

No such thing as a brontosaurus. I think they found out they were wrong about it in some way, and renamed it entirely. Though I don’t remember why they did that nor the new name.

That’s not the Bible—I’m looking for the specific Bible references that say (chapter and verse) that man and animals were not meat-eaters until *after* the flood.

I am aware of that, but almost nobody knows the new name.

You didn't, did you?

The thing is, if dinosaurs lived with in the last 6K years there wouldn't be a need for searching for a few footprints in a creek bed or cave drawings that vaguely resemble something. There would be overwhelming evidence so much so that there wouldn't even be a conversation about it.

We know dogs and horses co-existed with us. If every living dog and horse died we would still know this because there bones lie along side our ancestors for millennia.

Same with deer, rabbit and fish whose chewed remains predictably turn up in millennia old settlements. There is no debate on these animals because the evidence is overwhelming.

If dinosaurs coexisted with us we would see them, unmistakably, in the art and garbage pits of early man.

Reason seems to be in the eye of the beholder. Josh McDowell, Lee Strobel and others would argue that they WERE reasoned into being Christians.

The Bible says God made the dinosaurs with man. They both lived peaceably, side-by-side, and were vegetarians. Neither man nor the animals were meat-eaters until after the flood. The terrible T-Rex may have become a meat-eater after the flood...

Yep, this sure looks like the teeth of a vegetarian to me:
