I smell a troll.

I am not a troll for posting what is both my Christian faith and what I know to be scientifically factual.

There are no scientific facts that prove that dinosaurs lived 100 million years ago and there is much evidence that dinosaurs lived alongside man. See other posts about cave drawings of dinosaurs.

I smell a troll.

You've got it. Set the bait out and wait, see if any suckers bite.

FRiends, this is not a troll-attack, it's just a convention of young-earth anti-evolutionists.
And they are brought here by the very significant point of the above article: yes, there is an natural scientific explanation for that dino soft-tissue, tissue which has been a major piece of the anti-evolutionists' arguments.
So, they are here to deny or explain-away the scientists' conclusions.

And they have been posting on Free Republic probably since the beginning, certainly as long as I've been here. The new ones are likely just youngsters, fresh out of school, eager to argue the points they were taught.

And here is the most important point to remember: they are our friends and political allies, our neighbors & relations and as such we should keep in mind some rules:

Be as FRiendly as possible.
Be as patient as possible.
Take their claims in good faith and respond with facts and reason, also in good faith.
You do not have to take their insults lying down, but be reluctant to return insult for insult.
Never start a battle of insults.
Have fun!

For those who are worried that some Christians might give Free Republic a bad name... well... hmmmmmmm.... might be time to relax and consider: if this is as "crazy" as "crazy" can get on our side, then just think about some of the stark-raving lunatics on the liberal/progressive side of things.
Our side has all the good people!

FWIW...
