Having said that, it is my belief that one can not be a spiritually healthy, profitable or effective follower of Jesus Christ and distrust or dismiss any of his statements in the Bible.

You are free to believe what you wish. Free country. I don't recall off the top of my head where Jesus said that the dinosaurs were planted to fool humanity into thinking the Earth was much older than it actually was....

***Jesus said that the dinosaurs were planted to fool humanity into thinking the Earth was much older than it actually was....****

No, but you may remember when he said...


"And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,"

Jesus is treating the written account of Genesis as literally true and the basis of moral action.

In addition, he states that humans were created male and female frome the BEGINNING - a concept that evolution would utterly reject.

So you an't have it both ways. Either the evolutionists are right and Jesus is wrong or Jesus is right and the evolutionists are wrong. BTW, did you know that the Bible claims that Jesus himself was present at creation and was the agent through whoom God acted to create the world?

"God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;"

Go ahead and pray to the gods of evolution, Darwin, Gould, whoever they are. See if they answer you from the grave. As for me, I'll pray to Jesus Christ - I know he has the power to answer.
