Where do dinosaurs fit? Well not in the laundry room, I’ve tried that and let me tell you they make a mess and they eat all the detergent.
Lord protect us from ghoulis and ghosties and long legged beasties and things that go bump in the night.
I was visiting the Royal Tyrell Musem in Alberta, a fantastic museum that claims the most dinosaur fossils of any museum in the world, and an older gentlemen came up beside me.
We were viewing a large dinosaur skeleton and he commented.... “can you imagine facing one of those with only a spear”
Dinosaurs? They’re all around you, man, you can’t shake the wee beasties. Birds are dinosaurs!! They never left. I see some dinosaurs from where I sit typing this, eating some bread I put out about half an hour ago.
Land of the lost? Nah, land of the larks.
A more important question is this:
How many dinosaurs will fit in a VW Beetle?
“Yet many would be surprised to find that several centuries ago scientists did believe in dinosaurs, an ancient earth and in creation week.”
And they also believed in the humors, miasma, white superiority, corsets, etc.
My faith in the Lord is not dependant on any interpretation of Genesis. That the universe exists is testament enough to the Almighty.
This is a closed issue... dinosaurs lived with man, not before him. If you choose to give credence to what comes out of the public school systems, you will be an atheist and reject this claim, out of a religious ferver against the Bible. If you choose to live your life by the Bible standard and weigh all things by it alone, you will reject atheism, which is wholly contrary to the Bible.
Reconciliation between evolution and creation is laughable, but good entertainment for Bible believers, since we already know how this show will end.
Fortunately, there is no need to dumb down Creation to fit Evolutionary axioms.
A literal reading of the original Hebrew in Genesis can only mean a 6, 24 hour day creation, with man and the large dino’s created on day 6.
Unfortunately, the ‘system’ in its determination to deny God’s Creation, has tainted science with its philosophical assumptions and led many to believe that to be true, the Bible must agree with ‘science’ that has been tuned to not offend atheists.
Creation has legs, Evolution does not... yet.
I'm thrilled to look at them knowing what I'm seeing.
