LOL. OK..I get your point. but.. (and i do not claim to be an expert on fossils) wouldn’t there also have been lots of finds of really big bones laying around?

Fossils are generally in rock formations, and have to be chipped free.

But there were large bones lying around for all of human history. These included the critters that went extinct at the end of the last ice age, such as mammoth and mastodon, saber-tooth tiger, cave bear, dire wolf and a bunch of others.

But dinosaur bones would not have been just lying about with the rest of the bones.

I’m not an expert either, but I play one on TV.

I’m sure they would have found big bones. I’m just not sure they would have known what to do with them. Laying around? Not if you believe the dinosaurs were millions of years before men. The bones would have been roughly the same place they are to day, give or take a few layers of dirt. I don’t believe the Dinosaurs were that old though.

Start watching some of the documentaries on Dinosaurs and listen to the commentary closely... I have rarely seen one of them that didn’t make the point in some part of the film that the bones of many dinosaurs, sometimes many species were located in what seemed to be an old river or body of water in vastly different parts of the world. I do know that the bones are more likely to be fossilized and preserved in a body of water because of the temperatures and sediment, but the number of them bunched up in one area are strange... unless there was some sort of global flood... hmmm.

I’m a sceptic by nature, so by nature I don’t believe everything somebody says. The subject of this article, if he is as the writer portrays it seems a little nutty to me, but that doesn’t invalidate every point he makes.

It never ceases to amaze me when folks call Christians closed minded and they, themselves just swallow and spit back out every bit of teaching they got in public schools as the gospel truth. I think we all tend to be a bit closed minded when it comes to our own beliefs, but I pray I never become so closed minded I forget how to learn, or so open minded my brain falls out.

Thanks for your responses. You made me think... Gordon
