BTW I don't know what he'll do if he ever realizes what a bryophyte is and how old they are. That will freak him out. 😀

The boy is dumb as a box of rocks and high as a kite. Just about anything will freak him out up to and including your avatar. He's probably sitting there right now thinking to himself: "Dude! It's a camel man and it's wearing sunglasses....but why isn't he smoking? Isn't he Joe Camel? This is freakin me out man. The camel said bryophyte. Woah dude....that was deep."
 
Very few dinosaurs lived to be 65 million years old. Rhamphorhynchus might have, but pterosaurs barely qualify as dinosaurs so fuck 'em.

It was🙂 It wasn't a parody, nor was it meant it to be flamebait.

Scientists do attempt to explain how life came from non-life with abiogenesis.

The problem with that is all the experiments either:

1) Involve an intelligent scientist
2) Require millions of years and/or a time machine

So you have to pretty much take it on faith that life arose spontaneously from the chemicals and energy present on early earth. There's no way to conduct sound science that proves the timeline. Evolution that requires millions of years is not a testable scientific theory, it is proposed history.

Someone will post the font color-change paragraph as a visual analogy, but it's not comparable, since there is no way to directly observe or test past events. You have to make assumptions about (i.e. put faith in) past events regardless of whether you accept the current scientific chronology or biblical chronology.

Thanks for a decent reply🙂
There is neither proof for evolution nor creationism, so that's why it's impossible to find out who is right. However, the idea that a supreme being created the earth and life (or even a literal interpretation of the Torah) makes far more sense than the big bang theory, at least to me.

Really? What's your proof?

Well, many people do say that dinosaurs existed 65million years ago.

I don't have any proof that the Torah (or faithfully translated Old Testament) is correct, no one does, but the evidence I have gathered to support my conclusion is:
life cannot come from non-life.
God was neither a male nor a female, so God doesn't have a physical form, which means God could've been eternal.
half lifing or radiocarbon dating could be inaccurate, it could've been tested incorrectly, there could've been something on or in the fossils that there wasn't supposed to be, etc., etc.

There could've been a million errors made when the evolutionists originally determined dinosaurs existed 6 million years ago. Or maybe they just flat out lied and made it all up or twisted things around.

The only 2 things going for evolution of which one is one of many things going for creationism--no absolute proof. The other is that some people look like monkeys, but that doesn't mean anything because my late bitch sounded like a wolf when she barked. We don't have any proof that dogs came from wolves.

Science doesn't prove anything. Never has, never will. Astonishingly, though, it just straight up works.

I don't have any proof that you're an actual human sitting in front a computer somewhere else. But to think anything else would be fucking stupid given the evidence.

Actually, the fact that they can interbreed is a good indicator.

Domestication and selective breeding of animals can bring about marked changes over a relatively short period of time (generations).

Holy shit. Was I ever this dumb when I was a bible thumper? 🙁

(in before you still are 😛)
 
This thread is now now about what you think the Dinosaurs tasted like.

For some reason, I feel like they should taste like beef, but their close genetic proximity to birds leads me to believe they should taste chicken or duck. Hell, alligator tastes kind of like chicken. It's just hard to fathom those huge hulking beasts tasting like a roast chicken.
 
Actually, some dinosaurs aren't 65m years old.

It's just that most of the younger ones can fly.
