Do you belive that Dinosaurs once existed? I posted this morning about the "bucktooth dino" lol...I got the link from aol's welcome screen (yes flame me i r 1337 aoler), well then there was also a message board for that link. On there there is a buncha bible people saying dinosaurs never existed and how darwins theory is bs....well i was wondering do a lot of the christian population belive that? so Do you belive that Dinosaurs once existed? And how does that play in with ur belife of god and creation?

 

[amnesiac]

So do these good, God-fearing Christians want to explain the large skeletal and fossilized remains that we find from archeological digs?

 

[chiwawa626]

Nope but the one that emailed me from the message board who told me my views on darwin were wrong got a reply from me about that, but lets see what he says...lol

Umm, yeah I believe that dinosaurs existed, ever been to a thing called a museum. Go check out the nice collection of bones they have, or go find some of your own. I have several teeth, and different bone pieces that I found locally. Can be quite fun, just keep records of where you found them for future reference. Me, I lean towards the evolutionary theory.

I always wondered how scientists know the color of the dinosours skin as well as their texture. Anyone?

They dont, but their educated guesses on what they prolly did look like and feel like based on their environment and surroundings. For all we know, dinosours could have been white, and died from skin cancer

They just think they look similar to current reptiles.

If you don't believe in Dinosaurs, how do you explain the skeletons of them?

 

[Ameesh]

its nuts but some people on this board believe the earth is only 5-10 thousand years old!

Do you belive that Dinosaurs once existed?

Uh, yeah.

Too add a little more to this thread, here is a link to some so-called evidence of the Big-Bang Theory, it's on cnn.com so I'll let you decide.

This has been a while but I saw this thing on Discovery about this one dinosaur fossil that they found that was like a cast of the surface of the skin. It was pretty neat.

Um..... yes.

 

[Red Dawn]

Don't worry, some religious zealot will post Bullsh!t saying that it proves that Dinosaurs didn't exist.

Note I said religious zealot..not religous person.

Hahahaha that is nuts. Oh well I guess they can believe whatever they want.

And yes I believe in Dinosaurs. I do not believe in Creationism in the strict sense. I'm not entirely sure where I stand on the whole God/non-God issue. But I certainly believe in Evolution.

Lets just be clear here, God and Evolution are not mutually exclusive.
Just because some Religious folk refuse to use their brains for anything more than keeping in the inside of their skulls warm, doesn't mean they are all like that.

No. Those things you call "fossils" are actually all part of a huge conspiracy by Fisher Price in getting kids all excited about 50 foot lizards so that their parents will have to blow all their hard earned savings on "dinosaur" toys.

"Hello? Hi...is this Mr. Oliver Stone?"

Satan planted them to fool us! At least that's what several people I know have claimed :Q

 

[datalink7]

No, they never existed. It would be quite impossible for dinosaurs to exist. After all, the earth is only 6000 years old, and there is no recorded instance of dinosaurs in the Bible. The bones were just put there by the devil to tempt us from the path of God. Do not believe those atheistic scientists. They do the work of the devil.

Believe in the Lord and trust his word (the Bible), and you will see the truth.

 

[HappyPuppy]

Dinosaurs did NOT exist. Satan put the bones here to lead mankind astray. Judging by the comments I have seen thus far, he has been quite successful.

Edit: Damn, somebody beat me to it.

Hey there are fools that really believe that.

I know, I have met one.

Probably the same fools that partake in the "Flat Earth Society" or think the moon landing was a hoax.

Run for the hills!

forget something?

 

[djheater]

They have found soft-soil fossils that have retained impressions of the dinosaurs skin texture.
They could have been any color or colors...

Evolution is a theory true... based on scientific evidence. It is by no means undisputable. Creationism is based on faith which is rationally undisputable.

 

[Red Dawn]

Don't you mean Creationism is based on faith which is rationally disputable?
