Did dinosaurs ever exist?

I think the bones were placed there by a prankster deity who otherwise has left not a single trace of its presence, and left the evidence there entirely consistent with dinosaurs existing millions of years ago with mountains of corroborating evidence... because, like, reasons and stuff.

Why would I deny the Bible? Of course some gusnt creatures existed. It is there for anyone to believe.

Actually I am not certain I have personally ever seen a dinosaur bone.

So are you saying that perhaps they might not actually be the bones of creatures that once existed? If so, why did you call them bones and not 'bone shaped rocks'? Surely you are merely speculating that they are bones?

I have already explained this one to you. It is posdible for God to have created the world with the bones in place to allow people like you believe a lie.

Not likely but possible. Any belief about something that can't be directly tested repeatedly is simply a belief, faith if you will.

The folks who wrote the Bible didn't know about dinosaurs. They were long gone by that time.

But the Bible authors did know about people, and had no trouble imagining Adam and Eve.

Is it possible for God to have created a flat Earth that is every way looks like it's (approximately) spherical? Yes - but what is the point of such a hypothesis? If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we may as well assume that the world is how it looks like even if we can't disprove the prankster God hypothesis.

Oh stop teasing me!!!
Trump doesn't! He makes me orgasm with every half-baked tweet twice daily...

Go on! You know the truth... bibles, dino's & left-wing conspiracies.

Tell us!!!

Did dinosaurs, according to you, ever exist?

Giant flying lizards? T-rex... they generally can't get the head to stick to the neck it's so heavy...

Come on... give it to us!!!

Make my day!!!

This sounds like the wrong forum, but I didn't start it.
The bible says there was chaos in the world shortly after creation. Since God is not the author of chaos, it simply says it became that way.
One theory among Christians is that Lucifer tampered with genetics and made huge creatures of some kind.
By the time man came into the picture they were mostly extinct already. There is mention of some large creatures in the O.T.
This is theology but makes more sense than evolution, because it started with something instead of nothing.

Comedy Gold.

It's 'cracka-jack' lunacy like this which keeps me coming back to these forums.

What? Are you saying dinosaurs did exist???

Noooooooooo!

Luckily you redeemed yourself with Satanic genetic manipulation!

Bit of a pity you seem to be referring to Isaiah (only mention of Lucifer in the old testament so far as I remember) in which Lucifer is actually an oppressive king (Nebezeha or something... Babylonian dude with a bad hair-do) and absolutely no mention of genetics.

But hey... at least it's madness!

Before Trump came along, I never thought there could be so much stupid all in one place. But now that he's on the verge of becoming 'a thing', you can't swing a dead cat anymore in America without hitting another big ball of stupid.

If I recall correctly you kept dodging questions about it as well as changing your stance.

But you do still call them bones. Why? Surely that is an unwarranted assumption?

Actually even a belief that can be directly tested repeatedly is only belief or faith supported by probability only. The more you test something the more probable that you are correct. The 'likelihood' argument works just as well for dinosaur bones as it does for anything else. They are not in different categories. Every time you jump up and down God might be pulling you back down to earth just to fool you that gravity exists. Not likely, but possible.
Every time you look at the sun, God might be making photons in the sky and sending them your way and there really is no such thing as the sun. Not likely but possible.
