the bible does not account for dinosaurs. we know that dinosaurs existed, and that means that god could not have existed, because it did not create them
Originally posted by RBHILLRBHILL, basically this guy is saying 'dinosaurs don't matter because your son will outgrow his fascination with them - just ignore all those nasty questions until your brain has forgotten how to ask them and they'll go away'. What idiot wrote this drivel?
Be blessed! on this reading to give you an idea.

Darfius, unlike toothbrushes however, the bible does have a creation account for life. It's pretty specific about how things are created. Let's treat it like science for a second. Does the bible predict dinosaurs anywhere? No. Oops, failed its test then. Does evolutionary theory predict dinosaurs? Not directly, but it does predict that dinosaurs, or for that matter any type of complex life, could exist.

All life? Or just enough detail to drill the point home that "God did it"?
It's pretty specific about how things are created.
"Beasts of the field" and "creatures of the sea" is specific?! Tell you what. I have a test for you, which if you fail, will lead to your labeling as an idiot. It's about something. Study hard.

Bad idea. The Bible is not and never claims to be a science book.
Does the bible predict dinosaurs anywhere? No.
Should it have? Explain why.
Oops, failed its test then.
I have a feeling you're going to fail mine, too.

Wow, that's impressive. "It predicts that complex life could exist". Rock solid theory there. But my 7 year old cousin Tommy could have told you the same thing.

>Hi RB Hill,
I would welcome the opportunity to engage in a serious debate if you could give me your thoughts on each of the questions.

Educate me

The bible is said to be the word of God yet there are 2 versions - the "old" and "new" testaments. Should we wait to read the next version or maybe read the Koran instead ?
