    How do you decide what to believe?

    RJ that was a perfectly reasonable question, are you saying in a roundabout way that that to attempt sensible conversation with you is pointless?

    Not really, you said what you would use- your mind, but not how you would use it.

    You want to know how I used my intelligent mind? I believe I use it logically and reasonably. 😏

    Ok RJ you obviously don't want to discuss how you reach decisions. But can you help regarding early humans and Dinosaurs? Did they have them as pets ( like in the Flinstones) and did they eat their eggs( what an omelette that could be) ? 🙂

    I can't provide you with all the details you ask. However, I believe they all ate vegetation and fruits of vegetation and not eggs until after the worldwide flood of Noah day when vegetation and fruits were less abundant. 😏

    Why did god allow so many of the Dinosaur species to drown in the flood?

    I don't know, but I suppose it is because His ways are higher than our ways. 😏

    RJ, since you have an intelligent mind, why do you so often insist on using the stupid one when you make posts here?

    I do not believe you have the intelligence to tell the difference. You are one of those that believe one is inteligent when they claim that a dinosaur bone that has soft tissue is 65 million years old. 😏

    Well, you see RJ, I'm not a paleobiologist and can't really make a strongly informed comment about those results. But that was the result she got. Sadly for you the presence of soft tissue does not change the age estimate of the dinosaur bones, although it does mean that the prior understanding of the dynamics of fossilization were incorrect. Since they haven't found any DNA yet [1] the headline was utterly misleading.

    Also I don't make claims about intelligence on the grounds of beliefs. Holding contradictory beliefs might be a bad sign, claims of "near genius" almost certainly are.

    [1] or more accurately, according to Schweitzer's Wikipedia page two papers have claimed to have succeeded in extracting some DNA, but its presence is unconfirmed.

    Thanks for the confirmation. Just as I thought. 😏

    It doesn't matter what you think, the bones are 60+ millions of years old. Your thinking you are intelligent doesn't change that fact Jack.
