Dinosaurs

[Lil' bag o' Waggy Bash]

How do Christians explain the dinosaurs? I've often wondered.

[truckfixr]

It all depends on which Christians you listen to.

Some Christians are Creationists and believe that man and dinosaurs coexisted peacefully together in the Garden of Eden.Death did not exist.All creatures were vegetarians.Then Eve bit the apple and everything went to shit.They also believe that the earth is between 5 and 8 thousand years old.

Some Christians are a little more practical and accept the reality that the dinosaurs lived and died millions of years before man came into being.

How how in the hell can you be so blind as to think all dinosaurs not only were vegetarians, but lived 8 thousand years ago at the most? that is shear stupidity and is obviously turning a blind eye to logic. there's so many things wrong with that. I mean, carbon dating alone proves that they lived a lot further in the past than 8 thousand years ago. And to think that someone would try to convince anyone that an animal whose body and physiology is completely fashioned to be a predatory animal ate nothing but fruits and vegetables makes me want to punch them in the face.

I said " some Christians believe..."

I personally don't see how they can be so blind to the obvious facts proven by science.If the dinosaurs hadn't become extinct,the creatures that would later evolve into man would have been a snack for a 'Raptor .

The truely sad part is that they try to present all their BS as if it were based on real science, and not some twisted version of the facts .

Google " Creationism" and you'll see what I mean.

religion is bullshit, dont beleive in any of it. + it makes you waste time of your life just to pray n stuff

[Lovley]

I've heard a theory that revolved around the story of there being "a world before ours", meaning the one before Man came here.. but that doesn't make sense, since there are dinosaur fossils on OUR world.

ehhhh, they think it's so crazy for apes to turn into man over millions of years, but they encourage believing in a man who created the earth in 6 days. Fucking twats.

Ho Hum, and so the cycle of having to read people's silly responses to an old question begins again.

Christians believe in dinosaurs. In fact, the fact that dinosaurs existed gives more credence to the bible's historical accuracy.

Job 40:15: Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. Lo now, his strength [is] in his loins, and his force [is] in the navel of his belly. He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. His bones [are as] strong pieces of brass; his bones [are] like bars of iron. He [is] the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach [unto him]. Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. The shady trees cover him [with] their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about. Behold, he drinketh up a river, [and] hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. He taketh it with his eyes: [his] nose pierceth through snares.

love,

Might as well throw Job 41 in there as well, the whole chapter is about a sea-dwelling "leviathan." I believe it says he breaths fire (more or less) among other things...

Yeah. If the other responses were silly then your response was absolute fucking shite.

"In fact, the fact that dinosaurs existed gives more credence to the bible's historical accuracy."

How? You didn't explain how.

That quote from the bible you gave suggests dinosaurs were created alongside humans within the last 8000 years: "Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee" I'm sure most would agree that it's a dumb philosophy given what is generally common knowledge about dinosaurs, e.g. they're a lot older than 8000 years and don't just eat grass.
