Asked a christian if she believed in dinosaurs (pic)

[BossMadOne]

ok
one of you is wrong

I assure you that no where in the bible you will read that the earth is less than several eons (100,000,000 years) old. It also states that before man there were behemoths that walked the earth.


There is all kinds of silly things, like about Adam and Eve or the whole "Rapture" thing.. I mean its' just sad to listen to these statements being regurgitated. I hear the from time to time on campus. Some kid talking about the Rapture....

Usually when a Christian responds like that its when you let them be free to have their own beliefs as protected by the rules of civilized society.

[MaiArrendersi]

Religiosity is an instant 5 point attractiveness deduction. In her case that puts her around -1/10.

Strong this lol

[drock2190]

What if God put those dinosaur fossils there to confuse us?

What's your response to that you cheeky kunts?

Hey, the Earth could literally be a month old, and all the memories you have were manufactured to make you think you've been alive for years.

Can't prove me wrong.





Once again, the Bible doesn't say **** about the age of the Earth "in years". Stop parroting some dumb anti-religion crap you heard from an idiot hippie.

[MousePad]

this is how it went down... god, and the dinosaurs and the big bang.. all summed up right here

[BossMadOne]

As is the response to anything that contradicts religious beliefs...

GOD DID THAT TO CONFUSE/TEST US

Actually nothing is every confused or "tricky" in the bible. Everything backs everything... that is one of the arguments toward it's authenticity.

[Stalwart Steve]

have a verse to back that up? pretty sure its not in there

The bible is meant to be understood from a 'contextualist' perspective, not a literal interpretation. It's a book of fables, you only are supposed to take a way the meanings behind the stories. Not even a Christian...but how the fuk don't you know this? Not every Christian takes it word for word.

Lol at the lions and other predators not attacking everyone on Noahs ark which would not even have been big enough, according to the dimensions given to Noah in the Old Testament, to hold all the species alive today even excluding any dinosaurs. OMG it hurts my mind that so many people believe. OW.

I'm a Christian, but I also think it's a strong possibility that we are not from the planet, that is why we don't really fit into the "groove".

There is a chance we are actually a hybrid that was created by an alien race.

Imagine if you wanted to populate a planet but you couldn't' actually survive there "atmosphere wise" so you took something from the planet say a very old ancestor to what would be a ape, and add your DNA. You would create something like your self that can live on this planet.

[Hishiad]

Where in the Bible does it say that God DIDN'T create dinosaur's OP?


(I'm Christian and I believe he did create them)

[xXDMNKXx]

dinosaurs are great. I used to love those dinosaur sponge pills when I was a kid. put one in a big jar of water at night, wake up and it's a fuking dinosaur. can't explain that.

...I had completely forgotten those pills, strong NOSTALGIA

[The-BeAsT]

lol @ dinosaurs actually sparking a religious debate ITT

[SAILBRO]

Leave her alone OP she's not naive in her beliefs

Anyone who reads that and thinks that guy is remotely right is a moron. God gave you a brain to use, the Earth being 6000 years old doesn't make any ****ing sense whatsoever. None. Not even if you actually read what it says. Genesis is the beginning of the Age of Adam, not the beginning of the Universe (that part is glossed over thusly: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.")

thank you, seriously.
This is accurate for aspects of Genesis and other prophetical books in the Bible.

You gotta ask yourself, what drives you to WANT to believe that? --That is where your logical fallacy lies, is that you feel the need to feel that the "truth" is some profound bombshell thing.. its a pattern your brain searches for based on other patterns in life you have analogously fabricated, and now you are drawing unnecessary parralels between things without sense, driven only by your gut instincts and a hunger for the mysterious and unknown.

Thats where its illogical.

We already have the truth, its out there, its simple, its scary, but its the truth. Why deny what civilization already knows in lieu of something more "interesting"?

[BasedPrincess]

Not even if you actually read what it says. Genesis is the beginning of the Age of Adam, not the beginning of the Universe (that part is glossed over thusly: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.")

Let’s do a rough calculation to show how this works. The age of the earth can be estimated by taking the first 5 days of creation (from earth’s creation to Adam), then following the genealogies from Adam to Abraham in Genesis 5 and 11, then adding in the time from Abraham to today.

Adam was created on Day 6, so there were 5 days before him. If we add up the dates from Adam to Abraham, we get about 2,000 years, using the Masoretic Hebrew text of Genesis 5 and 11.3 Whether Christian or secular, most scholars would agree that Abraham lived about 2,000 B.C. (4,000 years ago).

So a simple calculation is:

5 days
+ ~2000 years
+ ~4000 years
______________
~6000 years

Wut say you to that?
