Asked a christian if she believed in dinosaurs (pic)

[ImpressiveGainz]

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?

Do you ever feel like we are a giant ant farm and God is out there somewhere, all knowing, omnipresent, just fuking with us?

Its a like a giant labyrinth he made, to get to believe you have to overcome a lifetime of temptation, logic, and fleshly sin, you have to be born in the right place at the right time, making it a journey. And if you fail like you are tempted to your whole life, you get the most over-done over the top punishment ever, (which most are expected to suffer minus a few chosen (insecure) few) and then you are sent to eternal suffering with no end in sight in hell. Just there, burning, pain. Never stops. Never will stop. No hope to stop suffering for all eternity. Burning pain feeling x1000.

Forever.

God is good. God is merciful.














God is the most evil concept in the history of stories.

So to discredit one man's word (the Bible) you'll use the estimations and assumptions of another? (the author)


My biggest thing is this....who is defining what a day actually is in the Bible?

[jzr1991]

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.

I'm guessing this is trolling, but if not:

We don't fit in the "groove"? It's the exact opposite, it's almost perfectly developed - evolved, you might say. And lucky..or inevitable. All the things we needed to become, and to survive came about at the same time, and allowed us to evolve in to what we are. We have evolved from living on this planet, and it can be seen in evolution (amphibians coming out of the water and walking/turning in to primates as you see in cheesy science videos), so to say that we don't fit the groove is completely off the mark.

Yeah there's a chance we were created as a hybrid by an alien race - an infinitesimal one. I can't even comprehend what you're getting at with the populating a planet that you can't inhabit, so you get an ape (how can an ape survive but not human?) and inject it with human DNA..?

I'm no expert on evolution but COME ONNN! Give dawkins "The God Delusion", it's good at conveying facts that should be presented, that can logically disprove most theories (creationism/intelligent design) and shows logical fallacies held by these groups.

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)

Checkmate, atheists. Where in the bible does it say that God DIDN'T have greasy bum sex with the devil and was secretly a muslim?! a-haaaaaaaaa

They can lift 10 times their bodyweight at least, while we only lift 1-3x or so.

so they do have superior lifting ratios. I wonder how hard it is for them to hit their macros on a daily basis...

Dunno if you've seen this, but it hits this point hard. Quite intense

[hotpajamas]

only according to science
http://humanorigins.si.edu/resources...uman-evolution

according to the bible, adam was created from the earth and eve from adams rib


you get to choose what you believe in for yourself

there is nothing i hate more than statements like this. you do not choose truth based on a personal whim. science is as close to truth as can get whether any of us accept it or not. that's why is has any value in the first place. anyone that walks around in their daily with modern medicine and engineering all around them AND STILL goes to every length to fulfill their idiotic dogma is as close to insane as I could possibly ever guess.

"only according to science"... good grief. ONLY according to science.. lol. you're not even embarrassed is the most pitiful part.

[skullcrusher45]

The bible never explicitly speaks to the earth's age, especially in terms as exact as 'thousands of years'. The 6,000 year Biblical age of the earth was an estimate made by someone who assumed a literal seven day creation period and then made estimates based on the genealogies in the book of Exodus (at least I believe it was Exodus that contains the genealogies). The debate that I think most of you are engaged in centers on whether the 7 days of creation represent 7 24-hour days, or 7 epochs. This is still subject to intense debate in the Christian community. So yes, there are still many Christians (in my estimation at least half) that still believe in a 6k year old earth.

Then again, to put the entire debate in perspective:

[dweeegs]

Two things.

First: this is almost like race threads, trying to bait people into arguing. There's a religion and politics section, and you would've posted over there if you weren't trying to stir up something.

Two: Stop generalizing Christians (everyone itt). This article (http://www.pewforum.org/Christian/Gl...nity-exec.aspx) says there are over 2 billion of them, I had always thought over 1 billion personally. They range from Protestant to Catholic to hundreds of other branches, but you guys are right we all believe dinosaurs aren't real and the earth is 6,000 years old

Why do you think all Christians literally believe all words in the Bible? I was taught in my Catholic schooling that the Old Testament was written by Jews who were in exile, stories that would help them get through their hardships. And the Adam and Eve story is a creation story. But that's it! Just a story! Not a literal history.

I don't know what I call myself. I do believe there is something greater than us. I do believe in evolution. I do believe in the big bang. I don't hate homosexuals. But stop with the religious hate. I work at soup kitchens a lot serving food to homeless people, and the church that I belong to back home started a programs to gather casseroles to donate to shelters. But you guys are right, all religion is a bad thing. All of us are like Westboro

[Scoundrel]

it is since the bible says earth is ~6,000 years old

so in theory, they cant believe in dinosaurs if they actually lived before that

[NutellaBrah]

Better than no education (see this is me implying you're uneducated).

Dude,

youre from Tenesseee

Do you realize how out of touch you are with normal civilization?

Are you aware there are people from areas like you that suffer from a condition that makes them incapable to have fully formed societal norms due to the closed system nature of small towns and country ass places where communication is reduced and social richness is scarce leading to under-development of its citizens resulting in stunted maturity levels and overall coonery?

Plz stop talking openly in the public sphere like that.

[ImpressiveGainz]

Two points:

1) In the OT, so technically Christians, Muslims and Jews

2) Not actually in the OT you dumb****

[Stalwart Steve]

My biggest thing is this....who is defining what a day actually is in the Bible?

Probably the hundreds of thousands of scholars that have been dedicating their lives to translating it over the past few thousand years

[NutellaBrah]

Wait what if god didnt flood the WHOLE earth, just the part when Noah was to teach him a symbolic lesson.

But God never lies.

Damn

God sure was angry.

But God is beyond feelings.

But then again it does say God has all these reactions in the Bible like when he gets jealous

CRAP.....

should I still believe???

The irony of a guy on an internet forum in his underoos with no location associated with his username is telling ME that I'm out of touch with civilization?


Newsflash, we have the same internet as the "civilized" world, I drive a car, use indoor plumbing, and even married a non-relative. But good luck with your stereotyping goals in 2012.

[Stalwart Steve]

Pls go with the "Bible is not to be taken literally" shyt

If it's not to be taken literally, then what are we supposed to do with it? If it's not meant to be taken literally it's called FICTION. I don't see anyone going around worshipping Sauron or something. The values presented in the Bible are just memes that evolved over time in the middle east, collected in some anthology of unverifiable anecdotes. If you do not take it literally, you're hardly a Christian, just a person that espouses the mores of ancient people because it's socially acceptable.

[NutellaBrah]

One min I have goosebunmps...

brb watching...

Im already loling that the intro was so epic tho. will see how it pans out...

EDIT: 3 min in and its still epic. I hope this goes somewhere as good as its potential promises.

EDIT 2: In the end it was as epic as it seemed it would be. Tempted to show to my Christian father and see how he reacts and what type of defense mechanism it would invoke in him just for laughs lol.

Very well made vid thanks for posting hadnt seent it yet

yet you're still a gel-haired fatass that believes in sky wizards and probably Santa Claus

[Tes45]

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....

No it doesn't, there were behemoths that lived at the same time as the Pentateucheal Jews though.

The Bible DOES NOT state that the Earth is eons old, like you seem to believe for some idiotic reason.

There is simply a beginning to the Bible and if the creation story in that beginning is taken as it is written, then the Earth, according to the Bible, is definitely not older than 6,000 years.

[bilaba70]

Since when are dinosaurs a belief?

[Hishiad]

Probably the hundreds of thousands of scholars that have been dedicating their lives to translating it over the past few thousand years

Do they realize that Moses (a man) wrote the book of Genesis and they are making assumptions based on his telling of the story of creation?

[Gt3x24x7]

As a Christian I don't believe the Earth is only 6000 years old its all bull ****

Guess you can say I'm a mixed Christian with anthropological/evolutionist views with Christian beliefs

[Hishiad]

yet you're still a gel-haired fatass that believes in sky wizards and probably Santa Claus

Calm down.

[ImpressiveGainz]

yet you're still a gel-haired fatass that believes in sky wizards and probably Santa Claus

I still believe in Santa. U mad?
