I've had this photograph in my family for generations. My great-great grandfather, Chaplain Ecclesiastes Flint, took it while on patrol during the war against the North. I think it speaks for itself.

Amen, Brother, what a great photo!

If you send it to the Discovery Institute here in Seattle, all the Fundamentalist websites will post it the next day.

Great Jesus! What a way to put those evilutionists in their place.

Dear Sir, may I ask you what that is on the photo? I never have seen such a thing before.
Sorry for my lack of knowledge.

It's a group of people and a dead Pteranodon. Technically not a dinosaur but a winged reptile that was designed to eat fish much like seagulls and gannets do today.

The original fossil was found in Germany I think.

Re: Why Aren't Dinosaurs in the Bible?

There are a myriad of creatures not mentioned. Animals, etc were given to us so we could have dominion over them and do what we want with them.

Also, "scientists" (who I am slow to trust, granted) can't even agree of how many species there are on Earth. According to the latest counts, "scientists" have described over 1.5 million species of animals, plants and algae. (Others say there are 10 million, yet we have only identified 2 million.)

Does the "original" poster have any idea how much longer the Bible would be if they had to list all those animals??

It is hard enough to get people to read The Book as it is. God did not want to turn off even more people by dumping a book the size of 10 encyclopedia sets on them.

Thank you for the explanation that even a girl could understand, Sir

Re: Why Aren't Dinosaurs in the Bible?

For anyone interested in a more in-depth study of dinosaurs, consider this hallmark paper of Chick, 2007, which scientifically approaches this issue. Note the anatomy of the snake when it gives the apple to Adam and Eve: it is very much like a dinosaur. It is highly probable that dinosaurs were described as "snakes" in the Bible, according to Chick. Maybe that is also why dinosaurs all went extinct within a few decades after the Floodwaters subsided, besides being unable to breathe the new, oxygen-poor air: they were punished by God for causing the Fall of Man.

Thanks for the reminder. I had forgotten this. If one is just willing to THINK a little, it's all quite clear.

Re: Why Aren't Dinosaurs in the Bible?

Dinosaurs no longer existed 6,000 years ago.

Dinosaur fossils exist because they were buried in layers of mud during the Great Flood.

Don't you read, boy? Or do you just make it up as you go along, and manipulate the OBVIOUS evidence to suit your pre-existing conclusions?

And the answer is NOT 42. it is 1+1+1=1.

Re: Why Aren't Dinosaurs in the Bible?

"Dragon" fossils have been found. We all can agree on that. This would then raise the question of what does that term mean? Does it refer to snakes, or dinosaurs? We have dinosaur fossils dated at millions of years old. Carbon Dating FTW!!!!

Carbon dating? That's just another myth like carbon footprints.

Re: Why Aren't Dinosaurs in the Bible?

Carbon foot print is a term used to describe our impact on our environment. Everytime we drive, don't recycle, burn garbage ect we are putting more chemicals and waste in the atmosphere. We do have an impact and a foot print.

No. It is an invention of the godless to pressure us into paying more taxes.

Everytime we drive, don't recycle, burn garbage ect we are putting more chemicals and waste in the atmosphere.

The Earth has been here for 6,000 years, when the end of times comes, it will not be because someone has driven to Wal-Mart

We do have an impact and a foot print.

We have the impact of a piece of popcorn. God will provide.

Carbon dating, if it worked as "scienticians" claim, is only able to date organic objects (fossils are mineralized) which are not more than about 60,000 years old.

If you're dating dinosaur remains with carbon dating, then you're proving that the earth is NOT millions of years old.

Why is it so many of you atheists don't even have a basic grasp of the "science" you worship?

Re: Why Aren't Dinosaurs in the Bible?

Hey dudes, all this talk about dinosaurs, it really brings back some memories.

A few years ago (not sure exactly when, I have trouble keeping track of time), me and my chick were doing all kinds of recreational chemicals mixed together. Anyway, I started having paranoid hallucinations. That might sound like a blast, but really, it wasn't cool at all. Anyway, I started seeing little baby dinosaurs. They were everywhere, coming through the windows, the walls, the floor, there was just no stopping them. I was freaking out, so I actually called the cops!

When I got off the phone and told my ol' lady that they cops were coming, she also freaked. She said we had to get rid of the drugs, flush them down the toilet or something. Well, that stuff is expensive so I wasn't willing to just flush it - I instead ate the whole stash just as the cops were knocking on the door.

Big mistake! I asked the pigs to shoot the dinosaurs, but instead, they put me in cuffs. First, I was taken to the cop station, and later to some nuthouse where they had me on some other psycho drugs that were just no fun at all. As for my chick, she split on me while I was "in custody." When I finally got out of the funny farm many months later, I went back to the crashpad, but the landlord had rented it out to some other dudes, and told me to get lost. I asked him what he did with my stash of Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd tapes, and he said he threw them out! Bummer!!!

Anyway, now that I'm high on Jesus, I don't do drugs anymore, other than medical marijuana.

But I'd like to attend some of your "tea parties" if I get an invite. I remember (as much as I can remember anything) that Colombian "tea" was pretty potent stuff.

Jesus is far out!

Hey, kid, you need to get off the grass if you're ever going to get right with Jesus.
