What About Dinosaurs?

[77623091143]

Dinosaurs and their bones are not the devil's work. Now, the interpretation thereof just might be. I live in an area surrounded by millions of dinosaur era bones. If such was the Devil's work ,he would have been so busy that he would have had no time to tempt anyone to do any other kind of sinning.

You are so underestimating the ability of the devil. A mistake risky to make. The devil can do more than man can in less time needed. And yes, dinosaurs and thier bones are the work of the devil. Bring one into your house and see the devil come in.

[Calm]

What about dinosaur fossilized poop? Will that bring the devil in?

[77623091143]

Do you have dinosaur fossilized poop? If you do, put it in a display case in your living room. If the devil doesn't come in to see it, I am sure...well...just do it and see what happens. If you don't have it, what was your point in your post? Do ya think about poop and needed to ex[press that?

[Calm]

Yes, we have fossilised poop, fish, shells, and trees and bones. We collect them along with unusual other rocks. Even something called fossilised lightening which isn't really but looks cool.

They are rocks among probably a couple of hundred pounds worth of other rocks in our home. A geologist friend passed on the dregs of his collection so I may create a thyme and old rock garden out back, rather appropriate IMO.

what is it about rocks that the devil finds so useful he is going to pop up in my living room to see our cool displays after all these years? Unless he has already been there...great disguise if so, not a lot of people visit out house and I can't think of any of them that weren't good Christian men and women save a few good hearted, loving Muslims and Buddhists. So again please let me know what will happen when the devil comes knocking at my door. Will he demand his bones, poop, fish and all? Or will he just congratulate us on a great collection?

What in the world does it matter to the devil what kind of rock I have in my house?

So please tell me how to spot him because my home is a refuge from the world and a sanctuary for any soul who enters it and I would hate for one of them to be disoriented by sitting down at the table only to find their dinner mate's devilish grin was not of the charming variety.

Btw Wouldn't any rock, fossilised or not determined to be over 6000 years, be as likely to invite the devil in though? Or is it only dinosaurs for some reason.

Our fossilised rocks have been in our home for decades. During those decades, we have received many comments from visitors of how much they appreciate the atmosphere of our home as it is seen as a peaceful, hospitable, loving and interesting place...something unusual and fun to look at no matter where your eyes may wander, including dinosuar bones.

So when is this devil that haunts the poor dinosaurs going to show up so we can get him properly exorcised so those poor dinosaur remains can finally rest in peace? Havent they been abused by him long enough?

Btw, Do plant or microscopic fossils or what about their decomposed remains...do they invite the devil in as well? After all they are used as evidence against a young earth.

Dinosaurs and bones are the devils work. What more yo are talking about almost sounds like you have been drinking or smoking some of the new legalize stuff or maybe over medicated. Your repleis are getting more off subject and bizzare sounding. I stand by my original post on this matter but will not reply to anything off that subject matter.

[Calm]

Let us keep it simple then You said the devil would come if I had dinosaur bones in my house, I have quite a bit. Probably have had for over 30years. Given the peaceful, charitable atmosphere we maintain successfully for the most part I think It is unlikely he has shown up already.

So now that I am expecting the devil, how about telling me what he looks like so I will know him when I see him.

Is it only dinosaur fossils that belong to the devil or all fossils since they are evidence that the world is much older than 6000 years (as summing you are a young earth creationist. If only dinosaur fossils, why do they get special treatment?

[77623091143]

Dude or whatever. You're stupid. You are just looking to start trouble on this site and trying to use me to do it. I am not going to reply to any more of your post. Do your stupid trouble making without me.

 

Please read the board guidelines.  "You're stupid" doesn't qualify as respectful language.

More likely you just haven't thought through the implications of your claims since at my end, I have never partaken of weed save on few occasions by secondhand smoke when using the HS bathrooms, never drank anything alcoholic in my life save one dose of NyQuil about 30 years ag and tonight I took a lower nighttime dose and am undermedicated actually. I will take the rest later when it is time, but he only side effect for this amount is to attempt to type a bit faster than I should.

Dinosaurs and their bones are simply fossilised rocks of a particular type that Are used among other things as evidence for an old earth. They arent much different than the rocks that are dug up to get to them in composition. I assume it is this role they play in science that leads you to label them devils work. Are other fossils besides dinosaurs also the devil's? I would at least like an answer to that to see if there is any reason to your claim and it just isn't dislike required due to having dream as a kid of a trex chasing you.

No I am not stupid.

You made a claim, I would like you to provide more evidence. Or at least an explanation why.

You instructed me after claiming dinosaurs are the devils work to display that work in my living room, which would apparently invite the devil in.

Don't you think you have some responsibility to prepare me for his visit?

Let us look at your claims:

Dinosaurs and their bones are the devils work. (repeated several times)

What is it about the fossils that make them devilish? And does this make all ancient fossils devils work? If not why are dinosaurs unique?

Is it the fossils' alleged age that convinces people to believe in an old earth?

Is it they are evidence of evolution since one can allegedly trace from ancient dinosaurs a relationship to modern animals demonstrating evolution (since a bird is not a dinosaur but a descendant of it....no cross species offspring will be showing up to allow for the idea of a common baramin)

Or is there something else?

Or do you not know and are merely repeating what you've heard?

Next claim:

"Bring one into your house and see the devil come in."

I am a great chance to provide everyone an experiment for this claim. I have a goodly collection of various forms of fossils, including a number of dinosaur stuff...bones, teeth, coprolite.

According to your claim anytime since we brought in the first dinosaur fossil into our home, we should be able to see the devil come in. Now I need to find out if I need special instructions to recognize him or there will be instant recognition.

And will it only be dinosaur fossils that will invite him in according to you or other fossil forms?

So how about providing some useful instruction...or is this possibly a case of you just repeating what you heard from someone else and you have no clue what will actually happen?

Note to self: DO NOT become a burr under cal's saddle !

[Calm]

I just want to be prepared for when the devil shows up like he has told me he will or has (given the length of time that stuff has been sitting on display, it must be soon right?)

[The Nehor]

I am going to ride around on a T-Rex during the Millenium. That is all I need to know about dinosaurs.

 

 

I'm with her. I would rather be a Dino Rider.

 

 

I just realized how awesome my childhood was.

Apparently you wouldn't be the first to do so , Nehor .

Repeating so as to get an answer hopefully...this is not to make trouble or anything except to get clarification on a significant claim

Repeat for same reason.

Science tells us that dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago, except for the ones that evolved into chickens. There is the problem with the evidence of " dragons " in pretty well every civilized culture.There are references to the Behemoth and Leviathon  in the Bible. There are the Acambaro stones and the Peru Ica stones and the pictographs in Utah etc. as well as the footprints in the Paluxy river, but those are all hoaxes of course. Right?

Maybe the Dragons did not actually breathe fire? Perhaps their breath was so bad that we thought they did?

 

I think the biological mechanism could exist. I've had heart burn that felt like fire. Then of course there are the so called "Lightening Bugs" that glow, and the "Eels" that will give you a shocking experience.

 

Some animals, especially fish and water mammals, use electric fields to detect prey using a phenomena right out of Science Fiction.

 

Remember all those Prehistoric animals are the ones who make our cars putt around.

After reading the posts here, it is very clear that the devil is achieving his goal of believe in evolution versus creation. Many are saying that this animal or that one is the descendent of dinosaurs. If that is to be true, than that is evidence of evolution of life. Something the devil wants us to believe and apparently, some here do believe. You can not have evolution of life and creation of life both being fact. They cancel each other out. Only one can be fact. Dinosaurs and their bones are the devils work.

Oh, you're very funny! I got quite a laugh out of it.

So, you also hold to the idea that the time and date of the creation was the night preceding Sunday, 23 October 4004 BC?

I find it marvelous black and white thinking that God and evolution are mutually contradictory. And the devil wants us to believe in evolution? Surely you have some scriptural support for this?

They do not cancel each other out. And the Bible is not a physics textbook. So, what does the Bible say causes a solar eclipse? It says nothing. Does this mean that solar eclipses don't happen? Or if I claim that the cause of solar eclipses is the moon coming between the earth and the sun -- am I furthering the work of the devil? How much are you willing to believe that human observation of celestial phenomena and the drawing of conclusion therefrom is accurate? None of it? Some of it? Where do you draw the line? Where it contradicts the Bible? Well, sorry about this fact, but Genesis said God created the heaven and the earth, but it did not lay out HOW God did it, nor how long it really took Him. You might prefer to think seven 24-hour periods, but even Peter said that to God a thousand years is one day. So creation took seven thousand years?

You are so underestimating the ability of the devil. A mistake risky to make. The devil can do more than man can in less time needed. And yes, dinosaurs and thier bones are the work of the devil. Bring one into your house and see the devil come in.

You overestimate the power of devil, while underestimating that of God.

And you clearly believe in black magic -- how else are we to take the idea that bringing a fossil into one's home will cause the devil to come in?

Pathetically superstitious. And observe the numerology there, with your screen name.

I have my own opinion about this, but I wanted to hear from others. I never hear anyone in the Christian community talk about dinosaurs. According the physical evidences, The bones found over many years and locations, they do appear to have lived. According to the science, dinosaurs are dated pre-man. According to my Christian faith, something doesn’t fit here and I have my own opinion of what it is and why. Anyone else have an opinion to share?

First, we can not know everything. Is it possible that the stories in the Bible are much older than we think? The popular theory is that the Dinosaurs left us 65 million years ago, and that modern Homo Sapiens appeared around 70,000 years ago.

 

As I think of it, most people speaking authoritatively about this subject have no real knowledge of the events or science

 

I believe that Dinosaurs existed, but does the lack of bones actually prove they weren't here 70,000 years ago. Tyrannosaurs are still here, but we know them as Chickens. The horse was around a long time ago, but he was the size of a dog. Now he is this big adorable creature that I used to love to ride in the fields.

 

We have all this dogma about things but no real proof of much. And for so many of the Dinosaurs, we do not have full skeletons. For many of them, we have a part of a Jaw bone or a thigh bone, and the rest of the animal is postulated using known anatomical ratios from animals that exist today.

 

When I was an Evangelical, there was this big theory about how the Earth got from Pangea to what we have today. The Creationist theory was dreamed up based upon one scripture in Genesis 10:25 :"Two sons were born to Eber. One was named Peleg, because in his time the earth was divided".

 

Is the author speaking of the division of cultures and languages at the Tower of Babel, or of the land splitting up and racing across the seas to collide in a huge cataclysm to form the mountains? To me the it is important that I know God, and that I worship him in ways that are pleasing to him. After that one theory about the Earth is as loony as another.

 

I think the Mormons do a better job than most at divining how we got here. In my opinion where the EV failed, at least in my old denomination, is that they did not focus on Jesus' two commandments, instead tending to dwell on assessing and judging others, often in critical and hurtful ways.

 

I would be interested in your theory.

[EllenMaksoud]

@ BCSpace, I never said a word about my Christian faith being against dinosaurs pre-dating man. I actually made it clear that I was not sharinging my opinions about this, just sharing the topic in a question form to see what other people's opinions are.

 

@ Strappinglad, What?! Some of the things you wrote seem to be very strange. "There is the problem with the evidence of " dragons " in pretty well every civilized culture." <Where did this 'dragon' thought come into play and I do not agree that every civilized culture has evividence there of. And I have never heard a single word anywhere in my entire life and travles about dinosours and chickens. That is just really out there. No offense, but have you been drinking or taking strong medication?

It seems to me that you have been well and truly wound up, or in America one would say that you have been had. 

[Garden Girl]

I don't have a problem with dinoaurs... the physical fossil evidence is sufficient... in fact, I wonder at them.  The only real question I have is why were they so huge... some standing 2 - 3 stories high.  I've heard it said that that was so they could reach and eat the foilage from the tops of the trees...And just what was their purpose??!  There were various varieties. 

And if they eventually went extinct and became ooze beneath the ground, who was it that discovered it and decided to put it to use??  You know, this black stuff comes oozing up and two fellows are standing there and one says to the other, I know, let's put it on our wagon axles!! 

And who decided it was safe and could/should be used in cars?

I know they existed at some early point because the fossils  and bones tell me so. But did Ally Oop really ride one?
