  • Bible Thumpers + Creationists: Please Explain the Dinosaurs

    I'm not going to Troll (wel, i'll try my best not to), but I'd like to know if any bible thumpers or creationists have a church-sanctioned explination about the giant lizards that roamed the planet for eons.

    the best one my friends (several atheists, a lutheran, 2 christians, and a jew) came up with was that the dinosaurs were for when god was a baby. just slamming dinosaurs into eachother and making roaring noises with his mouth.

    now, seriously, the dinosaurs obviously weren't "made in the image of god", they had no sentience(that we know of), there are no signs of a society, of morals, etc, so what the hell was god doing for eons with those giant animals?

        DInosaur bones are the creation of the devil to fool man into not believing God's word.
        To us, it is the BEAST.

          Dinosaurs are angels.

            Somehow the creationists don't come up with ideas, so we have to.

            But I guess we could agree that Noah simply had no space for them on his ark, so they died out with the flood in 2500BC...

                God surely didn't create the beautiful Birds of Paradise in the remote jungles of New Guinea for our benefit. They seem to be for His own sole pleasure. In the same way God must have enjoyed the reign of the dinosaurs. For His own delight.

                    Simple, God didn't make dinosaurs in his own image, he made them in the image of his cousin Frank.

                    He wasn't the black sheep, so much as the huge fucking monster of the family

                      They lived outside of Eden. When God banished humanity out of Eden, he was punishing his creation but did not want them to be preyed upon. So therefore, he wiped them out. Remember, the Bible never says how long they were in the Garden.

                              Well, why didn't God give humans superpowers to hunt the dinosaurs? That would be fun.
