Thanks for your answer Rickolish.
I've a backround in science myself (not earth science) in biology.
I do have two wicked fossils though. One is a petrified tree stump approx 80 million years old and the tooth of an Equus (The pre cursor of the modern horse) approx 2 million years old.
These fossils were both examined by a professor of palaentology at my local university
UCC,
Co. Cork,
Ireland
Far older than 10,000 years old.

Answer 1

I have studied earth science.
First of all, their scientific name is a (best estimate) i.e. in their opinion. so the wee table is just their own version of what refers to modern day equivalent in science.
The only evidence they use to suggest the bible is talking about a dinosaur (rather than elephant or hippo) is a tail like a Cedar. this could apply to crocodile but they don't mention that - apart from to say "oh -BTW it can't be a croc eh?" without actually giving any decent reason as to why.
I don't know why I can't read Job 41 18-21without realising it breathes fire. Such obviousness escapes me. As also does the beetle chat. err...because one thing (and I haven't bothered to look up if it can) breathes fire, another surely can? What - how does that work? Because a flea can jump 50 times it's own heigth, can I? Also, all earth scientist would love to have a fire breathing lizard, but no studies have proved it's existance.
Then later (I'm skimming this now, there's loads of made up stuff), they say "Nobody has ever proven that the Bible contains any inaccurately recorded information" - well I'd kind of like to see the other way round. Proving a negative is, well, impossible. If I said there is a planet made of jelly a milllion light years away, does that make me correct until proven wrong?
then they do that wonderful thing of "hmm yes we have evidence of dinosaurs being created one day before man etc etc...but in order to see it you have to read through pages and pages of more subjective chat", personally I gave up cos if they are that confident they would put there evidence right in their on their page, or at least give a description of how.
This page is someone's belief and doen't make me think anything other than what I have studied through rational science.

Answer 2

There are other mass extinctions before the one that ended the Cretaceous.. A good one would be the Permian Extinction. This site is only talking about dinosaurs. What about trilobites? They perished with the Permian. This site is inadequate due to its neglect in explaining all the other extinct life prior to their magical 6000 year old beginning of the Earth. But then, they cannot understand science because they have never studied science. Therefore any site like this one has to be termed "Pseudo-science".

Answer 3

Hi. It is easy to interpret just about anything to reflect personal beliefs. This is human nature. I would be more interested it any book on theology could explain the Grand Canyon.

Answer 4

Very good website. Its true how most people don't think that dinosaurs actually exist in the bible, the website shows a very clear link between scientific/ historical and how the bible describe it

Answer 5

Dinosaur fossils are found in rocks much older than the rocks in which human fossils are found.
