And as "evidence" you site such things as the Paluxy riverbed tracks or the Burdick print. All of which have been thoroughly de-bunked.
Why is it that you have to resort to such outright lies?
(the paluxy prints were faked and when it was discovered by actual scientists, the parts of the riverbed were taken away and "hidden" by creationist frauds.)
When the Burdick print was shown to be the result of carving by the nephew of the carver himself, some of you still refuse to admit the truth.
Here is the excerpt;
"At least one man is known to have carved several "man tracks" in Glen Rose during the 1920's and 1930's. In 1970 a Glen Rose resident, Wayland Adams, stood before a group of creationists and described the technique his uncle George Adams used to carve such tracks. First, a suitable-sized stone slab would be found (preferably one that already had some depressions, to save carving time), and a shady spot under a tree would be selected as a workshop...

" Next, the footprint would be carved using hammer and chisel. A center punch was used to simulate raindrops, followed by an application of muriatic acid to dull the chisel and punch marks. For an aged appearance (p. 73) the slab would be covered with manure for a few days. Last, the edges of the slab were chipped to give the impression of a track chiseled from the riverbed (Morris, 1980, p. 111-12)."
So it's plain to see that when faced with actual science, creationists resort to fraud to try and win over the ignorant masses.
Thankfully, actual scientists will be there to examine, test and verify your "findings" huh?
We keep you honest, or at least keep your lies and deceit to a minimum...

Yes metazone, that is the ONLY place that hominids and dinos ever co-existed. In cartoons and comic strips.

Moriah,
You'd have a point if scientists insisted that piltdown man was genuine, it's not and scientists acknowledge that. There is the difference between science and mythology; science is self-correcting. Mythology accepts NO deviation from it's dogma.
QED.

Thanks Oldguy for providing us with a fine example of shoving your head up your rectal cavity for the sake of simplistic answers.
Science is scary, I agree with you. Science only answers questions with more questions. Mythology had simple, comforting, childish answers like ; god did it.
So I can see why someone like you would turn away from reality and science in favor of the comfort of myth. No matter how intellectually cowardly it might be.
You have my pity, really you do...

So, what you're saying then is that when Medieval illustrators put drawings of dragons, mermaids, gryphons, pegasus, hippogriffs ect, in the margins of books and such, that they were actual likenesses of actual beasts?
I see....
Tell me, does the word IMAGINATION mean anything to you?
Goodness, what a moron you are...

Well, some creationists doesn't have a scientific background and consider some discoveries as false and misleading because they don't know the scientific process. But I think that telling that a footprint was carved is disrespectful and negates truth. And believing that dinosaurs co-existed with humans is not knowing the facts that dinosaurs extinguished million years before the human ever existed. Maybe the influence of TV like The Flintstones and some movies may lead to that belief.
I do believe in creation, but I do have an open mind. I think that the 6 days in the Bible are really a symbolic timing, and that they don't necessarily means days of 24 hr. Maybe day 1 lasted for several million years, or just 1 second. That may be true for days 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 as well. A day in the Bible means a period of time where something special happened.
Maybe the discoveries made recently may lead us to understand how this process began and make up our minds to a more respectful way of life. Recent DNA findings confirm that we all come from one woman: let it be Eve or "mitochondrial Eve". But we all came from one woman. And that the human race is just one, and there is no difference between Asians, Africans, Europeans, blacks, whites, yellows, as we all share the same DNA sequence.

As a Christian, I have noticed that creationists put their total argument of their belief in the biblical story of Genesis, which they take literally. Yet the same people that take it literally will not even take into account the historical and contextual basis for the writings of Genesis. Why? Because an accurate exegesis of the text itself distances the intended message from the message that they want to perpetuate in their ignorance of the scriptures they claim to support. The tragedy is this: their narrow-mindedness and literalization of the Bible has driven many people away from the Word because they disallow people from critically studying the Bible by utilizing the brain that they say God created for humanity to rationally and logically use. Therein lies the true heresy, that they are the ones who distort the Word of God.

Yes many of us claim that dinosaurs and humans lived together, but not on the basis of those discoveries, on the basis of the accounts as we read them in the Bible. You are the ones that place such stock on fossils and such. We believe what God has said in His Word. He was there you wern't. I trust Him, not you. Only time will prove who is right, the Bible or your findings. I am prepared to wait to find out.
No scientist has refuted the tracks at the paluxy river, as far as I know, they claim that they were made by smaller dinosaurs that folded their toes underneath when they ran and so they look like human tracks. There was no deception there. The other illustration, I am not aware of but it wouldn't suprrise me if deception was intended, knowing the nature of people.

I've read that there are cave drawings of what appear to be brontosaurus, which indicates that dinosaurs and men co-existed, in addition, it may be that the dragon legends are actually embellished accounts of encounters with dinosaurs.

You've been accused of talking nonsense so evidently some of them do believe that dinosaurs and man co-existed so put simply you're talking about people that are certifiably insane.

Evolutionists are guilty of frauds as well.
Ever heard of Piltdown Man?????
Guess we'll never know the truth if BOTH sides keep lying.

Interesting post- thanks. Wow, and somebody gave you a thumbs down. I guess there is a larger group of "I support lies!" than I thought! They are of the "don't confuse me with the truth! my mind is made up"
