TO DAVID T. I can see you study religion but not history.

William G. Read the question again and you might see my problem.

CEM. It's not the question you don't understand it's archeology and carbon dating.

Michael. Some good points made but I dont see what Italy and the Mafia have to do with it, oh by the way I'm Australian.

Sorry not michael. I mean Matthew for the above.

James. If Adam and Eve were the first of the human race then we are all creating incest .

Hey PAPA WE ARE ALSO ANIMALS.

Answer 1

Don't sweat it.
I recently saw a site featuring Christians who doubted gravity. The argument went along the lines of: Who do these scientists think they are, trying to tell us how God made the Universe?
It took them a couple of centuries to accept the earth revolved around the sun. I say in another two hundred years or so, they'll accept Darwinism as well. Be patient.

Answer 2

Blah, Blah, Blah David T.
Certain religions don't believe that dinosaurs existed be cause they pass over the part in Genesis that says in those days Giants walked the Earth.Someone had to be there to pass the tale down through the generations.
As for prehistoric man. They start with ADAM and EVE being the First created humans on Earth only about 6040yrs ago.
They pass over the verses that say that Adam and Eve met OTHER TRIBES outside of the GARDEN when they were exiled. Who were these other tribes? And how long had they been around before Adam and Eve ? So who or what made them.
I would say someone tore out a whole lot of prehistory books when the CHRISTIAN BIBLE was put together.

Answer 3

As for evidence, consider that Radiographic dating is still consider an theory without any empirical evidence to back it up. It can only date things older than 1 million years. As for the so called missing links, I think we will one day learn that they are the skulls of the children of the fallen angels. The were large and consider almost like animals. Their fathers were beings who base form was intelligent energy. I can only imagine what this would do to not only the genetic bonding, but also to the very nature of them at the atomic level.

As for the best example of whether evolution from a lower form of species is possible, I give you the Human Brain.

Studies, like that done by the University of Michigan, and features in the Discovery Channel program, The Amazing Life of the Human Brain, shows just how amazing the human brain is.

Every second while awake, we are absorbing 40MBs of data per second. That’s 144 gigabytes per hour and about 2 terabytes per day. That’s a lot of data even for the largest computer. When we sleep at night, and only at night or under nighttime conditions, all that data is sorted and stored through the creation of synaptic connectors and biochemical bounds. The brain has enough volume to allow for the creation of these storage connectors to last over 10,000 years.

Without the need of a creator, what evolutionary pressure could cause the need for this much volume that would take that long to fill? Clearly, man was either created by God to live that long, or if evolve, once lived that long, and has since de-evolved to what we are today. Which do you think it is?

Evolution does take place, in that animals have evolved and humans have de-evolved since the time of the creation. Many divergent species are related, such as the Meerkat/Hyena and the Lion/House cat. A house cat can breed with a lion, I wonder if the same is possible the Hyena and Meerkat?

This is why I believe in God. I use the brain he gave me, and designed for me, to determine something beyond imagining.

Answer 4

actually i am a christian and believe in dinosaurs. There are absoulutley no textxs what so ever that state christians should not believe in dinosaurs. other relgions iam sad to say iam ignorant about and need to do more studies. The only thing that comes into question that would scrutnize my answer is the mere fact that adam and eve and the birth of the earth are in the same book. there is nothing in the genisis that states any given amount of time between the creation of earth and adam and eve. pretty much you cannot generalise the whole christian faith as not believing in dinosaurs, because it is a non deductive statement. However I notice a recent trend n chritians were they "flow with the river" rather than thinking for themsleves, like maybe one church congregation just wanted to make a huge political statement claiming that dinosaurs was a conspiracy, so other christians blindly followed ( because they think one priest is the word of god) and used their Over(and yet unfaithful)interpretations of the bible as weapon against it and then you get posted questions like these because people who are not christians asked questions like these because they get fooled into thinking these generalizations are facts. To avoid stuff like this my friend ask your self this

"IF YOUR ITALIAN, ARE YOU IN THE MAFIA:NO, IF YOUR IN THE MAFIA ARE YOU ITALIAN: MOST LIKELY"

Answer 5

I think most religions believe that there were dinosaurs and such, at least all those I have been associated with. We just believe it was God's hand in it all. I even believe in evolution but I also believe that God made that happen. I am mostly a new testament follower though so that might be where I've experience the difference.

Human Evolution: The Legacy of the Fossil Evidence
Human evolution has many issues, including the realities of genetics, biochemistry, design theory, irreducible complexity, DNA structure, and information systems. However, the reality of the human fossil record alone is enough to reject the theory of human evolution all together. Here are just a few of the major problems with the alleged fossil record of the past century:

Ramapithecus was widely recognized as a direct ancestor of humans. It is now established that he was merely an extinct type of orangutan.
Piltdown man was hyped as the missing link in publications for over 40 years. He was a fraud based on a human skull cap and an orangutan's jaw.
Nebraska man was a fraud based on a single tooth of a rare type of pig.
Java man was based on sketchy evidence of a femur, skull cap and three teeth found within a wide area over a one year period. It turns out the bones were found in an area of human remains, and now the femur is considered human and the skull cap from a large ape.
Neandertal man was traditionally depicted as a stooped ape-man. It is now accepted that the alleged posture was due to disease and that Neandertal is just a variation of the human kind.

Human Evolution: The Current Tree
Human evolution has its currently fashionable specimens that lead from small ape-like creatures to Homo sapiens. These are examples of the most recent alleged links:

Australopithecus afarensis, or "Lucy," has been considered a missing link for years. However, studies of the inner ear, skulls and bones have shown that she was merely a pygmy chimpanzee that walked a bit more upright than some other apes. She was not on her way to becoming human.
Homo erectus has been found throughout the world. He is smaller than the average human of today, with a proportionately smaller head and brain cavity. However, the brain size is within the range of people today and studies of the middle ear have shown that he was just like current Homo sapiens. Remains are found throughout the world in the same proximity to remains of ordinary humans, suggesting coexistence. Australopithecus africanus and Peking man were presented as ape-men missing links for years, but are now both considered Homo erectus.
Homo habilis is now generally considered to be comprised of pieces of various other types of creatures, such as Australopithecus and Homo erectus, and is not generally viewed as a valid classification.

Human Evolution: The Most Recent Find
In July 2002, anthropologists announced the discovery of a skull in Chad with "an unusual mixture of primitive and humanlike features." The find was dubbed "Toumai" (the name give to children in Chad born close to the dry season) and was immediately hailed as "the earliest member of the human family found so far." By October 2002, a number of scientists went on record to criticize the premature claim -- declaring that the discovery is merely the fossil of an ape.

Human Evolution: The Theory Has No Support in the Fossil Record
Human evolution is a theory in denial. With all of this fossil evidence (or lack thereof) it becomes increasingly clear to an earnest seeker that human evolution did not happen at all.

Answer 7

Hey Knackers,
Why do you care what certain religions believe? Just believe in God and serve Him as He has told us in the Scriptures.

You say prehistoric man. That means, man before history. Which religion does not believe that man existed before we started to record their existence?

Maybe I don't understand your question, or there is more to it than meets the eye.><>

It's the diference between faith and facts, beliefs and knowlege, fiction and reality, delusional schizoid mental disorder and mental good health.

Answer 9

Blunders of science.
