Do you really believe that all this fossil evidence and carbon dating is a lie? Can you HONESTLY say that you REALLY believe that man and dinosaurs inhabited the earth at the same time?

*LMAO*
After that first answer, I just don't think I'm going to take anything about this question seriously.

Okay people, geez ... I'm not an idiot, I know that carbon dating is not foolproof. I have an f-ing bachelor's in Chemistry, guys.

Of course it's a lie....just like the holocaust, astronauts walking on the moon, and the 9/11 conspiracy.
We all know that invisible dinosaurs, intelligently designed to become invisible, were behind all of those conspiracies.
Pterodactyls forced the planes into the building.

My first response is to question why you're asking these, considering you're an aetheist (one who does not believe in God or spirituality). There is no Christian belief that man and dinosaurs inhabited the earth at the same time. And like another man asked, what does this have to do with Christianity? Several hundred years ago, Christian management (Pope, Vatican) did dictate how science and theology were opposed (Galileo for example), but this is not the case today, in my opinion. Christianity is faith-based which I have no problem with. The civilizing influence on Man cannot be disputed regarding religion.
Many of the answers to this question are spot-on and fine. Dinosaurs were simply another animal. You clearly have some misunderstandings of what Christianity is. This is not surprising. Most aetheists either don't get it or have to attack it. Sad.

never said it was a lie - it's obviously there.... I just question the theories of how they got there and methods of dating them. Fossilization can happen in less than 10 years as proven by many many factual evidences.... teddies in England (there's actually a website where you can order your own fossilized teddy), waterwheel in Australia, man's hat in Australia, chopped wood in Virginia etc etc etc.
Carbon dating and every other form of dating method is flawed which you would know that too if you asked more questions. Live animals have been tested by carbon dating to be over 10000 years old. Animals that have been dead less than a year have dated over a million years old.
How do trees grow through millions of years of the earths sediment?
How is it that fossilized marine animals are found at the top of mount everest?
Scientists can speculate, hypothisize, theorize and dream all they want, but the bottom line is - they don't have the answers.
and yes - I believe it's entirely possible that dinosaurs lived with man at the same time.

The evolutionists keep changing the time span between the disappearance of the dinosaurs and the appearance of man. In 1924 it was only 12,000,000 years, now it's 65,000,000. Gosh, if they could only get those atoms of carbon 14 to cooperate.
edit:
God created the earth in 6 days. Each day had a morning and an evening. The earth rotated once each day that God was creating the earth. That's what creation means, what God does.

No.
What I like to believe is that it can be a little bit of both.
First, The Bible says God created earth in 7 days. So, who are we to say what a day is in Heaven? A day in heaven might be a billion years long.
Maybe God created the Earth, then the creatures and all that. The creatures had their time, some lived and some died, then at last, man arrived.
Perhaps we are as a sculpture. God started with one thing, and then dabbed a bit and dabbed some more, and finally, we came out this way.
People believe what they want to believe.

No I think alot of what the archaeologists are finding now is proof of many of the stories in the Bible. I have watched alot of shows lately on Diascovery & History about that. I believe God created this world and us in His image and everything in it. I think all the fossils and otherthings they are finding now is great. I'm all for more and more research. I just think there are some things we'll never know for sure., but as a Christian I don't fear science at all!

I think it is a valid question and their is no definitive answer either scientifically or from a creationist view. but think about this, the problem with carbon dating is that it does not take into account that a flood would affect the dating because it will make things seem other than they really are.

These pieces of evidence just further proved what the Bible tells. Though we were not born during these years but as to the fossils and some other traces, most probably yes. The Bible and science closely interrelates. Read the Bible then. I suggest.

God created everything. There are things that people will just not know for sure. God didnt exactly go into detail about how he made the earth or the stars or the waters, he just plainly states that He did. Science is always contradicting itself. They come up with all these speculations for people who have to have proof in order to believe. The guy who came up with evolutionary plainly stated before he died that he made it up because people wanted proof and something to believe in. He admitted it was a lie. Theories are not proof, they are just that THEORY, one's OPINION. There are things that will always remain misteries unless it is God's will that we know them. God did not specify as to how he did things.

i've heard that there's only 1% of animals left today then there were a long time ago. and i think that the bones that they are finding and saying are links to evolution are just animals that are now extinct that had characteristics of two different species. if you read the bible, it talks about dinosaurs, so why would someone write about a dinosaur if they didn't see one?
