Want to see something funny? Some Christians claim proof of dinosaur-human co-existence...?

Question

http://www.bible.ca/tracks/dino-art.htm

So it isn't possible that these people have an imagination?

God bless the pope: Hence the word "some".

Kaboodle: There is a story about an egg-boy hybrid falling off of a wall - does this point a mystic race of egg-people that existed and had a tendency to climb walls?

Mark185 is displaying his extensive knowledge on the theory of evolution I see....

Answer 1

I don't understand the joke. Dinosaurs and humans did co-exist.

Dinosaurs were created on the 6th day of creation and were placed on the ark in the day of Noah (very likely young adult age). The change of climate after the flood very will contributed to their extension. It is also very likely that the stories of dragons were fact dinosaurs. They would not have used the word dinosaurs in earlier writing because the word was only coined in 1850.

Interesting enough there was a recent report of a Tyrannosaurus rex bone found with soft tissue (still-elastic blood vessel). The story mentions that the paleontologists are very surprised that this soft tissue was found at all. They claim that paleontologists of the past never bothered to look for any residue of soft tissue before, because they assumed that it would have degraded long ago (Can you believe it? Scientists actually admit making assumptions) . To explain their confusion they indicate that they have more to learn about fossilization and the preservation of tissue.

However this is not their problem. The problem has nothing to do with their understanding of fossilization, but their error in dating these bones. What they should question is their assumptions in their dating methods. The collagen should have degraded millions of years ago. There is no way that soft tissue, no matter how small can survive 68 million years! The truth is the world is only thousands of years old and the finding of a T-rex with soft tissue fits with the Biblical account of a young earth.

Answer 2

While the suggestion that humans and dinosaurs co-existed is strictly wacko, the real question is why such fundamentalist Christians have such an interest in paleontology? Who cares when dinosaurs became extinct, from a religious perspective? What does that fact have to do with the message of salvation? Moose are not mentioned in the Bible, yet they co-exist with humans. Would the Bible message be different if moose were mentioned? Or if they didn't co-exist with humans??

Answer 3

It would be funny if it wasn't such a popular idea in the World's only superpower. The amount of wacko answers here is also further testament to the problems that science faces in educating people.

Answer 4

Hey maybe dinosaurs were God's first attempt and he botched it..imagine THE God being able to "botch" something...so, he tried again and now he will have to realize another "botched" attempt and rid the world of all the religious groups who have lost the "in God's image" doctrine, and let the rest of us start over again.

Answer 5

There are also human and dinosaur footprints in rock.
For more info, do a web search with the key words "human dinosaur footprints".

Answer 6

Since your ignorance is making you blind:

http://paleo.cc/paluxy/onheel.htm

that is just one account of human and dino tracks side by side. visit the main museum in Washington DC and see a rock for yourself, they have one.

kids, they think they know the world due to a text book. TEXT BOOKS LIE!!

Answer 7

There is a lot more evidence than that. Most people are unaware that the word “dinosaur” was not coined until the 1840s by Sir. Richard Owen (who was a Creationist by the way). So, if these creatures lived alongside humans prior to that time, they were not called dinosaurs. So what were they called? Dragons. Most cultures throughout the world possess ancient stories about dragons and sea monsters that closely resemble what we today would call dinosaurs. For instance, the flag of Wales depicts a dragon, which by the way, is claimed by some to be the oldest national flag still in use. Dragon stories have been handed down for generations in most civilizations.

No doubt many of these stories have been exaggerated through the years, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t have their original basis in fact. I believe many of the dragon legends are simply distorted versions of dinosaur encounters. As Paul Taylor has said, “Most of the dragon legends are full of exaggeration, magic and marvelous deeds. But this is not true of all of them. Many stories seem rather believable.”

It is true that many of them are mythical or legendary but it is also true that most legends are based on some truth. It cannot be an accident that so many separate peoples of the world tell such stories. The same can be deduced from the 250+ different flood stories from around the world. Flood legends in many cultures that have never even heard of the Bible, and yet many of them are very similar to the account in Genesis. Why? Because everyone is descended from Noah. Some of the details have been distorted from thousands of years of telling and retelling, but it is based in fact. I believe the same is true of the dragon legends.

The story of Gilgamesh, Beowulf, and Saint George killing dragons are likely to have been based on at least some fact. These were real men in history.

As you know, dragons are prominent on Chinese pottery, embroidery, carvings, etc. It’s interesting that the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac are all animals—eleven of which are still alive today, but one is the dragon. It doesn’t seem logical that the ancient Chinese, when constructing their zodiac, would include one mythical animal with eleven real animals.

In 1271, Marco Polo (the Italian explorer) reported that on special occasions in China the royal chariot was pulled by dragons. Marco Polo also said that the saw long reptiles in Asia called Lindworms that could easily ran as fast as a horse.

In 1611, we can see that the emperor appointed the post of “Royal Dragon Feeder” which doesn’t make sense if there were no dragons to feed. We also find Ancient Chinese books telling of people using dragon eggs, blood, bones and other parts for medicine.

John of Damascus (an Arab monk in the 8th century) wrote against some of the wild and mythical claims about dragons and said, “I am not telling you, after all, that there are no dragons; dragons exist but they are serpents [reptiles] borne of other serpents. When just born and young, they are small; but when they grow up and mature, they become big and fat so that they exceed the other serpents in length and size. It is said they grow up more than thirty cubits [45 feet]; as for their thickness, they become as thick as a huge log.”

There is a well-known science book from the 16th century by a Swiss naturalist and medical doctor named Conrad Gesner called Historia Animalium. The book claims that dragons were still not extinct in the 1500's, but were extremely rare and relatively small by then.

The American Indian “Thunderbird” stories sound like pterosaurs and even some evolutionists have conceded on that point. Darlene Geis said, “The thunderbird appears in many Indian tales and Indian art work. Its description is very much like one of the prehistoric flying reptiles that flapped its way through the skies in the days of the dinosaurs.”

After Alexander the Great invaded India (356-323 B.C.) he brought back reports of great hissing reptiles the Indians kept in caves. There was one that really frightened his army was estimated by them to be over 100 feet long.

And then there’s all the stories of giant sea serpents and sea monsters. As Dr. Mace Baker said, “For more than a thousand years ancient and medieval mariners often returned from their voyages with frightening tales of encounters with, or sightings of, large and dangerous sea monsters.”

There are hundreds of these types of legends. Evolutionists just say that it’s coincidence that many of them sound like dinosaurs. World Book Encyclopedia says: “The dragons of legend are strangely like actual creatures that have lived in the past. They are much like the great reptiles [dinosaurs] which inhabited the earth long before man was supposed to have appeared on earth.”

Here's an even funnier one...
Others actually believe their ancestors came from goo that somehow came alive with lightning or something, then evolved into worms.

They have indeed found pertified mud with the footprints of both prehistoric creatures and humans in it!
