Really hate to post one thread after another, but this has been bugging me for quite a while; this might have been asked before, and if so, sorry about that.

A lot of Fundies like to claim that dinosaurs lived with cavemen, and that Noah even had some on the Ark.

Could someone please explain, how
(A) Cavemen and dinosaurs could exist together in this 'theory'?
(B) Are cavemen or dinosaurs even mentioned in the Bible?
(C) If Noah took some on the Ark, what could have happened to them?

I'm not trying to be snide or sarcastic; I just can't wrap my head around the logic here...
 
wouldn't this question be better put on a fundie board where you'll find people that actually believe it?
 
The real question is - which dinosaur was preferred by professional caveman dino-riders?

My God, man...why are you trying?

OT writers didn't know about those things. Xians - crippled by faith - take ignorance as non-belief.

Now you've stooped to counting elves in Santa's workshop.

..........I'm sorry........
 
Barney prove thyself!

Seems like I read or heard somewhere that a lot of fundamentalists don't believe dinosaurs ever existed.

Actually, I think a Jesus dinosaur died on the cross for them and they just kept sinning up the kazaoo, hence the extinction event. Any scholarly comment on this? Thank you.
 
Well over on Ritjjc's "how old is the earth" thread, he contends not only that men and dinosaurs coexisted, but that they (at least possibly - clarity, consistency and directness are not his strong points) breathed fire, thus giving rise to legends of fire breathing dragons.

Awesome! So the Cavemen Cavalry had their own flamethrower corps? And could you use small dinos as cigarette lighters?

I think the logic is something like this - "we can't deny that there were dinosaurs - everyone's seen the fossils. But if the earth isn't very old, and humans have been around basically since the beginning, if there were dinosaurs they coexisted with humans." So the creationists say, "Okay, why not?"

The only other out is to say that there never were any dinosaurs - god just put the fossils there for fun - maybe he was planning a neat-o scavenger hunt or something, but forgot about them?
That option, though is so blatantly stupid (because it can explain absolutely anything, if you're stuck just saying, "god did it that way, it doens't mean anything" then you can deny absolutely any evidence) that even some creationists distance themselves from it.
 
Why couldn't they say that dinosaurs perished in Noah's flood? In their version of the story, poor Noah loaded two of every species of dinosaur on the ark and kept them alive in captivity while stopping them from destroying the boat, only to have their descendants go extinct. No wonder he took to drinking in his later years.

I believe there's a cave painting in France that shows a Cro-Magnon man munching on a leg of stegosaurus. In a bubble above him, to denote what he's thinking, is a chicken.

It's the oldest known version of "tastes like chicken".
 
The Bible says something to the effect of "There were giants in the earth in those days." Obviously both giants and dinosaurs are very big. The giants must've kept all the dinosaurs on special ranches and not allowed the Jews to visit. If the Biblical giant Goliath is representative of all Biblical giants, they must've been terrible anti-Semites. Maybe all the special dino-ranches were in North and South America, which are never mentioned in the Bible.

It makes perfect sense.

And what do you think all those pictographs on cave walls are ? :rolleyes:



I have it on good authority (mine, mostly) that pictographs on cave walls come in three categories:
- complaints ("the youth of today, they don't know what hardships are, in my time, blah, blah, blah")
- more complaints and graffiti ("No Future", "CroMag' waz here")
- recipes.
