I remember when I saw it in the theater, everybody cheered when the lawyer was eaten while sitting on the toilet.

I’m not saying there isn’t evidence of 100+ million yr old earth, I’m just not buying this is fact, because well, it’s not.

When we find “life” on Mars this kind of thing is what it will be.

Only no amber, just fossils in rocks.

Those pieces of amber could have been polished up nicely if the bugs hadn't gotten into the sap and ruined them.

That vid about sums up Spielbergs entire film career: “patronize patronize patronize”. Wow Steve, thank you for putting people in that movie that not only constantly scream, but scream completely over the top, otherwise I would have never guessed that dinosaurs could be scary and dangerous.

For all we know Adam and Eve resided as spiritual beings in the Garden for billions of years. Once cast out, their days were numbered and they died at an age from the day they were cast out, not from the day they were created.

The bible says nothing about how old the Earth is. General Relativity posits that time slows down to zero as a body approaches the speed of light. One day to God can for all we know be a trillion years.

If God is as big as the entire universe, how long does it take God to cross the universe? Answer: Zero time.

Reminds me of God’s concept of size and time.

“God, how much is a million dollars to you?
GOD: It is but a penny.

“God, how long is a million years to you?”
GOD: It is but a second.

“God, could you please give me a penny?”
GOD: Sure, just a second.
