All of us are showing our age, but that was one of the greatest cartoons of all times....with Rocky, of course.

You should have heard me talking to my wife as we tried to remember Mr. Peabody's name:

"Honey what was the name of that white dog?"

"What white dog".

"The dog who had the boy"

"What?"

"The cartoon dog who had a boy?"

"I dunno what you're talking about."

"He was on Rocky and Bullwinkle."

"Oh yeah. I don't remember."

"He had a wayback machine."

"I don't know."

It was only after I remembered the wayback machine that I could google for an image. :-)

“Yet many would be surprised to find that several centuries ago scientists did believe in dinosaurs, an ancient earth and in creation week.”

And they also believed in the humors, miasma, white superiority, corsets, etc.

My faith in the Lord is not dependant on any interpretation of Genesis. That the universe exists is testament enough to the Almighty.

This is a closed issue... dinosaurs lived with man, not before him. If you choose to give credence to what comes out of the public school systems, you will be an atheist and reject this claim, out of a religious ferver against the Bible. If you choose to live your life by the Bible standard and weigh all things by it alone, you will reject atheism, which is wholly contrary to the Bible.

Reconciliation between evolution and creation is laughable, but good entertainment for Bible believers, since we already know how this show will end.

And the earth is 6000 years old, right?

So, do you assert that the Bible said that man could ‘see’ the behemoth?

Science suggests that no man ever saw one alive.

If we find a new fossil tomorrow with monkey bones preserved with dinosaur bones, that could change. So far, that is not available.

Fortunately, there is no need to dumb down Creation to fit Evolutionary axioms.

A literal reading of the original Hebrew in Genesis can only mean a 6, 24 hour day creation, with man and the large dino’s created on day 6.

Unfortunately, the ‘system’ in its determination to deny God’s Creation, has tainted science with its philosophical assumptions and led many to believe that to be true, the Bible must agree with ‘science’ that has been tuned to not offend atheists.

Creation has legs, Evolution does not... yet.

Howdy donmeaker;

God said it...and I belive it.

None of us was around to see it for ourselves, and from the description given to us...I’m glad it was gone before I got here.

I'm a bible believer. I give no credence at all to evolution. All creatures alive today were created 6000 years ago or so. But as the article suggest I also think the bible strongly hints that there was a creation before our present creation that fell into waste and ruin.

I agree. But having a good understanding can enhance faith and make some scripture become clearer.

Let's say I agree with you for a moment. How did a beast that weighed 400 tons move on dry land? How did the heart circulate blood up to the head some 75 feet away against gravity? BTW there is a thread on FR about that subject. Just asking.
