I believe they have proven that man did exist the same time as dinosaurs. Something about footprints... Oh well, I don’t have a link to that but I do remember reading about it.

Mary, there is no evidence that man coexisted with dinosaurs. None.
Walking with Dinosaurs, I believe, says differently. Check it out.

I did. Mary, there is nothing in there about dinosaurs coexisting with people. The dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago.
I’m not a Darwinist and don’t believe the earth is more than 10,000 years old. That may not have been the right book I quoted you because it was a long time ago when I read an article about it. It’s not dogma. I just recall hearing it.
***I’m not a Darwinist ***
What is a Darwinist?
***and don’t believe the earth is more than 10,000 years old. ***
Based upon?
***That may not have been the right book I quoted you because it was a long time ago when I read an article about it.***
Fair enough. If you do come across the right book, would you please let me know?
I’m probably not going to rush and hunt for it. It’s not that important to me.
I believe in creationism and creation scientists and other experts feel the world is only about 10,000 years old. I subscribe to that belief.

I would not be worried about the FEELINGS of creation scientists. You might want to let that subscription run out.
Really? I found the movie to be a series of several hundred mildly amusing jokes such that any one of them provides a chuckle or even a hearty laugh as a sound bite, but which strung together into a two hour movie were completely devoid of any dramatic elements to prevent the movie from collapsing into monotony. As silly as it was, even Airplane had a dramatic story arc, character development, pacing, etc., which were all terribly lacking in Annie Hall.
Frankly, such aspects were so lacking in Annie Hall, that it helped educate me as how a good comedy must be better than a sequence of funny jokes.
I love both “Airplane” and “Annie Hall”. Both are hilarious, but completely different types of humour.
***Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son: that whosoever believeth in him may not perish, but may have life everlasting.
Joh 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world: but that the world may be saved by him.
Not the “elect,” but “the world.”***
I think that they are in their own little world. Or room. Rubber, that is.
***Grace saves, and grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.***
Have the Reformed finally jettisoned all of Matthew?
***Discussion won’t get us anywhere, since we would rely on the inerrant Bible as our authority, and Catholics rely on a sinful man, or group of sinful men, as authority.***
My experience is that many Protestants simply pick their favourite bits and camp out there, leaving the rest out.
Without the authority of the Church (1 Tim 3), Luther’s milkmaid becomes her own theological generator and we have millions of different Protestant theologies, each generated by the individual.
Jesus Christ created the Church; men created the Reformation.
***Well that’s true Mary, but I still contend (backed up by the scriptures) that our Salvation and Faith is based upon Christ and His Grace ALONE, not our works,***
Then how do you explain Matt 5-8 and 24-25?
***The dispute between Catholics and Calvinists over sola fides isn’t over whether faith is salvific. Of course it is. The argument is over whether faith can be salvific without works. And the Catholic position is that salvific faith inherently is accompanied by works. Faith without works is like a triangle that doesn’t have three sides.***
Well put, sir.
Christians need the Reformation like a fish needs a bicycle.
***I have never understood what is allegedly so great about prizing unity above truth.***
There are millions of differing ‘truths’ out there - one per Protestant. The Holy Spirit is God - we see no evidence of a latter day Tower of Babel - and has one Truth for all mankind.
Which, I suppose, is why liberals never get kicked out.
PS: For some reason, all Fundamentalist Protestants seem to agree that the world was created in six days less than six thousand years ago. Of course, agreement on this issue is just another "error" to most Catholics.

Umm, Jesus came for all men. Liberals are men, well humans, well, 23-chromosomes, or something.

The revival of Young Earth Creationism was in the 1920s and 30s by Seventh Day Adventists. Their adaption and development of the Middle Ages prescientific doctrine was adopted by many fundamentalists in the middle and latter portions of the 20th century.
This seems as odd to me as Reformers following government bureaucrats’ confessions of faith.
I didn't know there were Seventh Day Adventists in the Middle Ages! Surely no Catholic has ever believed in "young earth creationism," now, has he?
