Come on! Rashakil Fol was being sarcastic. :icon_rolleyes:
Yeah, I guess people just don't really know when someone is being sarcastic. But I just recently found that out about Rashakil. He has that type of personality, so I don't take stuff like that seriously. ;) They don't know him yet.
For the record, Rashakil Fol has a humorous/sarcastic personality, so don't take any offense to what he says. (as I did...)
Yeah, remember midterms this past year? They went back down into the two twenties around where I live. Maybe it depends more on where you live but our senator, Mike Dewine, was running for reelection. He lost to Sherrod Brown (Democrat). They probably do it because it makes people think, "Things are going fine the way they are" and makes it easier for the incumbents to get reelected.
Ahh, I didn't see any difference over here. But maybe I just wasn't paying attention. ;)
Oh, I didn't know all of that, but do you think that they lived at the same time? That seems kind of hard to believe.
Yeah, that's what a lot of people said to me. Honestly, I don't know. I think it is possible that there might have been a couple of dinosaurs left during that time. But who really knows? Almost anything is possible.
At around the 1840's, a famous British scientist (and creationist), Dr Richard Owen, coined the name ‘Dinosauria,’ meaning ‘terrible lizard,’ for this is what the huge bones made him think of. A lot of Scientists believe that dinosaurs were called dragons before the word dinosaur was invented in the 1800s. And there was no word for "dinosaur" in the Hebrew language... the Bible does talk about "dragons" though. There was evidence that dinosaurs did exist during the time of Job (after the flood). In Job 40:15-24, it describes an animal, called "behemoth," possibly the biggest land animal God had ever created. Impressively, in Job, it describes that this animal moved his tail like a cedar tree! Although some Bible commentaries say that this may have been an elephant or hippopotamus, the description actually fits that of the Brachiosaurus. Elephants and hippos certainly do not have tails like cedar trees. Actually, very few animals are singled out in the Bible for such a detailed description.
Also, surprisingly, many of these descriptions of dragons fit with how modern scientists would describe dinosaurs, even Tyrannosaurus. Unfortunately, this evidence is not considered valid by evolutionists. Why? Only because their belief is that man and dinosaurs did not live at the same time!

yeah But at the same time dinosaurs were never mentioned in the bible but there is no controversy of their existence. Their fossils were found in the ground.
Again, the Bible does mention dinosaurs. It just doesn't have the word 'dinosaur' in it, simply because there wasn't a word for it in Hebrew back then. Scientists believe that they might have called it a dragon instead of a dinosaur.
I don't think anything can disprove/approve the non existence of God. (That's the non-biased opinion.)
But as for my personal opinion, I think it is almost impossible to believe that there is not a deity that controls the universe and world we live in. It just seems too absurd for me.
same. thats why i like college, at college we have chinese, indian/pakistani, nepalese (lots of them because the gurrkas work at a place near us), bengali, you name it!, i like college. its a good place to meet different people
In my area, there is no ethnic diversity whatsoever. I'm about as ethnic as it gets here. ;) But as a result of this, many people here are very prejudice and discriminative towards anyone who does not look like a 'pure American.' As a child, I was always made fun of for looking Chinese, although I am 50% American and 50% Korean. It's really a sad thing to have discrimination in a country that is supposed to be one of the most ethnic diverse. But that's usually only present in rural areas, big cities almost always have several different cultures and races.
I also thought of an idea that I didn't mention earlier. Someone that truly believes the bible word for word would say that God is so powerful he spread the waters of the Red Sea, sent the plagues (however it's spelled), gave a son to the world that could turn water to wine, etc. If you believe all that is true then obviously God can bend and break the rules of science, being the creator of those rules. How else could He do those things? Knowing that, He could have put fossils in the ground, changed the structure of the layers of the Earth, created organisms alike and made it appear as though evolution were possible. That would seperate the true believers from the nonbelievers. It's a stretch but it's possible.
Sure, it's definitely possible. I don't have a doubt that God wouldn't have the ability to do something like that. The only thing is, Christians believe in what the Bible says. That is what we follow as our guide. And that being said, if the Bible discussed God putting fossils in the ground and whatnot, we would surely believe this. But the thing is, we don't know. We only follow what Genesis has written in it. So therefore, Christians usually do not agree with evolution.
