Featured Dinosaurs on the Ark

Teenage dinosaurs -- quite unruly.

 

I doubt that dinosaurs were on the ark.

 

Why would you doubt that when we have historical records of them being around after the flood?

 

What historical records?

 

How about the book of Job?
Aslo from history

And I am of the belief that the dinosaurs were destroyed by the flood, but it's not a hill worth dying on. I am thankful that they're not here NOW!!!!. Especially the T-Rex!! :laugh:

 

Isn't it plausible that Job took place pre-flood? Seeing that it is supposed to be the oldest of the OT books, this could have been a written account pre-flood. Again, not a hill worth dying on, but I do not think the link provided supports, or refutes, either belief of dinosaurs being on the ark or being destroyed by the flood.

 

No it is not plausible based on Job 22:15-17. These people clearly knew about the flood having already happened. Job was after the flood based on those passages..

 

The remarks by Job about leviathan were probably based on tradition handed down from Noah just as were some other flood stories! But this is not something I deeply care about.

 

Yea Right! Hard to admit when you are wrong isn't it :laugh::laugh::laugh:

 

Furthermore, it's not worth getting in a "tizzy" about it either. This doesn't further the preaching of the Gospel one iota. But we baptists will debate the "non-essentials" as hard, if not harder, than the essentials. That's why associations, and churches split SOOOOOO much.

 

This is not about the gospel. This is a discussion about the ark so it is proper. There were dinos after the flood based on both history and the bible account.

 

No I am not admitting I am wrong. I said earlier that I did not believe dinosaurs were on the Ark. I still believe that!:smilewinkgrin::smilewinkgrin::smilewinkgrin::smilewinkgrin:

 

Mere opinion, hence begging the question.

 

Wasn't Einstein's theory questioned a few months back with the discovery that light is not the fastest?

 

Lets talk about credibility. "Settlerfield" could run credibility rings around you, pj. He has clearly done his homework - and built upon a Christian foundation.

I am pretty convinced that you know next to nothing about him, seeing that you can't even get his name right. I doubt that you have read him. His work, along with ones like Russell Humphreys's "Starlight and Time", are very helpful and informative.

I like especially this quote from Setterfield:

"It is never good science to ignore anomalous data or to eliminate a conclusion because of some presupposition. Sir Henry Dale, one-time President of the Royal Society of London, made an important comment in his retirement speech: "Science should not tolerate any lapse of precision, or neglect any anomaly, but give Nature's answers to the world humbly and with courage." To do so may not place one in the mainstream of modern science, but at least we will be searching for truth and moving ahead rather than maintaining the scientific status quo."

Why don't you do a little researching, pj, before you shoot from the lip and embarrass yourself?

 

There was an early indication from experiments conducted with the super collider [France and Switzerland] that a particle had exceeded the speed of light. I read something just recently that the data were faulty.

In regard to the comments regarding Setterfield above. I believe he is trying to solve the apparent problem of travel of light from distant stars by considering that the speed of light during the first week was higher than current. Another astro-physicist, Russell Humphrey is looking at the same problem considering the General Theory of Relativity and time dilation. I have read a book by Humphrey called Starlight and Time. I could follow the text okay but the mathematics was far beyond me.

I don't know whether either of these men will come up with something that is valid but they are causing other astro-physicists to become involved if only to prove these two men wrong. Another astro-physicist named Lisle is currently at the Institute for Creation Research. Will be interesting to see what comes of that.

I think both of these men are admirable for their efforts in the field of Creation Science. I am sure many remember the very lucid posts that Setterfield's wife, Helen, has posted on this Forum. Both she and her husband are to be admired!

Finally I will say that regardless of what these fine Christians come up with regarding Creation Science I believe that God created all that exists out of nothing in six 24 hour days, that He sustains His Creation, that He will bring all His chosen ones to salvation, and then comes the END!
