Regarding your first sentence, of course I still would not believe that there are fossil footprints of dinosaurs and humans such as to prove they coexisted. I have already seen the bogus evidence. Even other YECs say that what you said should not be used to support that conclusion.
I can tell you are really on top of this Dr. Dino thing. You use words like charged and arrested. Dr. Dino (Kent Hovind) is in prison, where he has been for more than 8 years. He was CONVICTED on 58 counts, many of which fall under the broad category of FRAUD. He is a FRAUD. Get it? And it wasn't some state, it was the federal government.
i am not on top of this Dr. Dino thing, that should be evident. i was merely commenting on what you have said, saying that he is a fraud because he taught that dinosaurs and humans coexisted. The question i presented is, Was he arrested and charged as a fraud for what he taught, or for something altogether different. How could he be arrested and charged with Fraud by the federal government for what he taught, freedom of speech is still effective in this country and can't be charged with Fraud for what one teaches or voices their opinions. So then if he was arrested and charged and as you testify is in prison right now, it is not for what he taught, but something else. Therefore you say he is a fraud because of what he taught, and that i do not agree with, because in this country you can't be charged with Fraud, no matter what you teach or believe or express your opinions. Now you may be arrested for other things, but not Fraud. Therefore for you to try to teach others that what he taught is wrong, because he was arrested for Fraud, does not prove or back up your belief that WHAT he taught is a Fraud. That is why i said, if you are going to accuse his teaching as a fraud, then show what he said that is Fraudulent, and prove it. Else it is his opinion that dinosaurs and humans walked together, and everyone is free to choose where they believe that or not.
Now as for me, i believe the Bible is 100% True, and the Scriptures teach that men lived to be 1,000 years old. Therefore if men lived that long, it is a good assumption that animals and plants did too. And lo and behold there are fossils of extremely large insects and the such, to see a few click
HERE.
So then if men and animals lived for a thousand years, is it so hard to fathom that animals became huge. Certain animals continue to grow until they die, alligators, turtles, and lizards all continue to grow larger until they die. The American alligator lives for 50 years, and gets to around 15 feet long. Now lets put that alligator during a time before the flood, and that alligator lives for a thousand years, how big would it be then. It would be 300 feet long growing at the same rate it does today. Tell me, would a 300 foot long alligator be considered a dinosaur? If an iguana lived for a thousand years, how big would it be, and would people call it a dinosaur?
The Bible itself talks about the size of the Behemoth and the Leviathon that breathes fire (Dragon) in the days of JOB. Found in the Book of JOB.
But then if you are one of those evolutionists, then you don't believe the Bible any ways, and it really doesn't matter what you believe, does it?
I disagree with Dr. Dino teaching that dinosaurs and humans coexisted. He says dinos are still on the earth. He teaches the fossil footprint nonsense, and a whole lot of other nonsense.
nonsense according to you, That is the gift of God, free choice, to choose what you want to believe and what you will reject. The Pharisees and Sadducees thought what Jesus taught was nonsense as well. i think what evolutionist teach is full of nonsense as well, and they think what creationist teach is full of nonsense as well. Free to choose what you will believe and what you will reject. That is why it is important, if you are going to discredit a man and his teaching as being fraudulent, that you give the reasons, proof, evidence, that supports what you claim, instead of merely saying he is a fraud because he is in prison for Fraud.
i hear you loud and clear accusing him as a Fraud, not can you give the reasons why you think he is. And please do not say, because i believe he is a fraud as your proof, evidence, or support. WHY do you think he is a fraud, tell us your reasoning, they why you believe he is.
i think any slander is not Godly. Where is your love for Mr Hovind? So you believe he is teaching false things, so you believe he is a fraud, is that a reason to accuse him, to NOT love him? Where is your Love for him, like Jesus would have for him?
eternally-grateful accused me of false slander.
And you did not like that, right? And how do you think Mr Hovind would like what you are saying about him? Is it not written "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" Therefore saying those things against Mr Hovind as you are saying them, would you like someone else doing the same to you? Apparently you did not like it when you felt that eternally-grateful was accusing you of false slander, so i am sure that Mr Hovind would not like it when you do the same to him.
