If the origins of life from General Revelation match that of Special Revelation, then we have a winner....and we know to follow the God of the Holy Bible.

And if double bubble was free then we would all be happy. Where is your faith? in science? or the cross? the cross is the only thing that will make a difference and not some atom exploding, nor giant dinosaurs that are now birds.

We are commanded by God Himself to test and understand the physical things as being true as a prerequisite for believing in the non-physical things.

Why do you think that Jesus spoke in parables?

Jesus spoke in parables to fulfill the prophecy that having eyes to see they could not see and ears to hear they could not hear. but, to His disciples He explained the parables and the parables themselves were not lies as God cannot lie or that would destroy His righteousness and therefore render the bible or His word as of no effect.

If I tell you earthly things, and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? (John 3.12)


Comprehension of the physical BEFORE the spiritual.

God, Himself, tells us this....and this is why Jesus spoke in parables.

So what did it begin with and why does it matter to you?

I believe in a plain reading of Genesis and the creation account. A six 24-hour day creation, a roughly 6,000 year old creation, dinosaurs being created one day prior to humans, not millions of years earlier and dying out before we came along. That sort of thing.

Let's pursue that line of reasoning.....why make T-rex's if they are only going to live for 24hrs?!

Back to my point, so what if T-rex stomped through my living room. What does that change?

Bowman. Wow. Your "logic" is staggering. Way to go and twist what I said. I believe humans and dinosaurs walked the earth at the same time for much of the history of the world, but that God created dinosaurs one 24-hour day before He created human beings. Not that they only lived for 24-hours.

So....a lot of people must have been killed by T-rex then, right, brother....since they supposedly lived at the very same time....so...where in ANY ancient literature is this recorded...?

There's lots of ancient literature and histories from all around the world (including the Bible eg. winged serpent) regarding reptilian-like beasts that most certainly are not Komodo dragons or crocodiles or the like. Dragons didn't just spring from people's imaginations, they witnessed strange beasts, some of them giant, and exaggerated them over the generations into something altogether fanciful. But you take the legends at there most base level - someone battling/killing a great reptilian-like beast. There are ancient sculptures and engravings etc. This isn't some nut-job cryptology belief, this is something together far more plausible.

If humans lived with the carnivorous dinosaurs they would have become extinct, themselves, brother.

The Holy Bible is the BEST record of the history of the world....please show me where humans were killed and eaten by T-rex dinosaurs...

Tin, you know better. The cross is the only thing that really means something. Love you brother.
