Re: To return to the original topic
Buz, you claim dinosaurs and humans co-existed.
Coyote writes:
Show me an instance in which dinosaur and human bones or man-made artifacts have been found in the same context.
We have a lot of examples of humans co-existing with extinct mammals, such as the mammoth and mastodon, but no dinosaurs.
Where are the bones?
Since before the flood, the bones would nearly all have had either been in shallow graves or rotted on the surface. Given the uniformity non catastrophic period from creation of animals to the time of the flood, non of the bones of either man nor kino would have been preserved by fossilization. Likey, as I've alluded, relatively (I say relative) few of all existing pre-flood dinos would have died during that 1500-1800 time frame from alleged day six of creation.
At the time of the flood and previous, likely few, if any dinos and humans mingled close enough to have been catastropically buried in the earth to fossilize together.
As the flood began to rise, mankind, being the creature of high intelligence would, unlike the dinos, had the intelligence to seek the best last bastions of survival which would have been, in most cases, substantially separate from the dinos, having the ability to climb to greater heights, float on debris for a spell, etc.
There are claims by Carl Baugh and others of human superimposed footprints over that of dinos. I'm not convinced that all of the have been imperically refuted, nor am I able, without more knowledge to adamantly argue for them.

Why would this be a problem for us, pray tell? Does anyone here say that if snakes coexisted with dinosaurs, they had to have died along with them as well? What a weird thing to claim, given the evidence is suggesting this is far from the case.
Huntard, perhaps you should reread carefully what you responded to and get back to me on that. You're response makes no sense relative to my statement and needs some clarification.

Percy writes:
Can we therefore agree that there is no evidence for "the curse" or for the effects of curses? And that therefore no causal connection can be drawn between "the curse" and any observations you might happen to make about the natural world?
The curse is part of the premise which is in the Genesis record. That record states that at some point the long legged reptile type would cease to exist and the descendents of it would be belly crawling (implicating short legged) types of reptiles.
The evidence cited by me depicts two examples of extinct long legged type reptiles, i.e. the prototypes and the respective belly crawling reptile types that did not become extinct; that survived and thrived abundantly and which are observable today. The Buzsaw premise and thesis is based on the fact that indeed evidence of this has been observed as the premise predicted.
The above lends evidentual support to the prediction in the Genesis record and renders a reasonable explanation for the disappearance of the dinosaur type reptiles.
I see Coyote has opted out of this thread and you appear to have a problem with my claims of evidence. Perhaps it could be moved to the Freeforall, continued as a new topic in Freeforall or simply closed.
This is just another example of why it becomes so difficult for bonafide Biblical creationists to debate anything in the science fora here at EvC. I don't know what the solution is. I have tried to keep it as scientific as possible, but as you know, anything implying ID directly or indirectly implies an intelligent creator/manager.
I don't think it's to the benefit of anyone if debates like this become so technically difficult that Biblical premises become intolerable.
If the data which I've cited, (all I have at this time) is considered moot as evidence by you and perhaps others on your staff, just say the word and I'll be done with this topic.

Re: Evidence Of Curse
Percy writes:
How are you going to connect this event to "the curse" for which there is no real world evidence?
World evidence? I assumed that the fossils were the world evidence of my premise which is the Genesis declaration of the cause and effect of the curse, the cause being that a long legged reptile was empowered to deceive mankind, cursing the reptile types. I use the term, reptile here since serpent was the only word for reptile types in the ancient language applied.
This, as with so many evolution/creation debates gets into the realm of whether Satan, Jehovah, angels and other aspects of invisible intelligence exist and operate in and out of the human realm. This is why world evidence in such debates as this involves that old debate as to whether there is indeed a higher form of intelligence operative on planet earth and the cosmos than that of humans.
This is why it becomes difficult to debate anything in the science fora relative to EvC (evolution vs creationism) and keep it secular. Again, I don't know what the solution to that is.
I've tried to answer your question here. I'm not understanding why the evidence cited is not world evidence, so hopefully you will elaborate a bit on what you're calling for here.
(ABE: Since the topic is whether dinos and humans co-existed, likely the Genesis record would be the most likely source for a premise to the co-existance of the these. It also, of course, implicates the question of dating methodology and that implicates whether the flood happened, though those are different topics. For that reason, I suggest that perhaps the topic should be in a forum which accomodates discussion of this type. )

Re: Applicaton Of Change
PaulK writes:
In fact the curse is placed on a single individual reptile and the only implication is that it has legs long enough that it should not be considered belly crawling.
1) The context clearly implicates curses on all descendents of the three which were cursed in what is known as the fall or the original sin. First, the serpent/reptile was cursed to become a belly crawler. We observe that the surviving reptiles are relative belly crawlers having either short legs or no legs. 2ndly, the woman was cursed to have painful births (abe: and to be subserviant to her husband. Thus, the observed phenomena in nearly all cultures of all ages of the leadership role of the man. My purpose in citing this is not to go off topic but to show that, as with the reptile, the application of the curse was not singular) We observe that this applies to all womem. 3rdly, the man was cursed to making his living by the sweat of his brow. As an aside the ground was cursed to bring forth thorns and briers, etc. So again, the clear implication that the curse was not exclusive singularly.
2) Snakes are reptiles which have no legs whatsoever. Thus it can be concluded that before the curse, snake prototypes had legs, according to the Genesis record which is my premise. We know that no snakes have legs, thus the curse did not apply singularly.

As I pointed out, we observe that NOT all reptiles are belly-crawlers. The komodo dragon for instance has legs quite long enough for it to walk without dragging its belly in the dust.
Now you're getting picky-uny. Relative to most animals, they are close to the ground and likely more time than most passes on the belly.

In addition the curse on the serpent included a transformation of the actual individual,
Now, you're treading water and consuming my valuable time. I've covered this repeatedly, that other aspects of physiology would become necessary adaptations for a different environ.
PaulK writes:
(And as we have seen the evidence clearly shows that there were dinosaurs which produced infants with legs, even after the appearance of snakes, so the evidence firmly contradicts the idea that even that part of the curse was extended to all dinosaurs).
How about your source for this? Show and tell time.
As for the rest of your message, my evidence cited does account for different strokes for different folks among the dino prototypes and their respective types, i.e. the gator and snake etc.

The dinosaurs did not go extinct in an ice age. The Ice Ages were something that happened within the past 2 to 3 million years, and the most recent one ended just at the edge of recorded human history.
The dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago, more than 60 million years before the Ice Ages. They were killed in some sort of catastrophic event, most commonly attributed to an asteroid collision.
Thanks, Bluejay for explaining this. However the problem for the evolutionist explanation remains, why was the catastrophy exclusive to the dinosaurs while the co-existing belly crawling and short legged reptiles survived and thrived?
The Genesis explanation for that remains the only sensible explanation for that so far as I'm aware.

Re: Real World Evidence Of Curse
Percy writes:
Clarifying once again, "real world evidence" means evidence from the real world, like the evidence for fossils is real world evidence. What is your real world evidence that there is such a thing as "the curse?"
The real world evidence is the same evidence that evolutionists use. It is the observable fact that the dinos became extinct. The difference is that little is said by evolutionists as to why the whatever catastropy which allegedly wiped out the dinos left the short legged and belly crawling ones surviving and thriving. In this whole thread, none of my counterparts have come up with anything significant in response to my repeated appeals for a viable explanation. Therefore, I am claiming that this is real world evidence (not claiming proof, but supportive evidence) of the curse as depicted in the Genesis record which is the premise for my thesis.
Creationists usually use the same real world evidence as evolutionists. It's all in how that evidence is interpreted. That's what the EvC debates are about, as I understand it; so that different PoVs can be aired and may the truth prevail in the end, that all may benefit, including the guests.

Re: Evidence Of Curse
Hyroglyphx writes:
Percy is saying that there is no evidence that one day *poof* their legs fell off and now they're snakes, with or without fossils. There is only evidence of different kinds of reptiles and sauropods.
I've explained that. The real world evidenced fact remains that by and large, the dinos were not around 4300 or so years ago and the shorties and belly crawlers were alive and well.
As I have explained repeatedly, the parent cursed dinos would not have been zapped, but their egg genes were altered so that the hatched offspring became the shorty type reptiles. All remaining parents were gone with the flood is the implication.
Hyroglypx writes:
Aside from which there is no morphological similarity between a snake and various reptiles. You couldn't just rip the legs off of a reptile and suddenly it would resemble a snake.
Have you been reading and clicking on my cited evidence? I've covered this which explains your problem.
Why is that? Is this a tacit way of saying that people who don't see things your way are under the wiles of some kind of demonic deception?
It was Satan who allegedly deceived the woman via the reptile.
And yet Genesis is completely silent on the issue. One would think that if monstrous beasts roamed with man, the author would have chronicled it. The only mention of anything remotely relating to what could be construed as a Sauropod is in the book of Job, long after the dino's would have been dead according to The Flood theory.
There was only 8 people allegedly surviving the flood. The only record would be in the fossils etc.
Then of course the physical evidence doesn't stand up to scrutiny, as dinosaur remains are found much, much lower in the strata layers than humans. Then there is the radiometric dating disparity. No doubt you will argue that C14 dating is inaccurate, so I'm not sure we'll ever get anywhere in the debate. The point is that there is a mountain of evidence that contradicts the human/dinosaur connection. What, if not the obvious, will lend credence to notion that they didn't coexist?
I've explained that humans were able to survive the longer than the dinos, being intelligent so likely the dinos and humans would likely not be found together after the alleged flood. You're right. If there was a flood and a different earrth surface topography and atmosphere the pre-flood element makeup would have been such that radiometric dating would be skewed, Imo.

No. The evidence which better satisfies the co-existing dino/shortie problem you have yet to explain, as to just the dinos (I say dinosaurs themselves-not their descendents) at large, became extinct exclusively and relatively suddenly.

1) Your summary of my position is correct. Thanks for getting it right.
2) There would have been dino eggs laid or young born near but before the time of the curse. These young would have co-existed with the non-dino reptiles for a period of time while they were maturing. Peryaps, also, the freshly laid eggs of that group took longer to hatch than the others, having the larger embryo.
