Don't you know that creationists have found dinosaur footprints in the same strata as human footprints?

​

Some creationists, not all, still tout the Paluxy River tracks as authentic evidence that humans and dinos co-existed.

​

Pathetic garbage is it? No, not when you are lying for God.

​

Dinosaurs are not mentioned in the bible but creationists, and others, will perform wonderful textual gymnastics to try and say that they are. Next thing they will 'find' in the bible is the instructions on how to build a pentium 4 chip, and if you read the bible WITH the Holy Spirit you can see it too!!

I'm surprised that they haven't use the cartoon "The Flintstones" as proof that humans and dinos lived side by side at the same time.

So, if your god does love us all than he/she/it will allow all into heaven without question of any sort. A parent loves their child enough to allow them to make their own choices in life, even if those are the wrong ones and yet will welcome them back home without a word against them. If not than that parent never truly loved their child. If you say otherwise than you believe in a lie.[This message has been edited by nos482, 11-02-2002]

If you are interested in seeing what I believe love to be than look up 1 Corinthians 13:4 to 8
and compare it with 1 John 4:8
I recommend you read the whole chapter of 13 and give it a serious thought session.

They don't answer the question. 1 Corinthians 13:4 to 8 doesn't speak of love at all and 1 John 4:8 is circular and meaningless in this context. Hell, torment, and the devil are made up by those, like you, who want both revenge on their perceived enemies and to feel that hey are superior over those who don't believe as they do.

Neanderthals are not a human ancestor.Not our direct ancestor, but still in the same tree and still interfertile. Their ancestors left Africa before ours did and they evolved along the way.

This is a convenient example of how science works; new facts come to light and sometimes cause old ideas to be changed. I think most of the evidence regarding Neanderthals not being our ancestors is from mtDNA extracted from remains. In recent years there has also been a contention about the ultimate demise of the Neanderthals, whether they merely went extinct or whether they interbred with the invading H. sapiens. Again, the evidence is against interbreeding but the issue is still kind of controversal and will continue to be until much more information is collected.

Wouldn't it be more like the invading Cro Magons?

Better a bad influence than no influence at all.
