Re: Dinos
Actually Scientifically, unless scientists could look over ever inch of the earth at the same time and see that no dinos exist, only then could we say that they are "extinct" but it is because of evolutionary ideas that we are lead to believe that they don't exist.
I'm afraid at that extreme (every inch ... at the same time) your suggestion is obviously very silly. Let's say I could scan all of north america at once then 1 month later all of africa and found no dinosaurs. Then at monthly intervals the rest of the continents. Could I then not safely give a high probability conclusion that there are not dinosaurs? If not why not?

Funny then, that two things are true:
1) People with cameras live all over the Earth, on every continent, and yet nobody has any pictures of dinosaurs.
2) Scientists concluded that dinosaurs represented an extinct taxa of organisms before Charles Darwin published The Origin of Species.
How could scientists make a conclusion based on "evolutionary ideas" before those ideas had been published?

How do you say something in your heart anyway? Doesn't that take some expensive surgical equipment and a very small loudspeaker?

Re: 65 million years..
Wollemi Pine....Supposedly extinct 65 million years ago (Specimens in fossil record) alive and well today in Australia almost identical to it's fossil relative.
Point = If evolution occurs by mutations over long periods of time. Why after 65 million years is the Wollemi Pine unchanged?

The Fool
First off...
I am not calling anyone names. I'm stating a fact. Anyone who does not believe in God is a fool, because he is ignorant. He denies blantant evidence in his face. He denies the obvious.
Secondly....
Science has proven me right. How long has the science community deemed the Wollemi Pine extinct? And now we find that it is alive a well, growing in Australia. Enough said there....
Thridly...
There were "evolutionary ideas" long before Darwin. Darwin was not the originator of the paradigm. An ancient greek philosopher from the 3rd century BC (don't quote me on the time period) is credited with it's founding. Evolution was at work long before Darwin. In fact Darwins Grandfather (Erasmus Darwin) was an Evolutionist.

To say something in your heart is poetically symbolic. It means to believe it with all your heart. Didn't you ever take an English 102 class?

Re: The Fool
Oh please do start a thread with this "blatant evidence" that God exists. We'll see just who is ignorant.
But somehow I think you'll just get more insulting, not less, when the truth comes out.
