Dinosaurs explained biblically

"A young Creationist, maybe about TC's age but not nearly as well informed, once explained to me that dinosaurs are not extinct. You see, they are lizards, the very same species that are alive today and can be found in dry woodpiles and under rocks. Lizards apparently never stop growing, and in a hyperbaric pre-flood paradisiacal environment they got *really* *really* big. "
--Well I am embarrassed to admit that that sounds like me after a heavy dosage of them Hovind seminars & other such sophistry... Of course my nerve endings have expanded just a bit since then .--As for my thoughts on Dinosaurs, I'd agree with TB.-------------------[This message has been edited by TrueCreation, 10-29-2002]

Out of all the YECist 'evangelists' out there, why do the worst ones always become known? *Sniff Sniff* Me smell Hovind.------------------

"well for one thing.. I have never realy read any Hovind articles."
--Hovind doesn't write scientific articles. He only has his little 'seminars' and his bogus 'thesis'.------------------

"Concerning fossils and there construction.. everyone of them has to be made very quickly otherwise it is impossible for them to be made.. if a fish or a whale washes on shore and is not covered instananeously with the right amount of waters, minerals and what ever else than it fully decomposes... so the thought of any of them being covered by many thousands of years of sedimentary to fossilise can be scrapped. Correct me if I am wrong, but give me the scientific observation that can challenge that a fossil can be made in that way."
--Fossils will not decompose quickly at the bottom of lakes in anaerobic conditions. Also, you have an enormous misconception in sedimentology and deposition. After watching all them Hovind videos you must be aware of the concept of uniformitarianism. While you were brainwashed into Hovinds twisted misrepresentation of the concept, the gradual deposition of sediments is sometimes carried out in a catastrophic manor as well. Say by the mechanism of landslides and such. In a mainstream POV, after studying it a bit, you will notice much of the reason why we find various fossils is from burial in lakes and the bottom of other bodies of water.------------------
