T-Rex on Noahs Ark?

Bwahahaha!

Where do they find losers like evangelist Duplantis, and why would anyone give him the money for TV time to put forth his crackpot theory that T-Rex and all the other dinosaurs took a ride on the ark?  :rolleyes:

Hilarious stuff, he's almost worth watching for the comedic value.

I believe that many of the stories in the Old Testament are symbolic. So do leading theologians.

There still are...chickens are a direct relative genetically just to mention one.

Funny, this BBS is a one way street, non-believers always trying to disprove believers (thread starters)...sounds like insecurity amongst the non-believers. ;)

You'll notice my lack of participation in most religious threads, mainly due to respect for others beliefs, and partly due to the fact that I'm one of those folks that is a God-fearing individual who also happens to believe in the scientific evolution process, but someone or something started it all, and thats the God-fearing part of me. :)

Hmmmm, now that you mention it, I did note a lack of participation on your part in the E vs. C thread. You should be ashamed of yourself.:) So close to 300 posts, and Rip didn't help.:p

In the April edition of "Discovery" magazine there is an article about the creation of the universe.  According to the "inflationary theory" the universe sprang into being from a point in space one-billionth the size of an electron.  The full theory is too detailed to go into here, but most scientists accept the notion that the universe sprang into being from nothing from this tiny point.  The forces impelling this event were a type of negative gravitational effect and the matter springing into existence from this point somehow "dragging" the other matter into existence.

The scientist who formulated this theory is an agnostic.  He does make the statement that, since the point in space was so small, it might be possible for this event to be "created."  He believes an advanced civilization might have the capability of recreating this event.

Hmmmm!  If an advanced civilization could do it, why could God not do it?

Missed a good one, Rip. As it happens, that very point was made.

WRT the latest theory of the beginning of the universe, it still doesn't explain something from nothing. Not that I want to rehash this again here- go to E vs. C if you want to read the transcript. Some interesting opinions and ideas forwarded.

Anybody remember Oral Roberts?

 Funny, there are enormous religious organisations actively spreading the faith - the churches are working full time, missionaries, TV evangelists, publications, people sticking some kind of booklets to the pedestrians, etc. Seems like insecurity among believers. After all, if the faith is true and God-inspired, it would not have to rely on some guys to bring it to people.
 There is no organised anti-religious propaganda that can even begin to compare to the religious one. If we (atheists/agnostics) make some funny observation on apparent stupidity of some religious nut on this board, you should give us a break. After all, you read it when you want to. We are not waking you up with the damned bells ringing! :)

Miko, we had Easter last Sunday...

I turned on my TV in the morning (a quite rare thing for me), and what I saw!? A show called "How to celebrate Easter", and the host (veduschiy) was Nikolay Drozdov! That Nikolay Drozdov from "V mire zhivotnih"!!! "In the world of animals"!!! The same guy who still talks about evolution and Darvinism!

While I just dodge the debate entirely, there are many out there who would disagree with you.

This book goes on and on about it

Everyone know that the Evil Atheist Conspiracy Dinosaur Fossil Factory is responsible for spreading the lies about there having been dinosaurs.

I mean, it's the same stunninghunks who torpedoed Noahs Ark II.

And you GOTTA check out the SlaveGirl application. It's the reason I'm an atheis...err.no, I'm not that..

And no, I'm not a member of the EAC UDT (Underwater Demolitions Team, alt.atheism, id 1116), nor have I ever adhered to the filthy demonic practise of religious atheism!
