In my mind that also suggests that science and our faith as taught by Christ, the apostles, church fathers and doctors of the church should not conflict. In other words the Blessed Trinity created the universe and us from nothing and knows all the laws that were set in motion and all the events that occurrred. - These laws and events should not conflict with our scientific observations coming from field and laboratory research. I mention the Holy Trinity because that feast day was celebrated this past Sunday, June 3.
Since the Holy Trinity created all life forms we should find evidence of their existence in the fossil record in what science calls the geologic column. And since Christ and the doctors of the church agree that there was a massive flood that wiped all who walked on the earth what then does man actually observe and what is the most accurate calculated time-line with which intelligent man can determine?
Of course there will be some that will disagree like Richard Dawkins et al. but it is very interesting to note that there are now three major concordant observations regarding the example of dinosaurs that allegedly became extinct 65 million years ago:
(1) There are “distinct” dinosaur depictions in almost every major nation of the world on mosaics, rocks, rock formations, buildings etc. Since most of these “dragons” of the past alias “dinosaurs of the present” (as of 1841) are distinct like we see in museums and books of today the most logical conclusion is that artistic men of the past saw some dinosaurs that were alive as St. Damacene pointed out in his eighth century AD discussions of “dragons” that were alive in his day [search the Internet for his article] - also

(2) There are “pristine” fossil human and dinosaur footprints discovered during many excavations along the Paluxy River in Texas. Of course that has been a major controversy for 30 some years but within the past 3-4 years, four or five of the discovered footprints and one hand print have been validated by CT-scans - meaning the original mud, now rock was compressed or densified under the footprint impressions - Validation of fossil human footprints with dinosaurs

(3) Now along comes a new time-line: Direct C-14 dating of dinosaur bones from Texas to Alaska, even China and Europe have confirmed dinosaur bones are 2000 times younger than what dating of the rocks by Lyellian assumptions and radiometric dating claim. They are only 1000’s of years old, not 65 to 225 million.

So what’s the point? Reality is when Christ, his church, metaphysics and true scientific observations come together to proclaim “reality.” All the church fathers and doctors agree with Christ and His Word. Modern scientific observations in just this one area on dinosaurs alone agree with the Church. And there are many more scientific disciplines in the study of sedimentology, genetics, population equations that are in agreement with our Church that are NOT of a speculative nature.
