Makes no difference what it looks like to us, the question is what did it represent to the people who built that temple. Just out of curiosity, what other documentation from that area do we have for dinosaurs co-existing with humans? Do we have any writings, tales, bones, anything?
What are you trying show here? It seems like you have cited documents that support what I said, but it is Monday morning after our parish festival, so my brain isn’t up to speed yet.
What an odd citation. I can’t find any info as to who the “Pro Evolution Society” is or the names of the 1,000 members who voted that man didn’t evolve. I can’t even find much about this person who seems to be very important to their decision - Dr. Michael Bisconti.
Be careful with denying that the earth has not been defined dogmatically as the center of the universe. There are those here who consider myself and all popes since about 1850 to be heretics because we don’t believe that the earth is the center of the universe.
Show me some biologists who think that the theory of evolution shows that africans are inferior to europeans.
Humans are 100% human. Their biology is not 100% new or else there would be no common ancestor.
The first life. How it began is not relevant to evolution. The only revelance is that life existed and then evolved.
Or corrals for the stegosauri? Paddocks and riding stables for the tyrannosauri?
Never mind. It must have been the festival.
, I don’t think I will accept him as a scientific expert.Tim, here’s the Creationist quote of the day:
Quite possibly. At the very least it points to the crying need for better science education. I find that most of the time when I’m teaching or otherwise communicating on evolution and religion, people don’t really understand what it is that evolutionary biologists claim, and what the limits of their claims are. They are flogging dead horses, or horses that never existed.Hmm…I assume that was a rhetorical question in that quote?
Peace Tim
Tim, do you think I could find a stegosaurus saddle on E-bay? Answers-in-Genesis either found used ones, or had theirs specially constructed.Hmm…I assume that was a rhetorical question in that quote?
Peace, Tim
nope not for me. I think Charles Darwin needed the deprogramming.wow … sounds like some deprogramming is in order
yeah I know … pesky logic and empirical evidence wrought through rigorous observation
because God and his word is infallable and man and science are fallableyeah I know … pesky logic and empirical evidence wrought through rigorous observation
Gosh why would anyone be convinced by that when there’s this really good 2,000 plus year old book lurking around telling us all those swanky carbon dating analysis’ are wrong
Humble, are you a real fan of empirical evidence? Why is it so important to you? Why is logic so important?
Since God also made the world, then God’s world is as infallible as His word. Since men are theologians as well as scientists then mens’ interpretations of Gods word are as fallible and mens’ interpretations of God’s world.
Correct. That is why Revelation protected by the Holy Spirit are so important,.
do you really have to ask that question of anyone? I blame Supertramp (remember the logical song). Seriously, logic and reason are, well, logical and reasonable. Who doesn’t prefer reason and logic over ignorance?
but science and theology can’t be compared in this sort of way. They’re not in the same universe scholastically speaking. Science offers tangible explanations for the physical realities of our universe, while theology is not tangible, we have no evidence the events theologians premise their various theories on actually happened (in fact we’re pretty sure the miraculous events described by the various world religions never happened).
