Ok folks, at this point, you need to switch your bullshit detectors off lest they suffer damage from a massive overload. I've only recently had to rebuild mine due to just that, and I wouldn't want it to happen to anyone else.
In this screevening, none other than that internationally famous expert on all things dinosaurian, Ken Ham, expounds upon his lengthly studies into What Really Happened to the Dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are used more than almost anything else to indoctrinate children and adults in the idea of millions of years of earth history. However, the Bible gives us a framework for explaining dinosaurs in terms of thousands of years of history, including the mystery of when they lived and what happened to them. Two key texts are Genesis 1:24–25 and Job 40:15–24.
Are Dinosaurs a Mystery?
Many think that the existence of dinosaurs and their demise is shrouded in such mystery that we may never know the truth about where they came from, when they lived, and what happened to them. However, dinosaurs are only a mystery if you accept the evolutionary story of their history.
According to evolutionists: Dinosaurs first evolved around 235 million years ago, long before man evolved.1 No human being ever lived with dinosaurs. Their history is recorded in the fossil layers on earth, which were deposited over millions of years. They were so successful as a group of animals that they eventually ruled the earth. However, around 65 million years ago, something happened to change all of this—the dinosaurs disappeared. Most evolutionists believe some sort of cataclysmic event, such as an asteroid impact, killed them. But many evolutionists claim that some dinosaurs evolved into birds, and thus they are not extinct but are flying around us even today.2
There is no mystery surrounding dinosaurs if you accept the Bible's totally different account of dinosaur history.
According to the Bible: Dinosaurs first existed around 6,000 years ago.3 God made the dinosaurs, along with the other land animals, on Day 6 of the Creation Week (Genesis 1:20–25, 31). Adam and Eve were also made on Day 6—so dinosaurs lived at the same time as people, not separated by eons of time.

He has also taken the time to come up with some splendid illustrations to bolster his formidable nonsense absurdity theory:
Stop laughing! This is serious shit! How can you expect to fully understand the depth and reach of this scholarly paper if you continue to roll on the floor?! This is not a Cheech & Chong party, you know!
What's of great interest is the footnotes. The redoubtable Ham references none other than Jack Horner & Mary Schweitzer among other scientists, as well as various creation floggers such as the Morris boys, Carl Wieland, and Duane "Bullfrawg" Gish.
It really is an enlightening read and a little later, I'm going to dig through some of the links in the footnotes.
Enjoy; I did!

Well, you can't fault Ham for not trying. He gives enough passing references to real science that it's clear he's not ignorant of the facts. I don't think he believes his Creationist screed for a moment, but it's a cash cow for him, and he's going to keep pushing these precious lies.
After all, Ham's got tens of millions of other people's money invested in his Creation Circus. These are valuable lies, however absurd they seem to knowledgeable people, because Ham needs them for his specialty of ripping off the ignorant and dull of wit.

In the flood scene there appears to be a number of swimming dinosaurs and prehistoric fish floundering. How exactly did the flood kill them again? And if it killed them, why didn't it kill the whales, dolphins, sharks and sea turtles???
And why didn't Noah put any dinosaurs on the Ark? He got lions, tigers and bears on the Ark, why not a few of the more moderately sized dinos like velociraptors or triceratops? Or did God instruct him not to and then proceed to forget to inspire the Bible's authors to write about that instruction? One could see why they might overlook recording tha tall the giant dragon-like beasts died in the flood, what with dinosaurs being so unremarkable and uninteresting.
Or maybe their destruction and the lack of record in the bible was intentional. Perhaps dinosaurs had delved too far into homosexuality and other perversions and were therefore not spared in the flood. Could dinos have been sinful? And if so, does that mean they had souls? |
