Hello Magzilla

God created everything including dinosaurs. If you read Job 40 you will see that its even mentioned in the Bible. If you read it, and decide you still don't know or understand then just remember, the Bible explains in 1 Corinthians 13:9-13 that we only know partly, but we will one day know or understand everything.

Take care and God Bless

i have nothing to say to people who dont think the dinosours lived when they did that the bones arent real. if god is real he must be a very busy person y bother testing our faith. and if satan put it here well then when we go to hell because the fact that we believed in his bones we can all revolt against him i mean there has to be a lot of us and there's only one of him and we're already dead and going to deal with excruciating pain y not try to get rid of satan...and y in the world hasnt god done that yet he's had plenty of time....srry dinosaur r real and they lived long before humans excisted.

WoW more religious crazies who think the Earth is 5-6K years old. FOOLS one and all. Why dont you get a brain and go speak with a scientist to get facts, not some overpaid religious fool spewing on about a story and a book (the bible)! Why dont you start calling out people you dont like, deem them witches, dunk them in water, if they float they are witches and you burn them at the stake, if they sink (drown) they are not. Religions time is almost up, the more informed and intelligent the masses become, the more people decry it for what it is, a pathetic attempt gain power and money. Think of all the bad crap in world history and you can trace much of it back to religion.

Funny thing is, the bible is just a book of borrowed stories from hundreds of years ealier. The churches figured out they could control simple people with fear, based on the bible and collect money. When it is all said and done, the bible is just a book written by people. Jesus was a man, with a wife and kids, who was killed for his religious speaking, revisionist history turned him into the son of god. Science provides hard facts and provable theroy on the evolution of the Earth. Religion is created to explain away a scary big world and help people feel part of something bigger...whatever gets you through the day. But dont run around filling kids minds full of satan and evil, just to scare them into submission. Whats next, going back to believeing in witchdoctors, spells and curses???? Just remember, 5 billion years of verifiable historic record does not lie.

I believe in God, but I also believe in evolution. I don't think the Genesis account is literal, but believe that God works on an entirely different time table than we do. A day to him could be millions of years. Who knows? If dinosaur bones test your faith, your God is not big enough.

Neither. I believe in God, I believe that he made everything that is here on Earth and in our Universe. Us humans on Earth are selfish to believe that we are special enough to have God just make one planet amongest an infinate number just for us, no. Dinosars were here, the big band happened, there is proof of all this. But why did it happen? What was at the very beginning? God made all of this. Just like he had in other systems in the cosmos. Where "aliens" come from, we are ignorant to believe that there is no such thing as "aliens". If it happened to us of course it's happened else where, God made it happen. The bones of dinosaurs were very real and were just a fact, something that happened, a step that had to be taken before us humans could inhabit the Earth.

The belief came up by those that believe in God and only in God, those that refuse to accept the THEORY of evolution. They believe that bones are a fake and Satan had put them here on Earth to weaken our believe in God. I for one do not believe in this but that is where the belief came from.

The dinosaurs were here pre and post flood. they wer here just read Job!
JoBlow to tinymite January 16, 2009 17:13:45 (edited)

You really believe there was worldwide flood?! This has been proven false by thousands of scientists. Science and logic tell us that much water could never have covered the entire Earth, since the water content of the Earth does not change. It is like moisture in a greenhouse, it evaporates, then condenses and falls back to Earth.
Besides, the history behind the story of a great flood, predates the bible by over 500 years. Like all the stories in the bible, they have been borrowed from earlier verbal and written stories...as is all religion.

How can one believe in a magic being that has not once actually talked with any one? For all you know he is the evil, vile being described in the old testament. In that case you better convert to who the hell knows what or you’re going to hell.

Dinosaur bones are found here because they lived here long before man evolved. The Idea that God or Satan put them here to test our faith is ridiculous. There is no rational basis to draw such a conclusion. It shows how far some people will go to delude themselves. It's pretty scary that some people need to promote ideas like this to try to suppress the truth about natural processes. I've always said that you do not need to deny the existence of a creator to accept a natural process. I've also always felt that any religion that needed to try to keep it's followers faithful by intentionally keeping them ignorant didn't have a lot of credibility.

Answered: None of the above
Mag, I most definitely believe in God. I have always held the belief that we were created by God, in His image, but, I have never found anything in the Bible concerning evolution. As such, I hold the belief that God created man in His image, but through an evolutionary process. I believe that this scenario is entirely possible and if that is in fact what happened, then fossils are a very natural element without being a trick by Satan or a test of faith by God.

If you believe the bible...It is fair to consider the scripture that says for the Almighty, "a day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years is as a day." I believe the Creator uses Point Mutation...a key evolutionary concept to further the ongoing process of creation. It is scientifically unsound to believe in a single creation attempt...Even if all you can see is a child born for proof.

I believe that all of creation has evolved since the beginning of time. I don't believe that things of historical nature are here to either deceive us nor test any faith. It has been because of this natural evolution that has given the expansion of the mind, that has allowed us to look back at what once was during the timeless evolution. I just hope that people can/will learn from the mistakes of the past to help create a better future.

If you read the description you would understand why I asked the question. I also posted a blog about how annoying I am finding it to be that people are assuming this is some way for me to make fun of religious people. I also talk about in my blog how annoying it is that both Christians and atheist are assuming and have resorted to call me names because people on both sides think this is an attack on what they believe.
