    RoadRunner you are sooooooo funy! Please teach us some more "science".

    Of course you don't need to quote reliable scientific sources, I trust you already checked them to your entire satisfaction.

    I love how some creationists insist that the dinosaurs not only lived at the same time as humans, but also survived the Flood on the Ark.

    Doesn't the old (pre-1984) JW Bible show a 400 mile tall dinosaur trompin' thru Africa?

    By God, there's all the proof I need right there!

    Noah had no these creatures existed he did scour the earth looking for all the animals God created. There sure weren't any cars back then.

    I can't believe I just read roadrunners post... bad mistake.

    I'll never get that twenty-seconds back.

    The bible does mention great sea monsters and dragons which may be a reference to dinosaurs who knows. The science on this is undeniable denying facts is not productive and never helps your argument. In this instance you need to provide a theory that works with the scientific fact. Scientists have no interest in disproving scripture, their interest is in making sense of the physical world so start with that premise.

    We know there were dinosaurs and we know they lived more than 7,000 years ago. How does that fit with a creator and his grand purpose? What does it tell us about the Bible account? What can we learn from it?

    Let me ask those who questioned my theory.

    For a start, let's look att the scientific definition of the word theory.

    theory - a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world; an organized system of accepted knowledge that applies in a variety of circumstances to explain a specific set of phenomena; "theories can incorporate facts and laws and tested hypotheses"; "true in fact and theory"

    From http://www.thefreedictionary.com/scientific+theory

    So what you have is a hypothesis, and a pretty poor one at that. Although it is highly amusing that you think your wild speculations thought up in a drunken haze have the same validity as scientific theory. Tell me would you rather get on a plane designed according to scientific theory or would you rather get on one I think will work? Will you leave your house via the second floor window today because gravity is "just" a theory?

    Prior to the flood how close was the earth to the sun?

    Within the evolutionary time frame of life on earth the Earth has not significantly altered in its orbit around the sun. There has never been a global flood, there isn't enough water.

    Scientist believe that at one time there was a water canopy around the earth.

    No, they don't. A water canopy would kill everything on earth due to pressure. Since you are so good at research perhaps you could tell me the pressure at sea level if there were such a canopy. There was a mythbusters episode recently that demonstrated what happens to the human body when subjected to water pressure at just 300 feet depth. Don't watch it if you are squeamish it's a little grisly.

    How deep/thick was the water canopy?

    Zero, if you want human beings to survive the pressure.

    Now let's say God use a giant ice ball to break the water canopy.

    What, god wants to kill everyone twice?! Well, three times if you also take into account the hypothetical water canopy hurtling to earth as well as the hypothetical ice ball. Do you have any scriptural basis for this wild speculation?

    Thus causing craters on the earth. But in doing so he had to have the arth closer to the sun.

    Would he? Why would the Earth need to be closer to the sun? Which craters? Isn't he magic enough to defy the laws of physics? Because he would have to be suspending an awful lot of those laws to make your hypothesis work. I would ask if you have a scriptural basis for this but I have a feeling you are just pulling this stuff out of your arse.

    Huhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

    Dinosaurs around a few thousand years ago, let look at the geology shall we?

    Please show me where I said a few thousand years ago.. You're reading things I didn't post.

    Could I change the subject for just a moment?

    Did you name yourself RoadRunner4Speed because you have an old Plymouth 4 Speed Road Runner?

    Just wondering, because the paleontology seems to be going nowhere anyway.
