  Hooberus,

  What if the Dinosaurs originally lived with man, and the prey/predator cycle came into being after the fall of man?

  What if unicorns built space ships? This question has just about as much relationship to reality as yours.

  There is absolutely no evidence that Dinosaurs co-existed with humans, or even our primate ancestors. Even if they did, predation had been going on long before the dinosaurs.

  Anyway, why would god change the basic feeding behavior of thousands of species of animals just because of the fall of man? How did god do this without upsetting the balance of nature? Is there a transition in the fossil record when animals went from 100% herbivore to a mixture? (predation structures such as canine teeth, claws, etc. as well as defense structures such as shells, horns, etc.) Did viruses and parasites not exist before the fall of man? If they did, then how did they eat?

  Your proposition brings up more questions than it attempts to answer.

  Dan the man, excellent reasoning.Seems as though Satan would try and do nice things to others to gain converts.

  Because the WTBTS was everything and the Truth, when one finds it is not one questions everything including the Bible itself and even the existence of God and Jesus -- to me it is so logical that ex JWs should take this path -- I am currently walking it -- though not an atheist yet.

  Actually I never questioned God and the bible until I came here. That might sound bad to some but let me explain.

  It was this site, that I had ever heard of the critical side to these subjects. I had never read, or discussed at any depth, the possibility that the bible is in error, or the idea "God" isn't real. I was a dub, then a christian.......it was the only material I read. It was here, that others had already taken the "path" mentioned. When I began listening to their reasoning, re-searching the truthfulness of their statements.....then I began to see a side I had not known before.

  What gets me is that many abbandon or the bible with so little conviction. Many do not study the history behind christianity and the bible, yet leave these things behind them for what seems to me......menial reasons. They see hypocracy, a lack of love, or cannot understand the scriptures........and these things can cause them to leave. It took more for me........just like it did when I left the dubs.................it took some provable facts.
