I work with a Jehovah Witness, his excuse for the existence of dinosaur bones is that God has planted them on Earth, to test our faith in him.

When I was seven I asked the same qestion at sunday school just after the god created the earth in six days story. I was told I was spoiling it for everyone and to shut up. My mum was asked not to take me again if I kept disrupting the lessons.

If you buy or read the Daily Mail you deserve everything that happens to you.

I don't understand why everyone makes the mail out to be a really bad newspaper. I don't find it has any more or less slant than the Guardian. Just take all newspapers with a pinch of salt and there is no losing.

you don't have to believe in the old testament to be a christian believer.

Still waiting for the scientists to explain life, how it happens.

It's a little known fact that the feeding of the 5000 wasn't actually using fish, but Jesus got his hands on some brontosaurus steaks.

That didn't get the credit it deserves. Excellent

Did dinosaurs and mankind walk the earth at the same point in time? According to the bible all animals and mankind were created on the sixth day.

Of course they did, if you look closely at a little known print from Genesis 1:27 you can see clear proof.

But jesus references the old testament quite a lot so I assume he believed it!

Still waiting for the church to explain ANYTHING in a scientific, verifiable manner.

They don't have to, the phrase 'God moves in mysterious ways' is all the explaining they need

Dinosaurs are a test of our faith :rolleyes:

My mates housemate just doesn't believe in dinosaurs. She thinks that they are made up. Seriously.

Jesus was Jewish btw, he would have believed the Torah aka the old testament.

One of my mates housemates is doing a degree in geology so that one day she can prove that dinosaurs didn't exist and that the world is closer to 20,000 years old. Crazy.
