How do Christians deal with the existence of dinosaurs found in rocks dated to be millions of years old? How do they deal with the fact that there's no mention of them in the Bible?

The phrasing in the Bible implies that God created animals before humans. The Bible was also written way after the time of dinosaurs. The people writing it probably didn't even know about dinosaurs. Why should the Bible have them in it?

Why do Americans think that the only thing there is to Christianity is the Bible?
Protestantism and its ridicolous "sola scriptura"-emphasis isnt shared by Catholics and Orthodox.

The Bible is the story of humankind and God in the preparation for the coming of the Messiah, and of the end.

Neanderthals, dinosaurs, aliens etc are literally irrelevant to our personal story in the Bible. That does NOT mean that they don't exist.

God didn't make the world for man, She remade the world for man. All the earlier life She wiped out. There is plenty of evidence for this buried all over the planet.

You've never read the Bible. Dinosaurs are mentioned a few times. Bohemoth, crocs, Leviathan.

Dead atheist should not comment on the Bible. How can you? .

Your comment proves you've never read the Bible.

SO shut up and prepare your heart for The Tribulation or call on the name of Jesus before man and be Baptized. It's your only path.

>rocks dated to be millions of years old
You cant date rocks with any degree of certainty. It's all vanity and circlejerking.
>Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him. Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about. Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.

>Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down? Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn? Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever? Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens? Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants? Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears? Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more. Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him? None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me? Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine. I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion. Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle? Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about. His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal. One is so near to another, that no air can come between them. They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered. By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out. Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.

The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved. His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone. When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves. The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon. He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood. The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble. Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear. Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire. He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment. He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary. Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear. He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.

If you're catholic or orthodox you don't care because both recognize that evolution could be how god formed man and that god's timescale is incomprehensible to humans so all sense of time in genesis are more metaphorical than literal.

By actually knowing traditional Biblical exegesis and not being a latter day sola scriptura literalist retard.
>For who that has understanding will suppose that the first, and second, and third day, and the evening and the morning, existed without a sun, and moon, and stars? And that the first day was, as it were, also without a sky? And who is so foolish as to suppose that God, after the manner of a husbandman, planted a paradise in Eden, towards the east, and placed in it a tree of life, visible and palpable, so that one tasting of the fruit by the bodily teeth obtained life? And again, that one was a partaker of good and evil by masticating what was taken from the tree? And if God is said to walk in the paradise in the evening, and Adam to hide himself under a tree, I do not suppose that anyone doubts that these things figuratively indicate certain mysteries, the history having taken place in appearance, and not literally.

How do you deal with the fact that your culture, your laws, your morals and your traditions are based on Christianity? How do you deal with the fact that your idea of good and wrong are based on Christianity? How do you deal with the fact that it was the Catholic church that lead Europe to become the seat of all culture and civilization?

Why must Atheists be so obnoxious nowadays? Nobody fucking cares that you can find inconsistencies in a 2000 year old book. People back then didn't have the information we do now.

They've never found a full dinosaur. They find random pieces and try to extrapolate the rest. Scientists have faked fossils since the beginning. If you go to any dinosaur museum, what you see is not the dinosaur bones but a replica. Before Noah, lizards lived hundreds and thousands of years and were able to grow large.
>>
>>126449641
You're a retard. Bible does not refer dinosaurs because they don't matter. At all. It's a book about archetypical stories of heroism, morals and ethics. It's supposed to help you live a good life. It's supposed to serve as a good foundation for your laws and your culture. It' supposed to give you motivation to live, reproduce and combat nihilism. Now, how the fuck do dinosaurs have any relevance to this? They don't. Stop criticizing things you know nothing about. Read Nietzsche if you want some actually intelligent arguments.

Kill yourself, retard. Most of those were indeed Christians, but of the earlier kind. The archetypical stories are exactly the same for them. Creation myths, hero stories, morals etc. It's so easy to criticize Christianity when you have absolutely no idea about the impact it has had on us, our history and our morals. It's so easy to criticize it when you have no idea about the context of its stories and the sources of those stories. Bible is just one instance of 200 000 years of stories and myths condensed into a single book through ridiculous amounts of evolution.

And this is why the bible is superior to the law in many aspects it's more conducive to a well functioning society than the law is because the law can't punish people for bad morals if they are not violent somehow.

Because I am. This 'sceptic community' is a joke. A three year old can criticize the stories of bible based on their realism. A three year old can find inconsistencies, because it's notthe point of the book. The religion of Christianity gives us meaning, it stands as a barrier between us and the chaos of nihilism and meaninglessness. The value of Christianity is so immense that it's impossible to even measure. You yourself observe the morals it has taught us simply by living in a western society. The foundation of our deepest morals is based on the divinity of the individual.

Nietzsche said god is dead. It is probably true, but it is the biggest damn disaster that has ever struck the West. We're drowning in the blood of our dead god. That blood is the authoritarian states, social justice, equity, 'equality' and multiculturalism.

what's this thread about, nostradamus?
>>
>>126446965
This, they are even doing it in this thread. There are over 50 forms of radiological dating, then there are estimates based on rock layers and rock build up, then things like using tree rings to date an area. Like a fossilized tree will have the same patterns of thick and thin layers as other trees, but it occurred at different times. This can be used to track how far back a specific localized layer is.

The point is, in all cases, the methods of dating line up with each other, the ones that return random results are filtered out and not used. Anything with systematically different results would be a pretty big deal.

Christians just lie about it and deny it or they simply don't teach it. I know, I went to a private christian school. They are fucking idiots. Simply investigating most of their arguments at all disproves them.

Most Christians probably understand that shit like genesis is allegorical or at least has some wiggle room in the description.

There are people who need that shit to be literal truth though. They think a sort of last thursdayism approach. Where that stuff was created by the devil or even god to temp your faith.

You cannot argue with these people. For them the requirement of genesis being literal truth is based off the need for a reason for evil being in the world. And a reason for bad things to happen. A couple who have a child of 8 dying from some terrible painful cancer and such. For them the truth of the bible is not something to reason out its something that is needed.

I think most people just assume the lines about god doing everything in 7 days is sort of a hand wave description . maybe Christians do not see evolution as a refutation of the bible for all we know that is how god made everything.

The thing about science is it doesn't answer the big questions that is why they are the big questions. It just moves them. In the end even if the big bang theory holds there is the question of what caused it and what is outside our space.

It reminds me of a child being afraid of the closet in the dark. The fear comes from not knowing what is being that sheet of shadow. Its only a foot deep but it could be infinity when you do not know.

There is a primal fear in us. And when you use science to explain all the things in the world you still have the unknown. You just move it.

That fear is where religion rules either given by god or created by us to fill the hole. Necessity is the mother of invention. I don't understand why people think science will ever refute religion.

Is there a method of Carbon dating that can go back tens, hundreds, or thousands of millions of years? To me it just looks like Potassium Argon Dating is capable of that due to the decay rate of Argon

>K decays with a half-life of 1.248×10^9 years to 40Ca and 40Ar.

So yeah just to be clear, it looks to me like "Radiometric dating" is a better description of the class of methods used to date fossils.

Evolution and Christianity go hand in hand.

Remember the fall of man? Where they eat the apple? Humans need to eat all the time, or we die. Why do we need to eat? Why does your car need maintenance? Why do your shoes eventually get worn out? Why is there no "free" energy?

Because of thermodynamics: entropy has to constantly increase.

Original sin = entropy. By eating the apple, man fell into a sinful material physical world of death and decay.

Evolution fits into this - because evolution is the process of "only the strong survive" in a sinful, physical world.

The exact same way we deal with inevitability of Communism's triumph according to scientific predictions of dialectic materialism.

Now, how do you deal with the fact that proteins in some dinosaur bones haven't completely decayed yet despite them supposedly being millions of years old?

That's one way to look at the Bible and the New Testament, one that I happen to agree with, because it excuses me from having to believe in God and that Jesus Christ was the son of God.

But I don't think that's what the Bible was "supposed" to be. I think that both sides, Christians and Atheists, generally reject that casual explanation of the Bible as a "take what you want, leave the rest" philosophy.

Bible is a product of evolution. The stories in it are literally tens of thousands of years old. They are what people liked to tell and liked to hear. they are what people remembered. The stories gave people meaning and hope. Really bible does not have any meaning by itself, the stories were not conceived with some purpose in mind. They evolved, just as we did.

What are you smoking? I've never heard or met Christians that think it's metaphorical. 100% literal word of God, they think a man and a woman ate fruit and that was worth billions of people being mercilessly tortured for hundreds of trillions of years.

I was raised around protestants from many groups, no joke, they think it's totally literal and will fight you about it.

They hate any idea that evolution and their religion are compatible, Adam and Eve were not the most advanced among existing humanoids, they were the first and only and totally separate.

Even though we know that 2 humans would have massive deformities if their children had to mate.

They will say God made it happen. There is no convincing them. I did not grow up in some backwater place, these people are engineers and business owners that think this. We went to mega churches with several thousand members. Never did they even imply that any of the Bible was anything but 100% literal. Sometimes metaphorical stories could add depth to the meaning, but Christian theology 101 is the literal interpretation is the most accurate.

No, the Pharisees brought her to Jesus and said to him that she has committed adultery. The Bible is very specific about how to deal with this issue. It says there has to be two witnesses, the Pharisees didn't bring witnesses.

John 8:3-11 King James Version (KJV)

3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

Carbon dating assumes that the Earth has always had a constant ratio of Carbon-14 to Carbon-12.
Evocucks say that this is true because the earth is so old that it must be true for evolution to be true which is true therefore the ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12 was always constant.

Flawed dating methods. Permineralization can occur in hours under the right conditions.

Most of the dating they do is based on their flawed notions of the age attributed to the surrounding objects. S

So your circular argument is, we know this is 100 million years old because it was buried beneath the fossil that was 98 Million years old.

You need to first prove that the upper layer was 98 Million years old

Your dating methods are actually circular reasoning; because the earth must be millions of years old for evolution to be true, these fossils must be millions of years old as well. Therefore, let's adjust these fine-tuned constants (initial conditions, etc.) until we get a result that agrees with our worldview.
It's reasoning after the fact. It's not science.
Read about the """Cambrian Explosion""". It happened for no reason. Or maybe all the fossils were deposited on that stratum because of a global flood?

[1:15] and let them be lights in the dome of the sky to give light upon the earth." And it was so.
[1:16] God made the two great lights - the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night - and the stars.

There is not a single atheist poster on here that doesn't have their entire belief system based on what they were "told" was proof.

You do realize there are about a dozen other radiometric dating methods right? Carbon dating is only really accurate up to a couple thousand years, others are accurate to millions.

Sola scriptura is wrong. Apostolic tradition is also a source of God's.
But Darwinian evolution is also not science; it is fanfiction. It should be taught in history class, not in science class, since there are no experiments.

The definition of atheism is disbelief in the existence of God. Anyone who doesn't believe deities exist is by definition an atheist. There is no logical connection between "God doesn't exist" and "Feminism is a good thing, niggers are human, all people have rights that are very important and need to be respected".

If we assume that the radioactive decay of a substance is a constant.

>>126462009
then by your logic christianity is "merely someone who believes in christ" by definition and theres no logical connection between dinosaurs or other random books of the bible or churches or creationists

It's not how science works but science has become the religious of the masses.

The bible was originally written and read in latin to keep the masses from understanding it.

Science is also written in a language that the masses don't understand.

The truth is 99% of people whom accept evolution as their philosophy, do it with as much blind faith as a Christian.

How many actually understand carbon dating, it's limitations, or it's verity ?

None, it is a system of theories just like religion. Takes just as much faith in the unknown as most religions.
