Re: OT: Jesus riding around on a dinosaur

January 7, 2006

I just got the mental image of Jesus riding around on a dinosaur!

Specifically, a velociraptor. LOL!!

If God created the Earth, human beings and all species too, in only 7

days, then, by definition, humans and velociraptors would exist at the

same time. Something that radio-carbon dating of dinosaur fossils.and

radio-carbon dating of the oldest known fossils of humans easily proves

to be impossible. Dinosaur bones are hundreds of millions of years

older than the oldest fossils of humans.and the various ape-man missing

link species. There, I've disproved the 7 day thesis in three

sentences. 4 sentences if you count the joke about Jesus riding a

raptor, which still has me in tears laughing. lol

This doesn't disprove belief in creation or God. It shouldn't be seen

as a threat to any faiths. All the Catholic priests and rabbis that

have taught me at college over the years believe evolution, the

big-bang, etc. is God's work. They aren't athiests, they've devoted

their lives to God. They know the creation stories (there are several

conflicting creation stories in the Bible) are allegorical. Metaphor.

Father Viscardi, S.J., who teaches theology at Spring Hill College,

taught me about the allegories of the Bible, conflicting creation

stories in the Bible, and told me " Adam " in ancient Hebrew can translate

as " man, " and thus is a play on words. Fr. Viscardi also assigned us to

write a paper on the differences and similiarities in the Bible's

creation stories and similarities to Mesopotamian and Zoasterian

creation stories. I've learned tons from the priests.
