Absolutely!

Anyone who doubts the historic accuracy of the Flintstones is...an Atheist, commie, pedophile!


The "Creation Museum" even displays a model of a Triceratops with a saddle on it's back, and states that "the Bible doesnt specifically state that Jesus rode dinosaurs, but he probably did". :D

So these lemonade-making dinosaurs shall be called “Lemonosaurs”.

Dont know from these lemonade making dinosaurs. But we already have a dinosaur that can write song lyrics, and do crossword puzzles. It is the "Rogetsthesaurus".

Scientists really made those leaf-eating dinosaurs sound scary to me as a kid! I always had nightmares where I was a tree getting nibbled by brontosauri. :lol:

If dinosaurs were Adam and Eve's friends, does that mean humans killed them? Was there no room for dinosaurs on Noah's ark or something?

Must be "habitat reduction".

Only Lake Champlain, and Loch Ness, still retain their native dinosaur fauna (except that plesiosaurs are not, strictly speaking, "dinosaurs", but are of a different branch of reptiles).

That would have some logic. That dinosaurs paled around with Adam and Eve, but got left off of the Ark, and thats why they are not around any more.

The trouble is that true Biblical literalists cannot allow themselves even THAT amount of logic because they insist on pointing out that the Bible doesnt say that any creature got left off of the Ark. EVERYTHING, including dinosaurs, had to have been put on the Ark, and were saved from the flood. So young earth creationists like Ken Haim have to maintain that dinosaurs not only existed prior to the flood, but also continued to exist after the Flood. They dig up ancient and medeaval references to folks seeing "dragons" as evidence for that.

God gave Noah design specifications meant to exclude megafauna I guess? That would explain why only plesiosaurs survived.

This raises the question tho: why did elephants get to go on the ark but not mammoths? God has favoritism of some genuses over others?

I guess that the mammoths were sinners.

They first took to drinking, and then to card playing, got left off the Ark, and we're dying tooo ...dayyyy...

But the African and Indian elephants happened to be walking through the streets of Laredo, and sat down beside them, and heard their sad story...and avoided their fate.

We still co-exist with dinosaurs though.

We eat a lot of them, crispy, grilled or wings.

I DO give them credit for ONE thing.

The Adam and Eve on the cover are not the White people with Breck blonde hair that you commonly see in art work. They look "ethnically ambiguous". Which is more what I would expect the couple who spawned all of the races of the human race to have looked like.

It still shows racial bias, as the man has a full, dark beard and straight hair.  This precludes those ethnicities that have sparse beards and kinky-curly hair.

It also shows sexual bias, in that the woman is depicted as smaller in stature than the man.

That does it, I will never believe anything I read again and I now have an excuse to stay willful ignorant and uneducated about racial issues and implicit bias. :wink:

Their deinonychus doesn't even have feathers. I'm not sure that's a credible source. :nerdy:
