================================================ Subject: Re: Odp: RE: christianity and CREED From: "Tara" To: Date: Thu 10 May 2001 17:57:38 -0400 ================================================ As far as the dinosaur/God website, I'd like to offer my reasoning why I think their information is incorrect. Understand that I'm not trying to start an argument, I honestly would like to know the answers to the questions I'm asking. 1. Most anthropologists agree that men and dinosaurs did not live at the same time; that dinosaurs existed millions of years before man existed. 2. Why would God allow a creature that "ranks first" (ahead of humans) to die out? 3. Why would a God who is "all-forgiving" punish sinners by killing them in a flood? Wouldn't that negate the forgiving aspect of God's nature? 4. How (and/or why) would a perfect being make imperfect creations in the first place? 5. Going back even farther, how or why would God have created a being that would be the starting point of sin and evil (i.e. Satan)? 6. If we're all descendants of the "good people" (Noah's family), why is there still evil in the world? 7. I could be wrong, but I seem to recall prehistoric human fossils being discovered... does that mean that Noah (and all other people in that time period) were Neanderthals? Meaning, God created people in his own image (the image being prehistoric man), and then people evolved from the way they were created into what we are today? 8. Where are the remains of the "millions or billions" of people killed during the flood? According to the website, all the things not on the ark would have been covered with layers of sediment and fossilized. 9. According to Christians, how old is the earth? Dinosaur fossils millions of years old have been found... the website states that dinosaurs were alive during and after the flood... but wasn't the flood only about 4,000 years ago according to the Bible? So far as I know, no dinosaur fossils that recent have ever been found. I could be wrong though, anthropology isn't my strong point. I have a lot more questions, but I think that's probably enough to keep anyone busy for now... lol Tara ----- Original Message ----- From: melissa phillips To: Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2001 4:14 PM Subject: Re: Odp: RE: christianity and CREED > There is a book by Lee Stroble called, "The Case For > Christ" which has alot of answers to what you're > looking for in the way of historical proof of Jesus > being the Messiah. > There is a website called christiananswers.net that > gives the dinasour story.
