   "Adventist University" - why don't those words seem to go together? Or "Christian geologist". Just pick one and go with it. Preach or teach. Don't pretend they're the same thing.

   Another LarryI suspect she is has stuffed quite a lot in that purse.

   A baby T-Rex small enough to fit on your shoulder would eat your ear and in 40 days every little creature it could catch.
   
   Which raises the question of how many animals could live 40 days without food?
   
   Oh, right, the flood story is just a religious fairy tale to ensnare the ignorant...

   Oh, I get it, they shrunk all the animals so they could fit in the ark. Then, when the floods subsided, they made them big again! Too bad we don't know how to do that today - just think of the cost savings in transportation alone! A whole circus could travel in a mini-bus!

   I like the story about Satan scattering the bones better then this.
   Satan is SO COOL!

   Why do peopel who wouldn't be convinced by proof anyway look for proof?

   Good question, Dave. Last Thursday, whilst traveling along I-68 between Morgantown, WV and Cumberland, MD, I chanced upon a church which advertised they were building "an exact replica of the ark". It's right by the Interstate, albeit, at the top of a rise. I couldn't think fast enough to get out the camera and there was no place to safely pull over and walk back to document this extraordinary event.
   
   I did note that this particular ark was to be made of steel and only the initial skeleton was in place. The sign announcing the construction of the ark was tattered and the area where the ark was sitting was rather overgrown with lots of weeds and volunteer trees visible around the superstructure.
   
   I'm really sorry it came upon me too quick to adequately photograph it. The comments here would have been priceless.

    No wonder we are running out of oil. With only having dead dinasours for 6,000 years, there really was not enough time to compress the bodies into oil.

    "It's written there that God created Adam and Eve and the animals of the earth on the same day - about 6,000 years ago, according to many Seventh-day Adventists"
    
    They must not read the bible very well cause it does say that a 1000 years is just a blink in gods eye.
    
    So if god blinks about 500 times in a day then thats about 5,000,000 years. I think that works.

    But didn't god put the oil there to give George Bush something to do while he was waiting to start the apocalypse?

    That's why I escaped as soon as I could and I don't go back.

    I'm impressed by all that the Christian geologists know about dinosaurs. They had brains the size of peas, you know. Dinosaurs had small brains, too.

    A mob of ignorant people is stronger than one intelligent man...
    
    A fact well known and utilitized by Rabbis, Priests, Preachers, Mullahs, Osama Ben Laden, Hitler, Ghengis Khan and record and movie producers.
    
    The mob's ignorance feeds the religious, political and other leaders quite well, thank you.

    It's a shame. I've always treasured the story of Satan scattering the dinosaur bones to confuse Christians. Now I don't know WHAT to believe!!

    Here's a funny story in our local paper to treasure: http://www.citizen-times.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060808/NEWS/60808015/0/NEWS01
    
    The headline reads: Pope to serve jail time for having sex with inmate. Where was the editor? LMAO.

    LOL!
    
    That is so freaking absurd and some people actually believe it?
    
    LOL hysterically!

    I have relatives in Iowa who do actually believe that Satan scattered those bones to confuse us.
22. By Jeffery Faulk. Comment posted 08-Aug-2006 @04:35pm:

    Gee: Your relatives sound like mine and my experience has been that there is just no way they can wrap their minds around the truth. We make fun of these type of folks but the fact of the matter is that they are scary as Hell. They vote, they want schools to teach their faith instead of science and they breed. Reality does not apply in their world and frankly there are far too many of them out there. Satan doesn't have to lift a finger because he has all of those God fearing folks doing his work for him. And that's the truth.

    And what did all those carnivores eat on board the Ark for 40 days?
24. By . Comment posted 08-Aug-2006 @05:14pm:

    It all depends on the carnivore, d'orly - undoubtedly selections from the many fine Purina Mills Mazuri Brand Diet products (there is no generic Purina Carnivore Chow) ...

    A friend of mine from childhood swore up and down that all the so-called dinosaur bones were planted by and then dug up by scientists just so they could fool people. She was Church of Christ, I think - the holyroller kind.
26. By . Comment posted 08-Aug-2006 @06:20pm:

    Oh Gee..., that is depressing. I'm from Iowa and all my relatives would run, not walk, away from people like this. Sort of reminds me of the joke my dad would tell, "What would happen if you gave the bottom 50 miles of Iowa to Missouri?" "You'd raise the IQ of both states."

    I married into a Seventh Day Adventist family.
    At a recent visit with my 78 year old mother-in-law she asked me if I was familiar with Ezekiel, a book in the Bible. I replied that I knew the name. She proceeded to tell me the story of the dry bones, something or other about skeletons coming back to life. She said she wouldn't have believed it if she hadn't read it in the Bible. I suggested that it might be symbolism (I still haven't admitted to her after 24 years that I don't believe in any of that nonsense). She insisted that if it's in the Bible it is entirely true. Unfortunately my husband was brainwashed with all this stuff too although he doesn't actively practice his beliefs and has never tried to influence my beliefs.

    Is that what they're callin' that nowadays? A "purse"
    
    I feel so cheap and so old.

    Debb, no hurry in photographing the ark...
    
    I came across their web site earlier this year; it describes how work (off exit 34 in Frostburg, MD) has been ongoing since the '70s. The Rebuilding of Noah's Ark

    I tried to do a little research on this last night. I drew a circle and a star, lit some candles and contacted Satan. When asked about the dinosaur bones, he laughed maniacly, flicked my ear and told me to "buggar off!" and closed down the portal.
    
    How rude. I'm starting to see where he gets his reputation. I mean how does he know I wasnt' soul bargaining or something.

    Research the Leviathon
    
    
    Also the Bible says demons breeded with women and created "giants"
    
    I personally think dinosaurs are kind of like the moon.
