Dinosaurs and the Bible

1. Dr. Steven Austin's claims et cetera. Your link does not go to what you speak of, so I had to dig a little bit on my own. What you're telling me is that the vast majority of scientists, except for the creationists, accept radiometric dating as accurate within a certain margin of error [1](the margin of error is well over the total age you believe) but you believe this one man found an error in that. An error that all other scientists deny by pointing out various flaws. (again besides creationists) You believe this one man is more likely to be telling the truth, and that he has not made a mistake? That all other scientists in the field have? You also believe this when creationists haven't a shred of evidence in their favor as far as scientific evidence goes to show the earth is ~6k years old. (Studies funded by the "Institute for Creation Research" are extremely suspect) The problem I have is I cannot find one scientist outside of religious journals to support your argument. But you believe these people because of their scientific understanding, as it were, which you claim is greater than all other scientists? This after you link an article largely unrelated to your claim. You have to say that many scientists who are not creationists are hiding the fact that radiometric dating is flawed. You have to say that they are intentionally hiding the truth. For what reason? The burden of proof for that claim is almost as difficult to meet as the burden of proof for the claim we are debating! Even if you disprove radiometric dating, when we're debating on this topic you have the burden of proof, and have supplied no evidence for your side. 2. "Elaborate please" I linked the full article. It is one of the first columns. You will see various religious "scholars" and their calculations as to the age of the earth based on the bible. I need not elaborate more. Read the article if you have some dispute with them. 3. "Dinosaurs were hunted for their meat." (et cetera) This is a claim you have presented no evidence for. Do we have caveman paintings of dinosaurs? Large groups of humans coming at dinosaurs with spears? [2] I can't argue a claim you believe despite the lack of evidence. 4. "I'm not a believer in Evolution" There is as much proof of the scientific theory of evolution as there is for the scientific theory of gravity. No one, not even most creationist thinkers, deny evolution exists in some form. They debate the extent to which it can mold one life form into another. "micro" versus "macro." Either way, all the evidence is on one side, and the other side only presents the bible. 5. "No Noah brought two of every kind of animal eg dog kind cat kind ect (?) also animals that had nostrils." This is as close to a nonsense phrase as I've ever heard and addresses none of my points. (MVP and Incest) Do you also not believe in incest causing genetic issues? Again, all the evidence is on my side in this issue. Incest may have been permissible in the Bible, but if you'd like to continue debating I'm going to need you to supply evidence of your 6,000 year old theory outside of just the bible, or at the very least respond to my points (MVP and Incest) in full. I don't see much good coming from a debate on the nostrils of animals allowed on Noah's Ark, seeing as how the Bible is not evidence for your position. 6. "The word dinosaur was created in the 1800s the bible was written in the 1600 (??) so they couldnt use the word dinosaurs" So what is the word in the Bible for them? "Behemoth" was surely not it. Please cite me some verses with what you believe dinosaurs were referred to as the bible. Do you believe anyone would speak of birds but not speak on dinosaurs? We can allow the bible as an account of what may have happened. You have to provide evidence to verify the account of what happened. You have provided no evidence to verify the Bible's account, and have provided shady quotes at best from the bible itself to even suggest such a being as a dinosaur existed in the bible at all. Please, in your next argument cite me the specific quote that suggests dinosaurs in the bible. Quoting the bible saying "god created everything" does not constitute showing dinosaurs in the bible. Please, in your next argument reference any source that is not specifically the bible that would suggest the Earth is 6,000 years old. Please, in your next argument reference any source that is not specifically the bible that suggests humans and dinosaurs may have lived at the same time. Cave man paintings, any science at all. Until you can do so your burden of proof is not met, and you will have to concede this debate on the grounds that the only source you have for your claim is the bible, and the only quote you have sourced from there does not directly link to your claim. Happy thinking with you. --- [1] - https://ncse.com... [2] - http://www.bradshawfoundation.com...
