    I have no religion! All religions are wrong anyway. It doesn't say God made giant liazard things (dinosaurs) It doesn't even mention anything about dinosaurs, it says he made humans first. Yeah, what ever you say. I don't care though, if people want to worship something, go for it. lol.

    Was raised as a catholic (kindna), but there were too many things that bugged me about it. I don't follow any religion, don't need anyone telling me how I'm supposed to live my live. I just simply believe in God, don't care if you call him Budha, Shiva, Jesus or whatewer.

    To be fair, Dinosaurs pre-date the bible by approximately 65,000,000 years, so it's hardly the fault of the ancient Israelites.
    Anyway, it doesn't explicitly say that he didn't create dinosaurs- it makes no mention of most animals, but fundamentalists don't dent the existence of sloths or kangaroos!
    The whole creation story is a complex metaphor, and is not be taken literally. The idea is that humans have been placed on the eath as the dominant species (hence 'made in God's image'), and have the power to control almost any animal. The whole apple dealy is about human nature- basically, we've got this really nice set-up, but we're such greedy, arrogant smeg-heads, that we screw it up and ruin it for everyone. The Garden of Eden actually represents the world, but humans screw everything up by being jack-asses, and make a mess of the whole damn thing.
    Basically, it was the ancient Hebrews trying to explain to each other why the world was (and is) such a godawful mess.
    But, Creationism is still stupid, narrow-minede and wrong. I've nothing against religion, but those guys are just arrogant jerks.

    Tell that to the thousands of theists who actually believe Adam and Eve were the first humans, created less than 6,000 years ago.

    I can't understand why people believe in God or whatever you wanna call him, it. People do take it literally though. In my opinion, only weak minded people follow religions. But, I am wrong in most cases. I don't really know everything about religion, so It probably isn't my place to say anything unless I have all the info I need.

    Yeah, OK.
    ...
    Do you have any with you?

    Why does the fanatical, unquestioning beleif of these people make my point less valid? I've actually tried to interprate the stories of the bible, and make somes sense of them. It's not my fault that certain others find that idea offensive.

    Actually, there are several references in the Bible to what we call "dinosaurs", and Creation Science -- which many people disagree with because it doesn't support Evolutionism -- has found evidence that greatly supports a Young-Earth theory of Intelligent Design. Evolutionism (the "ism" is because yes, it is a religion) was a huge test of my faith, but I've researched both sides for years, instead of just buying every line they tried to feed me in public school. But then, people would have to have an open mind to consider such evidence, and as we see with some of the people in this thread, some think they're right to the point that nobody should question them.

    Dude, Dinosaurs are a myth. They are a lie conceived by communist left and the evil liberals to decieve people into believing in absurd concepts like science. The whole liberal agenda is one that focuses solely on the removal of god from society. Everything they do is a means to acheive that sinister goal. Believers be on gaurd... the liberals are here.

    I did the wiccan thing in high school. I liked it very much, but I didn't get "into" it 'cause I was put off by all the other "witches" in high school acting like gothtards. And when I cast a spell it worked a little too well. Srsly. o.O

    And who are you, oh mighty one, to show anyone any disrespect?

    Not to say you have, but that statement implies that you would find it somehow justified to do so.

    We're working on it.

    And the Bible doesn't say God made humans first. It says He made them last, actually.
