Hey, Dionys. Are you saying Muslims DON'T believe humans existed with Dinos, and that Muslims agree with evolutionists, Allah waited billions of years to produce humans to do five times a day, every day, of butt in the air? Are you SURE about that, O "I'm not a Muslim"?

Insane lack of knowledge and extreme hate derived from ignorance. I know that ignorance does not like facts but here is one fact for you. There is not one iota of evidence ever found or brought forward that proves the theory of Evolution. Before you respond and prove yourself as over schooled and undereducated, give me one piece of evidence. Just one. If you come up with something stupid like "Lucy" or "Neanderthal man", all who have been proven false, it won't work. I am talking about real evidence, like the believe that a cow had a dog or a Giraffe had a baby lion. That has never happened, but somehow you find it safe to mock someone who doesn't believe it. If you come up with some evidence, take it to the following website, they are offering $250,000.00 for the evidence. "http://www.drdino.com". Or post it here and I will collect. .............waiting.

The problem is that there is evidence from several sources that it could be a fact. What would they have been called in old documents? The term dinosaur is a relatively modern word so it would not have been used. There is some credible accounts that the Chinese emperors had "giant lizards" pull the emperors cart. There are accounts of "dragons" that are not part of make believe. There are writings that use words and phrases describing for very large animals not known today.

How credible are these writings? Any one of them can probably be discredited but the amount of them presents a problem. -

Oh give her a break, she probably saw Raquel Welch running around in an animal skin bikini in "One Million Years B.C" and thought she was watching a fact based movie. A lot of kids did back then. Now why she still believes that today only republicans can answer.

Amazing how the liberals take any story and believe it. Even after it has been disproved. You people want to believe bad things about her so you grab onto any story no matter how ridiculous. The source for this story is a very biased one. It has the smell to it of a lot of the lies told as stories on this site.

Hey, give her a chance. We could very well have coexisted with the dinosaurs. Who’s to say this is even our planet? What happened to thinking outside the box? We may have just landed here, started shooting at, and bombing the dinosaurs when they tried to eat our little ship. Once we killed them all we covered them up with dirt and stomped on the pile to confuse future generations. When we learned that we were too stupid to repair our ship we used the spare parts to build the pyramids. This would explain the demise of the dinosaurs where the pyramids came from and why we can’t find the missing link. If we go one step further…a couple lonely guys stuck on a planet might have just started chasing furry tail thus we as humans are the funniest looking mammals out there.

Of course they existed together. Just go to "B.C." on comics.com and you can see them from time to time with people. He doesn't just make it up.

On a more serious note, I understand that somewhere (undisclosed location) here's a birth certificate showing McC born in 3998 BC. Obama is a relative newbie, being born in 3964 BC. -

She's a religious nutcase. Unfortunately, there are millions who share her views. The only way to save our country (and a woman's right to choose and equal treatment of gays and lesbians) is to get out and vote Democratic across the board. Only when the Democrats control all three branches of the government (Congress by a much larger margin than now) will we have basic common sense in our country.

Her beliefs are parallel with most of Christianity. They all seem to believe that the earth is 6000 years old. What I've never been able to get one of them to address, however, is the fact that there are Asian records dating back 10,000 years. How can that be possible on an earth that didn't exist for the first 4,000 years of recorded Asian history?
Reply
By the way.....there is no mention in the 10,000 years of recorded Asian history of dinosaurs roaming the earth alongside human beings.-

Don't you DARE compare her fanatic, ridiculous, extremist beliefs on the majority of Christianity. I am a Christian AND a Democrat - no matter what the Karl Roves & Rush Limbaughs of this world want you to believe - and most of my Christian friends disagree with the beliefs of these fanatic fringe.
Again (from another thread) - Jesus was a community organizer; Pontius Pilot was a governor. -

oh please, this is just hearsay. People will make up all kinds of stories to have their 5 minutes of fame. Sarah Palin has said her dad was a science teacher, so I find this "claim" difficult to believe. Let's have some healthy skepticism, folks, and not believe everything you read, especially in the Huffington Post.

"When running for governor of Alaska in 2006, Sarah Palin made it abundantly clear that she supported teaching religious ideology in public schools where they should be teaching science and fact:
Reply
Palin was answering a question from the moderator near the conclusion of Wednesday night's televised debate on KAKM Channel 7 when she said, "Teach both [evolution and creationism]. You know, don't be afraid of information. Healthy debate is so important, and it's so valuable in our schools. I am a proponent of teaching both."
This wasn't the first time Sarah Palin expressed her support for creationism, According to Philip Munger, Palin was part of efforts to get an evangelical, creationist school board in Mat-Su Borough: "I pushed her on the earth's creation, whether it was really less than 7,000 years old and whether dinosaurs and humans walked the earth at the same time. And she said yes, she'd seen images somewhere of dinosaur fossils with human footprints in them." -

Wasilla Resident Philip Munger Claims that Sarah Palin Told Him She is a Young Earth Creationist
It is not hearsay. It is evidence from an eye witness. The eye witness still lives in the town.
If you have a site that debunks this claim, please post a link to it. None of the others who don't believe it have provide any links yet.

Pathetic, you republican yellow bellied cowards are still swiftboating and spewing your liquid crap and supporting this evangelical creationist moron.
Reply
You hypocrites have managed to completely destroy the economy in just 7 years, following your hyena princples of greed and ignorance over rationality and what's best for the country. The unexamined life is not worth living, and you have dragged the country down into the sewer from whence you came, repugnican slime, a sewer of religious superstition masquerading as policy.
Repugnicon anti-intellectual slime cannot support this Palin evangelical creationist moron, she's even stupider than them, so all they have left to do is projectile vomit their lies and swiftboating character attacks like the ignorant cowards they are. -

These Repugs are silly. They like the Drudge report or Huff post to get their news. It's as if any idea or value different then their hive programming will invalidate their person. They're truly shameless when it comes to defeding one of their own; even Sarah who says Dinosaurs invalidate her beliefs so she makes them go away. Oh, wait a minute that was last year, now they coexisted.

If the account is true, Palin refers of course to the Paluxy prints which were not conclusive. However, from that same river bed do come clearly human and clearly dinosaur footprints--albeit separated by a number of yards--that are on the same strata or level. This does not prove that humans and dinosaurs co-existed, but it allows for the possibility.

Scientists refer often to their much-vaunted dating methods. Here's how that works: any dating of an artifact that is consistent with the evolution paradigm gets published. Any dating of an artifact that is outside the paradigm is dismissed as an anomaly. There are many anomalies that never get published. The idea that dating methods are consistent--even when performed on the same artifact the same way--is merely an idea, not fact.
As for evidence of the young earth, it's been said (though I've not corroborated this yet) that natural gas takes only 40,000 years to seep through rock formations into the atmosphere. We can also measure the flow and accumulation of river deposition at the mouths of the world's rivers. There simply is no evidence any where of 1 million+ years of river sediment accumulation. The easiest way to observe this is to compare old New World maps of the Gulf Coast shoreline at the mouth of the Mississippi. Scientists and cartographers can extrapoate backwards to a consistent arc of the shoreline, unbroken by the Mississippi delta. What they cannot do is show that it took in excess of a million years to accumulate all the land that breaks the plane of the arc.
Proof? No...but it draws the old earth theory into question and should not be dismissed. Evolutionists will always choose the phenonema that supports their view. Thus, they quickly point to things like petrified trees as proof of an old earth, but neglect to mention a stand of trees in Canada petrified instantly by lightning. It's this myopic treatment of the topic, let alone the arrogance, dismissiveness, and condescension of evolutionists that feeds skepticism of their claims.
For example, you can go to Talk Origins and find that this website is not content to argue in favor of evolution. They have added a page dedicated to debunking the bible, even buying into such shop-worn lies as the OT reference to a rabbit that chews its own cud, despite the availability of Christian apologetic links that fully and accurately rebut this lie. It's as if they can't help it or are confident that their audience won't bother to look further.-

Some resemble human tracks, however: "We noted that many of the Taylor Site "man tracks" did have a general oblong shape, rounded heel, and mud push-ups around the back and sides of the track, but differed in significant ways from what would be expected from genuine human tracks. Most splayed into a wide "V" at the anterior, and some showed long, shallow groves at the anterior in positions that were incompatible with a human foot."

I'm a skeptic in all things, especially those that offer no proof save the expectation of faith.
Reply
Faith is not proof, faith is not theory, faith finds no facts, refutes no claims or is skeptical of hearsay.
Therefore I am a skeptic of anything that demands my faith to believe it is truth.
I am not a scientist who studies evolution, nor am I a theist that studies religion. It matters not if evolution is fact or simply a theory based on information that has been extrapolated from our physical existence. The one thing I am sure of: religion has no physical manifestations that can be evidenced or studied.
I no more believe the bible as fact as I do Homer's 'Iliad and the Odyssey'.-

Well then, let'a examine something science can observe over and over yet not explain. In the unborn human, the eye begins to form at the end of a stalk, extended out from the brain. There is initially no optical nerve.
Reply
To form the optical nerve, axon neural fibers begin to stretch from the brain toward the eye. Counterpart axon neural fibers emerge from the eye, and stretch toward the brain. Estimates of these fibers, which grow into the optical nerve, range from 800k to 1.2 million. So we're talking about 1 million fibers per eye.
In order for eyesight to occur, each of these axon neural fibers must grow toward and connect to the opposite axon neural fiber. But that's not all. Each one must find its EXACT counterpart. One single miss--or misconnection--and there will be no eyesight in that eye.
Science can watch this happen. There are even photos if not video footage on the web to observe. But science has absolutely no explanation for this.
Thousands of years before science had the wherewithal to merely begin asking the question, it was written that we were "knitted together in our mother's womb."
That's 2 million axon neural fibers per person. There are billions of people. And that's only for eyesight, much less the rest of the organs that must likewise connect to the brain in order to function. All knitted together, apparently by an "unseen hand." I doubt if there are many manufacturing plant workers who could make that many connections requiring similar precision without any error. But here we see it happening with near-flawlessness all day long over and over.
This may not mean a thing. It could mean everything. But clearly there's no need for condesending on Christians who believe they have a reasonable basis to believe in what appears to be so much more than "intelligent design" The example above is more like "divine facilitation." (You were not being condescending...I'm not saying you were. But many are.)
Being Christian does not mean putting your brain and thoughfulness on hold. It does mean you believe in God and the things of God that go beyond--not against--rational thought.
