I am confused. I am not debating anything, just curious. I am Christian, but am surprised to read some posts about not going to see the Dinosaur exibit and anything to do with big bang. How do y'all explain fossils and skeletons of dinosaurs that are found and not think they ever existed? As a Christian I always have felt there is room to explain the exsistance of the Big Bang and Dinosaurs. I mean, really- dinosaurs- how do you NOT believe that? (pay no attention to the big skeleton behind the curtain?) Can't we believe that there were dinosaurs and Adam and EVE? Why are they exlusive? Can't dinosaurs have been before ,after, or during Adam and Eve? And the Big Bang, I don't know if I believe that, but if it was proven, then I just say, "well who caused the big bang? - GOD" Can't God have created the Earth in 7 days AND started it all off with a Big Bang? I don't see why these 2 things have to be mutually exlusive either.
ALso, lots of talk about being Christian with no mention of how many denominations and "non-denominations" of Christianity there are. I dislike when one church "owns Christianity". and makes it sound as if ALL Christians (which means follower of Christ and not nesessarily means you can't believe in many things stated in this thread) believe this way, that there is no room for dinosaurs etc. Or that all Christians can't see or read things about a fictional sorcerer and keep it in context. This is what makes the non-religious think we are all zealots.
