If Adam and Eve were the first then....

Dinosaurs did not exist on earth at the same time as people. Sorry, The Flintstones was a work of fiction. ;)

And the people who wrote the Bible never dug up or heard about anyone digging up a dinosaur bone. Therefore, no dinos.




I'm not sure if you realise that I was joking about that reference you quoted me on. I thought the Dinophobe comment would have been a give away. Me being agnostic, I'm a firm believer that Noah's Ark didn't exist and is a fairy tale. In theory and in science, it's impossible. I prefer to stick with actual science. I do like hearing from those who study religion, to give me their take on it though.

Since we're on the subject of Noah, here's a few pics of a new movie comming out this year. Evan Almighty starring Steve Carell as a man God asks to build another ark and he becomes a modern day Noah.

If Adam and Eve were the first people on earth then how is it that there were cavemen? My 7 yr old asked and I didnt have an answer, so I'm hoping that someone can help.

Ya know, I was just thinking about this the other day. What to believer?
Bible (on one hand) or Science (on the other)?

I can see how children get confused. :confused:
 

this is exactly why there needs a law that religion can't be taught to children under the age of 18. let their brains firm up a little before mom and dad try to cram their beliefs into them.
 
For those who don't understand how the Bible and Dinosaurs can be reconsiled:

New Evidence Suggests Noah's Sons Rode Flying Dinosaurs

CREATION SCIENCE BREAKING NEWS

For years, Creation Scientists have disputed how Noah was able to quickly collect millions of indigenous animals from remote, inaccessible regions of the world for a 40-day ride in his ark. New evidence from an archeological find in China supports the long held Christian belief that Noah's sons rode giant flying dinosaurs to transport duck billed platypuses from Australia, and penguins and polar bears from the Antarctic, to name a few. "Those must have been some mighty big flying dinosaurs," says Pastor Deacon Fred. "Imagine the look on Noah's face when his sons flew in for a landing with a pair of Hippos strapped to the back of one of them things! Glory to God!"

"The Lord is just amazing," says Creation Scientist, Dr. Jonathan Edwards. "Whenever Atheist scientists make a new find, they think it will hack away at our Christian beliefs. They must get pretty peeved at how sneaky our Lord is, because whenever they unearth something, it only provides more support for the historical accuracy of the Holy Bible And these flying dinosaurs they keep finding are no exception!"

Dr. Edwards explains that it would have been impossible for Noah's sons to travel to the four corners of the earth to areas that were previously inaccessible on foot. "Noah and his sons had to collect two of every single creature on the face of the planet," he says. "We're talking about a big haul here. At first we just attributed it to what Creation Scientists call, the Holy Finger Snapping Theory. That's where God snaps his fingers and just makes it so." Edwards points out that Creation Scientists are still unanimous in attributing the fact that Noah was able to load 100 million plus animals onto a 450 foot ark "in the selfsame day" (Genesis 7:13-14) to the Finger Snapping Theory. In the case of how the animals were collected from remote regions of the world in the first place however, recent archeological finds indicate that Noah's sons were able to tame giant flying dinosaurs and in turn, load them up with food supplies and hitch rides for long trips around the world to China, South America, Australia, Greenland, and the North Pole.

Creation Scientists estimate that since the Earth is only ten-thousand years old, human beings were living among dinosaurs and had plenty of time to tame them. "I would have loved to have been around to see Cain and Abel rolling around in the grass outside the Garden of Eden playing with the pet raptors their father, Adam, gave them for their birthdays," says Pastor Deacon Fred. "What a glorious time that must have been!"

Through tithing donations from Landover Baptist Church members, the Center for Creation Research was able to secure several fossilized remains of flying dinosaurs valued at over $14 million. The remains will be studied exhaustively for evidence of the leather harnessing used to secure Noah's sons for their long transcontinental journeys.

A law against religion. How very communistic of you.

The OP has a little boy who is learning to love God and even though she doesn't "buy" any of it, she wants him to have the peace that people can gain from faith. Nothing wrong with that.

Of course, this comes from someone who had it crammed down her throat.
 
You could say that Adam and Eve are biblical representations of the evolution of humankind through Divine manifestation, but I'm not sure if a 7 year old would really get that. :3dglasses In fact, I don't even really get that.

it's a law thought with a variable.

give a seven year old the chance to learn to drive, buy a gun, or drink alcohol.

we have laws that restrict those activities to 16, 18, and 21 respectively.

and they're all a hell of lot safer than practicing religion... by the body count throughout recorded time.
 
Didn't they live down they block from The Flintstones & The Rubbles?????:confused3

There aren't too many Catholic school 7 year olds killing people, I don't think.

You really shouldn't say this stuff on a public board, because it might tick God off and you are already on His list. ;) :)
