I believe dinosaurs lived on the earth at the same time as man also........ that means i agree with Lady and keilan .......who would have thought it

I don't understand the reason to believe that dinosaur and man coexisted. I find it absurd.

[Anne]

How so lypse? What is you think is absurd?

[lypse]

Look at the evidence!!!! The earth couldn't possibly be 6000 years old, and we have human bones that even go further then that. Or how about the fact that dinosaurs were in existence at a time that humans weren't even within an inch of existence!!! How could you not find this absurd. Xians always telling me that "The truth will set you free" but it seems that they neglect to follow that.

You really think that dinosaurs coexisted with humans??? I guess the flood story is true to and the Earth is flat!

Oaky, you've got my attention,

Let's look at the evidence together, you quote from your resources, as I will from mine! Sound fair, if you are correct then you will be proven so.

Firstly, I never said the earth was 6,000 years old, though I think that count not to be far off the mark, but that is a different topic, this one is about dinosaurs.

Going even further such as you said, where are these bones that go further back than six thousand years? Again this debate is not about man or his ancestry.

Okay, I get from your reply that you pretty much think that the co-existance of dinosaurs and man is just a dumb idea, but still you're going to have to, if you choose to, explain why you believe it is a dumb idea, have you evidence that they did not?

My dear, yes I do think that the dinosaurs coexisted with man, but I fail to see why the earth having once believed to being flat has anything to do with it, never once did the Bible state or promote the idea that the Earth was flat, in fact it states that it was round, I wonder how Biblical characters could have known this?

If you are going to try to discredit the writings of the Bible, surely you must expect that I will defend them

God Bless you

that's fair.

Firstly, I never said the earth was 6,000 years old

I never said you did, BUT it has been mentioned in this thread that the Earth was 6,000 years. You asked me why I find it absurd not why do I find your claim absurd

though I think that count not to be far off the mark, but that is a different topic, this one is about dinosaurs.

Okay we'll stay on topic

Going even further such as you said, where are these bones that go further back than six thousand years? Again this debate is not about man or his ancestry.

Here are two sites dating human fossils as far as 195,000 years old..but I'll stay on topic

I wouldn't say dumb, I'm sure you're intelligent...I would say its more of a why-the-hell-would-you-believe-that idea

but still you're going to have to, if you choose to, explain why you believe it is a dumb idea, have you evidence that they did not?

does that really need explaining???

http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/09/23/1064082967426.html

that's just one of many and I doubt you could even provide any evidence that they did co-exist with man (don't give me any verses from the bible, others have tried that with me before)

My dear, yes I do think that the dinosaurs coexisted with man

What is your reasoning for believing so??

but I fail to see why the earth having once believed to being flat has anything to do with it

Nothing really, I was just being sarcastic

never once did the Bible state or promote the idea that the Earth was flat

perhaps did not say specifically 'flat earth' but it damn sure was implied:

Deuteronomy 13:7

...of the gods of the people which [are] round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the [one] end of the earth even unto the [other] end of the earth;

Deuteronomy 28:64

And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, [even] wood and stone.

Deuteronomy 28:64

And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto...

Isaiah 11:12*

And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

Matthew 4:8

Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

Luke 4:5

And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

I think you get the idea

in fact it states that it was round

No they didn't and I'm pretty sure your refering to:

Isa 40:22

It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth...

A circle is flat, 2-dimensional, give me a verse where it states that the earth is a sphere

I wonder how Biblical characters could have known this?

Simple answer, THEY DIDN'T.

If you are going to try to discredit the writings of the Bible, surely you must expect that I will defend them

I don't have to try very hard since the Bible does a good job discrediting itself. Why you'd defend such a thing, I don't know

God Bless you

Anne

Good day to you to

Amen Anne and thanks!
