I didn't know that about the Stegosaurus, I'll have to look it up to see what the carving looks like. I've been interested in dinosaurs since I was a kid, my poor Mom couldn't keep enough books in front of me on the subject. Now there are so many different views on the subject, maybe it's time I studied some more to catch up.

Interesting blog Nileyears! I read recently that some still believe the Earth is flat!!

I just watched a video on you tube about this carving on the temple. It looks more like a Stegosaurus than a pig, though not a perfect carving of one, the carvings above and below it aren't perfect either. Views about dinosaurs still roaming about the Earth when man came along seem to be changing. Scientists are studying this now, and I find it kind of exciting! Check out fossils of man's foot prints and dinosaurs found together. Come on, you have to admit this is kind of cool, right? Then again it may not be of interest to you, but I like it!

The Biblical timeline has always been in direct conflict with the established scientific proofs. The wiser of the Biblical scholars have always given the age of human existence to be roughly 5000 years and the the Earth slightly more, even those there is known scientific proof to establish the age of the Earth at around 4.5 billion years. I won't compare the relative length of these periods because it is unimportant in the grand scheme of things, isn't it? I figure both the Bible and science can be simultaneously correct if you consider difference dimensions or even different universes. After all, we are merely parsing words in the end...or the beginning, in this case. Truthfully, if Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton can get away with their lies, then humanity should be able to accept about anything. I guess is depends on what your definition of "was" is. Paul and I would be good friends.  Fossil

But Lulu, not all studies are done by Creationists. I have heard scientists change their views before, maybe it's because science now has new ways to verify things. Look how much things have advanced in the past couple of decades. In scientific studies, nothing is set in stone. I'll keep an open mind about this subject, I find it fascinating.

I have to agree, and for those who believe in evolution, I just don't buy it, for if that were the case, would we not still be evolving?

the flat earth thing is a real belief some people have, and they make an interesting case. of note the 'United Nations' symbol is of a flat earth and maybe an indication of where this is all coming from and going. there are dimensions beyond our comprehension and who can say they understand all of creation. and i've been around the globe in the Air Force back and forth a few times. also the genuisis annoy me how they add millions and billions of years to their theories to the point who can make any sense of anything. only a handful of people were even here a 100 yrs ago and we all pick and chose what we believe based on what we understand. or don't lulu has NO concrete evidence of ANYTHING beyond the senses & preconceived opinion. And that is my preconceived opinion

I agree, the law of bio-genesis says that, "Life comes from life." That cant be disproven. There has not been one shred of evidence to prove othewise so far. It's all fantasy to think a big bang (which would have pasturised everything) would then somehow create life. Pretty absurd. Judgment Day will be interesting - and all paths lead there.

Hi Nile: Apparently birds evolved from dinosaurs. I think it's strange that there are people who don't believe dinosaurs existed.

We are still evolving! I don't understand why some people can't see that. The human mind and intellect are continuing to develop at a great speed, faster than ever known before. The physical side of human development goes at a slower rate, but even that is progressing. We just have to look back a hundred years or so to find the evidence of that. The history of humanity is intertwined with the history of art and science... without each of them human life would not have progressed beyond the hunter-gatherer stage. They are not separate "beliefs" they are intrinsic parts of human development. There is plenty of evidence in history which proves that.

So I guess I am full of malarkey, but at least I have fun. Studying and getting new perspectives keeps ones mind open, and like I have said before, scientists, not Creationists, have proven old science wrong. Not only that, take scientists who make phony claims, or who lie about results of an experiment, only to be found out later that they were fakes. Take Einstein's theory of a static universe, as great of a scientist that he was, his theory was wrong and proven wrong by other scientists. How about Cold Fusion? Junk science, proven wrong. Now to get back to what this blog is about is this, the coworker is saying dinosaurs never existed, never, and the dinosaur bones are fake.

Hi Nile: Apparently birds evolved from dinosaurs. I think it's strange that there are people who don't believe dinosaurs existed. I found that strange also, maybe the pastor of his church planted that in his head. Some people actually believe the Earth is only 5,000 years old and they won't except any other view point. Sad, huh?

You're right Maisie, I forgot about all the other creation stories, I wasn't thinking about them at all. Somehow my blog of a person not believing dinosaurs existed turned into a battle of science verses creation. Which I can see why it happened, because I used the Bible as a reference so Paul could prove to this coworker that dinosaurs actually did exists and this coworker could look it up in his own Bible, because he flat out told everyone "it's not in the Bible".

I have fossil ferns from the Permian era which I personally dug from rocks about 250 million years old. These ferns lived and died before the first dinosaur walked the Earth. Fossil

Good question. Goes along with the Big Bang Theory, where did all that matter come from, or even evolution, where did that one cell come from? So many questions, no answers, only theories.
