None of the writings any religion is based on mention dinosaurs or how they all ended up extinct

If creationism is true then dinosaurs lived amongst humans only thousands of years ago but somehow every species of what we'd call a dinosaur ended up extinct without any evidence of being hunted to extinction

None of the creation stories in any of the religions explain why there's fucking giant lizard bones in the ground
You'd think if the Bible or any of them were actually the word of god then there would have been atleast one verse that would've been like:
>"btw I got rid of these huge lizards cus I felt like they were too much of a threat to mankind lol"
Or something like that

But no, none of them explain dinosaurs or how they died
Because all the world's religions were written by peasants who had very limited knowledge of the world

Same reason Christianity or Islam don't mention any lands unknown to semitic traders
You'd think god would mention how he created places like the Americas but the only places mentioned in the Bible were places known to Levantine merchants

Religious scripture never mentions anything that's unknown to whatever nation it was written in

Sure he does - Jesus being the Son of God. The mark of the beast being 666. But you can't seem to have sources for this information yourself so your argument really is "the word of God doesn't provide them information in this very particular niche where they wouldn't know it, but precisely 2000 later I would know it and I couldn't explain it away by uncertain dating like I do with Daniel and I couldn't explain it away with people traveling and guessing like I do with whateverthefuck Muslims are yapping about". I don't even think you're completely wrong, but you definitely make your criterion sound more objective than it is.

Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.

Why is God so inconsistent with His signs?

So God gave Moses permission to split the sea in half and hundreds of Jews and Egyptians were allowed to see it. And He also performed scientific miracles and predictions in His holy books as proof He is real. And He also provides anecdotal evidence to believers today, and there is supposedly proof of the great flood, and Noah's Ark's remains. But then God also decided to plant dinosaur bones to misguide people and He filled the Earth's core at the 66 million years ago layer with Iridium, especially around a 200 km wide crater, Iridium being a rare metal that basically only comes from space rocks. Lol.
>>

Maybe its because that never happened, since its an unprovable theory. Theres massive nuclear craters in Kazakhstan from when the soviets detonated massive H-bombs and that caused nothing near a catastrophic extinction event

Just look at this pic related. So they found the bones of some large turtle looking thing, and as you can see by the wiring they have no actual idea what the thing is, just speculation.

Lol

Size (Crater Diameter)
Kazakhstan (Atomic Lake / Chagan): ~400–430 meters wide (about 0.4 km).

Chicxulub (dinosaur extinction): ~180–200 km wide.

How many times bigger?

Chicxulub is roughly 450 times wider than the Kazakhstan crater.

To visualize:
If the Kazakhstan crater is the size of a large building (~400 m), Chicxulub is the size of a major metropolitan area (like a city 180+ km across).

Depth
Kazakhstan: ~100 meters deep.
Chicxulub: Transient crater (initial hole) was ~30 km deep; final structure buried under ~1 km of sediment today.

Energy / Magnitude (Explosive Power)

Kazakhstan (Chagan test):
140 kilotons (0.14 megatons) of TNT.

Chicxulub impact:
~100 million megatons (100 teratons) of TNT.

How many times more powerful?

The asteroid impact released energy equivalent to roughly 700 million times the Chagan explosion (or about 2 billion times a single Hiroshima bomb).

Lmao

>how exactly would you expect to recognize what we call "brontosaurus" in Koine Greek?
Does that fucking matter?
Why would it matter what they'd call it?

I think calling it a niche is a cop out
There existed thousands of different, gigantic species of beasts which ruled the land, air and waters of the earth but for some reason they're all gone
I don't think it's niche to ask about that huge fucking gap in the creation myth

How often do we have to tell you mutts that nobody outside of your (((bible belt))) believes in "creationism"?
>>
>>18510837
>>listening to archaeologists explaining archaeology is...le bad
No, its just basic history. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was considered insane and laughed out of relevancy when he discovered germs because he wasn't educated by any top universities that existed in the 17th century, and his claims seemed like delusions. This issue will never be solved, which is why many doctorates would even agree themselves that they don't have hard proof of anything that isn't observable, because even when it is, it's still not good enough.

>Putting words in my mouth

Lmao you are so frustrated that I don't believe your shit rock turtle is a super natural reptile from a shillion years ago. What I find even funnier is you seem like the type that would criticize capitalism, but suddenly wont apply it to these mythical/esoteric science discoveries.

>>18510732
Is that a full fossil? Or did they find a single bone and make the rest up?
>>
>>18510832
it's really showing your retardation that you think we blindly believe scientists

The archaeologists provide detailed information on how they acquire and measure data relevant to the time of dinosaurs
This data is easily accessible, anyone can view it and most of the data is easily replicable

If you think thousands of archaeologists over the span of 150 years are wrong then you can easily perform the data they gather and view the results yourself

Yes it does, because you set it up as a criterion and it turns out you would never know if it were the case.

We don't even have to look at fossils to recognize that Noah's Ark is nonsense.

>but if fossils were complete bullshit to begin with then there wouldn't be any fossils at all to even make a partial skeleton

That wasn't the claim I made, the claim I made is that you have a chunk of dirt that kinda sorta looks like a turtle of some kind. Who cares? This is not definitive or objective proof that it was a dinosaur from 1000 millenniums ago
>nice way to prove you're a brain dead retard by making an unrelated discussion about politics
No, that point related to the fact that there is a monetized angle to modern science, which wasn't even a point that needed scrutiny from the past. Its only recent that research viability relies upon cash flow, which would make most of these findings even more dubious.
>>
>>18510869
if your religion can't explain mega extinctions then it probably isn't real

Regardless of it being a niche it is still a major factor in natural history and if it's not explained by your creation story then it's not true
>>
>>18510883
And if you ever took a 9th grade statistics course you would realize saying, "but I looked at the data" is completely irrelevant. If you took a 10th grade civics or political science class then you would realize simply saying, "but I looked at the data" is a fallacy that only a stupid person would hold stock in

Just because the field of scientific research can be corrupt like any other field doesn't mean everything it produces is fake or bias, you fucking moron
Cooking your meat or washing your produce to prevent bacteria from entering your body is also the product of scientific research, are you going to stop doing that?
>>
My sides, using Leeuwenhoek to disprove science is completely absurd. Immediately after they saw what he saw they acknowledged it.
>>
>Logical Argument:
Suppose God wanted to fake the existence of dinosaurs to test people's faith. This implies that evidence is not good for knowing the truth, which contradicts the idea of God's books predicting scientific discoveries, because scientific evidence cannot be trusted, therefore predictions of science in the Bible also cannot be trusted as "proof." So if the bible has scientific miracles in it, then why does God also tell us not to trust science at the same time? And why does God also tell us to ignore evidence and proof? The antichrist supposedly is going to come in the future WITH PROOF and signs and we are told to REJECT him. This is rather suspicious. Because the Bible effectively wants you to believe in God WITHOUT a reason AND the Bible also wants you to REJECT any future prophets that come bearing PROOF and EVIDENCE of their claims. Rather sketchy...?

Evidence Argument:
There is evidence dinosaurs were real, below the Earth's surface are many layers of history. The farther you go down, the older it gets. There is a special layer estimated around 66 million years ago that is filled with iridium, a rare metal that almost always comes from asteroids and space rocks rather than forming naturally on the Earth. Suspiciously, the dinosaur bones are all below that layer, meaning all the dinosaurs lived before that moment. There's also the massive 200 km Chixculub impact crater near Mexico, craters like that are also formed by asteroids, except this one is big enough that no asteroid could make such a crater unless it were a crater massive enough to cause significant damage to the Earth and potentially extinct the dinosaurs.

>Trust Argument:
There are many people who do not even believe there is evidence of the dinosaurs' existence. So if God wanted to deceive Mankind by planting dinosaur bones in the ground, why did he only show the dinosaur bones to some and allow others to see no proof of the dinosaur bones, why didn't deceive everyone equally? Lol.

So scientists also believe that whales used to be land creatures that evolved to be big and have massive lungs so they could hold their breath under water for a long time. And modern whales cannot breathe under water they take massive breaths with their gigantic lungs and they need to surface every once in a while to breathe air again and then they splash all the humans watching them and go back under the water. Whales also still have a small hip bone that scientists say was never phased out of the gene pool and kinda just sits there doing nothing. How do you explain that. If whales were designed specifically to swim in the waters, why does a swimming creature have to breathe air and not water like the other sea creatures, and why does it have a hip bone for no reason. Doesn't that support the theory that it was a land animal that evolved over time to have big lungs lol.

Chicxulub dwarfs Toba.


Toba was one of the largest volcanic events and stressed ecosystems (possibly contributing to local hardships or genetic pressures), but it was not on the scale of a mass extinction driver like Chicxulub.

No, I don't agree that the exhaust fumes that I exhale are going to cause the civilized world to end on the account of bad weather. The amount of actions humans have taken to clean their act compared to previous centuries is one thing, plus I think its chauvinistic to believe we humans created cars and factories so mighty that it could end the planet as we know it.

It's kinda pointless. A talking cunning snake is about communicating with inherent danger, something at the limits of your perception and understanding. What are huge lizards walking and dying about?

By changing the DNA of mice, scientists at Colossal biosciences were able to make the mice grow fluffy golden brown hairs, proving that the physical body comes from DNA.

You can confirm someone's ancestry and relatives by comparing their DNA. This is so accurate it can be used in court as acceptable biological evidence.

Cum contains only half as much DNA as the rest of the body, and womb eggs contain the other half. When you cum into the womb, the two halves of the DNA combine to make a Zygote which has full human DNA.

Small variances in DNA occur every generation, which can build up over time, which is the basis for evolution proving it is possible, it can be examined in bacteria in real time. The evolution part also adds that environmental stressors can contribute to the changes in DNA in a meaningful way. This can also be observed in real time like when bacteria become resistant to antibiotics.

DNA is like a manual for building your body. If you have kids, then your manual is combined with your wife's manual to form your kid's manual, but with some random spice thrown in. This is why kids look just like their parents combined, but not exactly. If the kid survives long enough to have his own kids, then his manual gets copied again too. Nature can sometimes filter out bad manuals, this is evolution. If trees are too tall to eat fruit, then the manuals with short necks die off and the manuals with long necks live on, giraffes lol.

it actually mentions Satan/Lucifer who is an angel. snakes are a figure of Satan in that Satan is a dirt-eating poisonous killer. other "fiery serpents" torment the children of israel in the wilderness.
in fact, even if you thought the serpent in Eden were just a literal snake for some reason, it would only be one(1) talking snake, not multiple.

The bible does mention dinosaurs as was explained to you early in the thread and you chose to disregard. However, the reason the bible mentions dinosaurs is because they still walked this earth. They were not unfamiliar to the author and his audience. I’m responding to the general principle you’ve asserted, that if the bible is the word of God it should talk about natural facts unknown to its original audience, which is absurd.

Okay. For what it's worth I used to believe in exactly what you did about 20 years ago when I was much younger. Since then theres been so many retarded "revisions: to what I was originally taught that I really dont care anymore.

I mean shit, top "dieticians" have yet to even land on what is and isn't an objectively good diet for humans that I cant even comprehend why anyone gives a shit about whats speculated 100 million years ago. We've gotten the youth to quit cigarettes and yet colon cancer is now killing people under 40. Its ALL bullshit for the most part.

No. The point of the bible is to reveal God, His nature and His holiness to men, their sin and condemnation, the only way of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, how God is to be worshipped, and how men are to live under God.
>>
>>18511052
Not him but I don't really understand this argument at all. Why is it bad to criticize a book from a long time ago that has no evidence? And why is that comparable to using evidence to make a statement about something that is even longer? Age and history is not the important thing here, it's the evidence and the facts that are important, one is just a story, there's plenty old stories, the age of the story doesn't matter, it's what the story implies that matters. Lol.

because dinosaurs lived a long time ago and the earth (and the universe) was made 6,000 years ago. fossilization is an ongoing process and therefore part of an old earth.

IDK if this comes as a surprise to anyone in this thread, but religion has historically been used BY the authorities to CONTROL their people. A lot of religions are about control, submission, and basically letting yourself be cucked by the higher classes, telling slaves to serve their masters, telling the dalits they are below the brahmins, giving you clear laws and rules that benefit the ancient society. It's literally "just trust me bro" even moreso than science is. Religion is more about trusting the authority more than science is by a country mile. The entire basis of religions is that you need to believe in an invisible authority figure and follow his laws for no reason and testing him is a sin lol.
>>
>>18511075
There are a thousand and one ways the dinosaurs could've been used in the bible

The main point is god in any of these holy books explains or describes any earthly elements unknown to man at that time

I'm not gonna lie, it would be cool if God dropped in a useless fun fact about dead reptiles. Would it be relevant to what the Bible is about? Not really... Would it provide some unique symbolic opportunities? No... Would any atheists pick up the cross if they saw big lizards mentioned in the Bible? Please...
>>
Ancient religious books only deal in things that are known at the time, based on simple observations, and then make up extraordinary tales to describe the things that are unknown at the time, and then hint that they might be symbolic or metaphors so that you can't disprove it later, just as a backup plan in case humanity ever finds out the answers one day. It's very clear about things that are known at the time, like an ostrich running fast.
>Yet when she spreads her feathers to run, she laughs at horse and rider.
Let's make a clear observation about something that we know, but then lets only make vague symbolic references to everything else so that way nobody can disprove us later when people learn more about the world. Penguins aren't even mentioned in the Bible once because Jews didn't know penguins existed. There's no mention of antarctica or any place the Jews didn't know about in the Bible because God didn't want to tell them anything they didn't already know, and if He did He was symbolic and vague about it so the future generations couldn't say it was wrong lol.
>>
>>18511100
>Would any atheists pick up the cross if they saw big lizards mentioned in the Bible?
If the bible or quran actually provided undisputable information about some aspect of earth that was otherwise unknown to men then I'd may actually consider religion

>>18511104
There are three things required to actualize.

Knowledge
Motivation
Ability.

Science is knowledge
Religion is motivation.

You're reading a book about spirituality as if its a scientific text book. Thats not what it is.

Good Science will tell you how to build an atomic bomb. Good Religion will tell you not to use it.
>>
>>18511064
Oh please, "empirical evidence" becomes abstract real quick in almost every study. This is more observable and concrete than dinosaurs ironically enough.
>>
>>18511106
The thing is, most atheists are willing to become religious if they saw convincing evidence, however most theistic people are the exact opposite way. Theists are told by their own scripture to REJECT someone who comes with evidence. They are told that evidence contradicting their religion is always FALSE or a deception. They are even explicitly told that there will be a great false prophet who comes bearing actual signs and evidence and proof. So they are not only taught to believe an invisible authority figure for no reason, but they are also taught to deny any future prophets who come with actual evidence and proof.

>Dinosaurs: FAKE
>Germs: FAKE

The antichrist is even described as performing miracles like making it rain fire out of the sky. What if a REAL prophet came in the future, preaching the one TRUE religion but he didn't agree with any existing religion? Well, the abrahamic religions will call him a false prophet BECAUSE he came with proof. Lol.
>>
>>18511106
"Undisputable" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Say God communicated to the Hebrews that there existed dinosaurs. Say he even communicated an approximate timeline of when they existed. At what point in the Bible do you think they would've mentioned it? Anything past Gen 1 and Gen 2 is too late. Gen 1 is intentionally stripped to symbolic basics and doesn't mention individual species of anything, so it's Gen 2. Animals are brought up in verses 19 and 20:

>19 Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.
>20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals but for Adam no suitable helper was found.

Let's just shove them dinosaurs up there.

>20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals [including massive lizards who later died out] but for Adam no suitable helper was found.

...you would dispute this in 0.5 seconds, if not for the vagueness then for the misleading depiction of dinosaurs living alongside humans. In reality there is no realistic way in which dinosaurs could have been incorporated into the Bible that would compel you to religion. It's just one of those niche topics that people like today and wish the Bible had told them about it. But in reality it's entirely irrelevant to human spiritual struggle and to reliability.

>making it rain fire out of the sky
This is jyst knowledge and ability. Good Religion tells us we dont want fire raining from the sky. Therefore, a being who is doing this has bad motivations. Knowledge and ability are just tools.

Don't trust the experts. The experts are deceiving you with their technology and their medicine. Trust the book written by shepherds or else you will burn in a fire.

I have the freedom to do everything my god said 2000 years ago so that way I don't burn in the fire. Heh. Keep bending the knee to authority figures you science idiots. We religious folk never bend the knee to authority figures, we don't just "trust the science" lmao, we believe in God because the Bible says so, amen heh. Trusting shepherds and ancient miracle workers is much better than trusting experts and their lame technology and medicine.
