What was God doing here?
>>18516645Dinosaurs are infinitely more based than human beings yet our species has the absolute gall to pretend we're "made in God's image" (despite the fact we've only existed for a tiny blip of Earth's history).
>>18516645You went and got your education from Satan and then come here asking where does God fit in? How will God fit in? That thing you posted is the picture of a fairly tale.
>>18516661Your entire worldview is based on a semitic fairytale about talking snakes and a zombie rabbi, shut up
>>18516645Having fun and playing with dinosaurs
>>18516664Yours was brought to you by Coca Cola.
I'm not a christkek but Dinosaurs are definitely not real. If you've ever seen a dinosaur skeleton in a museum it's a 'recreation' printed in china.
>>18516691>>18516692Holy shit Christians are retarded
The dinosaurs obeyed the law of Christ perfectly, without revelation and when it was hidden.They had no knowledge of sin and yet none did sin, for none was brought under the law of sin.I do have confidence that many in the angelic host are dinosouls that have gained the spiritual body.

>>18516776I bet that sounded epic in your head
If evolution is true how did our vital organs form? You need ALL of them in order to survive. A monkey randomly typing on a keyboard would only produce garbage.
>>18516645Bro most of this is debunked, macro evolution was always just a theory. The sediment layers were caused by the flood, there's literally trees standing straight up fossilized which should be impossible if each fossil layer happened gradually over a long period of time.Some niggas really would prefer to be a monkey than have moral accountability imposed onto them by their creator. It ain't worth going to hell over butt sex guys, wake the fuck up.
>>18517590>cherrypicked unsubstanciated claimif a single missmatch was sufficient to invalidate a narrative, what to make of the bible?
>>18517599What about the billions of missing in-between fossils? What about the samples of dinosaur tissues that should be impossible given that the carbon half life is only like 5k yrs?What about the fact that DNA is a digital programming language?What about the complexity of eyes? Irreducible complexity of life?Darweiner's theory is called a theory because it is exactly that, a theory. Bro got epigenetics right but we've never seen one kind of animal become another or create novel traits despite the fact that we breed literally billions of animals each year, chicken, cows, pigs, dogs, etc. Where are the novel mutations? It's almost like that shit was completely made up to fill in the gaps of his theory.
>>18517581>OUR vital organsThey didn't always exist. Instead of thinking in terms of "human minus XYZ", think "What series of specializations, duplications, and mutations led to humans?". You're putting the cart before the horse

>>18518443Your great×10,000 grandfather was not a fish.
>>18518448Evolution is a proved fact of reality. Yes, your great great x10,000,000,000 grandfather was indeed a fish.
>>18517581>If evolution is true how did our vital organs form?The universe has existed for 15 billion years.There was plenty of time for everything that exists today to form out of pure chance and trial and error.Viruses prove that there are intermediate stages between life and non-life, thus eliminating the need for an external God that creates life out of nowhere.You trying to see intelligent design in what exists today is simply an intellectual form of paraeidolia
>>18518433>it all just happened randomly, for no reason at all
>>18518458>pure chance and trial and errorThat doesn't follow. Even if you had 10 times the age of the universe there is nothing necessitating the formation of life. Most of the universe is empty so clearly the odds even with a great deal of time are extremely low.>creates life out of nowhereThis is not a mainstream theist position, in fact even man is said to be made from the earth.
>>18518459>It all happened in a way that LOOKED random with no reason at all, but that was just God's trick! You see , no matter how much you discover about the natural world God is always hiding behind the next experiment. It doesn't matter that we used to say that animals were created in their modern form 6000 years ago. Now, because science has shown that's not true, we get to say that God actually made trilobites and dinosaurs to TRICK us into thinking that he's not real!! Isn't God amazing?
>>18518458>trial and error.Doesn't "trial and error" presuppose a plan?
>>18518454First, no it's not proven at all. And second, a talking snake is way less ridiculous than a fish who randomly grew legs and lungs and walked out the sea and his children are now building cities and empires and iphones and speaking languages and doing mathematics ages later.
>>18518491>because science has shown that'sTruly the white man is the white man's God in the XXI Century.
>>18517590>macro evolution was always just a theory>implying micro evolution = ok>meanwhile macro evolution = series of micro evolutions over a long period of time??
>>18518500>First, no it's not proven at all.Yes it is. It's directly observed.> a talking snake is way less ridiculous than a fish who randomly grew legs and lungs and walked out the sea and his children are now building cities and empires and iphones and speaking languages and doing mathematics ages later.No, mutations accumulating more and more changes over generations is completely coherent. The bible has been disproved.
>>18518533Evolution has never been proven. There has never been observed one species becoming another species. There's no sign humans have existed for millions of years or hundreds of thousands of years. There's barely any trace of us anywhere in the world outside if what humans have built in the past 6'000 years.No, it's pretty ridiculous to even consider that a lion, a lizard, a human and condor all descend from this one fish that randomly grew legs and walked out the sea.Its pretty ridiculous to believe that one random cell that came out of nowhere, split into many pieces and over billions of years one of those pieces became human beings and another piece over the same time period became onions.How is the belief that humans, mosquitoes and onions evolved from the same being, sane in any way?
>>18518459Any chaotic system will eventually reach stability. Not random
>>18518492The plan is to survive and do it as smoothly as possible, the organism itself arranges the plan, it's not a top-down strategy>>18518471>Even if you had 10 times the age of the universe there is nothing necessitating the formation of lifeA "necessity" simply exists in reference to someone who has a need.It wasn't "necessary" for life to be born, but it was born.> Most of the universe is empty so clearly the odds even with a great deal of time are extremely low.And yet we're here today, so it happened. Cheers>This is not a mainstream theist position, in fact even man is said to be made from the earth.Either that earth is a more primitive lifeform still created by God or it's an inanimate object turned into a living being. In either case, the theist idea is that
>>18518562>hurr durr we have nothing in common with fish
>>18516645A few years ago, the science was saying that dinosaurs were reptiles. Now they're saying they were just birds. This research is not trustworthy.
>>18518698AI slop.

>>18517581Evolution is fake. I grow tired of biology becoming a battleground for American theological disputes.Regardless of theology. Evolution is very shitty science and biology hasn’t progressed since Goethe. The English are terrible at science.
>>18516645This sort of thing is a false dichotomy. It’s based on the belief that either God created the universe exactly as it is 6,000 years ago (a strawman that was never dogma), or there is no God and no supernatural.God must exist. When you study what God actually is, what his nature is, you realise that for God not to exist but further existence to come about on its own is illogical. The Catholic and Orthodox churches have no stance on dinosaurs or the age of the Earth because it’s irrelevant to the point of the Christian faith. Before man was created, the earth was filled with other life forms. So what? The days of creation are well understood to not be a literal 24 hour duration. There is no conflict with God creating the universe and earth over billions of years, allowing life to arise and specialise by secondary mechanisms he made, and then eventually, create man, and incarnate as Christ to bring salvation to men.
>>18519012>Muh fairy tale must be true because.... It just MUST, ok?!? Don't ask me how I know. I just FUCKING know, OK??
>>18518458I like when atheists mention the big bang when it was a catholic priest that came up with the idea and scientists at the time rejected the idea because they considered it to be religious nonsense since it proposes the idea that the universe had a start
>>18518712Im not a creationist but that image doesn't prove anything related to evolution. A creationist could simply say that God created creatures in a way that they are somewhat similar to each other in some ways. It makes sense, why would a creator create animals that are just completely random and have nothing in common with each other?
>>18519061Read a book

>>18518562>Evolution has never been proven.Evolution is directly observed.>There has never been observed one species becoming another species. This has, in fact, been observed. Speciation has been observed multiple times.>There's barely any trace of us anywhere in the world outside if what humans have built in the past 6'000 years.There are multiple human creations that are far older than 6000 years old>it's pretty ridiculous to even consider that a lion, a lizard, a human and condor all descend from this one fish that randomly grew legs and walked out the sea.No, it isn't. It's actually very easy to understand.>How is the belief that humans, mosquitoes and onions evolved from the same being, sane in any way?Because evolution is actually a pretty easy to understand mathematical principle.
>>18519159>Evolution is directly observed. >This has, in fact, been observed. Speciation has been observed multiple times.Complete lie.>There are multiple human creations that are far older than 6000 years oldNot a single one.>actually a pretty easy to understand mathematical principle.Just empty words you say.
>>18519173>Complete lie.No, it isn't.>Not a single one.Gobekli tepe>Just empty words you say.None of those are "empty words". Evolution is not a difficult concept to grasp.
You don't look identical to your fatherYour children will not look completely identical to you either Every generation of humans, looks slightly different than the previous generation. Even if the difference is 0.0001% it's still a difference we can observeNow imagine this happening over the course of 1 million yearsThis is evolutionIf this all goes over your head you're just retarded
>>18519188>No, it isn't.Show proof of an animal that became another completely distinct species of animal >Gobekli tepeWhy should I trust the dating of archeologists? What proof there is of their accuracy? Even so, 9000 years old is still nowhere near your claim we've been kicking around and mutating for a few hundred thousand to a million years.Saying that it is mathematically possible that a random clump of cells can eventually become an onion or an elephant if left alone for a billion years it's not proof that the world and life on it was caused by a random cell randomly mutating to every single combination of genes like a hacker brute forcing a password until it came up with every single creature in the universe, randomly, without any input from anyone or anything over the course of 100 billion years.And somehow that is more sane to believe that an intelligent God designed everything.
>>18516645My best understanding is that all happened between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2.
>>18518533>No, mutations accumulating more and more changes over generations is completely coherent.This doesn't provide a reason or explain why there is something instead of nothing.
>>18519012>The days of creation are well understood to not be a literal 24 hour duration.They are 24 hour days, see Exodus 20:11."For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it."(Exodus 20:11)

>>18516645That’s atheist fiction, it’s not real. Those all are equally old, about 6,000 years.

>>18519877That presupposes that God did not create the world, since it presupposes that the matter which exists is the product of a natural process. It is circular reasoning.
>>18521899It doesn't presuppose anything, it observes it (it is a post-supposition, not a presupposition). You presupps need to stop with this extremely low tier argumentation.
>>18521905That is incorrect, this statement “By measuring the ratio between uranium and lead in the soil we can confirm that the soil formed over 4.5 billion years ago” directly presupposes that the lead in the soil arose through the natural process of uranium degenerating into it, since otherwise it is irrelevant evidence. Not too bright are we?

>>18521938>You didn’t observe the uranium decay into the lead thoughWe observe this happening, that's how we can measure the rate.>and made an irrelevant calculation based on it.It's not irrelevant seeing as it is the direct calculation
>>18521942>We observe this happeningThat’s irrelevant, you didn’t observe this in the past as the origin of all lead on earth>It's not irrelevant seeing as it is the direct calculationSince there is no reason to believe all lead on earth is the product of a natural process, it is irrelevant because the lead and uranium you are comparing are equally old (about 6,000 years) having been simultaneously created from nothing.
>>18521945>Since there is no reason to believe all lead on earth is the product of a natural process,We don't, we specifically look for Lead-206, and the other isotopes in the Uranium series, such as Ionium, radium, radon and so fourth, and the presence and quantities of these is predictable and expected with the decay rate of uranium, which we can also observe directly, as the weight of uranium changes as expected based on the atomic weight of its decay particles based on their atomic mass unitsSome of these isotopes, such as radon, have a half-life of only 3 days by the way, so they can only exist naturally as a result of uranium decay
>>18521956>so they can only exist naturallyThe matter of the universe does not exist naturally, but supernaturally was created from nothing.
>christians claim that the millions of fossils that have been dug up by different countries, including ones that are enemies, all in the exact correct places that evolution predicts they will be with no contradictions AND basic chemistry that every chemistry student learns in their sophmore year of university AND basic mathematics are all lies because they think their book says the earth is only a few thousand years old

There is an argument that the genealogies of scripture are incomplete, and contain some omissions, but if this is granted it could only establish a few thousand extra years, and nowhere near the few billion necessary to reconcile the Epicurean creation myth.
>>18521988“Transitional form” is a question-begging epithet. Species A B and C are only creatures which are substantially similar to each other, and not related to each other, likewise this or that stratum and location represents an environment, i.e. one which would be favorable to the creature while it was alive. “Date” is a falsehood and irrelevance because 1. it is identical to stratum in this context, and 2. age is not a physical property.
