Belief Follows Truth

Drumheller, Alberta, Canada is considered the “dinosaur capital of the world” because of the number and variety of dinosaur fossils uncovered in this unique site. Well, this site is in the news again—and it’s not just due to the discovery of a near-complete skeleton of a hadrosaur (a “duck-billed dinosaur”), but because of the presence of fossilized soft tissue, including tendons and “dark, scaly skin” with a pebbly texture (like the surface of a basketball).
This incredible find shows the creature had to be buried very quickly, even before the skin could decay! The scientist who discovered the specimen says: I think [the specimen] was covered quite quickly, otherwise it wouldn't be this well preserved . . . You can see some of its vertebrae and tendons, and once you get closer, you can see some of its scales. The dark, scaly skin has a basketball-like texture. This is something really special; you don't find things like this very often out in the field.
Now, what could cover a 13-foot-long dinosaur that quickly (and that deep) for it to be preserved with soft tissue (like skin) still intact? Certainly not the “complex river system” they imagine buried this creature in silt and sandstone millions of years ago. After all, rivers in the present are not constantly burying and fossilizing creatures! So how do they know that must have happened in the past?
They don’t! That’s a worldview interpretation based on their starting point of evolution and millions of years of slow and gradual processes. But this find makes much more sense in a biblical worldview. We understand that this hadrosaur was rapidly and catastrophically buried during the global flood of Noah’s day. It wasn’t sitting around on a riverbank waiting to be buried! It was submerged in a deluge of muddy water and buried by silt and sand, quickly becoming a fossil. (And this wasn’t millions of years ago—it was just around 4,350 years ago.)

Science—including the study of dinosaurs—continues to confirm the history in God’s Word again and again.

Amen to that!! The Truth, the whole Truth, and nothing but the Truth. There is no other.

You forgot to mention the part in the articles that mention the fossil is probably between 75 and 77 million years old

The articles I’ve read say nothing about a global flood or that the dinosaur in question was galavanting around 4,350 years ago @LadyGrace

LadyGrace ·

@AbbySvenz I read an article the other day where scientists believe there was definitely a global flood as described in the Bible.

AbbySvenz · F

There is not enough water on the earth — even if all of the ice melted— to cover the mountain peaks to a depth of 15 cubits @LadyGrace

LadyGrace ·

@AbbySvenz Well apparently it did. Remember....God sent the rain, so it covered the earth.

AbbySvenz · F

Well you’ll have to point me to the scientific paper that describes how precisely those laws of physics were violated @LadyGrace

LadyGrace ·

@AbbySvenz God already did that. He said it, it is true, though not all will agree. The details are in His Word. You will find the account there.

LadyGrace ·

@AbbySvenz When it rains, tell me how the law of physics is violated?

AbbySvenz · F

So, no scientific evidence, then? @LadyGrace

LadyGrace ·

@AbbySvenz Answer the question I asked you.

AbbySvenz · F

When it rains, tell me how the law of physics is violated?

It isn’t.

It’s the roughly ten Atlantic oceans worth of water needed to cover the entire surface of the planet up to 22 feet past the peak of Mount Everest that violates the physics. @LadyGrace

LadyGrace ·

@AbbySvenz That's right....it isn't. Just because you can't understand it doesn't mean it violated any physics.

@AbbySvenz Hey there, grow up a bit and study more. Physics actually came into studies not long back and the principles of physics can easily be violated in changing the dimensions. In upcoming years, you may study a BRAND NEW revamped subject - The RELATIVE physics.

Till 1980s, physics was given quite consideration but after that, it started fading away for people now see a larger picture, Many laws in physics are violated every now and then, physics has nothing to offer, no explanation, nothing. Physics just makes it an exception. The more you research in humanity subjects, the more you will find that Physics is shallow.

AbbySvenz · F

I can do math, and the numbers do not add up. The volume of water needed far exceeds the amount available on the planet @LadyGrace

LadyGrace ·

@AbbySvenz So what? It rained!!!

Peterpaul17 · 36-40, M

@AbbySvenz I guess you have not heard about a phenomena of "Cloud Burst"

LadyGrace ·

@Peterpaul17 😂😂😂 So true.

Peterpaul17 · 36-40, M

@AbbySvenz And if you would read carefully, physics does talk about the torrent rain. But it says, initially, the earth was still taking its shape and solidifying. The gases escaped out of the earth and with huge amount of escaped gases, it rained continiously for a long time being suspended on sulpher, other molecular particles and it filled up whole of the earth with water. A hypothesis of physics. Interestingly, this could happen again too is what I think (but at the will of the God)

LadyGrace ·

@Peterpaul17 That's a brilliant explanation and true, but it will never happen again. The Lord put the rainbow in the sky as a reminder and promise to all who see it, that there would never be another flood to cover the Earth.

AbbySvenz · F

Particulate theory, which is the same idea behind cloud seeding, yes I am familiar with it. Still does not explain 40 days and 40 nights of rain producing more water than is even on the planet to begin with.

Where did all that water go?

The Noachian flood did not take place in the formative years of the planet, it was supppsedly 4,000-ish years ago @Peterpaul17

Peterpaul17 · 36-40, M

@AbbySvenz That is what I am trying to make you understand Miss Abby that when scientists want to fill the planet with water, they can let it rain for thousand continuous years and when scientists do not want rain, they would create a drought. They just want their end whatever their means is. For them, egg is good someday and then egg is harmful the other day. What about them. They know nothing. Not more than even you.

LadyGrace ·

@AbbySvenz It doesn't have to make sense to you. God accomplished what he had to and it's not up to anyone to judge that or say it didn't happen. That historical fact based on archaeological finds, is not going to make one bit of difference, when it comes to salvation. He told us the most important thing we need to know and that's how to get right with Him, before He comes back, so that's what really counts. And I'm sure many will disclaim that as well, but that sure won't change God's plans. They will be accomplished. And just like the people that laughed and mocked Noah in his day, saying there would be no flood, sure found out differently and the same will happen at Christ's Second Coming. That's not an if. It's a promise. They can all laugh all they want right now but they won't be laughing long when Christ comes back.

@LadyGrace Amen, sister, amen!!

@Peterpaul17 You would toss out the trustworthy in order to keep your fantasy alive? You would play the age card in order to prove that your mind is superior? Not much of a man, are you? Go conjure your extra oceans.

@AbbySvenz
The amount of water is for the flat earth model, not the globe. They thought outer space was all water above and below the firmament. Not that that matters to the chunk heads here.
