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.

Explain something to me Master Mind, the scientist whom you criticize, have years of training. They have the technology to test the carbon dating methods on multiple levels. The science is in a consensus with other scientific fields that support each other. You have the training and the evidence, which lead to testable results, that are repeatable and predictable. In short it works.
How does your ‘god inspired” bible compare to that ? Book one , page one, it describes the planet Earth, as a flat disc, covered by a crystal dome, with the sun and the moon ( both the same size ) rotating inside of it. It even says the moon is an independent source of light. It says outer space is water, above and below. The Earth is the center of creation, and all the planets move around it, while we sit on fixed pillars. And that’s just for starters. Those holy men, supposedly got their “facts” from god. They had no education in research, no tools , nothing. In short, either they got it wrong, or god lied to them.
What is true now, was true then. The bible fails the test of time. It is not reliable, and if you really wanted to, you could confirm these “truths” for yourself.
Taking this into account, why would anyone actually interested in reality and the real world, look at the bible, or simply accept god’s word ?

@DocSavage 1 Chronicles 16:30 - The world is firmly established, it can not be moved (by force). So many incidences, so many volcanic eruptions yet, the earth is so firmly established on its orbit that the Earth can even withstand a nuclear disaster and not move an inch.

Now, you wanted Science classes from God? How shallow is that? You want to say God should have given you a detailed explanation of how the earth was formed? It would take 8000 pages, Sadly, God revealed not to satisfy your curiosity of this life but a bigger question, what happens after we are no more. When Doctor says with his eyes down, "Sad to say patient is no more"

It is sad that you were even expecting God to tell you in Bible how he created the earth? That is quite silly in itself. Grow up brother.

@Peterpaul17
And you expect me to give you lessons in biology, physics, evolution, cosmology, astronomy, geology, etc. ?
We don’t need god to tell us how he created earth. When the bible got the few detail it did have wrong, others decided to see if they can get it right.
You might want to overlook the little mistakes, in favor of what you consider the big picture. But the truth matters to some people, more than the myth.

@DocSavage I have already spent Alot of time dealing with all those subjects before coming to the conclusion that it is God and we should not waste our time researching about how he created things, rather in this short life, we should roam around, enjoy the green field, mountains, tides, the ocean, the ocean currents, the plateaus, the deserts rather than trying to find out how they formed and let the other generation come and make out hard working theory look like a lie.

It’s not your time is it ? You may be content to accept the fairytales of an old book. I still don’t see why you find the science so offensive. The fact that god didn’t create it all, doesn’t rob it of it’s wonder or beauty.
I think what frightens you, is the idea that the reality takes away you dream of the afterlife. There never were any guarantees.

@DocSavage Have you ever read about How badly do you want to kill a mosquito and it escapes in between your hands. We have got big brains but what about it? How many bits and bytes in such a small creature that it anticipates your move so quickly? Do you ever wonder what is inside the brain cells of those mosquitoes?
Or for example, let us take a cell and try to find similarity between a cell structure and structure of the universe and the same structure of an atom?

Or Are you sure that the metals and elements which are present on earth, that mndlf periodic table has some 108 elements on earth. Do you think an extra element say 109th will not be present on Sun? Seriously?

If that is the case, then I do have a problem with the Hydrogen Helium concept of the NARROW SPHERE of science?

@Peterpaul17
Here’s a novel idea. If you have a problem with it, put down your bible, and start with google. If it can’t provide you with an answer, it can probably provide you with reference to someone who can.
Someone out there took the time and effort, even if you didn’t.

Incidentally, none of what your saying has anything to do with the flood mythologies and dinosaur fossils. Godspeed63 still got it wrong, despite his faith.
