One reason I hate Mississippi

F

FUCK THE POLICE

911 EVERY DAY
Got into a class today. The teacher asked us what's the oldest object we'd ever seen, and I mentioned the dinosaur fossil I had seen at the Museum of Natural History. She then mumbled a bit and completed her sentence with "So how old is that? About 7000 years?"

*sigh*




That's all, thankyou for your time :o

Correct response: "Which makes it about two years older than you."

Its common knowledge throughout the southern United States, that the earth is only a few thousand years old.

Oddly enough, the bible doesn't seem to mention the children of adam and eve playing with, or interacting with dinosaurs.

It doesn't mention them playing or interacting with bunnies either, does that mean that they didn't exist?

:rolleyes:

Damo thinks Dinosaurs existed in biblical times. :pke:

lol. I like playing devil's advocate. It is fun. And funny.

Cypress thinks bunnies didn't exist 6000 years ago, horses either as they were not mentioned as playing with Adam and Eve's kids.

Personally I have always wondered who they had their kids with. It only mentions them having male children.

Uhh, Damo...this is lame :pke:

have you even read the bible? There are dozens of animals mentioned in there: mammals, reptiles, fish, etc. Rabbit is just one species of mammal. I'm quite sure that because a whole host of other mammals are mentioned in the bible, its prudent to assume that the mammal rabbit existed back then too.

Dinosaurs aren't a singular species like a rabbit. The are an entire group or Genus of animals. Yet, not one mention of any dinosaurs.

But they weren't mentioned as playing with Adam and Eve's kids as you promoted. Somewhere along the line they must have been created, right? Because if dinosaurs weren't mentioned playing with them, then they weren't there.

BTW - Dinosaurs covered more than one Genus.

So, according to your logic, we can assume that because reptiles were mentioned that maybe the dinosaurs that fit in that Genus might have existed?

Translation: "I won't admit I was wrong, when I said rabbits weren't mentioned in the bible, ergo we can't rule out whether or not they existed in biblical times....instead, I'm going to focus on a silly little phrase about playing with dinsosaurs, that was not meant to be taken seriously"


:pke:
 
Mississippi must be cool...........

They have rabbits and horses and dinosaurs not to mention Adam and Eve...then again they have'Mint Julips' thats pretty cool...but I would not want to live there just visit!;)

I never said that, please link to that post. (My Doniston Impression.)

I said, that the bible does not report Adam and Eve's kids playing with bunnies.... Not that they are never mentioned.

Let me "Translate" your post for you.

"I said something ridiculous about Adam and Eve's kids playing with dinosaurs, then I got called out on it. Instead of admitting my original assertion was ridiculous I pretend that I said something else."

I'm in college, Care. This was a professor. Or, at least, a community college proffessor. I should've gone straight to a 4-year, goddamit...

She's very old, and she's an English literature teacher, not a science teacher. If she grew up in Mississippi, well... teaching of evolution wasn't necessarily banned back in the 50's, but I'm sure it wasn't widespread in this state. She probably has very little knowledge of natural history, so I'm somewhat forgiving of her senility. It is a rather tremedous slipup, though.



Oh yeah, she didn't "intimidate" me. I didn't challenge the comment, because the discussion wasn't about science and we changed subject before I could say "No, at least 60 million..." anyway. As I said before, I'm not entirely certain she knows that the world is supposed to be 4 billion years old at all, or that dinosaurs went extinct 60 million years ago. Who knows, she may even think evolutionists believe the world is 7000 years old, if she even knows about evolution!
