Default The great Flood or How God killed the dinosaurs

Found a scary article I thought I would share.

http://w114.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=27686

And more scary stuff !!!

Are these people for real I just don't buy the Ice-Age was 4 thousand years ago, and wooly mammoths and sabertooth tigers
were running around not too long ago.

Where are the Dinosaurs in the bible? Did G*d kill 'em and why are they running our country?

Up to now, a well-funded and insular community of evolutionary theorists have dominated the field of paleontology, directing most of the large dinosaur finds to research and museums committed to interpreting the fossil evidence through the faith-driven assumptions of evolution," said Phillips. "To have a dinosaur of this size and significance within the camp of scientists committed to the creation model is nothing short of a coup d'etat."


this has to be the best quote from the article. i hate how those damn atheists are always conspiring dominate the field of paleontology and the fields of common sense and logic. just wait for the flood part two, god is so going to drown all people who believe in "the faith-driven assumptions of evolution"


i think the saddest thing is that this guy is serious.

I just read the subject article (News of a nearly complete allosaur fossil by a homeschooler dad, while on a homeschooler fossil hunt in Skullcreek Basin. in NW Colorado.). It piqued my interest (actually it made me suspicious), so I searched "skullcreek" on the web. It turned up the referenced Creation Expeditions (sponsor of the hunt). On their website, I found a beautiful photo gallery labeled "Creation Expeditions Skull Creek 2002" I immediately recognized the site of these photos; they were taken at the visitor center of Dinosaur National Monument near Vernal UT!!!

Sensing a fraud or hoax, I began to dig deeper. I found another article about this "find" claiming that National Geographic Society claimed Skullcreek Basin was "one of the top 50...", so I went to NGS website and used their search engine (for: skullcreek basin, OR skull creek basin, OR skullcreek, OR skull creek). ALL of these searches produced ZERO matches. Why am I not surprised? Rather strange in light of the glowing reference, don't you think? Nor did web-wide searches on altavista, lycos, or google turn up anything except the subject article and an indian artifacts trading post (in Craig CO. Craig IS in NW CO, at the base of the eastern face of the range that features Steamboat Springs, and about a hundred miles east of Dinosaur National Monument) in response to any of the abovelisted skullcreek variables. Further searches of various archaeological sources also revealed nothing relating to a new allosaurus find in CO (or of ANY dinosaur finds in a place called Skullcreek Basin).

I have found that this is typical of the quality of "proof" creationist "finds" tend to yield. This find does nothing but keep the believers fooled a little longer.

I don't want to be pedantic or anything, but the bible doesn't suggest that any animals dinosaurs or otherwise were wiped out by the flood. In fact, it clearly states that all species survived the flood, every single one.

OK then I do want to be pedantic. Any extinctions must by definition have happened after the flood, according to the bible. The terrible post flood mass extinctions of species are obviously too trivial to record though, when compared to recording the trials and tribulations of one man and his tent.

Why WOULD dinosaurs be in the bible? I don't recall the Bible being about zoology. The dinosaurs fit in with the Genesis creation story and could have gone extinct long before Adam appeared.
