Hicks, On Dinosaurs..."You know the world's 12 thousand years old and dinosaurs existed, they existed in that time, you'd think it would have been mentioned in the f^cking Bible at some point. "And lo Jesus and the disciples walked to Nazareth. But the trail was blocked by a giant brontosaurus... with a splinter in his paw. And O the disciples did run a shriekin': 'What a big f^cking lizard, Lord!' But Jesus was unafraid and he took the splinter from the brontosaurus's paw and the big lizard became his friend. And Jesus sent him to Scotland where he lived in a loch for O so many years inviting thousands of American tourists to bring their fat f^cking families and their fat dollar bills.And oh Scotland did praise the Lord. Thank you Lord, thank you Lord. Thank you Lord." "Get this, I actually asked one of these guys, OK, Dinosaurs fossils - how does that fit into you scheme of life? Let me sit down and strap in. He said, "Dinosaur fossils? God put those there to test our faith." I think God put you here to test my faith, Dude. You believe that? "uh huh." Does that trouble anyone here? The idea that God.. might be.. f^ckin' with our heads? I have trouble sleeping with that knowledge. Some prankster God running around: "Hu hu ho. We will see who believes in me now, ha ha." [mimes God burying fossils] "I am God, I am a prankster." "I am killing Me."

Oct 22nd has another interesting religious significance. It was on that day in 1844 (160 years ago) that William Miller, an American Baptist preacher with tens of thousands of followers, predicted Christ would return to the earth. Miller had been wrong in his complicated caluclations before, but when he and his assembled followers failed to "meet the bridegroom" as midnight came and went, they suffered what was known as "The Great Disappointment."Miller's movement lost many members, but many stayed faithful, eventually giving rise to the "Seventh Day Adventists." Ever since I heard this story, I've been amused by the thought of October 23rd as "The Great Disappointment," since that day--today in fact--is my birthday. And happy belated birthday to skdadl.

Silly Hicks!Dinosaurs died out after the flood, before which all animals were vegetarian and lived together in harmony. They were long gone by the time Jesus came around. 
Since kids are fascinated by dinosaurs, there are actually quite a few creationist dinosaur sites around. This one really tries hard. If you didn't know better, you might believe it.

The picture of Adam with the dinosaur was a nice touch. How did that get left out of Genesis, though? Specifically, I mean the part where the velociraptors, attracted by Adam and Eve's movements, slashed through their pathetically soft pink abdomens with their large, hook-like claws, and proceeded to noisily feast on their entrails? How did that get left out?

Simple. They were vegetarians, as were all the animals in the garden of Eden. If you're going to allow yourself to believe in Adam and Eve, then vegan velociraptors are hardly any more of a stretch than vegan lions and grizzly bears

There were plenty of vegan dinosaurs. That's who the carnivorous ones ate.However the vegans tended to be the REALLY big ones. One of the criteria for being a house is usually being somewhat smaller than a house. There were some that were only about a metre long though.
