I'm alittle late to this discussion so here's what I think.
1) the existance of Dinosaurs has no relation to the Bible being flawed. One point of view held by Christians is that dinosaurs lived along side man. If this is true so what? The bible doesn't explicitly mention every animal in creation. "The Bible never mentions peacocks, yet peacocks are known to exist - therefore the bible is flawed" - obviously this thought is ridiculous. Besides, like lyric mentioned, some verses (besides the dragon reference George mentioned) could possibly be talking about dinos. (somewhere in Job I think)
Another view held by some Christians is that the earth is really really old and dinos were extinct long before man came. This view is called 'Old Earth' by many christians and allows room for some of the scientific(?) views held by many. If this was the case then the bible wouldn't mention them of course, because they weren't around. Remember, eventhough the Bible is the inspired word of God, it is still INSPIRED, meaning that men wrote it according to what they knew at the time. The meanings remain the same.
2) Adam and Eve and cavemen? Umm... where is the flaw? Adam and Eve were Neanderthals. Nowhere, to my recollection, does the bible mention Adam and Eve writing anything. They did communicate but i'm sure it wasn't through the complex language skills we have today. I'm still confused as to what the flaw is here. |
