Disgusting dinosaur distortions

Young earth creationists have been doing this for years and it’s still disgusting. Using the hook of “cool” dinosaurs to get kids to listen to and buy their fact-free stories is simply an egregious lie. Story: Dinosaurs coming to Jacksonville Bible class. This vacation bible school will feature eight life-sized dinosaur replicas.

Creation Truth teaches what it calls a biblically based explanation of the world’s creation. While scientists say their research points to mass extinction of dinosaurs 65 million years ago, Creation Truth puts dinosaurs and humans on the Earth at the same time, with dinosaurs wiped out by the flood described in the Book of Genesis.

The week of classes will also teach children about the human body, the solar system and Noah’s Ark.

What education or certification or training do these folks have that qualifies them to teach this stuff? And what gross errors and distortions will be passed along to the expected 1,400 attendees?

    It would be funny if it wasn’t so terribly stupid!!!

    What type of evidence would need to be produced to validate the claim man and dinosaurs lived together?

  3. JONATHAN SMITH says:

    Chris,
    I have the evidence that man and dinosaurs did live together sitting in my shed. Would you like to have a used triceratops saddle? Unfortunatly it can’t be used, as Noah forgot to include dinosaurs on the ark.

  4. chris says:

    JONATHAN, I happen to have a copy of the ship’s manifest and you might want to hold on to that saddle. There is no indication Noah forgot anything.

  5. JONATHAN SMITH says:

    Chris, really! you have the original, (can’t trust copies can we) manifest written 4360 years ago, wow it must be worth a fortune. Tell you what, I’ll swap it for my triceratops saddle. It would be a great deal for you as you seem more optimistic than I do about finding a live dinosaur.
    Oh,I forgot, you just have faith that your Intelligent designer could poof one into existence for you ex nihilo. At the same time perhaps you could ask why 99% of all of it’s designs have become extinct? On second thoughts maybe you shouldn’t mention that. Don’t want to risk getting that dinosaur do you.

  6. Chris says:

    JONATHAN, sorry it’s just a copy. I guess you’ll be keeping the saddle. If you wanted to use it to ride on one of the big lizards you might grab an alligator. They missed out on the mass extinction 65 million years ago.

    O goodness, I would think the number of extinct designs is much higher than 99%. Maybe 99.9999999999999% and growing by leaps and bounds every day. But you’ve got the wrong designer it’s the non intelligent one. See without all these unidentified, invisible, missing, imaginary creatures on the standard phylogenic tree you might be stuck with a much smaller number. But not to worry, artist and fabricators are making new ones all the time. I hear the Chinese are popping them out now, sound like it’s a good business ya know.

    Chris, Seems like we are both out of luck, my saddle only works for dinosaurs not crocodilians (different kinds) and your manifest copy must have changed so many times over the years is not worth the paper it’s written on. Plus I hate alligators; pesky things can adapt to all kinds of situations (cold, darkness, lack of fresh food). The designer must like them a lot to let them survive for so long. Not as much as it likes beetles of course, it’s obsessed with beetles, but that’s another story. Don’t be too hard on those Chinese, they don’t have your benefit of “knowing” the supernatural intelligent designer, they have to rely on natural science bless them.
