Only if you think the Bible is a historical document. The point is that the Bible neither proves nor disproves the existence of dinosaurs. The bible doesn't specifically mention Kangaroos but that doesn't mean they don't exist. The point of the bible is not to be a zoological reference work. It has religious value to those that abide by it's precepts. That's all. Stop trying to make it out to be more than it is. - whiteguysamurai, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Spinosaur is also considered an opportunistic/scanvenger predator because of it's facial structure, far too brittle to wrestle large prey.
So, for me the ceratosaur is still the most bad assed theropod around.
That is, if the utah raptor never existed. - Wamzlee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yes, I believe it was in Jurassic Park 3, I just watched it again a couple nights ago. Pretty bad movie haha, but entertaining.
- zeebo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Everybody knows the Calvinosaurus was the biggest carnivorous dinosaur.
As for the bible, Job is pretty ambiguous about what its describing, and the bible also claims (in Job) that the earth is flat and rests on pillars. Basically the bible is one damn big book, written over a very long time by a lot of different people. Therefore within it you can find justification of just about any belief you want to have. I think I'll continue to believe that bats are bugs, as I rate Calvin and Hobbes higher than the bible (which says they're birds).
As for what our grand kids will be telling us about science, Newton and Einstein and Hawking will continue to be mostly right, requiring only minor tweaks here and there. We'll probably find more evidence for evolution, although the big ones have probably been found already (DNA, fossil record, observed instances of speciation, etc). We may or may not find life elsewhere in the solar system. In other words, science will continue to expand our knowledge of the way things work, and will continue to evolve. - TheDirtySanchez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i don't know.... the whole god thing is a bit touchy, like ask someone that loves god this: can god make anything they will probably say yes then ask can god build anything and again they will say yes most likely then ask can god make a bolder that he cant lift? now there's a thinker. if he could make it than that proves that he cant do anything because he made it but couldn't lift it, but if he cant make it than that still proves that he cant do anything. anyways that's a cool ass Dino.
- drbroccoli, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Spinosaurus sounds like a carnival ride."
But the fan thing on its back would hurt your genitals. It's so cute though! I want to teach it to eat from my hands! - blankoboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Ok, enough with all the paleodrooling. When are we gonna be able to resurrect these awesome creatures!?
If you recall some Tyranosaurus Rex tissue remains were actually discovered recently when a group of scientists were excavating a site and had to break open the thigh bone. Does this mean they will be able to do John Hammond style Jurassic Park stuff....doubt it, but who knows?
Does anyone figure that they will be able to do so in our lifetime? If so, what dyno do you want to see first? Me, I want to see the Spino! - tw0bit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Thats what the whole movie Jurassic Park 3 was trying to show everybody... thats the only reason it was created
- Pas3n7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Am I the only one who thinks giganotosaurus sounds like it was named by a 10 year old?
- xodex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0blankoboy, I want to see a Plesiosaur :)
- shultzy055, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1You all need to recheck your bibles then, cause they do describe dinos in it. Job Chap 40

- yukevster, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Did god 'create' dinosaurs?
- chriswm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@screensnot
Hope you're being sarcastic. If not, then you're denying God's omniscience. God doesn't need to weed out anyone, He already knows who is for Him, and who is against Him.
@Lacrossedragon
Not only am I a Conservative Christian, but I'm also a firm believer in the truths revealed by science. I believe that science actually proves the existence of God. With the capability to see how intricately the universe is constructed through science, it's mind boggling to me that many scientists don't believe in God. - grendel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0the palentologist must be smart but given the "crafty" names of these dinosaurs, I bet 10 bucks their kids names are boy a & B
- sooperdooper, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Psh. Looks like *somebody's* never read Dinotopia.
- TransmitThis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0doyouthinkhesarus,
well always makes me smile... - chriswm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Two problems with that lead:
1. Science doesn't actually "know" what any dinosaur looked like (however we do know they existed)
2. Unfortunately because of 1, we can only imagine and guess what they were like. That's the precise reason why scientists often find "new" dinosaurs, and discard old theories. - vernsan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The bible is a story that was believed to be true. End to it, just my thought.
- anizzle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0OMG those things were huge, Argentinasaurus was 100 tons...geez imagine that!!
I love stuff like this (I know I live a sad life), I'd dig it 2wice if I could! - Zeusandhera, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Spinosaurus sounds like a carnival ride.
- budderfly, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Spinosaur is also considered an opportunistic/scanvenger predator because of it's facial structure, far too brittle to wrestle large prey.
I thought it caught big fish...? - xjewishcorex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0was that the dinosaur in Jurassic Park 3?
- oepapel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Anyone ever take the second to think that all scientists do experiments. when engineers build a new car, they test it with dummies. if we were really the chosen beings created by God, why could the dinosaurs have not been the testing grounds for this planet. Allowing God to verify that everything was working properly. "
God is not a scientist because a scientist is on a quest to determine the nature of the universe. God already knows the nature of the universe (or else he wasn't really God in the first place!) Science is about learning. God is omniscient so therefore already knows. Also, why would God, who created the ENTIRE UNIVERSE, need a testing ground for something as trivial as a planet?
"Heck maybe he was bored after creating this crazy world... they gave him something to do while the planet was still settling. "
Again, why would God get bored if has an infinite control over space, time, and imagination? And even if he did get bored, why would he leave the remnants of his boredom just laying around? Why not use another planet? Why not erase them from existence after he was done with them? Why not create a new plane of existence and then wipe THAT out when he was done?
Your ideas don't fit with the idea of an omnipotent and omniscient God.
Oh, and the behemoth ate grass as an ox. That doesn't mean he WAS an ox, just that he ate grass like one. - cheese06, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0yo dat dinosaur is GNARLY!
king kong aint got ***** on the spinosaurus. - NoThnMoreAB, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0but the words "which i made with thee" do imply a timeline.
- floejoe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I always said Rex was a pussy. Now there is a handy graphic that goes along with it to prove it.
I'm more of a Brontosaurus guy, but the ones from Land Before Time, they totally kick ass and could easily beat off a T-Rex with its tail. - permaximus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Job actually speaks of two dinosaurs, but I wouldn't expect any evolutionist to check out the "competition." The Bible has lots of nifty science bits, like saying the earth is spherical (Isa 40:22). Its interesting to see how science is ever changing and the Bible is constant through time. Imagine what our grand kids will be telling us about science.
- gtojack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Maybe the biggest carnivorous dinosaur... but not the biggest carnivore.
A Blue Whale eats krill - a type of shrimp. Shrimp are animals. Therefore the Blue Whale is a carnivore. And at 120ft and 190 tonnes, it is the biggest.
Since marine fossils do not preserve very well, we can only speculate at what other, potentially larger, marine predators existed. - domusvita, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Tyrannosaurus rex may be smaller, but he's got spunk.
- permaximus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I have never seen an Ox with a "tail as a cedar." It helps NOT to take statements out of context.
- screensnot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@ chriswm
I was both being sarcastic and denying God's omniscience. - Henge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0And I thought Jurassic Park 3 had just made the ***** up. If you've seen that movie, you'd know that there was a showdown between a T.Rex and the Spinosaurus. Long story short, the spinosaurus snapped the neck of the T. Rex. SPINOSAURUS RULES!
- oepapel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Yeah, and that's certainly rock hard evidence of the existance of Dinosaurs in the bible. For all we know that could mean Fran Drescher."
Read on and you'll see that I said...
"The point is that the Bible neither proves nor disproves the existence of dinosaurs. " - oepapel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0You mean, Dinosaur History Rewritten .... again!
Dinosaur History has been rewritten many times since I was a kid. Everything we learned about dinosaurs cam directly from the flintstones so we learned about the Brontosaurus (a crane), the Stegasaurus (a bus), the Pteradactyl (a plane), the Mammoth (the shower) and the ancient pelican that could mix cement in his beak ( awwwwk! It's a living! awwwk! ). I don't know what Dino was...
Thanks Hanna-Barbara for screwing up history. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Oh, and the behemoth ate grass as an ox. That doesn't mean he WAS an ox, just that he ate grass like one."
Yeah, and that's certainly rock hard evidence of the existance of Dinosaurs in the bible. For all we know that could mean Fran Drescher. - oepapel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"What bugs me is how they call this history being re-written.
Theorys and conceptual renderings do not = truth or fact."
Then you must have a problem with ALL History since it is biased (written by the victor), incomplete (records are usually incomplete or extrapolated), and indirect (interpreted many years later by a person far removed from the incident). History relies upon conjecture, theory and debate. Rarely are facts NOT in dispute. History books have been rewritten my entire life multiple times to correct errors, omissions and new findings. This "History" is as good a History as any other. Voltaire is indeed correct because History is, by necessity, a story. - NoThnMoreAB, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0You all need to recheck your bibles then, cause they do describe dinos in it. Job Chap 40

-- it says " Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox."
that says OX right... how in the H*LY H*LL is that a dinosaur? argh. btw that is from the King James Version.
Anyone ever take the second to think that all scientists do experiments. when engineers build a new car, they test it with dummies. if we were really the chosen beings created by God, why could the dinosaurs have not been the testing grounds for this planet. Allowing God to verify that everything was working properly. Heck maybe he was bored after creating this crazy world... they gave him something to do while the planet was still settling.
I say the dinosaurs were like crash test dummies for this planet. as well as tests of how large to make creatures, how many legs should they have, best shape, scales or no scales, etc. etc. why does this topic piss so many people off! You've got to think that God has a sence of humor! if he didn't, then why would we? - sofa0ne, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0What bugs me is how they call this history being re-written.
Theorys and conceptual renderings do not = truth or fact.
I guess Voltaire was right when he said; "History is the lie commonly agreed upon"
... - estacado, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0These dino experts are trying to visualise dino history based based on what they find in their digs. But what they find, is a very very very very very very very very small percentage of what actually existed during that time. Whatever hiSTORY they came up with is very very very very very inaccurate at best.
- jmdajr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I need to see Jurassic Park 3 again
- Darkshine, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Uh, I thought the Gigantisaurus was the biggest dinosaur.
http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/dinosaurs/dinos/Giganotosaurus.html - GodPants, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Dudes - this is all silly. According to my bible here dinosaurs never existed - this is the work of the devil. There aren't any dinosaurs in the bible. Teh devils work I tell ya'. The devils work.
Mathew 10 verse 5 Chapter 6 line 4 - " And the lord sayeth unto me. Go and make merry and have 108 childrens and populate the lands as far as you can see and vote republicaneth but remember this one thingeth. If you should findeth some old bones in the ground they are the devils work. Beware the demon Darwineth for he is alwayth looking for new souls."
hehehe - screensnot, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Dinosaurs never inhabited the planet. God created fossils for us to find. He did this to test us. He wants to weed out the ones with weak faith.
- Lacrossedragon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0"Dudes - this is all silly. According to my bible here dinosaurs never existed"
You're Bibles wrong....
Yes I could tell that was sarcasm... But honestly how the hell do people not believe in dinos? I hate conservatives... - Darkshine, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Oh wait the article pwnd my comment
- chris.kelvie, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0I'd trade my dog for that any day.
