How does religion explain dinosaurs?
Perhaps the real culprit here is political correctness?
You tell me - you're the one trying to take it from religious groups.
I'll rephrase that. The "holy bible", most read religious script in the western world, does not include dinosaurs. Does anyone know why there is no mention of dinosaurs?
Because dinosaurs didn't exist when the bible was written.Why does it have to include dinosaurs anyway?
So Dinosaurs were created after the bible?
Christ mass = christmas = 1 (originally dec 25 was chosen as the date to celebrate Jesus' birth as the roman empire held a pagan festival on the same day.Easter is a recognition of the event in which Jesus died and then rose three days later. The egg was a pagan symbol that represented new life, and hence why it was adopted to represent the event surrounding Easter.And i never said Hannukkah was a Christian festival actually. My point remains: Public holidays established as a result of "religion" remains 4 as does score. -1 for limited "scientific" counter arguement though.
On 11 February 2007 hundreds of congregations from all portions of the country and a host of denominations will come together to discuss the compatibility of religion and science. For far too long, strident voices, in the name of Christianity, have been claiming that people must choose between religion and modern science. More than 10,000 Christian clergy have already signed The Clergy Letter demonstrating that this is a false dichotomy. Now, on the 198th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin, many of these leaders will bring this message to their congregations through sermons and/or discussion groups. Together, participating religious leaders will be making the statement that religion and science are not adversaries. And, together, they will be elevating the quality of the national debate on this topic.
We the undersigned, Christian clergy from many different traditions, believe that the timeless truths of the Bible and the discoveries of modern science may comfortably coexist. We believe that the theory of evolution is a foundational scientific truth, one that has stood up to rigorous scrutiny and upon which much of human knowledge and achievement rests. To reject this truth or to treat it as “one theory among others” is to deliberately embrace scientific ignorance and transmit such ignorance to our children. We believe that among God’s good gifts are human minds capable of critical thought and that the failure to fully employ this gift is a rejection of the will of our Creator. To argue that God’s loving plan of salvation for humanity precludes the full employment of the God-given faculty of reason is to attempt to limit God, an act of hubris. We urge school board members to preserve the integrity of the science curriculum by affirming the teaching of the theory of evolution as a core component of human knowledge. We ask that science remain science and that religion remain religion, two very different, but complementary, forms of truth.
oh and yesterday was Evolution Sunday http://www.butler.edu/clergyproject/rel_evol_sun2007.htm
besides this thread isn't about god. itsa bout tiny religious groups controlling government sectors and information thats available to the public.
I think it's more about the stupid American government, they mix up their politics and religion, thats where the problem is, they should be kept separate.
Because dinosaurs didn't exist when the bible was written.
Why does it have to include dinosaurs anyway?
