Why did Satan create Dinosaur fossils?

[oneighty]

I did a Google search but could not find the answer. The most promising web site is taking too many hits and I cannot get in.
Sigh.

1. Same reason

God made precious diamonds (which usually take millions of years to form) and star light (which usually takes billions of years to reach Earth)....

TO TRICK US!!!

[SoCalDem]

2. You silly..

He did that when he killed Jesus' pet dinosaur..

You remember him, don't you. Methusasaurus

[Seldona]

41. rofl

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. According to my friend's teacher, who was a nun,

they were created to trick us and test our faith.

[ogminlo]

4. To test our faith

in what the Hebrew politicians who wrote the Pentatauch made up about the age of the earth.

[KayLaw]

5. I don't know quite what you mean

The way it was explained to me, it was God who created the fossils, to test us - sort out the believers from the nonbelievers. What, are you saying you doubt that?:crazy:

[ThoughtCriminal]

8. Maybe fundamentalism

is God's plan to sort out thinkers and fools.

[oneighty]

9. I doubt nothing KayLaw.

I ask the question with open mind, seeking the truth.

6. Most dinosaurs died in the flood

A few survived for a time until they were killed off by big game hunters also known as dragon slayers. A few brontosaurus still might survive in the swamps of Africa though.

[oneighty]

16. Yes, I saw a movie

which showed the existence of them in Africa. Name of the movie escapes me at the moment. Nope! Not "King Kong." (Babe?)

45. Whoever did that did beautiful work!

It's a sculpture, that much is obvious. But it's just so beautiful! The detail, the attention to everything.

[earthman dave]

7. That's a heresy, IIRC

Ascribing the power of creation to satan? You'll burn for that. :)

[MikeG]

10. That does it, I'm telling God what you said.

[Terwilliger]

11. LOL

I like that one :hi:

[mmm]

12. Because God is a prankster God!

he he he

[buddhamama]

13. to test your faith

that wily Satan.

or maybe is was god who created them to test faith but Satan has taken the credit...

14. How is it Dinosaur fossils

test my faith Ms. Buddhamama? What is the Great Buddha's opinion on the subject? Does Buddha even have an opinion?

[buddhamama]

21. if i claim to have

the answers to your questions ignore me, it is a sure sign that i don't.

speaking strictly on the faith issue
imo, the Dinosaur fossils don't really test your faith in god but rather, do you accept the Bible in its literal form.

[Bucky]

15. When she was 7 my daughter invented the Creationistsaurus

She was into talking dinosaur movies at the time and speculated that there might be a Creationist-saurus who went around saying things like "I don't exist".

[Rabrrrrrr]

18. LOL

That's great!

19. A wise child

your seven year old daughter is Bucky. She is an explorer.

17. For the same reason he created egg laying mammals

He was stoned out of his mind!

Which begs another question. Why did god make marijuana?

[Gadave]

20. So he could get stones out of his mind.

DUH

[ProudGerman]

22. Ok, another question

How much reefer must the big guy smoke to get stoned? And, which method does he prefer, joint, bong, or bowl? Or does god smoke blunts?

[Exultant Democracy]

39. He smokes joints, of course

and He is a one hit wonder.

"Zeus damn, this shit is good."

[oneighty]

23. Why did God make marijuana?

To test our resolve? Hey I do not know, really I do not.

We do not understand God's purpose. She plays interesting games with us, her children.

180

[buddhamama]

24. yeah but,

if she created it, doesn't that mean we should learn to live in harmony with it? :smoke:

[MikeG]

26. So if God loses his short term memory from smoking

reefer, how long is that in human time?

[buddhamama]

27. good question. that is why there is much strife, god has forgotten us

[MikeG]

28. I wonder if God gets the munchies from the reefer.

[buddhamama]

29. of course.

duh. what do think happened to the dinosaurs?

she's been known to over indulge.

[SoCalDem]

31. Jesus smoked

[MikeG]

33. Let he who is completely without sin light the first spliff.

[Nikia]

30. In seriousness, marijuana is a gift from God

Alright, this thread is not supposed to be serious. It isn't about marijuana either though.
I believe marijuana is a very good plant for our recreation, healing, spirituality, and person to person bonding. Its close relative, which it may have been one in the same with not to long ago, hemp also has many uses that could help save the environment.
I think that someone should start a new thread about this though if they want to expand on this point.

[oneighty]

32. This thread is not supposed to be serious?

Of course it is serious. Why do you say (think) that it is not serious?

[JitterbugPerfume]

44. Ed, I think

you try to pull our leg---- I think

besides you see dinosaurs clear as anything on The Flintstones They were kinda like prehistoric puppy dogs

[northzax]

25. first off, Satan cannot create anything

so you have that part wrong. the reason the Big Guy created Dinosaur fossils is simple. Once, as a kid, Jesus was really interested in Dinosaurs, and God, loving father that he was, created fossils to entertain him. Duh.

now, the big question is how did Jesus get fascinated by dinosaurs as a wee lad when they didn't exist until he thought of them? that's the real mystery.

[H2O Man]

34. how about Barney?

Is that divine punishment?

[rasputin1952]

36. I decided that this needed a theological POV...

so I went to Genesis.

Skip to Adam and Eve/Cain and Abel. Cain killed Abel, blood line gone; Therefore I am not here, and neither are any of you. The joy of Fundamentalist thought....We don't exist!

O8)

[northzax]

42. even better, since there were no priests/ministers to marry

Adam and Eve, we're all illegitimate!

[ironflange]

37. What about Oscar?

Where the hell did that thing come from?

[greatauntoftriplets]

38. Not sure if this is a regional thing, but....

When I was a kid back in the 1950s, Sinclair gas stations' mascot was Dino the dinosaur. Your post made me think of that. As a child, I thought it was kind of a cutesy thing. Never knew where gas come from at the time. Or babies, for that matter, I was that young.

[peekaloo]

40. In Florida, in the Sixties, you could get a Dino bank with every fill up!

Satan used to steal my quarters! :cry:

[Hokie]

43. Just too..

screw with the creationists. God, hates them too.

:evilgrin:
