Giant Noah’s Ark Attraction In Kentucky Features Caged Dinosaurs

That's pretty stupid I must admit. I'm a Christian who doesn't believe in evolution or old earth theories... But why the hell would Noah take dinosaurs onto the ark. Must be the dumbest idea I heard, and people like this give all Christians a bad image.

This is exactly why creationist theory isn't taken seriously by main stream science. People just think all creationists are stupid.

Creationism isn't taken seriously by mainstream science because:
1) It is unfalsifiable -- therefore it does not qualify as real science
2) It is untestable -- therefore it does not qualify as real science
3) It is contradicted by hundreds of thousands of observations in geology, paleontology, biology, and other scientific disciplines.

Plus, I find it interesting that you believe the most incredulous feature of this exhibit is the idea that Noah took dinosaurs onto a boat. It almost makes me think you're trolling. Please tell me you're trolling.

So if the earth is not old according to your views when did the dinosaurs live? Please provide an approximate age.

I distinctly remember riding a dinosaur outside the Sinclair station when I was about 7 years old.

Sounds about right. I miss the pet triceratops we had when I was a kid.

Last time I saw one was yesterday. It's also known as the mother-in-lawosauras.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus could anybody explain straw man? I'm soooo lost! I tried to understand this thread, now I'm confused.
Dinosaur discussion?

A straw man is a type of logical fallacy.

I pushed mine into the La Brea Tar Pits.

Well that particular comment you are responding to was just a little joke, but a strawman is when someone counters another person's argument by making up parts of the argument and attacking that. What we've been calling a strawman in this thread is the idea that universe came from nothing. The Big Bang theory doesn't say that at all, but religious people who don't believe it pretend it does. So they say, "something can't come from nothing, therefore the Big Bang isn't true". But that is a flawed argument because at no time was it mentioned that something came from nothing.

It's not so much an anti-creation thread.

It's more of a thread about how the constitution has been ignored and broken, funding laws have been ignored and broken, discrimination laws have been ignored and broken, how laws about tax exemption have been broken to make it easier for a non-profit organisation to make money from a for-profit business and how a non-profit organisation is running a for-profit business for a for-profit company.

Hopefully that clears it up some lol.

Didn't you see that documentary about those poor people trying to create a zoo for these creatures? Jurassic Park! That's the one.

I wish we had something like that here. I'm sure an accidental trip would be a good idea.

a reply to: TerryDon79 thanks makes sence.

My park will do better because I have Jesus and your tax money on my side.

Just don't employ Wayne Knight as your sole computer tech guy. Though I do recommend getting a Samuel L. Jackson for your head of security. Oh and maybe don't install your backup generator in the middle of a raptor pen.

Haven't my evil Masonic ways taught you anything? Improvise. Find a deep hole, scatter some twigs and leaves over it and leave a trail of bonbons leading up to it.

Or you could do what I did with my sister in law, drop a piano on her head and make it look like an accident.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

That's a very good point!

Her husband is very much into birds (finches). Maybe I could sneak over and train them all. Make it look like a scene out of Birds.

Brain juices are flowing.

Youve become too pessimistic thanks to ATS, I'm asking a question to understand, not ridicule it

There is no understanding. It isn't a real scientific position. It's just a silly way to try to discredit scientific notions without attempting to seriously think about them.

That's like stating that grass is purple then trying to hold an argument about what makes it purple. There is no where to go, because that isn't a real concept.

I just had to.
