Where would we all be if we did not have crackpot COG leaders telling us what to believe and what not to believe? Why do they even think anyone cares what they think?
This brings us to our favorite crackpot prophet, the Great Bwana Bob Mzungu Thiel, the world's greatest storehouse of knowledge.
Yesterday, he had to weigh in on dinosaurs and whether children should be taught about them. Who cares what he thinks?
...yes there were dinosaurs before Adam and Eve.
God had dinosaurs go extinct before He created humans in Genesis 1:27.
One should not be afraid to teach children the truth about God’s creation, including dinosaurs.
The Bible is true and is not unscientific.
Yes, you can believe the Bible and teach your children from it, as well as answer questions about dinosaurs.
Were Dinosaurs Prior to Adam & Eve?
When did dinosaurs live? The ‘National Catholic Register’ had an article by Stacy Trasancos titled ‘What Do You Say When Kids Ask About Dinosaurs?’ She brought up some dangers with the ‘young earth creationists’ and stated that dinosaurs were prior to Adam and Eve. Yet, she basically said that the first few verses of Genesis 1 should not be trusted. Yet, that is not the case. Does the Bible support any type of time gap between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2? Is there a gap symbol shown in the Masoretic text? Did the KJV and NKJV translator err in translating a disjunctive as a conjunctive? Must the earth only be about 6,000 years old? Is billions of years possible? Getting to dinosaurs themselves, do the fossil records support them being prior to a time of replenishment? Could dinosaurs have been destroyed by a ‘dark ice age’ or does the Great Flood of Noah’s time make the most sense? Did the old Worldwide Church of God bring up several facts that ‘young earth fundamentalists’ misunderstand and discount? Is the Bible scientifically reliable? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more.

Dinosaurs are alive today... leading most of the major ACOG splinters!
Dr Bob Thiel is a scientist in the same way an astrologer is a cosmologist. Carol and I recently returned from the Royal Tyrell Museum of Paleontology in Alberta Canada. The Royal Tyrell is one of the largest and most prestigious fossil museums specializing in dinosaurs. The reason for this is that Alberta is a treasure trove of dinosaur fossil discoveries. Bob's views are pure nonsense and his need to make the mythologies of Genesis fit the actual science and history of the real world are beyond and almost willful ignorance. There was no literal Adam and Eve to be "before" or "after". It's a borrowed Sumerian Creation story given a Hebrew twist and any educated theologian knows this. Bob is far outside the boundaries of an educated theologian. His Sabbath School mentality is embarrassing and badly mistaken in its presentation and conclusions.
I wander: how may more bazillions of words than the 780,000+ words in the Bible are on Bob's website?
Dinosaurs exist today.
Any parliamentary democracy in the western world is fall of them lol.
And the Democrat party in the USA….even bigger lol.
On a serious note, did dinosaurs exist during the early years of man’s sojourn here on this planet?
George and the Dragon , the ancient Chinese legends about dragons, were they really alluding to dinosaurs but would only explain what they encountered by describing them as such. After watching Jurassic Park etc etc I am only glad they no longer exist, and hope we are not foolish enough to ‘recreate’ them in laboratories etc. As to Bob Thiel….Bob who?
