Subject: RE: BS: No Dinos in the bible? wtf....
The reason there are no dinosaurs in the darned Bible is because the guys who wrote the Bible were farmers who had no concept of fossils, the length of Earth's eons or anything related there to. They measured time in seasons, generations, and dates-since-catastrophes, but not much more. They had no sense of elements, such as carbon, and its variants such as Carbon-14, or how to measure such a length of time as a thousand years, except conceivably as a long list of grandparents. They were great poets, at times, and wonderful givers of advice, by why expect them to invent lasers or archaeology?

There is also no mention of puffins in the darned Bible, nor of aerodynamic foil curves and their use in making flying machines, nor of the rate of acceleration of gravity, the chemistry of stainless steel, the frequencies of color, nor the number of planets in the solar system or the nature of remote clusters, quasars, or other galaxies.

Some of us have learned some things since, however. No sense standing on your head about it.
