Dinosaur Skull Found in Church Wall

All I can say is....HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Thus PROVING that Dinosaurs and Man lived together

Take that, Virgin Mary in a toasted cheese sandwich.

" our father who RAAAAAAAWWWWWWRRRRRRR"

Catholicism is probably the most accepting of Evolution, and I'm sure they have known about it for a while. Just don't show this to Ken Ham and other Young Earthers, because then you will really start to hear some crazy shiz.

The book of Job talks of dinosaurs and men, have a look.

who says God has no sense of humor

The book of Job does mention a "behemoth", however it could just as easily be describing a rhino or a hippo (both are known to have existed at the same time as man). Jumping to the conclusion that is a dinoaur and then saying that humans and dinosaurs co-existed is silly.

As for the bible and dinosaurs, there are a couple of other mentions (That could just as easily describe some other modern day animals), but if dinosaurs and man co-existed and if the bible is a complete history of man on this planet up until about a couple of thousand years ago then the book should be filled with dinosaur references. However, it is not. Dinosaurs would have made a very huge impact on the lives of humans. The predators, the ones we would have hunted, the scavengers, the ones that would have been domesticated, the use of dino droppings as fertilizer, the use of dinosaur parts in various rituals, the stealing of eggs, the raising of dinosaurs, and tons of other things that would have happened if dinos and humans coexisted are not described in the bible. The bible spends a lot of time describing a lot of other mundane things. However, it does not describe any real human/dinosaur interaction. There is no way around it, the bible does not describe a world at any point where humans and dinosaurs coexisted.

@AMercer

But using that logic, the Bible doesn't describe a world where kangaroos and humans existed at the same time. Therefore, kangaroos did not exist in Biblical times.

Do they actually find dinosaurs regularly in marble? It seems s little far-fetched.

@ted

I doubt many of the people featured in the Bible, or its writers, ever went to Australia to see these kangaroos.

Ah, I looked at the article, which says the rocks is fossil-bearing from the late Jurassic, so it's a possibility it may not be an example of dinosaur pareidolia.

@corpse
That's kind of my point. The Bible is not meant to be a zoological compendium. Simply because an animal is not mentioned in the Bible, doesn't mean it can't have existed during Biblical times. We require stronger proof than that to disprove someone with the "dinosaurs were mentioned in Job" delusion.

good use of ur +1 sword of internetting, sir.

Can't really use the argument that Satan put them there to deceive us, I mean, I thought he wasn't allowed in churches. He'd burn up or something, right?

Didn't Job come after the flood that killed the dinosaurs?

That dinosaurs existed or not is irrelevant to the point of the bible. The point of the book is man's redemption and reconciliation to God and God's supremacy over all things. Instead of disputing if dinosaurs existed and if they coexisted with man, the more appropriate question in my opinion is what do dinosaurs, catfish, or sea turtles have to do with God giving us knowledge of who he is and who we are in relation to him? People spend way too much time thinking about ancilary issues and not enough time focusing on the central issue of the presence, power, and supremacy of God. The presence or absence of evolution or extinct beasts is only a smokescreen to avoid dealing the fundamentally depraved heart of man. Can someone tell me what dinosaurs have to do with THAT?
