<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now that my sister blog is all set up, I can now work on doing rebuttal essays and post them on the site such as what a rebuttal I'm doing here to <a href="http://www.genesispark.com/">Genesis Park</a>, a wacky site operated by a staunch creationist named Dave Woetzel, one of Kent Hovind's cronies who shows off scores of hoaxes, legends, forgeries, and fictional nations to prove his young earth idiocy.</p>
<p>Both Genesis Park and <a href="http://www.s8int.com/">its sister site</a> are the very best examples of just how creationists don’t have a single clue to what a dinosaur or its contemporary really look like and how they are really structurally built based on modern studies on their bone structure. Admittedly, in the past, I would get upset and cry over the artwork and artifacts that allegedly depict dinosaurs as if they are there to destroy my long held belief that dinosaurs lived and died long before humans came along. Yet, I knew all along that looks can be highly deceiving. Creationists deceptively show images and artifacts depicting monster-like mythical creatures they claimed to be real, authentic dinosaurs because of their dinosaur-like shape and compare them to various conceptions of dinosaur all made artisans who never for once saw a live dinosaur in hopes of matching the monster with an artist’s conception of the dinosaur. The problem with this flawed logic is that no two conceptions are alike. Each conception of a dinosaur completely differs from the other. How do they know if that’s what the monster really looks like? Answer: They don’t. Other than birds, no one, prehistoric, ancient, and modern, has ever saw a living dinosaur. What they made is all just conceptions of what the dinosaur <em>might</em> have looked like when they were alive based on what scientists have unearthed, studied, and learned about. These conceptions may, in all cases, be completely inaccurate and outdated even by a few years as more fossil discoveries are made that cause scientists to rethink what they believed dinosaurs may have looked like in the past. Therefore, what creationists do to prove their fallacy, by comparing alleged ancient artifacts with modern conceptions of dinosaurs all made by 20<sup>th</sup> century artists, is completely unreliable and totally worthless. Especially since these alleged artifacts they show <em>do not</em> resemble any dinosaur and Mesozoic contemporary whatsoever.</p>
<p>Here is a blogroll containing parts of my rebuttal essays to the claims put on by Woetzel. It's not finished yet, but still it has lots of stuff to keep you all informed of what Woetzel has on his site. I'll update this post when I have another part of the essay completed and posted on my sister site.</p>

<img src="http://media.bpsdb.org/bpsdb_02s.png" alt="BPSDB" width="125" height="93" align="left" /></a><strong>Reposted from <a href="http://dinocreationistsfairytale.wordpress.com/2007/11/25/dino-den-the-worst-dinosaur-exhibit-ever/">my sister blog</a> and revised</strong>-- There's a 2-floor section that's been opened at Ham’s Crackhouse since July 4th of last year to accompany <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bluefork/515031352/sizes/l/in/set-72157600269342444/">the Jurassic Park Dinosaur knock-offs</a> that litter many parts of the crackhouse. Known as <a href="http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/2007/07/10/dinos-in-the-den">Dino  Den</a>, this section, just like the junkstore next to it, the outside area of the crackhouse, and the walkthrough entrance way in the main lobby, is littered with several dinosaur and pterosaur models that are wrongly inaccurate and unrealistically made (i.e. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chippa/1852020203/sizes/o/in/set-72157602896409296/">no hair and tiny teeth on a pteranodon</a>, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bluefork/515020377/sizes/l/in/set-72157600269342444/">dromaeosaurs with unbird-like appearance</a> bearing <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/greenfrog808/2047959241/in/photostream/">no coating of feathers on their bodies</a>, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mimi_merlot/2176947416/">Allosaurus-like dinosaur wrongly shown to walk on 4 legs instead of two</a>, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/greenfrog808/2049003774/sizes/l/">incorrect scale patterns on an Iguanodon</a>, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bluefork/515077439/sizes/l/in/set-72157600269342444/">Baryonyx grossly portrayed erroneously as a 4 legged wingless dragon</a> with dog ears, additional horns on its head, spikes jutting all over its back, and a tail ending with an arrow tip, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bluefork/511763518/sizes/l/">Tyrannosaurs in the outside forested area shown in a classic yet now-incorrect upright, tail-dragging pose</a>; <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/greenfrog808/2047972237/">the tyrannosaur in the Dino Den section shown to have wrinkle skin and a wrong-shaped head</a>, etc.) as if they’re 3D versions of amateur dinosaur drawings made for a small children's book, including a few models of <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chippa/1852640050/">baby Triceratops dinosaurs with blankets and saddles on their backs</a> you could've sworn these is all the result of Buddy Davis, one of Ham's cronies who's made these models, getting his "inspiration" for these models from James Gurney's fantasy series <em>Dinotopia</em>-- hard core evidence of where creationists ever got their ideas and "inspirations" for their pseudo-bible histories from, science fiction and fantasy books. Science fiction beget science fiction and Science fiction beget religious cults including Scientology and young earthism.</p>
<p>Both rooms, the section and the junkstore, is set with a very unrealistic Medieval background. In <a href="http://blogs.answersingenesis.org/aroundtheworld/2007/07/05/dinosaur-independence-day-at-the-creation-museum/">his  own bogus blog</a>, Ham, in his own sick, delusional mind claims,</p>
<p><em>"Dinosaurs received their “independence” at the Creation Museum on July 4. Instead of being captured by evolutionists, they have been released to be able to have their “freedom,” as explained in a biblical context—which is the correct way to explain their history."</em></p>
<p>You call that independence? You called that freedom? How are evolutionists capturing the dinosaurs, Ham? Or is it just another one of your stupid, empty-headed declarations of ignorance, denial, and distortions of biblical context that promotes no freedom and no correct ways of explaining any history let alone dinosaur history that's entirely all made up to just rally your fool-hearted followers into believing all your stupid lies?</p>
<p><span class="fullpost">The dinosaur and pterosaur models dotting Dino Den and the junkstore, shown on flickr and on Ham’s bogus blog, are made by Buddy Davis who’s notorious for claiming to have allegedly found “fresh” unfossilized dinosaur remains in Alaska <a href="http://laelaps.wordpress.com/2007/01/29/aig-unfossilized-bones-and-the-lies-therein/">that  were really fossilized after all</a>. The exhibit also claims to have “real” fossil bones and eggs of dinosaurs shown along with the models. But are they really real, or are they just faked, cast versions of fossil eggs and bones made to look real? Knowing their blatant dishonesty in what they claimed about, I’d say the fossils shown at the exhibit are all fakes in which some are forged from Buddy’s studio and made to make it as if they are real while it’s not. </span></p>
<p>Other dinosaur models, which in many cases are animatronic robots shown in other parts of the crackhouse, also in very unrealistic settings, such as <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dt10111/2113611144/sizes/l/">a wall of a city</a> are just <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chippa/1852739426/sizes/l/">knock-off versions of <em>Jurassic Park</em></a> dinosaurs made by a man who formerly works for Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida.</p>
<p>The exhibit is said to also contain a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/greenfrog808/2047960243/">badly built cast skeleton of a Triceratops</a> that’s not as accurate as the real skeletal mounts of Triceratops as shown in real museums based on the latest studies on the dinosaur’s bone structure. The mount, <a href="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b18/Crazyharp81602/251-5135_img.jpg">as  shown in Ham’s crackhouse</a>, is built to portray Triceratops in an old  fashioned pose while modern reconstructions of Triceratops shows a <a href="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b18/Crazyharp81602/triceratops_skeleton.jpg">more  accurate dynamic pose</a> based on modern studies of the anatomy of this  three-horned dinosaur.</p>
<p>The exhibit will also feature videos and a theater where tourists can go in and see a 12 minute film promoting the dragon/dinosaur fallacy which <a href="http://dinocreationistsfairytale.wordpress.com/2006/11/25/book-rebuttal-the-great-dinosaur-mystery-and-the-bible-part-3/">I’ve  shown to you all to be nothing more than fabrications</a> creationists have rigged up by taking ancient literature out of context and twist them to fit their "baby earth" perspective and to make it as if they are accounts of people meeting live dinosaurs instead of what they really are. Then, the tourists will be escorted to the junkstore, the so-called “dragon bookstore” unrealistically resembling a castle reading room where dotting the area are unrealistically made pterosaur models and a Baryonyx that isn't and scores of crappy junk being sold at, including a book that targets young children entitled, <a href="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/51T45FVDWXL._SS500_.jpg">It’s  Designed To Do What It Does Do</a>, which is also made up by Davis (Based on one of his idiot songs, no doubt.) who along with Ham has made this book up to compete against <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Little-Dinosaurs-Picture-Book-Wiggle/dp/0939251744/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-9128004-0462208?ie=UTF8&#38;s=books&#38;qid=1184189209&#38;sr=8-1">Ten  Little Dinosaurs</a> and other toddler-style wiggly eye books for the minds of little toddlers, who are extremely vulnerable to be exposed at by even the most dangerous and venomous of lies ever spew out in front of their faces by Davis and Ham’s’ fairy tale literature.</p>
<p>It’s without doubt all made up to take advantage of both the huge popularity of dinosaurs and the people (mainly children) who love dinosaurs deeply and plan to use such models to proselytize people especially children into believing all their stupid lies, pseudo-histories, pseudo-bible stories, pseudo-Christianity, and empty fantasies creationists made up about dinosaurs for their own criminal ends. Thus, Dino Den is, without doubt, <strong>the worst dinosaur exhibit ever.</strong></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is <a href="http://bluecollarscientist.com/2008/03/31/innocent-victims-of-creationist-fangs/">a big buzz</a> going on over the ordeal of those who are advocates of evolution being persecuted by creationists who, whenever they are exposed to be rightfully wrong on everything they claim about from human evolution to dinosaurs, whiningly claims they are persecuted by the very same people creationists are persecuting themselves-- evolutionists, men and women who says "&#38;*$% off and die, creationists!" in one way or another, only to find themselves being lashed out by creationists who wants to do whatever it takes to dispose of them, whether it's firing them or worse killing them. Like I said in my past articles, give them a chance and the creationists will ultimately become one of the most dangerous people on earth no different than the Taliban, Al'Qaeda, and other forms of religious extremists. On <a href="http://pandasthumb.org/archives/2008/03/expelled-the-un.html">The Panda's Thumb</a>, there is a latest in creationist persecution of evolutionists where Nancey Murphy, member of the Fuller Theological Seminary, faced persecution from the ID creationists all because she says that intelligent design is not only poor theology but,</p>
<p><em>"so stupid, I don’t want to give them my time.”</em></p>
<p>You go, girl!</p>
<p>This remark prompted the creationists to consider firing her for that truthful remark. They simply don't want their lies exposed, not to mention themselves be exposed for who they really are, dangerous criminals, compulsive liars, and religious zealots who will stop at nothing to achieve power and glory for themselves. When they say that they are being persecuted by evolutionists because of their beliefs, they are really faking "persecution" as a cop out for their own misbehavior, their own wrong-doing, their own sins, and their own lies.</p>

<img src="http://media.bpsdb.org/bpsdb_01s.png" alt="BPSDB" width="125" height="93" align="left" /></a>Anyone who's familiar with young earth dogma knows that one of the tactics they carry out to deceive their lay audience is to present 2 different "points of view." In Ken's crackhouse, you will find <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/woodmania/756884856/">a plaque</a> that  reads, <em>"Same Facts, but Different Views. Why?"</em> along with other plaques that presents in Ham's eyes the difference between "Human Reason" and "God's Word." To tell you the truth, any word coming from the mouth of every young earther, including Ham, is disguised as "God's Word". Everything Ham and other creationists made up from their heads is falsely claimed to have come from "The Word of God".</p>
<p>Everything never found in the Bible to begin with concerning science and Natural History is what Ham and other creationists falsely claim to be "God's Word." One must wonder why do they call truth just mere "Human Reason" and the falsehoods they advocate "God's Word?" Because it's done out of ignorance of empirical evidence supporting "Human Reason" so falsely called. Also this is the only way for creationists to win followers and to keep them in line. There can be without doubt that God's Word is precisely what Ham and all other young earth creationists have filled their creation "museums" with; God's Word is <strong>Their Word</strong> in disguise. Everything  else outside Their Word is "Human Reason."</p>
<p>Every plaque, displays, and exhibits in Ham's crackhouse all have "Human Reason" written all over it. In fact Creation and thousands of years, <strong>IS</strong> Human Reason.  Human Reason made out of blatant ignorance of the real Biblical and scientific evidence that clearly rejects Ham's idiot views and stupid lies. Even moral society rejects Ham's views; every motive made to impose atrocities upon the innocent has zero to do with evolution and "millions of years" and everything to do with financial and relationship problems, imposing of sexual lust and desires upon others, greed for power, wealth, and control, jealousy, forceful imposing of religious fanaticism on others, superiority, favoritism, and abuse.</p>
<p>Creationists will try to present 2 "point of view" and treat anything other than their own dogma as mere "opinions" and/or "theory." They will ask, "Is that a theory?" or "Is that your opinion" upon hearing the facts which debunks their dogma just to simply tip people off and to catch people like me off guard. This what is shown in every creationist crackhouse and every form of creationist propaganda is the very best example of creationism being just a one sided issue, with creationists presenting <strong>only one</strong> side of the issue-- their own-- and skilfully direct, beguile, and manipulate the people into seeing only their side of the issue, never to give the other side a chance to present their case before the lay audience.</p>
<p>I had such an experience in my church years ago when I was struggling with this satanic dogma and I was curious to know who invented this stuff (At that time, I didn't know that young earth creationism was the invention Ellen G. White, founder of The Seventh Day Adventist movement. Everywhere you see in young earth creationism all echo the teachings of Ellen White and her SDA cult. None of it are the original doctrine of the Church Forefathers.). However, it turned out to be my mistake of barking up the wrong tree and going to ask my pastor about who invented creationism and the concept of a young earth in the first place. When I told him about the alleged tracks in Glen Rose Texas and how the supposed human prints are in fact poorly preserved dinosaur prints, he asked me, "Is that your theory?" Tipped off, caught off guard and feeling completely unprepared for what I'm going to say, I simply said "yes." (It's not a theory at all, <a href="http://paleo.cc/paluxy.htm">but a hardcore fact</a>.) and received tons of crap from the pastor which tells me I should've never, ever consult such a man, like my pastor, who will never gave me the answers I want in the first place. Then, years later, at a church service, my pastor preached a sermon about "the hairy beast", which he should've never done. "The hairy beast", referring to The Woolly Mammoth, was preached in response to The Discovery Channel program, <em>Raising the Mammoth</em> that aired on The Discovery Channel several years ago. In it, he started preaching crap that favors young earth lies, saying, as far as I can remember, that evolution is "an absolute joke" or something like that. That's when I got mad at him for telling lies about evolution and <a href="http://aigbusted.blogspot.com/2008/01/debunking-creationist-myths-about.html">how the mammoth really died</a> and stormed out. Years later, I went to see the pastor to ask why did he preached such a sermon about the mammoth one time. He explained to me that he was trying to present both sides of the issue and encourage them to decide on which "point of view" is worthy to embrace. He then explain that everything concerning science and origins doesn't matter at all in Christianity. What really matters is Jesus Christ and how He died on the cross for all of our sins because He love us and wants to include us in His presence in Heaven forever. That is what matters, not some senseless debates over origins or whether Genesis 1-11 agrees with science or whether or not evolution is authentic (Which it is due to empirical evidence supporting it.).</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the creationists are very much determined to make everything they preach matter in Christianity despite the fact that what they present are not points of views and/or opinions, but blatant stupid lies made up in disguise of "opinions" and "point of views" they want everyone to be conformed to and nothing else. They invented these "opinions and "point of views" just by distorting the fossil record, rewriting history, distorting artifacts and cave drawings (by all means through using image editing programs like photoshop and other methods of trick photography and blurred images and text and images and text taken out of context), and changing ancient text, mythology, and folklore to fit their dogmatic beliefs. They want to have Biblical history be told <strong>their way</strong>, not the other way around.</p>
<p>In Ham's crackhouse, just as in all forms of creationist media, crackhouses, and seminars, they will pretend to present 2 sides of the issue while hiding the fact that they are only masterminding the presentation of presenting just one side of the issue -- their own -- and skillfully manipulating you into conforming to it and be ignorant of the complete lack of evidences of any kind supporting their "point of view" and "opinions" unlike the other side of the issue they want you to ignore that's completely filled with facts supported by empirical evidence which clearly tells us truthfully that the Earth is 4.5 billion years old, dinosaurs lived long before humans, and all life, including humans, change over a period of time. Even creationists themselves teach that life change over a period of time (at a very fast rate), yet they refuse to believe that they are teaching is evolution, the very same thing they continuously regard as a lie.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you look at the right handed corner of the blog and scroll down a bit, you'll find I put a disclaimer on this blog to make people be aware of what I wrote that may not appeal to those who are unfamiliar to the creation/evolution issue and the reactions to the creationists made by the like of me. I did this in direct response to someone who looked at my site to help get two "points of view" on dinosaurs for his grandson to examine, but was appalled by what I wrote about Bodie Hodge and <a href="http://dinocreationistsfairytale.wordpress.com/2008/03/06/plenty-more-hodge-podge-on-dinosaurs/">his failed explanations</a> of why aren't human remains found alongside dinosaur remains. Here's what he wrote about my writings.</p>
<blockquote><p><i>"I was interested in reading info on dinosaurs to tell my young grandson some of the theories. I did read Ham’s take on it and was then reading yours to get another side of the questions. However, I found your answer to Hodge so hateful and arrogant, I decided that I didn’t need to finish the read. Sorry! Can’t you answer questions without that superior attitude? People aren’t stupid just because you don’t agree with them. I could feel your blood pressure rising as you wrote your article. Can’t keep it simple? Won’t be visiting your site again - I’ll find a more suitable one."</i></p></blockquote>
<p>I'm sorry I offended this individual who wanted very much to find out stuff about dinosaurs for his grandson in a positive way, so I went back and altered the essay about Bodie Hodge a bit to make them more appealing to people just like him. That's why what you've seen on the <a href="http://www.bpsdb.org/">BPSDB</a> site was not what is shown here anymore.</p>
<p>However, I'm also sorry to know that this individual is apparently unfamiliar with the issues of creation/evolution, the lying "theories" of dinosaurs living with humans, and the not-so friendly reactions to the two coming from the likes of me, and the real wolf behind sheep's clothing which is Ken Ham himself, who is anything but a likable man.</p>
<p>This individual thinks my reactions to Hodge's is hateful and arrogant. No more hateful and arrogant than the <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2008/03/dear_readers_i_hope_you_die_so.php">Rapture Ready Extremists</a> and <a href="http://noanswersingenesis.org.au/cre_not_alt_to_evo2.htm">the likes of Ham and Hodge</a> who, without shame, more than anything else, engage in all sorts of hate mongering essays, writings, rants, and speeches in every part of their propagandistic crusades from seminars to children's literature.</p>
<p>I tried to keep all the negative opinions about the creationists to myself and just attack the claims put out by the creationists, but sometimes I get carried away and find myself in trouble by a few individuals including a few that's made up of those who oppose him and his views, who had to come along and reprimand, even rebuke me for getting carried away in expressing what I think about Ham and the other creationists. In my opinion these people who do that must have idolized him in one form or another and don't want anything bad and offensive to be spoken about their idol. Those who do that are highly unfamiliar with the fact that Ham, Hodge, Davis and all other creationists are just as bad (even  worse) as I am and can openly express about anyone who refuses to conform to their narrow-minded views far more in an absolute worst way than I ever expressed. If you want pure examples of the best-- albeit, worst hate-mongering expressions ever displayed by Ham, check out <a href="http://dinocreationistsfairytale.wordpress.com/2008/02/22/hate-mongering-ken-hams-racial-hypocrisy/">this essay</a> I wrote several weeks ago about it.</p>

Here's Buddy's answer: "Lie. Lie about them continuously and stupidly. Ignore everything that contradicts Buddy's Bible Fairy Tale and distort the bible to make it agree with your lies. Lie, lie, and lie and don't stop lying even when the evidence that exposes our lies gets flashed in front of your face." This is the answer Buddy is implying here in February 14th <a href="http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/nab/spread-gospel-with-dinosaurs">article</a> on Ken Ham's idiot site where he tells us, in his own way, how to use dinosaurs to do the very same thing Davis and other creationists accuse non-young earth believers of-- indoctrinate children. This article clearly dictates Christians to tell lies to children about dinosaurs and make them ignore everything that exposes their lies and deception about dinosaurs living thousands of years ago alongside humans.</p>
<p>The real answer to the question asked in the title is, "You can't." You can't use dinosaurs to spread the lying creation gospel message because not only is the lying creation gospel message is entirely false and destructive to the real true Gospel message of Jesus Christ, but except birds, dinosaurs were never really part of the Creation and Flood Story to begin with. How Davis dictates Christians is played out in the beginning of the article when he states that dinosaurs are among the most fascinating of animals, and children (and adults, too) especially are intrigued by them which, according to Davis, is the reason why evolutionists use them to teach about evolution and "millions of years" which the creationists did much to profane the "millions of years" term by making it into an ad hoc phrase. They manipulate the phrase made it as if it's a bad phrase while it's not. The same thing is done to evolution, too. They made evolution and millions of years to be evil because they <em>wanted it that way</em>. They want Darwin and his supporters to be wrong in everything they says about evolution and "millions of years" for no reason other than to manipulate children and adults into believing in the falsehood of creation and thousands of years for money, power, and control.</p>
<p>Here's what Davis said after that,</p>
<p>"<em>Christians, however, should use dinosaurs to teach the true history of the universe."</em></p>
<p>Since when it is a requirement for Christians to teach this vile 6,000 year lie cloaked as "the true history of the universe?" Note the phrase "the true history of the universe" and how it's being use as a manipulation tactic. In an attitude entirely no different than Islamic religious extremists, when Davis, Ham, and other creationists say, "Christians should" and "Christians can" and "Christians must" they dictate what Christians are to do, say, and believe about God, His Word, and His creation according to the young earth creationists' own faulty principles and no one else's.</p>
<p>They, in their own way, define "Christians" as those who conform into their narrow-minded perspective of "the true history of the universe" which is no different than Jihad and Al Qaeda militants who has a strong desire to convert the whole world to Islam, dictate to Islamists what they are to do, say, and believe according to their principles and define believers in Islam as what they themselves want believers in Islam to be, never mind what Islam really teaches in the Quran concerning love, peace, hospitality, and unity among all peoples. It is evidence that Davis, Ham, and others have a strong desire to dictate all Christians and non-Christians alike to believe every lie Davis, Ham, and others give out and conform to their version of "the true history of the universe" based on  pure, solid ignorance and their distorted view of the bible, claiming that if their version of the true history of the universe is false, then the message of Jesus Christ and His salvation for mankind is false. This kind of manipulation is no different than the manipulations put on by the Judizers in the Apostle Paul's day.</p>
<p>Creationists sure do one heck of a job at making a lie out of the salvation message by insinuating their falsehoods into the Gospel message, saying that everything that has to do with evolution and millions of years is a direct attack on the gospel, the cross, atonement, and the salvation message, while the real direct attack on all foundations and doctrines of the bible is both Creation and thousands of years themselves just by forcefully insinuate themselves into the bible and undermine all foundation and doctrines of the bible, including the message of the Gospel and the foundations of the Christian Faith.</p>
<p>According to Davis, when dinosaurs are used to spread the gospel message, they ultimately become "missionary lizards," imaginary lizards posing as real dinosaurs that are everything <em>but</em> lizards  in reality. In the next segment, Davis goes on to give out his fairy tale that goes like this,</p>
<blockquote><p>"<em>According to evolutionary teaching, dinosaurs roamed the earth millions of years ago and evolved from other types of animals. But what does the Bible say about the origin and history of dinosaurs?" </em></p></blockquote>
<p>Zilch<em>. </em>The bible is entirely neutral on dinosaurs and their origin and history. Davis on the other hand claims that the bible says that God created all land animals and man on day 6 of creation week, including dinosaurs and that they did not evolve from other animals, nor did any other animal evolve from dinosaurs. If dinosaurs did not evolve from other animals, nor did any other animals evolve from dinosaurs but were created by God to reproduce after their own kind, why are creationists like Davis making it as if dinosaurs <em>did</em> evolve from other animals and that animals <em>did</em> evolve from dinosaurs when they breed after their own kind? Dinosaurs are animals that evolve from other animals related to them. In Davis' imaginary world, dinosaurs and other animals behave like cloning machines, creating exact duplicates of themselves with modifications added to the fixture. The more modifications develop on their offspring over time, the more different the offspring becomes. Thus, rendering the animal into another different animal. This clearly implies that dinosaurs and other animals <em>did</em> evolve from other types of animals despite Davis' claim that they didn't. This is what I called a direct contradiction when Davis claimed that dinosaurs did not evolve, only to turn around and say that dinosaurs evolve into huge varieties by reproducing after their own representative kind.</p>
<p>If all animals and man were created at the same time, the world would have been extremely overcrowded with no room and space to move about. When creationists  claim that God must have created less than 200 different types of animals in an effort to deal with the overpopulation issue, they're really saying that He forgot to create the rest of the 90,000,000 plus animals, each living in separate ages over a period of 3 billion years in real life, every time they make remarks about God creating everything.</p>
<p>Creationists and all their supporters have long claimed that there was no evolution and that evolution is false and a lie and that instead God created everything out of nothing, yet they turn around and contradict all this by saying that God only made a handful of things and allow them to change into everything else over a period of time through the exact same process they highly regarded to be false, a lie, and that it didn't occurred. There is clear implications that creationists do teach evolution to be true and that there<em> is</em> evolution occurring and that animals, including dinosaurs, <em>did</em> evolve from other animals. But instead of teaching it to be a slow process, they teach that evolution occurred at a rate similar to that of Poke'mon.</p>
<p>Much of the article clearly shows Davis' knowledge of dinosaurs coming from 2<sup>nd</sup> grade. His explanation of Ornithschian and Saurischian hips fails to mention the saurischian hips in maniraptors and therizinosaurs with backward pointing pubis touching the ischium, making the saurischian hip look more of Ornithschian than Saurischian.</p>
<p>The next part features a list of some of the most popular dinosaurs. Like Ham, Davis claims that there were 50 different kinds of dinosaurs or fewer assuming that the rest of the 250 different kinds were made up of only "different sizes, varieties, and sexes of the same kind of dinosaur [that] have ended up with different names" while blatantly ignoring the 550 different types of dinosaurs each completely different than the other. The 50 different kinds or less claim is made up in an attempt to fit all dinosaurs into the ark without having to deal with the 550+ different types of dinosaurs that would've overcrowded the ark along with all other 90,000,000+ types of organisms that would split the ark in two if Noah tried to fit them all in there even when they're only made up of basic representative types. To be frank, what creationists are actually saying is that Noah disobeyed God when He commanded him to take up two of every land-dwelling, air-breathing animal (and seven of some) into the ark, by taking only Brachiosaurus while leaving the rest of the sauropods dinosaurs to die in the Flood, He too only caribou and left the rest of the deer to die in the flood, took only tortoises and left the rest of the turtles to die in the Flood, took only rats and left the rest of the rodents to die in the Flood, and so on.</p>
<p>Davis only gave out a list with simple descriptions of some well know types of dinosaurs, where in one point he mistakenly identifies Stegosaurus' thagomizer as a tail with 4 "horns" instead of a tail with 4 backward-pointing spikes. In the fossil section, Davis gives out a brief history on the discovery of dinosaurs and then, in direct response to scientists finding just bony remains of dead dinosaurs, dictates Christians to use dinosaurs..</p>
<blockquote><p>"<em>...to explain the origin of death. After God created all things, including dinosaurs, He called His creation "very good. Death was not part of the world until Adam disobeyed God's command not to eat of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Once Adam disobeyed, God cursed all of creation."</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Creationists want the term "very good" to mean "perfect in every way creationists wanted it to be regardless of the problems facing their 'very good' logic." Death <em>was</em> part of the world and was "very good" in helping plants and animals nourish their bodies through eating and digestion which is a form of death and decay. Otherwise, God would've never put in the tree of life in the garden in the first place. If there was no death before the fall, planting the tree of life would have not been necessary. The tree of life contains fruit that once eaten will give a person, who ate its fruit, eternal life. If all beings did ate the fruit from the tree of life, then there would have been no death at all.</p>
<p>In every writings dealing with death, creationists will often invoke Romans 8:22, which they took out of context and distorted, to justify the falsehood of God making nature suffer because of Adam's sin. According to the bible, when God created Adam, He placed him at the head of all creation. Creationists claimed that when Adam sinned, God cursed all creation by making them suffer for something they never in fact partake to begin with. In the creationists' eyes, since Adam is the head of all creation, creation must suffer alongside Adam, even though they never took part in his sin and disobedience. Thus, making the implications that God can also judge the innocent along with the guilty which is highly uncharacteristic of Him. When creationists distort the biblical story of creation, they leave out the fact that the only guilty ones that fell under the curse is Adam, Eve, and the snake who tempted Eve and Adam to eat the forbidden fruit. No other forms of nature has anything to do with the crime.</p>
<p>It is apparent that creationist have distorted the sin and curse part of the creation story and Romans 8:22 to explain everything from natural disasters to decay and decomposition while throwing out the real benefits behind those seemingly unpleasant things (i.e. storms cooling the high humidity down while providing water for people and animals to drink and decomposition provides food for worms and plants). Read all of Romans 8 carefully in full context and you'll find that the passage only refers to people who have yet to hear the Gospel. In some other versions of the Bible, including <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%208;&#38;version=53;">this one</a>, the word "creation" is translated as "creature." Creature and creation is one and the same and is only referring to humans who is lost in sin and has yet to hear the gospel of Jesus to be saved. Animals and nature with no instinct to sin and reason is not affected by this.</p>
<p>Next, Davis dictates Christians to use dinosaurs to help in telling a false version of Noah's Flood which features everything that not only goes entirely against the bible, but also, surprisingly, goes against the creationist claims about humans remains found in the very top rock strata being "post-Flood fossils,"</p>
<blockquote><p>"<em>The global Flood may have been one of the reasons dinosaurs went extinct. Before the Flood, dinosaurs freely roamed the earth. But due to man's wickedness, God sent a global Flood that destroyed all life that was not inside the Ark. During the Flood, many of these animals and humans were buried in sediment that later hardened, thus giving us many of the fossils scientists study today."</em></p></blockquote>
<p>So where are the animals and humans that are buried in sediment? How come why aren't we finding humans and animals of all types living and extinct in all layers of rock? How did plants and insects survived the Flood? Does Davis knows that floods, even the Flood, don't bury things, but just washes them away? The Flood would've destroy all marine and plant life and torn every insect apart, including the ones allegedly floating on "vegetable mats." Does Davis ever know that some of the supposed Flood sediments is in fact dry land and deset sediments that doesn't necessary need Noah's Flood to form them?  Does he know that the claim about human fossils being Flood victims contradicts the claim about human fossils being "post-Flood" fossils? Why are there dinosaur fossils found in Mesozoic rock layers and none elsewhere? Why are there no human and modern animal remains underneath the Pliocene strata? These and much more are the very many questions creationists can't honestly answer without blaspheming God, use empty explanations, and contradicting long held Flood claims.</p>
<p>In the rest of the section dealing with the alleged aftermath of the Flood, Davis claims that the dinosaurs, that allegedly survived the flood by being in the ark, died out afterwards perhaps due to the affects of the Ice Age that was alleged to have been caused by the Flood, never mind the Flood being <a href="http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CH/CH590.html">an extremely hot catastrophic time</a> with hot rains, volcanic eruptions, and scalding temperatures that would've incinerate everything, including the ark, leaving all of earth to be a hot, scalding desert with no survivors. No cooling of the earth, no Ice Age. The rest of the article claims dinosaurs, which were wrongly speculated to be sighted as "dragons", probably ether died out or were killed off in most cases due to starvation, disease, and the unfounded speculation of hunting pressure, would have been taken into consideration <em>if</em> we find evidence of dinosaur remains with embedded spears, skins made into clothing, bones made into jewelry, and burnt chewed up remains tossed aside in garbage piles located in human dwellings, exactly like what we see in many remains of horses, deer, mammoths, cattle, chicken, pigs, lions, elephants, rabbits, and many other modern animals living near and far from human dwellings. But none are found! It is evident that creationists only made up this idea of humans hunting dinosaurs to extinction from reading too many science fiction stories and comics and watching to many science-fiction films and TV shows depicting humans hunting dinosaurs instead of getting it from evidence.</p>
<p>According to Genesis 6:19 and Genesis 7:2-9 God wanted to salvage two of every land-dwelling, air-breathing animal (and seven of some) and bring them into the ark to be kept alive and living after the Flood ended. If God wanted all animals to survive and yet they died off after the Flood ended, then what's the point of ever salvaging them? Especially since the Flood's aftermath would bring death to all animals and people, not just dinosaurs, with undrinkable poisoned water filled with dead, decaying forms of marine life, complete barren dirt void of any soil needed for planting crops, plants completely destroyed-- seeds in all, and so much more if <a href="http://www.skepticfriends.org/forum/showquestion.asp?faq=4&#38;fldAuto=390">the conditions inside the ark doesn't kill them  first</a>.</p>
<p>At the conclusion of the article, Davis claims,</p>
<blockquote><p>"<em>Dinosaurs and the truths that they share about God's creation, man's sin, death, the Flood, and the Ice Age can be used by Christian young people and adults to share the gospel with unbelievers. These missionary lizards uphold the authority of Scripture, and they can be powerful tools in sharing the salvation message, which should be the ultimate goal of every Christian."<br />
</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Since when is spreading falsehoods and ignorance the ultimate<em> </em>goal of every Christian in place of preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and His message of eternal salvation? In other words, Davis dictates and expects every Christian to achieve the [sic] ultimate goal of using dinosaurs to proselytize "unbelievers" to believe every lie Davis tells about dinosaurs that is not based on the plain reading of Genesis and the true history of the universe, but on 100% pure ignorance. Ignorance of the complete lack of evidence of dinosaurs living alongside man thousands of years ago; ignorance of God, the Christian Faith, and the bible-- Genesis and all, being completely neutral on dinosaurs, science, and evolution; ignorance of science, dinosaurs, and evolution being completely irrelevant to the True Gospel message of Jesus Christ and vice versa; and above all ignorance of dinosaurs having no part in the authority of Scripture because these mythical missionary lizards will do nothing but set converts up for the Fall.</p>
<p>I really agree with <a href="http://noanswersingenesis.org.au/aig_prayer_news_dinosaurs.htm">John Stear</a> when he says that teaching ignorance and lies to children is one of the worst cases of child abuse ever. All over the article Davis is really telling Christians that it's OK to lie for God, destroy the Cause of Christ, disregard the real foundations of the Gospel message, poison the minds of children  and proselytize them into believing every lie Davis and other creationists invented by making up scores of lies from their heads and discarding the inconvenient mountains of evidence that challenge their false assumptions. Thus, the Creation Gospel message is no gospel to be believed, preached, and embraced, Period!  Apparently creationists like Davis only cares about the Gospel message just as long as they insinuate all their lies into the mix. Thus, leading children to fall from grace and lose their religion the moment their eyes are open to the devastating truth about young earth creationism and its pure deception are clearly known and fully exposed to them.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Can’t explain it, can’t they? It’s a blatant fact that Creationists can never, ever honestly e]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.bpsdb.org/"><img src="http://media.bpsdb.org/bpsdb_01s.png" alt="BPSDB" width="125" height="93" align="left" /></a>Can’t explain it, can’t they? It’s a blatant fact that Creationists can never, ever honestly explain why are there no human fossils found alongside dinosaur fossils. Instead, they just make everything up<span> and throw out everything else that contradicts them</span>, just like what this individual does here. On May 4th of last year (Yet mentioned recently on February 13 of this year.), Creationist Bodie Hodge, one of Ham's cronies wrote and publish a <a href="http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/am/v1/n1/humans-and-dinosaurs">brief, small article</a> entitled, <em>If humans and dinosaurs lived together, why don't we find human fossils with dinosaur fossils?</em></p>
<p>Then months later, he <a href="http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/nab/human-and-dino-fossils-together">expanded it</a> and included it in Ham's rehashed version of <em>The Answers Book</em> by adding more faulty explanations than the original brief version which I've debunked <a href="http://dinocreationistsfairytale.wordpress.com/2007/02/17/more-hodge-podge-on-dinosaurs/">here</a>.</p>
<p>The extended version of the article begins by claiming,</p>
<blockquote><p><em>"Biblical creationists believe that man and dinosaurs lived at the same time because God, a perfect eyewitness to history, said that He created man and land animals on Day 6 (Genesis 1:24-31). Dinosaurs are land animals, so logically they were created on Day 6."</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Creationists like Hodge has done a pretty banged-up job of making God into a perfect <em>false</em> eyewitness to history by claiming that God said this while knowing deep down inside He didn't really do what He claimed to have said.</p>
<p>Hodge then claims,</p>
<blockquote><p><em>"In contrast, those who do not believe the plain reading of Genesis,..."</em></p></blockquote>
<p>which is the plain <em>distorted</em> reading of Genesis, of course.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>...such as many non-Christians and compromised Christians,.. </em></p></blockquote>
<p>who's anyone Christian and non-Christian who rejects the young earth dogma. The only real compromised Christians is Hodge, Ham, and all other young earth creationists themselves who compromise their faith in God with the strong desire to abuse and distort Christianity, Islam, and all other religions for their own personal gain.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>..believe the rock and fossil layers on earth represent millions of years of earth history and that man and dinosaurs did not live at the same time."</em></p></blockquote>
<p>This supposed "belief" is based on factual evidence. There is nothing made up about humans and dinosaurs not living at the same time. Apparently, Hodge is aware of the fact that the fossil record clearly shows that there are no human remains found alongside dinosaur remains. Something even old-earth creationists have tried to point out to the young earthers who always turned a blind eye to every evidence that contradicts their beliefs. So Hodge decides to ponder and make up lies to explain the question: Why don't we find human fossils with dinosaur fossils, if they lived at the same time? Answer: Because human fossils were never with dinosaur fossils to begin with. Thus, the fact that humans never lived with dinosaurs except birds is clearly well established.</p>
<p>Yet, Hodge still dictates his followers, telling them they must believe in this mythology of dinosaurs (of non-avian types) and humans living together to be true (or else go to Hell) by giving out some of the most stupidest, most emptiest of explanations creationists like him can ever come up with in hopes that these will explain everything as to why there are no human fossils found with dinosaur fossils. It doesn't. The unfounded, made-up answers Hodge put out will not explain everything of what Hodge claims about humans and dinosaur fossils as we shall see here.</p>
<p>The first LOL statement Hodge gave out claims,</p>
<blockquote><p><em>"We find human fossils in layers that most creationists consider post-Flood. Most of these were probably buried after the Flood and after the scattering of humans from Babel." </em></p></blockquote>
<p>Didn't creationists say that all fossils are formed by Noah's Flood that rapidly buried the bodies of plants, animals, and people and change them into fossils? They always rejected the notion of fossils being formed by a gentle shower of rain and sediment occurring gradually over a long period of time out of concern that if the supposed "billions of dead things" were laid down by a gentle shower of rain and sediment over a long period of time, the bodies would've all rotted away by the time sediment completely covers them, preferring to have only the violent, flash Flood of Noah to do all the preservation and fossil forming for them. If these human fossils are so-called "Post-Flood" remains, then how did they become fossils to begin with <em>without experiencing rapid burial and decay?</em> This claim made up about human fossils being "Post-Flood" remains directly contradicts the well known, repeated creationist claim about all fossils, including human fossils, formed as the result of plants, animals, and people being buried rapidly by Noah's Flood.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>So it is true that human and dinosaur fossils have yet to be found in the same layers, but does that mean that long-age believers are correct?" </em></p></blockquote>
<p>They are. But here's how Hodge is making it as if they're not.</p>
<p>In the next paragraph Hodge give out a list of what he believes what the fossil record is made up of.</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li><em>~95% of all fossils are shallow marine organisms, such as corals and shellfish.</em></li>
<li><em>~95% of the remaining 5% are algae and plants.</em></li>
<li><em>~95% of the remaining 0.25% are invertebrates, including insects.</em></li>
<li><em>The remaining 0.0125% are vertebrates, mostly fish. (95% of land vertebrates consist of less than one bone, and 95% of mammal fossils are from the Ice Age after the Flood.)</em></li>
</ul>
<p><em>"The number of dinosaur fossils is actually relatively small, compared to other types of creatures. Since the Flood was a marine catastrophe, we would expect marine fossils to be dominant in the fossil record. And that is the case."</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Hodge is correct when he says that most fossils came from marine animals while the rest of the record is made up of a small percentage of fossil remains of land animals and plants and does not explain why are there no human remains found alongside dinosaur remains. He's also incorrect when he claims that the land vertebrates consist of only less than one bone. Creationists made-up this constant claim of fossil record being made up of less than one bone out of sheer ignorance of land vertebrates being discovered and unearthed in complete sets including the hadrosaur fossil nicknamed "Dakota." Obviously they are afraid to mention the complete fossils because these fossils clearly destroys the myth of the fossil record being "Flood accounts." Plus, If Noah's Flood was a true event like the creationists claimed, even the marine fossils would have been just as rare as the land vertebrates themselves. In fact there would have been no fossils of any type found at all if the Flood of Noah was true and did occurred 4,500 years ago just as the creationists claimed it did. Secondly, just like the "post-Flood human fossil claim, the claim about 95% of mammal fossils being from the Ice Age after the Flood also blatantly contradicts the claim about all fossils being formed rapidly by Noah's Flood. Just like the "post-Flood" human remains, If these Ice Age fossils are so-called "Post-Flood" remains, then how did they become fossils to begin with <em>without experiencing rapid burial and decay?</em></p>
<p>The next section makes another contradictory claim that tries to explain the motive behind the Flood. This section claims that God wants to "blot out" mankind because of his sins through the Flood, but that doesn't mean He wanted to "blot out" mankind completely-- or so they think. In their claims dealing with whether the Flood was global or regional, creationists claimed that if God flooded only small parts of the world instead of the whole globe, He didn't really keep his promise and He only dished out partial judgment upon mankind. In this section, Hodge dictates everyone to think that God wants to completely wipe out all of mankind for his sins, but turn around and leave behind traces of them to serve as a warning to anyone who decides to sin against God, implying that God didn't really keep His promise to unleashed the complete wrath and judgment upon the land animals and the sinful mankind after all, but instead only dished out partial judgment on the surface dwellers. Folks, if you want to see another example of Hodge sinfully putting God to the test, contradicting the Bible, and making no sense of everything that's found in the fossil record, this is it! <strong>To "blot out" means to wipe everything, absolutely everything, and I do mean "everything" completely off the face of the earth without a single trace.</strong> If Hodge claims to be the case, then plants and animals would also have been wiped out <strong><em>the exact same way</em></strong> as the human race, leaving <em><strong>no</strong> </em>traces of their remains behind.</p>
<p>The next section deals with whether human remains fossilize like other creatures. The real answer to that entirely depends on the conditions surrounding the human remains. In fact, forming fossils out of human remains are entirely no different than forming fossils out of remains of plants and animals. They are formed the exact same way depending upon the conditions that surrounds them all. Hodge, however, beings up another assertion that doesn't explain everything of what creationists constantly claim about dinosaurs and humans together,</p>
<blockquote><p><em>"Fossilization is a rare event, especially of humans who are very mobile. Since the rains of Noah's Flood took weeks to cover the earth, many people could have made it to boats, grabbed on to floating debris, and so on." </em></p></blockquote>
<p>That doesn't make sense. Anyone who made it to boats and grabbed onto floating debris and anything else would have stood a better chance of surviving the Flood as long as the boats are well made to withstand the pounding of waves and the people manages to hold onto floating debris real tight. The rains may took weeks to cover the earth, but if what creationists claims to be the case, then <em>none</em> of the people outside the ark who are stuck floating on boats, rafts, and floating debris, clinging to dear life, would have perish in the Flood which will go directly against the Bible that says that everything outside the ark that breathe died during the 40 days and 40 nights it rained.</p>
<p>If God intended to kill off all people in the Flood, then how did God prevent other people who had boats from surviving the flood? If creationists claims that the boats would've have been torn apart in the Flood, the ark would have experience the very same thing. State this to the creationists and chance are they will counter this by making up imaginary, unfounded "goddoneit" claims about angels protecting the ark while all the other boats are being been torn up. If the young earth and the worldwide Flood is true, then we would've find scores of traces of skeletal remains of humans in and around boats wrecks and fossil tree trunks and branches dating to the time of the alleged Flood all over the earth, but none are found.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>"Some may have made it to higher ground. Although they wouldn't have lasted that long and would have eventually perished, they might not fossilize. In most cases, dead things decompose or get eaten. They just disappear and nothing is left."</em></p></blockquote>
<p>That also doesn't make sense. If those who perished in the Flood might not fossilize and just decompose and rotted away, then all animals and plants would experience <em>the exact same way</em>. Then the fossil record would be completely bare of bones and fossils from top to bottom.</p>
<p>Apparently, when creationists saw the fossil record being completely void of human fossils except for the top strata, they drew to the conclusion that the human race must have fled to the highest ground while all the animal and plant life, which fossils are found below the top strata reaching all the way to the bottom of the fossil record, perished in the Flood. This conclusion fails miserably to explain why are there fossils of plants and animals of various species each found only exclusively in certain types of rock strata and nowhere else (i.e. <em>Brontotherium</em> is found only in the strata dating to the Oligocene epoch about 37-32 million years ago while <em>Placerias</em> is found only in the strata dated to the Triassic Period about 220 million years ago. <em>Kronosaurus</em> is found only in the strata dated to the Early Cretaceous Period about 112 million years ago while <em>Mixosaurus</em> is found only in the strata dated to Triassic Period about 220 million years ago. And angiosperms (flowering plants) is found only in the strata dated to the Early Cretaceous Period that began about 145 million years ago while pteridophyta (ferns) is found only in the lower strata dated to the Early Carboniferous Period that began about 354 million years ago.).</p>
<p>Here's another idiot explanation of Hodges that doesn't do any good in solving the mystery of the disappearance of "pre-flood" humans. The next section entitled <em>Were Pre-Flood Humans Few in Number?</em> where it claims that the populations of "pre-flood" humans were estimated in either few hundred thousand, 17 billion people, or perhaps hundreds of thousands according to Hodge. Either way, the population of Earth would greatly play a major part in overcrowding the planet along with all types of plants and animals living and extinct, making earth the most overcrowded planet in the universe with no room for any space at all.</p>
<p>The next explanation of why "pre-flood" humans were not found according to Hodge is because there's far too many sediment in the ground and far too little human population to be found anywhere. In Hodge's mind, just like today, human populations in the fictional "pre-Flood" era were perhaps not evenly distributed and are only found in pocketed areas that have yet to be discovered, yet are buried way too deep in sediment for them to be unearthed. Outside Hodge's imagination, the chances of finding such pocketed areas in the so-called "pre-Flood" sediments (Pre-Pliocene sediments in real life) as well as the chances of finding humans and dinosaurs together in the same layer is both entirely nil. Nowhere in all layers of pre-Pliocene rock are there any evidence of human remnants found alongside each and every prehistoric monster dating before the Pliocene Epoch whether they be individuals or large and small groups from top to bottom. Still creationists like Hodge continues to cling to an absolute false, vain hope of finding such traces of densely populated human dwellings, accompany by evidences of dinosaurs being kept as pets and people using all forms of technology way beyond their time, whether they be in the form of cities, villages, farmlands, and campsites in hopes that someday, somehow a piece of evidence will turn up that will confirm their young earth beliefs to be true and evolution and long ages will be exactly what creationists wanted them to be-- a lie. But they may have to wait forever for it, though.</p>
<p>Hodge is a failure. A total failure in explaining why are there no human remains found alongside dinosaur remains. What is shown throughout the article is Bodie Hodge's utmost failure to explain why are there no human remains found alongside dinosaur remains. This is also one of the best example of creationist claims contradicting creationist claims and of creationists letting their imaginations run away with them, never allowing their dull minds to make real sense of the fossil record. But that's not all what the article claims about.The last section of the article entitled <em>Think about It-Would You Want to Live with Dinosaurs?</em> claims,</p>
<blockquote><p><em>"Often, people believe that if human bones aren't found with dinosaur bones, then they didn't live at the same time. Actually, all we know for sure is that they weren't buried together. It is very easy for creatures to live at the same time on earth, but never even cross paths. Have you ever seen a tiger or a panda in the wild? Just because animals are not found together does not mean they do not live in the same world at the same time."</em><em> </em></p></blockquote>
<p>If that's what Hodge claim it simply means, then how are they not living in the same world at the same time? The answer according to Hodge is that there are lots of "living fossils" such as the Coelacanth, the Wollemi Pine, and the Ginkgo that were once thought to be extinct for millions of years only to turn up unexpectedly in some remote places throughout the world.</p>
<p>However, this section blatantly ignores the fact that these 3 "living fossils" are all <em>living relatives</em> of extinct species of plants and animals that have died out million years ago. Plus, it ignores that fact that one of the <a href="http://www.don-lindsay-archive.org/creation/coelacanth.html">possible explanations</a> to why there are no fossils of coelacanths found in the fossil record since 70 million years is because they thrive in very deep areas of the water where little or no fossilization occur. The same goes with the plants that live in areas that are void of any type of condition that would cause fossilization to occur.</p>
<p>This article implies that if it is possible for a coelacanth, Wollemi Pine, and the Ginkgo to be found alive and living alongside humans after it was thought to be extinct for millions of years, then it will be possible for a dinosaur to be found exactly same way.... <strong>IF</strong> they are part of the Lazarus Taxon.</p>
<p>To confirm what Hodge is saying, humans and dinosaurs must be part of a special taxon called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazarus_taxon">the Lazarus Taxon</a>. This is where animals supposedly extinct are being found alive today with a gap lying in between the living and the last time fossil remains of them has been found in the fossil record. Creationists like Hodge know about the Lazarus Taxon or The Lazarus Effect as they call it and often use this method to help justify their claims about dinosaurs and humans living at the same time.</p>
<p>Problem with their idiotic assertions is that both humans and dinosaurs are NOT a part of the Lazarus Taxon. In order for them to be in the Lazarus Taxon, there have to be a gap in the fossil record that spans between living humans and dinosaurs and dead humans and dinosaurs. But that's not the case!</p>
<p>Even though these 3 organisms live alongside humans today and the fossil record shows no traces of them coexisting with humans, that doesn't mean dinosaurs like <em>Apatosaurus</em> and T.rex, let alone all other extinct animals that predates the Dawn of Man, must have lived at the same time as humans and modern animals in separate areas of the world. Especially since none of such animals exist today (Every claim of alleged modern dinosaurs coexisting with humans put on by creationists, including the alleged claim of sauropod dinosaurs roaming the Congo Basin in Africa, have been proven to be nothing more than distorted fabrications, made-up stories, distorted versions of rhinoceros, snake, turtle, and elephant sightings, and elaborate hoaxes.). Not to mention the fact that none of them are found alongside humans in the fossil record and no gap is found between living dinosaurs coexisting with humans and dead dinosaurs without human remains in the fossil record as well.</p>
<p>One can only look at any current, updated map showing the locations of every fossil site in the world to see that there is no way humans, prehistoric and modern animals can live at the same time separately without bumping into each other.</p>
<p>The last section of the article asks,</p>
<blockquote><p><em>"What Can We Conclude?"</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Answer: Conclude just how stupid, empty, and false Hodge's explanations are and stick with the true conclusions that there absolutely no indications of humans/dinosaur co-existence found everywhere, anywhere in all record accounts whether it be fossil, historical, or archaeological records all over the earth.</p>
<p>Just like all creationists, Hodge fails to honestly explain why are there no human remains, ruins, and artifacts found alongside dinosaur remains, let alone any other extinct animals that predate the Dawn of Man. He can't even explain the complete absence of human remains inside the dinosaurs' stomach area and why don't we find remnants of humans embedded in dinosaur feces. Still this doesn't stop him and other young earthers from making up nice dreams and cling to false, vain hopes of finding unsurprising evidences of humans and dinosaurs together side by side, whether they be evidences that tell of human parties invading dinosaur lands for sport (or for food) or merely humans and dinosaurs being washed up and buried together, that would cause "evolutionists" to make up one imaginary hypothesis after another by, at one point, speculate that they are moved and redeposited or something.</p>
<p>Dream on, Hodge. This is all a figment of your imagination, not real life. None of what you assume will ever be found. Even if the evidence for dinosaurs and humans living together is found, this does not make evolution and millions of years invalid, nor does it destroy the facts of evolution and "long ages." It only enhances evolution and lead scientists to debate on how dinosaurs evolve over time to cope with humans which is still going on today.</p>
<p>As a matter of fact, the evidence of humans and dinosaurs together surprisingly has already been found, but they're not what creationists think they are. Creationists like to think that somewhere in the remote area of the world, there is a region still inhabited by dinosaurs like Apatosaurus and T.Rex; and are living alongside of humans who also live in that particular region as well. That only exists in science fiction and fantasy. In real life, one doesn't have go far to search anywhere in the world to find dinosaurs living alongside humans while one can just look up in the sky and see a dinosaur known as a bird flying overhead.</p>
<p>Now look at the concluding statement Hodge made towards the very end of the article,</p>
<blockquote><p><em>"As biblical creationists, we don't require that human and dinosaur fossils be found in the same layers. Whether they are found or not, does not affect the biblical view of history.</em>"</p></blockquote>
<p>Isn't that something? He says we don't require that human and dinosaur fossils be found in the same layers, but he's sure is making it as if <em>it is</em> a requirement for human and dinosaur fossil to be found in the same layers to believe the false, distorted biblical view of history. After all, didn't the bible, according to the creationists, say that humans and dinosaurs were created at the same time on the same day of the same week? If humans and dinosaurs were created at the same time, then we should find scores of evidence of humans and dinosaurs living together at the same time in all forms of historical, archaeological, fossil, and even biblical records. But none are found!</p>
<p>Here's the end of the article where Hodge makes an unbiblical and propagandistic motive to rally up the readers and give them a false choice,</p>
<blockquote><p><em>"The fundamental debate is really about the most trustworthy source of information about history. Do we start with the Bible, which God says is true in every detail, including its history, or do we start with the changing theories of imperfect man?"</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Answer: We start with neither! For both are all distorted! Both the Bible, which God is alleged to say is true in every detail, including its history and the changing theories of imperfect man are all one and the same in form of young earth creationism, which is what Hodge dictates everyone to embrace and forget about what you learn in science and Bible scholarship classes concerning about the real history of the Bible and the fossil record. Like all creationists Hodge wants everyone to think that this is not blind faith to believe in Hodges' own words</p>
<blockquote><p><em>"...that God has filled the world with clear evidences that confirm the truth of His Word and the certainty of the Christian faith."</em></p></blockquote>
<p>But where are they, Hodge? Where are the supposed...oh, wait! There is clear evidence! The clear evidence that confirm the truth of young earth creationism to be an absolute lie that undermines both God, His Word and the certainty of the Christian Faith.</p>
<p>This what is preached here is blind faith! What Hodge is saying actually translates to, "It's not blind faith but it <em>is</em> Blind Faith." Blind faith in something, like young earth creationism, that is entirely false will get your real Christian faith, which makes it all possible for you to please God, killed.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>"The fossil record itself is an incredible testimony to the truth of God's Word and His promise to "blot out" all land dwelling, air-breathing animals and humans in a worldwide catastrophe."</em></p></blockquote>
<p>And an incredible false testimony this is! If what Hodge says to be the truth of God's Word, then not only did God carried out his promise to blot out all land dwelling, air-breathing animals and humans, <em>without an absolute trace</em>, in a worldwide catastrophe, He also managed to completely blot out all the passengers on board the ark in the aftermath of the worldwide catastrophe despite his promise to salvage them from the flood in order to be kept alive afterwards. Saying that God has promise to blot out all land dwelling, air-breathing animals and humans and their wickedness completely, only to leave lots of traces of them behind, which is exactly the same as if to say that God has promised to blot out all sin and wickedness, yet find sin and wickedness still being prevalent in this world, is kind of saying that God has failed to keep his promises to punish the Earth by unleashing His full Judgment on the Earth, and failed to really blot them all out completely like He said he would.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just the other day, I was doing another post for my blog when I came across a site entitled<a href="http://yearegods.wordpress.com/"> Ye Are Gods</a> which it's a creationist site that has <a href="http://yearegods.wordpress.com/2008/01/23/dinosaurs-and-the-bible/">a post</a> (<strong>Updated:</strong> Post is gone! Good riddance! Yet, he still continues to lie about Behemoth being a sauropod dinosaur. Obviously, he has a tactic of removing any post from his site the moment he finds out that his posts are link to sites like mine.) on it containing the usual creationist lies and false claims about Behemoth, Leviathan, and "dragon" being dinosaurs in the bible. In direct response to this, I posted to this site the following comment:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>"Take a good look at my 2 blog posts and you’ll find that Behemoth and Leviathan is not what you think it is.<br />
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://dinocreationistsfairytale.wordpress.com/2006/11/07/the-truth-about-leviathan/"></a></em></p>
<p><em><a rel="nofollow" href="http://dinocreationistsfairytale.wordpress.com/2006/11/07/the-truth-about-leviathan/">The Truth about Leviathan</a></em></p>
<p><em><a rel="nofollow" href="http://dinocreationistsfairytale.wordpress.com/2006/11/07/the-truth-about-behemoth/">The Truth about Behemoth"</a></em></p></blockquote>
<p>It was getting late at night so I went to bed. The next morning, I woke up, watch some TV, got dressed, went downstairs, turned on my PC to check on my blog and guess what the response is from the creationist who saw my comment posted on his site:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>"Experience has proven that it is a huge waste of time to argue with atheists. Your blog is entertaining, but chock full of nonsense. I won’t allow the link to your blog as your comment was clearly meant to direct traffic to it only.</em><em>Without faith it is impossible to please God - something you do not care for anyways. Have fun with your writings."</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Ooo! Looks like this creationist is a bigoted hypocrite who wishes to accuse me of being an atheist who don't care about pleasing God through faith and my blog of having my chock full of nonsense just like what his blog itself has. He wishes to not waste time arguing with me and not risk his life and limb losing his followers to the facts and the truth paraded on my blog that clearly debunks his claims about Behemoth and Leviathan being a <em>Diplodocus</em> and a <em>Kronosaurus</em> and "<em>tanniyn</em>" (or dragon) being dinosaurs in general. BTW, the Hebrew word is mistranslated as "dragon" in the King James Bible. The actual translation of the word is either "wolf," "jackal," or "snake," not dinosaur. So, I went to the LiveJournal website and posted on the <a href="http://community.livejournal.com/endcreationism/222112.html">Endcreationism</a> site about the ordeal with the creationist blog and asked, "Should I tell him that I am not an atheist, but a Christian who has a huge faith in God and accepts the fact that believing and accepting all young earth lies is entirely unbiblical?" which is exactly what I really am. One_bat says I should and repost the links on the site again even though he would just take the links off the site again just as he did before. He told me do it anyway, so I went back to the blog post and lo and behold, the comments I posted to his site along with his response are gone. Can't stand the heat, can't he? It just comes to show just how stubborn, bigoted, and hypocritical young earth creationists really are.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Don't you just hate when it seems you're the only one in the whole family who rejects creationism while everyone else embraces it without a second thought? A lot of times it feels to be the case when one Saturday night I threw into a screaming hissy fit when mom showed me a book from a Crossroads Christian catalog entitled <em>It Couldn't Just Happened: Fascinating Facts about God's World. </em>She was only trying to show me a picture of a dinosaur on the font cover. I though she was making me see a book I don't want to see as an effort to impose young earth dogma down my throat. To be honest with you, I've saw that book several times before and after the ordeal took place and even made a print out of the dinosaur to hang up in my room even though I eventually regard it as a such a stupid image that I would just throw the image away. I was never happy with it to begin with let alone any other creationist drawn dinosaur image. Even though I look down on them, I still get them anyway because I'm a real sucker for dinosaur art just like I mentioned before.</p>
<p>The whole night is spent throwing a screaming fit and telling everyone to shut up, shut up, shut up every time they make remarks in favor of creationism while they are really trying to make me see two sides of the issue which to me they are not making me see both sides of the issue, but instead forcing me to be conform to the lies of creationism (How can I ever explain what I'm dealing with without allowing emotion to have a huge foothold on me?) and not listening to one single word I say when it comes to the fact that everything about creationism is all lies. The next day, the issue was brought up again. When I remarked about creationism being wrong, full of lies, and I won't change my views, and everything else I don't remember saying, I walked away, not counting on Gary following me from behind and cornering me in the back room with a stern lecture which, in my view, favors creationism and suggests to me I should give up visiting creationism sites because they upset me. They way I dealt with those remarks from my big brother gave me the impression that I have to be conformed to creationist lies, no matter what. I was miserable the whole day because of it. Still I refuse to give in, nor stay out of the sites that deal with creationism whether they're for or against it. Yes, pro-creationism sites do upset me. As mentioned before, nowadays one cannot go all over the web without running into creationist sites that spew out filthy lies in the name of the Lord. And it seems there's nothing you can do to stop the young earth juggernaut, but sit around and be in an emotional tailspin over unpleasant remarks creationists utter that will make one get real sick to his/her stomach and be forced to take headache pills just to make the tress headaches go away. I, too have those days when I want to just get in there and give those hard-headed creationists and their supporters a piece of your mind. I, too have those times when I say I don't want to have anything to do with them only to turn around and see those sites again because there's something about them that attracting you to them and their lies such as weasel words they utter to manipulate even the most devoted of Christians (and Muslims, too!) into falling for all their lies.</p>
<p>Some of the best examples of weasel words include, "God is good and He created a good world at the beginning. The problem began when man began to trust his own ideas instead of believing the words that God had spoken";"Naturalists would exclude the consideration of such a view of origins, regardless of the evidence for intelligent design. They wrongly claim that science cannot consider supernatural explanations. Nonetheless there are several compelling lines of evidence that the Bible is God's Word";"One can't believe in 'millions of years' because of death, disease, and bloodshed occurring before Adam sinned.";"The fossil record can only be formed as a result of Adam sinned.";"Salvation is invalid without accepting Literal Genesis" "You can't accept both evolution and Genesis"; "You can't be saved unless you believe in creation." and lots more.</p>
<p>These are all weasel words, so intimidating and <em>so unbiblical</em>. No where in the Bible does it say the things creationists claim you must do to be saved. Those kinds of weasel words are no different than the weasel words being put out by other religious cult leaders (such as the Judaizers in the Apostle Paul's day) in order to keep their followers in line. Weasel Words that make people like me want to raise plenty of Hell and openly condemn them in every way for lying in God's name and distort the bible for their own selfish means and ambitions. Young earth creationism, being of the Devil, is truly a highly destructive, unbiblical, heresy that destroys the Christian Faith, give Christianity a bad name and delude hapless followers into never telling truth from lie and believing that it's OK to lie and hate for God and spew out slanderous hatred and condemnations towards anyone who refuse to comply with them. All of young earth creationism is exactly as described in <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20peter%202&#38;version=31">2 Peter 2</a> passage in the Bible, the very same passage along with all other passages like them in which creationists use to condemn anyone who opposed their young earth dogma, yet the passages clearly fit the creationists themselves like a glove, being without exception absolutely everything they accuse evolution, Darwin, science, and all its supporters, Christian and non-Christian of.</p>
<p>I have all those times when I would go to the library and do internet there and come across creationism sites that gets my goat every time. Then come home ranting constantly about what I saw. And I admit a tad  few times did I regard the creationists as "Jackasses" (pardon my "French") who don't care when they hurt people like me every time they force-fed lies and deceit down the throats of people against their will. When I first heard of Answers in Genesis, it was on a Christian radio station where once in awhile, they would air a radio short featuring Ham parading all of his lies and spreading weasel words in disguise as the message of salvation to get people into following his ways. To think, one minute of crap can really linger for the rest of the day. You try to forget, but it's there in your head, driving you mad. Ham seems to be everywhere all over the Christian net. He most certainly master the art of manipulating people even children into following his ways. He certainly knows how to speak their language thus making it easy for him and his cronies to fill their minds with lies. When I first search on the internet for dinosaurs, one of the first things I ever saw is sites that favor creationism and the their idiot beliefs on dinosaurs before I landed on the very first 2 authentic dinosaur sites, <a href="http://www.dinosauria.com/">Dinosauria On-line</a> and <a href="http://www.dinosaursociety.com/">The Dinosaur Society</a> website. It seems already since the advent of internet access, creationists are among the first to take advantage of the internet and build sites that spread lies about dinosaurs, evolution and everything else in between. It seems they're everywhere on the net with no one to stop them-- at least until I discovered <a href="http://www.noanswersingenesis.org.au/">No Answers in Genesis</a> website. The moment I saw the link, I dove into the site at once and began to browse around and find nifty articles that prove to be a big help in, slowly, but surely, get me out of this creationism dungeon and into mental freedom.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>There is no joy in creationism</strong>. Let me say it again, There is <em>no joy</em> in creationism! Instead there is pure hatred, anger, and rage in and around the area. If there is joy in creationism, then the only joy in creationism is nothing but a false and fleeting sense of it. What you're going to read is a sworn testimony to the unbending truth that there is absolutely no joy in creationism coming from no other than myself who have been through it all.</p>
<p><strong>Creationism is all of the Devil</strong>. It never came from God to begin with. Even the Devil is known to use God's Word to destroy the lives and the faith in Jesus Christ and promoting dangerous, false, lying doctrines of creationism is among the best examples of this.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Before all this took place I knew to ever begin with that the concept of dinosaurs living alongside humans thousands of years ago is entirely false and only exist in fantasy. When I first heard the claim on children's program on Family Life Radio which is a Christian radio station near where I live, I just simply said, "That's a lie!" and brushed it off. When I looked at a few creationist book on dinosaurs, I paid only attention to dinosaur art and overlook everything else. But things all changed in the summer of 1992 when Stefen my baby brother brought home 3 creationist books that belonged to some neighbor friends  from down the street that I've debunked in my previous articles on this blog,<em> The Great Dinosaur Mystery and the Bible, Noah's Ark and the Lost World</em>, and <em>Dinosaurs Those Terrible Lizards</em>. After looking at the books, I told mom how I disagree with the books and explain to her that God created the dinosaurs and put them in a world of their own. Mom just simply said, "Oh." at first. But when we started to talk about it again, that's when she began to accuse me of rejecting the Truth (I was not rejecting the Truth, she is!). When I told her what I told her a short while back, she objected to it and as far as I can remember she started to making it as if what I long embraced since 1st grade was wrong and what creationists claimed in the book was right. And then she asked me, "Am I challenging you?" Sure she challenged me alright-- challenging me to have a strong desire for anger, rage, and vengeance. How dare she try to disgrace me and force me to comply with the creationists and all their lies against my will! :mad: Before all this, she was highly supportive of me and my way of embracing dinosaurs (she still is) and have gone to school to hear me lecture on dinosaurs to the whole class. I used to go and lecture on dinosaurs with great confidence. Nowadays, I have feelings of dread going to lecture on dinosaurs out of fear that a whole group of kids would get unruly (Believe me, one class room did got unruly at one time to the point where I has to ask, "Are you listening?" which is enough for them to straighten up and pay attention to what I'm teaching them) and rise up and tell me, "I'm a liar, Where you there?, God created everything, that's not what I've been told, God's Word it true," etc. This one little incident between me and mom that I never saw coming and never lasted more than 5 minutes have created a long, huge, lasting impression that I carried for almost 16 years and is now trying to come to terms with it before moving on with life.</p>
<p>What she really did was trying to make me see 2 different sides of the view and to "test the spirits" to see which one is the right point of view to embrace and which is not. But I misunderstood her. I took it as a threat, an attempt to force-feed creationism crap down my throat and convert me into creationism against my will all because of the way she said things to me that gave me the impression that she's trying convert me into accepting young earth horse crap and all its lies against my will. If she would've told me what she was trying to tell me in a different way to the point of having me completely understand what she was trying to say, I would've never been through what I've been through in the past 15 in a half years.</p>
<p>The truth is what the 3 books teach is not really points of view at all, but blatant lies in disguise as "points of view" and/or "opinions". Creationists would try to present two points of view and let the viewers decide on what to embrace. What they really promote is just a one-sided issue which they use to direct their audience to their side and their side only. They cloaked it as a two-sided issue and make the other side look bad and evil in their favor while making their own side look truthful and innocent like a newborn baby while uselessly trying to use the bible to explain things the bible is in fact entirely neutral on to begin with. They like to make science and evolution look bad and evil while creationism is bad and evil enough as it is. With nothing but false opinions, blatant lies, and emotionally charged propaganda, they direct the people to their own side and convert them to be one of them.</p>
<p>Because of that huge misunderstanding, albeit miscommunication, I was forced into the dungeons of creationism. Since then, I became engrossed with anger, defensiveness, babbling and fighting with myself on and on over the ordeal, fantasizing myself committing acts of murder on mom, Gary, Stefen, especially Ken Ham, Duane Gish, and anyone else who advocate creationism out of vengeance, and developed extreme sensitivity towards morality, social worldviews and the Christians' perspective towards them and became susceptible to Christian Fundamentalism, including being extremely sensible and susceptible to both the emotional melancholy-style music played by Greg Buchanan and to emotional preachings about life being too short, getting mad over freedom of religion being violated in public schools, getting mad over false remarks about evolution, being terrified over a windstorm in November of 1998, and above all being terrified of the Y2K crisis that never occurred being paraded about by the 700th Club. I've tried to call them and ask them to pray for me to get a harp, but the answer never came unlike what I've seen on the show.</p>
<p>I would get embroiled in anger and rage even when I was drawing dinosaurs, something I otherwise enjoy immensely and became extremely sensitive to moral and social issues in all sorts of media and developed a tendency to get stress headaches over news reports and stores of violent crime, murder, gang violence, domestic violence, students being denied practicing religious beliefs in school as a direct violation of the 1st amendment to the constitution, scenes of immorality in movies and TV shows, seeing and hearing of profanity in albums, books, Tv shows, and films (I am extremely sensible to profanity and exposure to private parts), and criminals grabbing the innocent and threating them with their guns pointed to their heads, criminals abusing, raping, and beating women (even the sounds of it), Christians suffering persecution, Christians being demonized in so many TV shows that parades anti-god message without shame and other things that I would otherwise never allow to bother me and pay no attention to.</p>
<p>Like so many Christians, I too went along and prayed to God that this nation will turned back to God and become a Christian Nation, assuming this is a wicked nation that's turning away from God. I even read from a book I believe to be entitled <em>This is America</em> by a some Christian Fundamentalist that it is claimed this nation started turning away from God when 1960s' decade began (and I believed it for awhile). That claim was even heard on Christian radio such as <em>The Adventures in Odyssey</em> radio show, the same program that claims that the Apostle Peter warns the reader in the Bible about evolution in 1 Peter 3 which I know for the fact that the claim is entirely false.</p>
<p>I suffered minor mental breakdowns when I began to carelessly handle dinosaur toys, books, drawings, and certain action figures like Mega Man and Voltron force member Pidge. When I see even a small flaw or a tiny speck, I would try to fix it with paint and colored permanent markers only to find them dissatisfactory, so I would make more changes to make them as satisfactory as I can make them only to get frustrated with them to the point where I would get so attached to them that I would try to fix them only to ruin the product and I would finally throw them all away after spending hours trying to clean up the markings that don't come off no matter how hard I tried, regretting ever handling them the way I handled them. Plus, every time I use permanent markers on my dinosaurs they always leave unwanted marks on other dinosaur toys that I would otherwise leave well enough alone when I piled them up in drawers and boxes assuming the permanent markers dry up on them quickly.</p>
<p>A few years before the creationism ordeal, I would cut off parts of the dinosaur toy to make it more accurate and closer to the real versions of the dinosaurs such as cut off sharp teeth in herbivorous dinosaurs, cut off extra fingers from T.rex toys, trim off some additional plastic, only to sometimes trim off features that I didn't want trimmed off, and cut off spikes, plates, and everything else that didn't really belong to the dinosaur. Now afterwards I do these things only to regret it when I find myself rendering my toy collection as crap worth throwing away. I also regret cutting and trimming the dinosaur toys before the ordeal began and want to start all over and take better care of the toys. I wanted to give them all away, but Gary and mom didn't want me to because they say if I give them away, I will only want them back. I objected to that because in my view all they want to do is to make me be a clutter queen like the rest of the family which I rather not be. At times I did had clutter in my room, so I had to give them all away to clean up my room and make my life much better and well organized. I had too much dinosaurs in my collection so I gave away most of my collection, including the ones with markers on them, and keep the best ones for myself. It took me awhile due to constant hindrance from Gary and mom, but eventually was able to tone down my dinosaur collection and got rid of the ones I don't want anymore so that now my collection is looking better than before.</p>
<p>Here's another true confession, I'm a sucker for dinosaur art. It doesn't matter if they're anatomically incorrect or not, I'm all for dinosaur art, especially the classic type. So when I was thrust into this creationism dungeon, I became deluded into going after dinosaur art as done by creationists (especially the not-so-accurate dinosaur artwork well drawn for Duane Gish's <em>Dinosaurs by Design</em>) along with their distortions of dinosaur hoaxes made to look deceivingly real which I bawled over when I tried to look at them again, yet I was able to maintain a sense of reality knowing the artwork and the photograph images is all nothing but wrong. I began to really be discern over how people drawn dinosaurs when I went and seen <em>Jurassic Park</em> and resented it the whole year of 1994 because of what I saw and heard in the film that I didn't approve of and how creationism have clouded my perspective of it being a fun sci-fi movie to watch. That remark of "God created the dinosaurs, God destroyed the dinosaurs..." is what really got me to say goodbye to Jurassic park and left the theater and bitterly resent going there for the next few years.</p>
<p>When I'm under stress and/or get tense thoughts, I would get so tense and stressed that I would rock back and forth, loudly hum, grit and/or grind my teeth, and shake my arms and hands. A lot of times, I would get so stressed and so much like a grouch that at times I would mostly take it out on my mom, for forcing me into this, along with my 2 brothers Gary and Stefen who used to mostly had the tendency to pick fights with me and hurl insulting names at me (which almost always leads to a quick response, "I am not a ["big fat cow, stupid fat cow, stupid, idiot, brat"]). Even before I was forced into this creationism crap, I often have sibling fights between me and my 2 brothers, with the 2 brothers being the ones who started it all (True Confession: It was I who started the sibling rivalry between me and Stefen when I started wiggling his ears the moment he came out of the hospital and got into the car. Hey! I couldn't help it! His ears all stick out! I wiggled ears of some other kids as well, only to get a backlash for my mom, Stefen, and Gary who also starts sibling rivalry fights possibly out of jealously, because of my mental challenging state, and just for kicks.)!</p>
<p>This is all before I come in contact with sites that reveal the dark side of Christianity which tells me that Christianity is not all about living good, righteous, godly lives in an dark and evil world.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The last part of the article is where he really goes out of his mind by throwing away the dinosaur subject so he can get on with his psychotic, demagogic rants. The rest of his article just comes to show how Ken Ham, who's really more of a self-righteous, bigoted demagogue, who just rants maliciously over everything from poodles to dinosaurs, than a creationist, is no different than any abusive, destructive, bigoted church paster who uses video games, Jewish people, Rock n' Roll and other types of cultural icons, people of different races, and certain movements as scapegoats for all the bad things going on in the world and people being turned off from church and religion, while being blind and ignorant to their own actions, rants, and dogma that are the real culprits behind the complete rejection of the Christian church, Christianity in general, and all atrocities committed against society.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://greatdinosaurmystery.wordpress.com/2007/12/20/from-the-false-answers-book-part-2/">From my sister blog</a>-- Last post, I did the first part of pretty lengthy article debunking Ham's method of how creationists and evolutionists look at the same thing yet have a different point of view on it. Trouble with this logic is that creationists don't really look at actual fossils at all. Instead they rely on what they made up from their heads and put down on paper. They also used old fashioned dinosaur books and other outdated sources to build a weak, losing case against the evolutionists who just laugh it all off every time they see what they're thrown at by the creationists. Now I'll get on the dinosaur claims in which the next segment, entitled Dinosaur History, starts out,</p>
<p>"<em>Fossil bones of dinosaurs are found around the world. Many of these finds consist of just fragments of bones, but some nearly complete skeletons have been found. Scientists have been able to describe many different types of dinosaurs based on distinctive characteristics, such as the structure of the skull and limbs."</em></p>
<p>Rightfully so! Especially since this counters a well known creationist claim that says all dinosaur fossils were known from a single piece of bone. But the next paragraph is where the truth ends here.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://greatdinosaurmystery.wordpress.com/2007/12/16/from-the-false-answers-book-part-1/">From my sister blog</a> -- As a Christian, I believe the Bible to be the infallible Holy Word of God. I believe the Bible to be true and flawless. It is perfect in every way like Mary Poppins, even though I can not deny the fact that there are indeed a lot of passages that conflict with one other, passages that don't make sense if taken too literally, and passages that contain content that's not suitable for children and sensitive people.</p>
<p>And the way creationists deal with the Bible is entirely blasphemous. It is highly evident that creationists don't follow the Bible. They only follow parts of the Bible that suit their own means. Every time they make statements such as, "The Bible is true; The Bible is God's Word;" and "God's Word is infallible," it all clearly translate to, "My word is true; The Bible is my word; My word is infallible;" and so on. This is exactly what those phrases translates to every time Ken Ham and all other YE creationists says things like "The Bible is flawless." in their writings as well as in other forms of media.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Creationists, blind to their own sins and hypocrisy, are no better than anybody else. All of them are guilty of heresy, hypocrisy, fraud, perjury, blasphemy, lying for God, obstruction of religion, mythology, and most of all science, and committing acts of terrible abuse on children, young and old, making them so deluded and warped that they can never even tell a dinosaur from a dragon let alone fact from fantasy.</p>
<p>According to them, the Bible is true — <strong>after it is twisted, fabricated, and distorted to become exactly what they want out of it. </strong></p>
<p>The Bible <strong>is</strong> true. But, not the way creationists wanted it to be. Creationists claim that all must follow the Bibl, yet they don't follow the Bible themselves. They only follow Genesis 1-11 passages, various Bible verses that agrees with their dogma, skip other verses that speak otherwise, and that's it.</p>
<p><strong>Young earth creationism is, with no exception, entirely everything creationists regard evolution and the concept of “millions of years” as.</strong></p>
<p><strong>And creationists who believe it are, without exception, entirely everything they accuse evolutionists, old earth, gap, and progressive creationists, and theistic evolutionists of.</strong></p>
<p>That’s not all. <strong>Young Earthism is all of the Devil</strong>. One of the infamous tactics Satan use to deceive people and destroy their relationship with God. He tricks Ham into thinking that what they teach comes from God and what they teach completely agrees with the Bible 100%, while in fact it actually comes from the Devil himself and there are lots and lots of claims, statements, and teachings made up by creationists <a href="http://www.edwardtbabinski.us/common_sense/bible_science.html">that greatly contradicts the Bible itself</a>. (i.e. Noah taking up babies while he’s supposed to take all adults and sexually mature animals up the ark and dinosaurs outside the ark survived the first 150 days of the flood before perishing while all life outside the ark was supposed to die during the 40 days and 40 nights it rained.)</p>
<p>It is really the creationists who are causing people to doubt (even lose) their faith in God when they are told that the world is thousands of years old and dinosaurs lived with man and yet turn around and see the true evidence pointing them to the opposite. Creationists are guilty of telling people to believe their teachings because they come from God and all of what they teach is 100% God-breathed. The creationists deceive the people into believing that if it agrees with the bible, and the Bible is right on everything, and that it comes from God, who never lies but always tells the truth about what they claim about dinosaurs, the age of the earth, morality, dating methods, dietary habits, extinctions, etc., then it must be so because they all come from God who is an honest being 100% and clearly confirms what the Bible says about the past. The truth of the matter is that everything creationists taught about science, history, and Christianity is all 100% Devil-breathed. False, wrong and fill of blatant, stupid lies. They are misusing, abusing, and destroying Christianity, God, His Word, world history, and science to gain power and control over The Christian world. They claim that God is telling the truth when he said dinosaurs once lived with man, while all records, fossil, scientific, religious, and historical records have clearly shown us time and time again that God is a liar when they reveal to us the exact opposite of what creationists claim about what God has said about it.</p>
<p>An absolute mockery of science and natural history museums throughout the world, this place, The [sic] Creation Museum and Family Research Center, what I rather call the world’s only legalized crackhouse in the US (but not the first one since there are some smaller, yet older crackhouses out there quite like it, including John Morris’ crackhouse in California and Carl Baugh’s crackhouse in Glen Rose, Texas.), claims to have the absolute truth about history, religion, and science while what they really have is absolute blatant stupid lies that only come from the creationists’ heads. The way they built that place makes you swear they did it to compete with real scientific institutions, natural history museums, and other places of science for the minds of the public.</p>
<p>They want to be everything they are not and put science to “shame”, claiming that it’s about time for them to expose to the world what science and evolution is all about according to them, saying that the world is exposed to the “lies” <em>*waving 2 fingers each in the air*</em> evolutionists tell to them long enough. But the truth of the matter is that every rhetoric, every dogma, every dogma they teach, stated, and reveal is absolutely everything they regard evolution and the concept of “millions of years” as. This crackhouse is not like any other crackhouses out there. Once the admission fee is paid, the visitor would get their brains and their hearts blown away by exposures to pot, crack-cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, LSD, morphine, methamphetamine, and opium in form of warped religious dogma that teaches the world is 6,000 years young and dinosaurs once lived with man and are the dragons told in folklore, legends, myths, and fairy tales, all fossils are 4,500 years old; as old as the Pyramids of Egypt, and evolution is the source of all of the problems of the world.</p>
<p>According to the Wiki article about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Answers_in_Genesis">Ham’s idiot empire</a>,</p>
<p><em>In dealing with Christendom’s own violent history, AIG asserts that anyone using the Bible to justify atrocities (such as the Crusades, the colonization of the New World, pogroms, the burning of ‘witches,’ the Wars of Religion etc.) are ‘completely contrary to the teachings of Christ.’</em></p>
<p>All while being blind to the fact that what Ham himself teaches are exactly what they assert about those who use the Bible to justify atrocities. Everything Ham and other creationists teach is destroying the cause of Christ by <a href="http://mysteryofiniquity.wordpress.com/2007/04/21/love-the-bible-hate-the-bibliolatry/">making the bible into an idol god</a> and using it to justify their lies about dinosaurs, the Earth, evolution. They <a href="http://members.aol.com/dwise1/cre_ev/index.html">set Christians up for the Fall</a>, <a href="http://www.noanswersingenesis.org.au/creation_and_racism.htm">being prejudice</a>, even towards anyone who don’t agree with their views, <a href="http://lippard.blogspot.com/2007/05/creationism-racism-and-eugenics.html">practice eugenics,</a> <a href="http://duoquartuncia.blogspot.com/2007/06/answers-in-genesis-lawsuit.html">teach love and unity while creating dissension among themselves</a>, and so much more.</p>
<p>All of what they teach is false and hypocritical for they do the exactly everything they accuse evolutionists of, including the accusation of scaring the public against creation scientists by using emotionally charged language while Ham and other themselves turns around and does the exact same thing - scaring the public against Charles Darwin, evolution, evolutionists, scientific reality, factual evidence against young earthism, and all other forms of reality by using emotionally charged language, brainwashing, dangerous heresies, warped delusions, and above all painful indoctrinations to a world that never was.</p>

<p>This is not dinosaur related but, worth noting. AiG creationists in <a href="http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/nab/why-christians-shouldnt-accept-millions">this idiot article</a> gives out about 9 reasons why should Christians reject the adhoc phrase "millions of years" and conform to their young earth dogmatic ways while ignoring empirical evidence which says there's truth to the adhoc phrase. Written by Terry Mortenson for Ham's updated Answers Book, these 9 no-good reasons are really no reasons at all. There just empty excuses made up to explain why Christians is to bow to their ways and be ignorant of the truth surrounding it and make them deal with controversies that's really non-existent.</p>
<p>To start off the article Terry writes,</p>
<blockquote><p><em>"There is an intensifying controversy in the church all over the world regarding the age of the earth. For the first 18 centuries of church history, the almost universal belief of Christians was that God created the world in six literal days roughly 4,000 years before Christ and destroyed the world with a global </em><em>Flood</em><em> at the time of Noah</em>."</p></blockquote>
<p>Which is a blatant lie made to cover up the fact that this concept was invented a little over 140 years by Ellen G. White who founded the Seventh Day Adventist cult religion. She founded this cult to observe the Sabbath on the seventh day of the week which is Saturday. According to one of her literature books, she, at one time, claims to have allegedly saw a vision from God who showed her how he made the universe in 6th 24-hour days and the fossils were made by the Flood of Noah. She start preaching this alleged vision to her followers and it didn't take long for her to gain some following among her church. At first, Young earth creationism was restricted to only the SDA, at least until the late Henry Morris got a hold of her young earth teachings and the rest is history.</p>
<p>He then went on,</p>
<blockquote><p><em>"But about 200 years ago some scientists developed new theories of earth history, which proposed that the earth and universe are millions of years old. Over the past 200 years Christian leaders have made various attempts to </em><em>fit</em><em> the millions of years into the Bible. These include the day-age view, gap theory, local flood view, framework hypothesis, theistic evolution, and progressive creation." </em></p></blockquote>
<p>No person in his/her right mind will say that the earth and the universe is millions of years old. According to empirical evidence, The Earth and the Universe both is <strong>billions of years old</strong>, not millions. What Terry claims is pure strawman.</p>
<p>He then say,</p>
<blockquote><p><em>A growing number of Christians (now called young-earth creationists), including many scientists, hold to the traditional view, believing it to be the only view that is truly faithful to Scripture and that fits the scientific evidence far better than the reigning old-earth evolutionary theory.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>And a much more growing number of Christians throw away the so called "traditional view" when they found out that it was all a lie to begin with. Neither of the so-called "traditional view" is faithful to Scripture, nor does it fit the scientific evidence. Much of what creationists claim greatly contradicts one another. It even contradicts the Bible itself. You will also find that 98% of "scientists" who embrace the young earth view came from backgrounds <strong>other than Earth Science and Paleontology</strong> such as medicine, engineering, astronomy, physics, chemistry, plumbers, mailmen, and so on.</p>
<p>Then Terry claims,</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Many Christians say that the age of the earth is an unimportant and divisive side issue that hinders the proclamation of the gospel. But is that really the case? </em></p></blockquote>
<p>It is. Look at how there are many instances of families, church groups, even work and school groups are having riffs, divisions, and fights within each other over whether either evolution or creationism is true or not in this world. See the great multiple instances of churches wisely avoiding this stuff like the plague all over the earth. And above all, see the <a href="http://www.butler.edu/clergyproject/rel_expert_data_base.htm">many clergymen out there</a> who rejects young earth creationism on the bases of no evidence supporting it.</p>
<p>Terry however lies and says it's not the case and presents the following 9 reasons why Christians must conform to the young earth dogma whether they like it or not:</p>
<p>1. <strong>The Bible clearly teaches that God created in six literal, 24-hour days a few thousand years ago.</strong></p>
<p>Where does it say that in the Bible? The answer is nowhere. Creationists like Terry has made it all up by taking verses out of context and change it to fit their views about it. According to empirical evidence, God created - and modify His work over a period of time, changing what he made into many different forms to fit with the environment He put them in after he created them. Even creationists teach this despite their continuous denial of it in the face of physical evidence.</p>
<p>2. <strong>The context of Genesis 1 clearly shows that the days of creation were literal days.</strong></p>
<p>According to Terry, The Hebrew word "yom" means "day." But it doesn't necessary mean "a 24 hour day." Especially since there are many verses in the Bible that mention "yom" to mean a period of time such as a month, week, year, decades, centuries, millenniums and eons. The reason creationists insist that "yom" refers a normal day is because they wanted it that way. This is their own little way they twist the meanings to certain words around to fit their dogma while ignoring <a href="http://www.godandscience.org/youngearth/longdays.html">the verses in the bible that speaks otherwise</a>. Whether it's a whole day or a period of a million years, it doesn't matter. God's view and our view of days is 2 different things.</p>
<p>3. <strong>The genealogies of Genesis 5 and 11 make it clear that the creation days happened only about 6,000 years ago.</strong></p>
<p>They do as long as <a href="http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/07/070711-egypt-artwork.html">the historical artifacts</a> and <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/1763950.stm">evidence of ancient civilizations</a> existing before 6,000 years are greatly ignored and denied of their existence.</p>
<p>4. <strong>Exodus 20:9–11 blocks all attempts to fit millions of years into Genesis.</strong></p>
<p>It does as long as <a href="http://www.godandscience.org/youngearth/dayagedefense.html#Sabbath">the other Sabbaths</a> the Israelites are told to observe are greatly ignored and denied of their existence.</p>
<p>5. <strong>Noah’s Flood washes away millions of years.</strong></p>
<p>Really? Then why are the stains of "millions of years" still there? Especially when dating methods, such as <a href="http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/dating.html">radiometric dating</a>, can clearly detect them by the many tons load? If the young earth is true, and it's not, Noah's Flood would have washed away more than just "millions of years" -- it will wash away "thousands of years," too and everything else in between. Fish, insects, coals reefs, plants (no matter if they're vegetable mats, seeds, or floating trees), bones, cities, towns, farmland, villages, forests, everything would all be completely wiped out, leaving behind acidic water, disease, predation, starvation, and a global desert wasteland filled with nothing but rotting, dead life-forms to finish the passengers off, both man and beast, the moment they leave the ark. This is creationists' own definition of "A Loving God" and His Judgment on a wicked world.</p>
<p>6. <strong>Jesus was a young-earth creationist.</strong></p>
<p>It makes no difference whatsoever. It's the same as saying, "Jesus was a old-earth creationist; Jesus was a Jew; Jesus was a conservative; Jesus was a evolutionist; Jesus was anti-Semitic; Jesus was a liberal; Jesus was a man; Jesus was a god; and other "Jesus was a..." statements people like young earth creationists made up to conform Him to their definition of what religion should be all about.</p>
<p>7. <strong>Belief in millions of years undermines the Bible’s teaching on death and on the character of God.</strong></p>
<p>Rather belief in thousands of years undermines the Bible’s teaching on death and on the character of God. Without doubt, the teachings of young earth creationism portrays God as an evil, bumbling, merciless, deity who failed to take away physical death along with spiritual death from both animals (despite their inability to sin and reason) and people when He sacrificed His Son on the Cross (He only took away spiritual death when He did that.) and set everything up for the Fall by giving animals and people features to use to do things He forbade them to do in the post-Fallen world, like practicing predation for instance. Then, He goes about destroying the animals and people for the things He instigated on them to set everyone of them up for the fall with the worldwide Flood and its devastating aftermath...all because He's sorry He ever made them; sorry He made animals to be predators with sharp teeth and claws and a stomach for only red food; sorry He made man to be excellent thinkers who will go on to discover how ancient the Earth and the Universe truly is; sorry He made carnivorous plants; sorry He made all sorts of bacteria that help and hurt; sorry He made fertilizers from human and animal excrement for plants to feed on; sorry He made hair from dead cells; sorry He made the Tree of Life when there was no death and decay occurring before the Fall; sorry He made the body to digest meals; sorry He made everything else he could care less about including the universe and everything in it He made Himself. It is a everything they claim "millions of years" does while ignoring their own hypocrisy found within their own dogmatic propaganda.</p>
<p>8. <strong>The idea of millions of years did not come from the scientific facts. </strong></p>
<p>Rather, the idea of thousands of years did not come from scientific facts, but from religious zealots who wanted to make the Bible to be exactly what they wanted it to be while throwing out and ignoring everything that contradicts it. Where did they get the concept of 6,000 years is real simple, 4,000 years after Creation + 2,000 after the Birth of Christ, but that still doesn't make all physical evidence for history beyond 6,000 years go away. The [sic] idea of long ages, in the creationists' eyes according to Terry, was developed by deistic and atheistic geologists in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries who used antibiblical (translate to anti-young earth creatical or yecreatical) philosophical and religious assumptions (translates to anything that doesn't agree with the young earth dogma) to interpret the geological observations in a way that plainly contradicted the biblical account of creation, the Flood, and the age of the earth as told through the eyes of the young earth creationists, never mind the fact that all those [sic] "deistic and atheistic geologists" attended church, read the Bible, acknowledged the Bible to be The Word of God and worshiped the Lord with all their might and never mind the countless discoveries of valid evidence which lead those people to use anti-yecreatical philosophical, natural, and religious affirmations to interpret the geological observations in a way that plainly contradicts the imaginary young earth account of creation, the Flood, and the age of the earth, and acknowledge the Earth as being much more ancient than anyone could ever imagined.</p>
<p>9. <strong>Radiometric dating methods do not prove millions of years</strong></p>
<p>Wishful thinking, guys. Radiometric dating methods <a href="http://gondwanaresearch.com/rate.htm">do not prove thousands of years, either despite RATE's stupid assertions about it</a>. Just because radiometric dating methods didn't work on a few, tiny examples, doesn't mean it won't work on every example that's out there. This is an example of false reasoning that says that if it doesn't work on one or two things, then it doesn't work on everything else.</p>
<p>It's the same as if to say that if a key doesn't start one car, then it won't start every car; if the shoe won't fit, then all parts of a clothing set won't fit; if one part of a food dish sucks, then all parts of the food dish sucks; and so on. This kind of reasoning gives one a false impression that if one is not to be trusted, then all is not to be trusted, never mind the other cars that do work when the key is inserted into the hole, never mind the pants and shirt that fits onto the body perfectly, and never mind the other ingredients in the foods that do taste delicious. These are some examples of how creationists would treat evolution and scientific methods the very same way.</p>
