two of every animal (seven in some cases) upon the ark. We can go ahead and assume dinosaurs were included into this. But what happened to the others? Simple. They drowned. Most would have been covered in tons of mud due to the rampaging waters. I mean, can imagine a flood induced by the wrath of God? I think He'd be able to bury those suckers pretty deep. Due to the quick burial, most would have been preserved as fossils. If this happened, you could expect to find evidence of tons of dead things in rock layers all over the Earth. And you do. This flood occurred just over 4,500 years ago. Creation Scientists (Which are just scientists who believe in creation rather than evolution. They are still relevant sources), believe that this created most of the fossils. For the ones that didn't drown, there are variety of theories. The starved to death, the overate, they were poisoned, couldn't reproduce, volcanic ash, mass suicide, parasites, shrinking brain, changes in air

As for dinosaurs. Of course there is an understanding of them. Most of this is going to be focused from Genesis. They would have been created at the same time as any other land or sea mammal. During the six days of creation. Evolutionists would say they developed millions of years ago, but evolution can't jump. And given the time between then and now, these evolutions would have to been giant leaps in order to produce the evidence they claim to have. Besides this, there really isn't proof of this asteroid. Do you know a scientist that was there to witness this? I don't. The fact is, it's a theory. Like most of science. Now, I'm not dissing science. There are some really smart people and most of the theories are quite relevant. But it's a theory nonetheless. As for why we find fossils, in Genesis 6, we read that all flesh (Man and Animals) had “corrupted his way upon the Earth”. They had become wicked due to sin. Because of this, God sent the flood. Now, we all know that he sent

Hello Norman. How are you today? I'm fine thanks. Midterms are here, so that's a pain, but you know.
Wit beyond measure is a man's greatest treasure, as they do say.
“No one with any real expertise in archeology accepts it. Anyone else irrelevant.”
That's not fair to say. I'm sure there are Archeology experts that do keep it as a candidate. You can't just exclude someone as irrelevant. They are an expert and their opinion matters. That's like me saying 'Oh, I hate math, so I'm just going to ignore Ptolemy’s rules one mathematical theories in music'. That's just throwing out a major argument and you need to understand that people are going to recognize that other side. I understand if you don't agree, but you need to be able to defend your answer more than saying that they're irrelevant. They exist. They are experts. They have an opinion on the subject. They are therefore relevant.

I was unaware of the conclusive study on the Ark, however I believe that they are still accepting it as a candidate. Anyways, the bible is consistent with areas of science. Paleontology, for example. Dinosaurs are referred to twice in Job and once in Psalm. What happened to them? Who knows, but science is weary of that too, right? Scholars also note that statements can be consistent with Anthropology. Job 30: 5-6, for example. Now, the men weren't 'ape-men', but descendents from the scattered people of Babel. They were driven from the community and for some reason deteriorated mentally, physically, and spiritually. That's not hard to believe. If you go to some of the worse parts of America, you can see this as well. Also, keep in mind that the book is like 2000-3000 years old. Look at some of the scriptures. Isaiah 40:23 "The Earth is a sphere." Science agrees. But what about way back when? Earth is flat. There are tons of examples. I did not address the prophecies, too long.

You're kidding right? They found Noah's ark in the Turkish mountains. People admit that genesis is fairly accurate the first few chapters. Scientists admit that a man name Jesus walked the earth and was crucified. Biblical prophecies are occurring in modern history. Some even believe that 9/11 was a fulfilled prophecy. nonetheless, the bible is accurate.

Do you know how many times a day you touch your face or lips or eyes? A lot. You may not even think about it. But sweat glands never stop doing (at least I think, assuming I recall anatomy correctly). Sweat aside, there's saliva or sneezing. When you sneeze, the particles are blown out so quickly, that you can't see. Very easy to pass on, especially in close contact. As for saliva, most of us tend to release spit when talking. Not a lot, but it only takes a little. It's so easy. It's not a matter of being careful, it's a matter of staying away from everyone.

I've done this twice. Once I was like seven and it was the first time I was doing it myself. The second time was my sophomore year of college because, clearly, I'm incapable of learning

A lot easier than you might think. Sweat for example. Do you know how hot is in Texas? It's highly unlikely that this man didn't sweat and proceed to touch someone

As a resident of Texas, I feel safe in saying that there is more than one case. Pretty sure that Dallas dude infected others.

But I'm not sure it was voted on. The Supreme Court denied cert on it, so they refused to look at the case. I'm not sure what happens after that. I asked my law professor and he explained what the cert was, but I was still confused. I think they have to take it to a district court, like the 9th or 5th circuit, and that judge would decide. Psh, law is confusing.

I am curious though, if the states like Oklahoma are going to attempt to try to revoke it. I mean, they are red states, for the most part. I can't imagine that the governor would just sit back and do nothing. Unless something about being denied cert makes that impossible. It will be interesting to see.

This may be stupid, but I don't keep up with these things... is that dress photoshopped? God I hope it's photoshopped. She looks like some wannabe Morticia Addams.

Because I can not for the life of me figure out why it matters whether we think it's one or two continents, and why it's necessary to be called ignorant because of it. It's a land mass. It's in an ocean. It's on a globe. We can't change it. So I don't understand why it's such a necessity to argue who's right and who's wrong!

On the anthropology. We're referring to the human like creatures discovered, such as Lucy. What can I say? This falls under a theory category. Yes, they exist. But why? Theories clash. I believe it is due to the earlier stated passage. If you continue reading that chapter, it gives a few more details. Not much, but really, being thrust out of a community and struggling for survival. You might surprised what it could do to a man. But of course, I don't know for sure.
