Something I pondered...

A T-Rex is ALOT larger then an Elephant, but I know what you mean.

Also, the dimensions of the ark which are mentioned in the Bible wouldnt have allowed alot of dino species to get on the ark, cause it wasnt tall enough. I read this in Readers Digest...

well the dinos im talking about are not even the large ones like the rex

what about the small egg eaters and other small creatures that were like those and also what about all the insects from that time - i swear when i was a kid i could remember the names of the dinos now i cant remember em at all

just saying there were many species that wouldnt have fit but there were some that would have

sublime brought up a good point with the insects.

but i also have to wonder how did they fit all the different types of incests of the ark, there are well over 1 million different species of insects, some experts say it\'s more like 10million.  also 4000 different species of mammals, 7000 species of reptile, I won\'t mention the birds even though i don\'t imagine many could fly for fourty days, and the fish and amphibians should be able to live in the water.

I have no idea how large the arc was, but it would have to be absolutly gigantic.  what about plant life?  99% of land plants can\'t be submerged for 40 days.

So it all just ends? You cease to exist when you die? What is the purpose of this life then? Why even bother?

Yea it all ends Purpose of life... to live (I don\'t feel any urge to die) and get children so your family/species will survive. Just look at the animals.

If I thought my life sucked, I would just tell/brainwash myself that I get eternal happines etc when I die. That way I wouldn\'t need to go through all the religious stuff
(well I wouldn\'t do this... but you get the idea)

Actually I haven\'t read the bible, so I haven\'t seen these predictions. Well, I read about half of it I think when I was a kid to see what the fuss was all about, thought it was a good story book. But that was a long time ago and I can\'t remember and predictions. In school we also studied all kinds of religions including Christianity, but I still can\'t remember any predicitons :/ Would be great if you could quote some predicitons from the bible, I would love to see them.

Purpose of life is to reproduce. That\'s it. Nothing glamorous. Our purpose is the same as that of ants, cats, elephants, plants, all living things.

But besides that, we make our own purpose in life, something more "noble" if you will, like happiness.

I respect other peoples opinions, so I think that people like Videoholic should respect mine, even if you do think they are different or strange.

Um, there is no reason why I should respect your opinion.  It makes no sense what so ever.

And by the way, this whole ark thing.  No one has brought this up yet.  I know the ark was fairly big, but do you realize how large an arc would need to be to handle 2 of everything.

Do we even need to get into this aspect of this wonderful book of STORIES?

Wanna know what happened with the dinosaurs? I know. There was dinosaurs at one point.. Then God was like hey, these things suck. So he just killed them off. Then he like made us forget everything.. He only gives us hints once in a while.. We have to figure everything out ourself. Know what I\'m saying? If you\'re lost, you\'re lost. God\'s will is for you to be lost. If you\'re found, then you\'re found. It\'s your job to spread God\'s word and stuff like that.

I don\'t know, I really just made up all of that stuff. But really though, I believe that God sent his son to die for us and our sins. If you want to have eternal life, you should live your life serving God. It\'s not really all that hard you know. All you gotta do is like munch on some macaroni and cheese while eating chips at the same time.

Ok, I was lying again. If you want to go to heaven, you have to stick out your tounge and touch your nose. (Hint: Stick out your tounge and touch your nose with a finger).

Ok, that\'s enough. Sorry, I\'m really bored and just wanted to get another post to higher my post count. Go me. :thepimp:

Just because mine may be alittle different to yours is no excuse to be rude.

this coming from someone who worships mariah carey, AND called me an idiot cause i feel sunday is the last day of the week.  you cant ask people to respect yer opinion is its wack

:rolleyes:

perhaps hes just still bitter about the hotornot.com incident

not to mention this was made by one bloke and his sons. The likelihood this little family could feed and support thousands of animals without almost all of them dying is stupid. Also to think the animals (like tigers and hyenas) just walked onto the ark without protest is again fairly strange. The ark itself would have to be more than a mile long I should think.

I respect people who are religious, but people who\'s beleifs are downright stupid are another matter. Dinosaur bones can be carbon dated, the soil it\'s burried in is dated to millions of years old. There is proof that the dinosaurs did not live with man, open your eyes.

You have seen neither dinosaurs nor the Ark Noah built with God\'s help yet you say one is ficticious and the other is true.  You consider carbon-dating proof but recorded events by another human false?  I do not say whether dinosaurs existed or not b/c it is not mentioned in the Bible and bears no consequence on where I spend my eternity.  Yet I do believe in God, the Ark, and the Bible.

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

but the people who wrote those records also had never seen the ark, and were alive hundreds (even thousands) of years later. Noah certainly didn\'t leave any written records.

Neither did the dinosaurs, what\'s your point?

Prove to me that there was not an ark.

Um, there are dinosaur bones.  Haven\'t seen an arc around lately.

Actually Vid, there is a place in Israel somewhere or some place like that where they have found sonic images (its REALLY buried) in the ground that look like a gigantic ark. They are still looking into it or something.

I wonder how well you did in school thinking that we lived in the same time as dinosaurs.

How are dinosuars any different to Sharks or poisonous snakes? I mean, people get killed by sharks and snakes all the time, so naturally, dinosaurs would have killed humans too.

Its not rocket science. I just don\'t see how my opinion is so bogus. No one has given me a VALID reason as to why I am wrong. You just mock me with un intelligent replies, just like Soul Reaver did.

Now I wonder how well YOU did at school.

By the way, I was an A grade student and got an OP 2 (which is in the top 98 percentile).

IE - I did better then 98% of ALL students in Queensland last year (65 000 grade 12\'s got an OP).
