Primitive Baptists don't believe in Dinosaurs

I was just reading that a smaller arm of the Baptist faith hold a belief that Dinosaurs don't exist despite empirical evidence to the contrary. More so they believe that the "Fake" bones and remains ahve been created for the sole purpose of making money... Does anybody take this seriously??

Do you have a Link to this?
Thats just hillarious.
I mean come on.

ive always heard about this and unfortunately knew someone as well who believed that the earth was 5000 years old ive also heard it explained that the fossils were put here to test their faith in god therefore it must be the work of satan

Sadly, thoth, that opinion is all too common in the Born Again segment of the church. A segment I'm proud to say I'm part of. I have asked people who believe this several times to give me scriptual evidence proving that this is true, and to date, no one has been able to.

They tend to refer to the "God created the heavens and earth in 6 days" section of Genisis. I have a very simple retort: "Before the earth was created...How long was a day?"

On the other hand, civilization is 5000 years old. There's archialogical(SP?) evidence supporting that, which is odd, because when I tell that to the people who are telling me the earth is 5000 years old, they tend to be shocked, or disbelieving. They didn't know this theory, that civilization is 5000 years old, yet they had the same figure from somewhere...And for God's children, the earth didn't really begin until civilization did...

of course they deny that is weighted with truth and belive the lie...it's so much eaiser.

and the idea of there being a creature the bible doesn't talk about would seriously # up their narrow belief system.

just tell them about the "fowl that creepeth upon all fours" from the book of leviticus. that'll throw them for a loop. a creature the bible talks about that dosen't exist today!

and thoth, remember the bible says that satan has not the power to create, only to corrupt. it'd take a helluva lot of corrupting to create millions of fossils, just to test the faith of the pitiful christian.

JuanBond,
I'd like to point out, that mentality is not commonly held. And if it is, I have led a blessedly sheltered life. God is truth, Satan the prince of lies. And as Matthew says, you can't fight lies with lies. They've been led astray on this issue, but it's usually the ones who say things like that who have the strongest grasp on the true message among us. Just another attack on them by the prince of lies, using the Truth as a backdrop for his lies. And as we all know, the lies based on truth are the most convincing lies.

I posted this on a similar topic a while back, but it still applies, so I'll repost it:
Dinosaurs do not contradict the Bible, they are in it! So are dragons. These people are so busy coming up with fairytales to mislead their followers and whoever else they can convince that they have completely ignored their own book.
Job 40:15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
Job 40:16 Lo now, his strength [is] in his loins, and his force [is] in the navel of his belly.
Job 40:17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
Job 40:18 His bones [are as] strong pieces of brass; his bones [are] like bars of iron.
Job 40:19 He [is] the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach [unto him].
Job 40:20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
Job 40:21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
Job 40:22 The shady trees cover him [with] their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
Job 40:23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, [and] hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
Job 40:24 He taketh it with his eyes: [his] nose pierceth through snares.

Just because it doesn't call it a "dinosaur" doesn't mean it isn't describing one.

Just because it says bohemeth doesnt mean that they are describing a dinosaur either. They could be describing a Rhinocerous for all we know. I have heard people on this board claim that dinosaurs may not exist. I have heard this theory in other places too. Every time someone says it, it goes straight back to religion. Isnt that strange..being how enlightenment is supposed to come from God.........

yea i could believe it, it would make sense because they are trying to hide how old humanity is

There's a reason that the Tree of Knowledge, has now been changed to the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, hehe... It's because the truth hurts....

Well, if I remember correctly I heard an ats user saying that...
That's just pathetic.

Not only do some Baptist's think that dinosaurs did not exist,but the earth is only 6000 to 10,000 years old. I just don't understand the line of thought of some people. When you base the whole existance of the earth on 1 book,you are going to run into some problems.

It would also mean that dinosaurs and humans would have lived together. Yet for some strange reason we can only find dinosaurs fossils.

It is problematic when you do not understand what the 7 days of the bible means.

Some suggest that it refers to the seven levels of existance rather than a time frame. With the seventh day being in union with the one' or god. We have not got to the seventh day obviously.
