That when God was making this planet, he used parts and pieces from OTHER planets that no longer pleased him. That he mish-mashed these OTHER parts to make Earth. That the PROOF of this is Dinosoaur bones, and petrified wood, wich obviously came form another planet because dinosaurs could NEVER seriously have lived here. God would not allow for such beasties that would eat humans when humans have been created here to RULE.

I would truly LOVE to hear the other belief systems from hard core Christians concerning THIS very subject.......espescially since the OTHER conversation I has was truly mind boggeling IMO.......
Please, would some of you tell us all your explainations on this matter??

As far as dinosaurs and other animals eating people. It was after the flood that animals and mankind had enmity put between them. Up until that point ALL animals were vegetarian, even dinosaurs.

So how do you account for all those dinosaurs which have fangs [and jaw structures] for tearing meat and not molars for grinding vegetation? Were they just decoration?

Gen9:2
2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth [upon] the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered."
Pro 26:11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, [so] a fool returneth to his folly.
...
2Pe 2:22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog [is] turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

I would believe he created mountains, craters, oceans, and rock formations to entertain us. If flat land is boring to us, it most certainly would be boring to God.

Its interesting that you selected the Grand Canyon as your example, because recently the government run visitor centeres for the Grand Canyon have started to carry a booklet that explains its formation in creationist mythology.
Bascically they insist that it was formed by flooding, if not The Flood of Noah itself. Absurdly, they cite fossil layers that were formed by flood deposits, within the canyon sequence itself, as evidence of this.

The Christian Church.
The "official" birthday of the earth was October 23rd, 4004 BC pretty much from the 1600's (as a result of the combination of "scholarly science" to religion) to as late as 1970 when the Gideons still carried the chronology of the Universe by Bishop Ussher in every Bible they placed.
And fundamentalists wonder why their "theories" aren't taken seriously.

where the people there spend their life searching for the answers to these questions from a christian perspective.

I wonder if sometimes why people choose to believe evolution and the billions of years it says are needed for things to happen is because we(christian and nonchristian) make God too small in power.

There is no way that megalodon sharks were herbivorous. Please source your arguments. I'm quite familiar with the Bible, and I am not aware of any passages that state that before Noah's flood, all animals ate plants.
