lastnail,

Making more 'scientific' assumptions, again i see.




A scientific process [i.e. proving some hypothesis by examining and evaluating all of the available evidence] demands intellectual honesty and rigour and a willingness to examine every piece of evidence which may be related to a subject/issue.

People who straight-out, refuse to examine [some of the] evidence, because they know that that [some particular] evidence may lead to a conclusion which they do not wish to embrace, are not engaging in the 'scientific' process.

Science [the scientific process] today, has been corrupted by some people in our culture.

Some people, today, are [clearly] using 'something' which they call 'science', as an intellectual tool [as a weapon?] to defend a belief system - their own.

It is clear that some people, are only willing to engage in the 'scientific process' when very particular parts of the evidence agrees with their own preconceived notions, about what is clearly 'obvious'.

And it is clear that some people, will discard conclusions, refuse to entertain conclusions [based on very particular parts of the available evidence], which do not agree with their own preconceived notions, about what is clearly 'obvious'.

That, is not science.

Science, is about truth.

Science, is about not discarding truth, science is about facing and confronting truth.




lastnail asks....


Proverbs 14:16
A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.





Listen up people....
Obviously, dinosaurs are NOT described in the bible.


Q.
How do we know this ???

A.
Because lastnail is a Bible expert !
And i'm sure that we can all assume, that lastnail has read the Bible, many, many times.
Else how would lastnail know, that dinosaurs are not described in the bible ???
/sarc off

Dinosaurs were probably hunted and made extinct by mankind.
e.g.
Where are sabre tooth tigers, and mammoths [and probably many other extinct species], today ???

Dead.



And, by the way, dinosaurs are described in the Bible.

But they are not called 'dinosaurs', in the Bible.

Job 40:15
Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
16  Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
17  He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
18  His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.


He [dinosaurs] had a tail, like a tree [trunk] ?



Are there any creatures alive today that have a 'tail like a cedar [i.e. a tree trunk]'?

"....his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly."

T-rex was clearly a meat eater, but perhaps there were other dinosaurs that, "eateth grass as an ox.", which had large 'loins' [hindquarters] ???

Hi Lisa,
You still need to answer Nail's question:

Quote:



It's a simple question but it shows that your bible is severely lacking in any credibility.

Although the reason jellyfish can navigate around objects without 'eyes' suggests that some of their cells are light sensitive, enabling the animal to determine the existence of an object in its path and take some form of evasive action.

Probably because no cells with sonar capabilities have been discovered within jellyfish, but photo-sensitive cells apparently have been.
