A virtually complete mammoth is to go on display soon, a Tyrannosaurus skeleton, also virtually complete found in Montana, is also due to make an appearance.
How do religious folk square their beliefs that everything was created by God a few thousand years ago, when, in the case of mammoths, their existence terminated around 13000 years ago, and the T Rex around 65 million years past?
This is directed at some fundamentalist Christians, in the main, and Muslims, although there are a myriad of other faiths with similar views.

Where does it say this in any modern day Christian doctrine??

Two of each animal that God created went onto the ark, yes?

So where were the Dinosaurs?

Where is this is the New Testament? I think you'll find that for a very long time that Christianity has seen the Old Testament as a collection of fairy stories to give people a handle on things a couple of thousand years ago - along similar lines to people in the middle ages being told that the world is flat - it is just about understanding at that time.

I think im right in believing Jewish and Muslim people also believe the old testament. The new testament is the splinter cell

Those of the Jewish persuasion believe the earth is around 6000 years old and God created many worlds and went with the one he was happiest with and yes an explanation of fossils and dinosaur bones etc is that God put them there when he was creating the earth to make it more interesting for us. Or something like that


(im not Jewish, was just told this by a someone that was, very interesting guy and the Jewish people have some very interesting beliefs, as Im sure lots of religions do)

Ah, the never-ending circle of infallible delusion, haven't seen that one in a bit. The Devil put that one there too.

I am intrigued by the idea of how the bite of the forbidden apple from the tree is actually symbolic of a DNA mixing event between extraterrestrials and early hominids, giving hominids a new found ability to acquire intelligence.

It's like the birds and the bees way of extraterrestrials saying, well, we reconfigured your dioxyribose nucleic acid chain by adding new RNA on the nth chain of your DNA tree, do....you....understand???

There is just a big gap in the evolution of intelligence that what is more plausible is outside interference. We have been living with apes for many centuries and none so far have shown as much capacity to develop further intelligence, while we humans seem to become more intelligent in leaps and bounds.

Apes are still hairy /furry though, that's why they are stuck at a lower intelligence level.

The bible makes no mention of the numbers.
