Paleontology – The study of past geological periods as known from fossil remains, (dinosaurs).
If history repeats itself, I am so getting a dinosaur! (Anonymous)
Dinosaurs.
There are few things in this universe that conjures up mystery, awe, and a sense of wonder than dinosaurs.
Whether in a book, encyclopedia, on television or toys, learning, playing and wondering about dinosaurs was and still is, one of my favorite, childhood memories.
To me, it wasn’t about whether they existed or not on planet Earth…
It was whether or not they really co-existed with humans when they were around.
How awesome would that have been to have one as a pet!
(You would probably have to take them to dinosaur training school to keep them from chewing on all of the furniture and shoes laying around the house…)
Twice.
My interest in dinosaurs continues to this very day…Not in the way a paleontologist is, dealing with all of the bones, but the interest I have hasn’t changed much since I was a kid…
Did humans in fact interact with dinosaurs?
Maybe they did.
And so, as I wrap up this portion of SURTSPaleontology, I would ask that you consider the following…
For a book that is not intended to be a book on science, let alone paleontology, it is quite amazing, not only on the amount of science that is in there, but the validity of the references regarding paleontology, that are in there.
Based on the evidence presented, I would submit to you there is absolutely nowhere in the Bible where the paleontology topics are unfounded. I would also submit to you that there is nowhere in the Bible where any scientific discovery since the Bible was put together, has yet to be proven false, regarding paleontology.
What is truly amazing is the fact that many of the facts above were already in the Bible before man and his science…and paleontology, ‘discovered’ them. In multiple cases, by hundreds or thousands of years.
What other religious book has this record?
The point is this:
While the Holy Bible is of course a religious book first and foremost, clearly, it is much more than that.
