Jesus Is Lord Church Surigao

Here’s a perspective from one atheist…

The fact that a finite human cannot read an infinite number of pages in a book does not say anything about the finite or infinite nature of the universe.

As it happens, most atheists believe that the universe as we know it did have a beginning, with the Big Bang. We don’t yet know what happened before that. Theists don’t know either. Nobody does.

Atheists believe that whatever happened before that has a natural explanation. Theists accept on faith one imaginary supernatural answer that has absolutely no evidence to support it.

Theists then link this imaginary answer to a whole host of other attributes, such as the imaginary supernatural creator also being a moral guide and lawgiver, who intervenes in the day-to-day activities of one species on one planet in one galaxy.

er… Mike, you shouldn’t have read the article in a literal way. The infinite number of pages were meant to be as an example. Just for a note, the author… Charlie H. Campbell was a former atheist and a champion of your cause.

The beginning is not the problem. The problem is that dinosaur is older than the beginning in the bible.

If the Church can explain the Bible, it should have no trouble in explaining the dinosaur.

Here’s what Charlie H. Campbell said regarding the dinosaurs.

“Why aren’t dinosaurs mentioned in the Bible?”

First, we should not expect to see the word dinosaur in the Bible. The term was not coined until a famous paleontologist, Sir Richard Owen, gave them that name in 1841–nearly eighteen centuries after the New Testament was finished. Second, just because a creature is not mentioned in the Bible does not mean that it did not exist. There are thousands of creatures that are not specifically mentioned in the Bible: giraffes, alligators, penguins, just to name a few. Thirdly, the Bible does actually mention at least two different creatures that very well may have been dinosaurs: Behemoth, and Leviathan. Behemoth is described as having a tail like a cedar tree (Job 40:15-19). Of Leviathan, the Lord said to Job, “…indeed, any hope of overcoming him is false; Shall one not be overwhelmed at the sight of him? No one is so fierce that he would dare stir him up….Who can remove his outer coat? Who can approach him with a double bridle? Who can open the doors of his face, with his terrible teeth all around? His rows of scales are his pride” (Job 41:9-10, 13-15a). Scales? Terrible teeth? So fierce that no one would dare wake him up? It is easy to see why numerous Biblical scholars have concluded that Leviathan may have been a dinosaur. ‘
