Mad beliefs

19- Well, if I answered that question based in my personal belief system, there'd be a lot wrong with that, the first being that the earth isn't a measly 6000 years old, give or take a few hundred. However, I can't say my beliefs are more important than your own obviously, and perhaps you do think that....? So, can I just say the only problem with that is it doesn't fit Op's frame of thought and it's enough of an issue for him that he can't function around it, perhaps? :)

Wrong, #24. Your beliefs are true even if you did not believe. That makes them fact, not beliefs. So it is perfectly acceptable to mock this girl if she believes in Yeti, gnomes, elves, UFOs, or Jesus. They are all myths which require people to have "faith".

as far as i was aware Jesus was a real person but thats about the extent of the truth. also UFOs are real things becuase it is a flying object 5hwt you cannot recognise. alien spacecraft on the other hand are probably not.

Has nothing to do with his "frame of thought", it has everything to do with "everything we currently know about the universe". You pretty much have to say that almost all of science is completely wrong in order to believe in the "young earth" nonsense. I will take the sum total of human knowledge to date over a 1700ish year old book any day.

True, but I still down voted you. No one's trying to make this a plane of shit-talking people's religions now, boy.

I like how most people seem to have been convinced that you have to respect other people's irrational beliefs. If you don't want to be made fun of for having silly beliefs, don't have silly beliefs.

I'm an atheist, so I see your point, but actually saying it is a great way to alienate a large chunk of the world's population and get the comments for this FML shut down. A little more respect, maybe?

A relationship isn't a mere social interaction, that method doesn't work. If you're with someone who doesn't share at least similar values and opinions on those subjects then it's doomed.

And if the sex is great, we don't care what the hell she believes.

Not everyone is going to give up there beliefs just because someone tries to convince them otherwise.

It's not your place to convince people otherwise. They should see for themselves how things are and form their own opinions and beliefs.

ahhh so you can both burn in agony together. remind me to laugh my ass off when your crying in agony

Yeah, stop her from talking by making her scream!

So, kill her?

Ummm... Nah, boring science stuff will just get me buried too.

boring science in a nutshell- closest living relative to t rex is the chicken.

Well, crocodiles and alligators are living dinosaurs. They've been around since the dinosaurs lived and have evolved very little since then. There's also the coelacanth, which is a prehistoric fish that was thought to have been extinct for millions of years, but it was caught by a fisherman, alive, in the 20th century. This woman likely cites the Behemoth in Job 40:15-24 and the Leviathan in Job 41:1-34, which are dinosaur-like creatures described in the Bible. Now, this doesn't by any means prove that the majority of dinosaurs lived at the same time as humans, or that the earth is only a few thousand years old, or that the Leviathan or Behemoth were real creatures at all (because this same story also describes Satan and God conversing in Heaven, and God speaking to a man, so it takes a lot of faith or willing suspension of disbelief to believe) but it does stand to reason that if crocodiles and alligators are living dinosaurs among humans today, that perhaps other dinosaur species may have survived into early human societies and died out since then. I don't think it's totally unreasonable to believe that more dinosaur species once lived among humans than do today, but it is unreasonable to believe that the earth is only a few thousand years old, or that humans have existed throughout the entirety of the existence of all dinosaur species. However, just because this woman believes something silly, doesn't mean that she's stupid, a bad person, or would be a bad girlfriend. If the worst thing about this woman is that she believes in something silly, and that is making OP think twice about pursuing a relationship with her, I think he should also think twice before claiming that he's in love with her.

Earliest human-like apes appeared about 65,000 years ago. While there may have been dinosaur descendents, they aren't dinosaurs. The animals we associate as 'dinosaurs' lived between the Triassic to Cretaceous approximately 251-65 million years ago, an eon before earliest humans appeared.

Have I been misinformed, then, about crocodiles and alligators? I'm not arguing, I'm genuinely asking. What is the actual difference between dinosaurs and their "descendents" in the prehistoric periods you named? You see, I thought that there were several prehistoric periods in which dinosaurs lived, and that the dinosaurs in later periods were descendents of those in earlier periods, or is that not accurate?
