Here we see bcspace apparently defining the time 'after [which dinosaurs] were created' as the time when they were all dead. So a species is not to be regarded as having been created when it appears in recognisable form, but only when it is extinct.


So you believe T-Rex existed at the same time as homo sapiens? This is the argument you have to make for your point to make any sense.

ROTFLOL!


I think BCSpace isn't really stupid, he's just acting stupid to rile us up.


I hope you are right. Let us remember the post that my comment was addressed to:

Let's see now.... "And all things which were created must have remained in the same state in which they were after they were created".

So at the time of Adam (homo sapiens), what was the state of most (if not all depending on your definition) dinosaurs? Dead, buried, fossilized. And so they would have remained....forever. lol

Can't get much plainer than that!


This clearly seems to suggest, taken with his recent post above, that the time when dinosaurs were 'created' was at the time when he believes Adam to have lived, when they had already been extinct for millions of years.

So dinosaurs were created after they were dead.

I would rather believe that human beings are incapable of maintaining such a palpably nonsensical proposition. So I think bcspace is now simply clowning it up. He does this, I suspect, because his doesn't think reason matters a straw in comparison with his 'testimony'.

Let the reader look, and judge.

Pre-Adamites help big time. Adam and Eve were commanded to RE-plenish the earth. How and you RE anything unless something is there already?

How so? If the created state began at the time of Adam and dinos weren't around, that simply makes them part of the creative process. Heck, you might even be an evolutionary descendent of one.

Again, as I've been saying over and over and over, the only way this works is to use your own, ideosyncratic definition of the word "created", whereby 99.99% of things that have ever lived were never actually "created", since they'd already come and gone before your proposed "creative period" came to a close.

You can move the date of the finished creation forward and back all you want, but the problem you will continue to face....

"And all things which were created must have remained in the same state in which they were after they were created"

So what was the state of the dinos after they were created (say 65 million years ago) at the date (time of Adam) the creation was declared finished? Dead, buried, fossilized.

And so you have brought us full circle again.
