dinosaurs and the bible

Yes, yes there were. But that's what sparked the question. He was learning Genesis, learned about the world being made in 7 days, He made the animals and plants and flowers (never mentions dinosaurs or the cataclysmic end to their species) and then made man. Maybe it's an interpretation of the timeline? nittanynephew is convinced (and concerned) that what the bible says doesn't leave time for the dinosaurs to have been here. But being the dinophile that he is, he pulls out his dino texts and proceeds to show us all the timelines, etc., there. I'm waiting for the phone call telling me that he raised his hand during Mass to ask the question because he just isn't listening to his parents and family...

This guy is pretty interesting. I showed his tapes to my class when I taught 7-8 grade at a Christian school. I don't know that I totally agree, but he brings some really good information to light, and also it lead to really great conversations with my class.

He's already developing his critical thinking skills.

I see a great career in his future if you all continue to nurture his desire to learn and ask questions.
