I once heard a creationist explain his theory that dinosaurs were really giant size lizards and other reptiles. He said that that because of the climate of the "pre-flood" world, things lived longer. Because reptiles keep growing their whole life, and would live many years, they would be gigantic, thus what we call dinosaurs. After the flood the climate changed, and things did not live as long. And just a thought on the dinosaurs mentioned in Job: didn't he live before the flood? (I'm not sure about that, but I think Job is the oldest book in the Bible)

1 Your creationist friend didn't have a theory, a theory is science based upon evidence.
2 There wasn't a pre flood climate as there was no flood. Moreover the pre flood conditions fundies made up would not cause animals to live longer.
3 Job lived AFTER the flood, please read your fucking bible before you cite it as a source of wisdom.
Durane Job was the first book written down. Genesis has a long oral history but was ironically one of the last books of the bible to be written down.
Job? You've got to be fucking kidding. I'm not a Bible expert, but I'm almost 99.9% sure that even people believe in the Bible acknowledge that Job is a work of fiction and was never intended to be interpreted as anything else.
It's a fucking parable , and a pretty fucking obvious one at that. Unless, of course, you're stupid enough to think that the author somehow managed to eavesdrop on a conversation God and Satan in Heaven.
And, I dunno, maybe fundies really are that stupid.
Yeah, I've heard of that line of bullshit too. Only thing is, I'm not so gullible as to believe every stupid-assed thing to come down the pike.
ANd the Job thing? You propose to tell someone about the bible with your story that far off? Good luck with that.
Okay, now I'll say this slowly so the fundtarded out there can understand.
Dinosaurs... aren't... just... big... lizards!
Dinosaurs have an erect ("improved" in the jargon) posture, before the dinosaurs (and in all modern large lizards) the posture was semi-erect ("semi-improved") like a crocodiles. Nearly all small lizards then and now had a sprawling posture and moved by bending their bodies. So when we look at dinosaur skeletons we can see they are not just big lizards.

I know this doesn't stop Randy, but you should really read the book that you base your whole belief system on before trying to make statements on what it says. It does show however, that Randy & Co. are more about listening to what He and his like say rather than what the book says. That's why you kids are so screwed up.
Job? You've got to be fucking kidding. I'm not a Bible expert, but I'm almost 99.9% sure that even people believe in the Bible acknowledge that Job is a work of fiction and was never intended to be interpreted as anything else.
It's a fucking awful parable, to boot. The gist of it, if I recall correctly, is "Keep worshipping god, even if he arbritarily treats you like shit, because if you don't then he'll treat you even worse". Sounds like a playground-bully scenario to me.
Job is older than Genesis?
You ought to listen to real scientist explaining things instead, dearie. Children believe in fairy-tales, adults accept reality.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
