Freedom of religion means you can believe in dinosaurs if you want.

Ooooooh. Casting that whole 'science' thing as a competing religion? That's so novel! I never saw that before.
I'd say, rather, that freedom of religion means i cannot FORCE you to accept dinosaurs (and evolution, and the age of the earth, and the size of the galaxy) if your superstition precludes it. But it does not mean _I_ have to give your occult leanings any credence, either.
The Natural History Museum here in Britain.
You can belie ve London doesn't exist if you want to, but where would that leave your 'God' re. that KJV of yours, OP...?!
The Church of England. Westminster Abbey. The General Synod. King James I.
Oh, so what were all those bones they dug up, then? It’s not like dragons, which are mythical, but similar to crocodiles, alligators and snakes. However nobody’s ever dug one of those up, so there you go.
No, it’s Adam and Eve who were mythical.
So if I were to club you down with a brontosaurus’ jawbone you would not be able to claim I am assaulting you because I am only imagining the fossil and you are only imagining the blunt force trauma? Care to test that scientifically? Or does something that has been verified as physically existing give me too drastic an advantage compared to you believing real hard that it doesn’t even though you just asserted those are equivalent? Disbelief in the jawbone doesn’t affect the jawbone in any way. Belief doesn’t factor into science, proof does. If you believe something without proof that is by definition not scientific. Disbelieving something that does have proof on the other hand is by definition willful stupidity.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
