Any Christians out there?

[Hopkirk]

How do you explain dinosaurs?

Was God just practicing, or did he make a mistake?

[Canary42]

Both

[craft1948]

Why was there a design fault?

[Hopkirk]

Yes Craft, they weren't meteorite proof.

[jno]

I guess a Christian would say God invented dinosaur son the third day (or whichever it was). No special reason why it should be practice, or a mistake either, just because they died out. Making dodos wasn't a mistake, it's just that humans killed them all.

Making mosquitoes, that was a mistake.

[Hopkirk]

.... and wasps

[jno]

they weren't hit by meteorites as such, they apparently suffered from meteorite-induced climate change. We may do the same some day. If no meteorite turns up to do it, we may have to change the climate ourselves.

And snakes and spiders.

[askyourgran]

And fleas and nits.

[jno]

well, it depends on how you look at it. It may turn out on Judgment Day that we were in fact created by the Wasp God to give his chosen people something to play with.

[Hopkirk]

Hang on God doesn't make mistakes.

[what..the?]

t rex arms def mis calculation

[Buenchico]

Hmmm.

The dinosaurs did rather well for around 165 million years. Man has been around for (very roughly) for ¼ million years, during which he's done a great deal towards his own self-destruction and (despite the advances of evolution) still has his most sensitive parts hanging outside his body, where they're prone to injury.

So which one was the mistake?

[sara3]

and that Delroy Grant bloke. whopping mistake.

[Hopkirk]

Where are the Christians then, have they all gone to bed?

[sara3]

maybe they're at bible classes.

[starone]

No - wrong day.

[jno]

Chris, women don't have their most sensitive parts hanging around outside; perhaps we are evolving one sex at a time.

[askyourgran]

I am a Christian but I don't go to church very often. According to some people for the purpose of the Census (this weekend) you are supposed to be churchgoing to call yourself religious. Load of codswallop.

[what..the?]

no there all out getting high and having tats done

[starone]

If - and I say if - we are a mistake, doesn't look as if we are going to be allowed to hang on very long does it. Sad really. We had such promise.
