"Genesis is so much fun. You get to read how God made the Earth in seven days. But I wonder, like, about the dinosaurs. I don't get it. God made part of the earth on the first day, so maybe that's when the dinosaurs lived ..."

Honey, it was written by Bronze Age goat herders. Any meaning in the Genesis story is purely allegorical.
@ Ozymandias: My thoughts exactly.
There are other creation myths that are a lot more fun, like the one in which a lonely deity masturbated the world into existence, and are every bit as true as Genesis (i.e., not at all). Also, the priests of some other religions covered their tracks better and didn't include two mutually contradictory stories back to back.
Fuck! This is why people who have no idea what they're talking about, SHOULDN'T TALK!
Shut up and just play tennis until you learn some science. THEN we'll listen to you.
"If you have to ask, you'll never know."
A phrase my friends used on me when I used to ask dumb questions.
I'm amazed that no one has yet pointed out that, according to the Wholly Babble, the Big Sky Fairy made the Earth in SIX days.
Serena, stay the fuck out of my country unless you can confine your activities to playing tennis.
So god made the dinosaurs for one day and then killed them off?
I want to say something, but........ this is one of the more rational things I've read on this board.....
Thats so scary
Why do they keep saying 'seven days' when God created the Earth is six days according to the Creation Myth? The Creation Myth the Jews did not consider to be a literal depiction, but rather just that, a myth?
This is the result of church and media teaching kids to worship rock stars and football players, and not doctors and scientists. It's not cool to be smart, but cool to be a smartass (and sadly, hip 2b square).
Keep asking questions Serena!
The bimbo claims "Genesis is so much fun," but it's evident she never read it. According to chapter one, which tells specifically what was accomplished on each of the six days of creation, the first day was devoted to separating the light from the darkness. Chapter two does not provide a day-by-day breakout, but it contradicts the order of what was done in chapter one. In chapter two, God makes a man first, then the other animals, and then a woman. Unless Adam and Eve were actually dinosaurs or humans predated dinos, I don't think Serena's theory could work.
If the "six days" corresponded to historical epochs, the dinosaurs probably lived and died during the 4th "day". Or maybe the 5th. But g0d's "inspired" scribe got the sequence wrong...like, what do you expect from bronze-age Bedouins?
Game, set, and match to the ToE.
EDIT: Crap, Approximate thought of one before me.
No, no. Genesis is completely wrong.
See, in the beginning there was nothing...then Chuck Norris roundhouse-kicked that nothing in the face and said "Get a job". That is the story of the universe.
(Obligatory Chuck Norris joke. I couldn't help myself.)
I think she just invented the Quadruple Fault.
Genesis is not fun, God didn't make the earth in seven (or even six) days, God did fuckall on the first day or on any other day, and dinosaurs were around for a shade longer than 24 hours.
Stick to tennis, darlin'. (I hope her sister is a bit brighter than this, it would be hard not to be.)
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
