Do really strict Catholics not believe in dinosaurs?
>>69966221
They don't believe in anything, but the need to suck Protestant's dick.
>>69966221
its not about strictness, its about retardation. some do but only because they fell for the fundamentalist meme propagated by protestants. a reasonable christian understands things as 'le six days' meme as in 'six ages', aka the bible is the word of god translated through the flawed hands and minds of man
catholics historically made a lot of scientific discovery too, along with some protestants etc
>>69966221
No.
The Catholic Church officially accepted evolution more than half a century ago. The Pope has expressed admiration for the Tyrannosaurus Rex and admitted to beign a 'dinosaur' when it comes to computers.
So no, Catholics have many forms of obligatory brain damage, but this is not one of them.
You may now thank me for doing your research for you.
>>69966221
Ultra orthodox either don't believe they did or that they did co-exist with humans sometime before the flood and Noah.
Others who interpret it more liberally thing the 6 days is a metaphor or they meant ages instead of days.
Most often thing I see cited is the behemoth god shows Job in the book of Job as being a dinosaur.
>>69966221
You mean Christians. Ive met non Catholics that believe the worlds only 6,000 years old.
>>69966221
Creationism is a retarded Protestant construct. Strict Catholics should see no problem with Evolution.
See: Theistic evolution.
>>69966654
If six days really means six ages why don't they just fucking change it
>>69967110
>open to interpretation
Are creationists typically Catholic or Protestant?
>>69966221
Ex-Catholic, current ayytheist here
No Catholic denies dinosaurs unless they have been hanging out with particularly retarded Protestants
>>69966923
Ultra orthodox Catholics are not fundamentalist Protestants
>>69967110
because fundamentalists are profitable for certain groups and churches tend to be large social structures that exist in the real world, which means they require funds
>>69967217
So its usually Protestants who are creationists?
>>69967110
Because otherwise the 7 days of a week sunday for worship meme wouldn't make sense.
>>69967276
definitely; catholicism is more of a cultural meme than a strict order
>>69966608
*Muslim's foot
>>69966221
We do, our bible actually has more references to dinosaurs then the protestants. (Daniel)
>>69967216
Protestant.
I'll admit its been a long, long time since I've read the Bible but I'm pretty sure none of these things are mentioned in Genesis.
>>69967385
I thought they cut Bel and the Dragon from Daniel?
>>69967518
That's fucking interesting.
We, fucked velociraptors?
Do people really think God wrote the Bible? I mean I know the Bible is supposed to be the word of God but he didn't actually write it.
>>69967276
Protestants are the ones who are in to literal interpretations of the bible
Catholics are okay with Genesis being mostly metaphorical

>'le six days' meme as in 'six ages'
this, there wasnt even a sun in some of those "days"
clearly didnt mean 144 hours
>>69967672
Only athiests think thet christians think that. Most ayythiests dont even know the difference between a catholic and a christian
>>69966654
>Fell for the fundamentalist meme
Like all the Catholics before us. =^)
>6 ages
No Scholar of Hebrew will allow that translation.
Also: Ex 20:10
And an other thing, if it's ages, not days, you have really big problems. (For example the sun being made after the plants.)
>>69966905
>accepted evolution.
No, some popes have spoken positive about it. But then again some popes strangled people in confession.
>>69967097
>no problem with Evolution.
Dead before sin is a major heresy.
Also: "I am the immaculate conception." as Mary put it in Lourdes, some years before Darwins book came out. But that'd be too much to get into now.
>>69967110
Because the age's lie is a modernist interpretation going against both sound Hebrew & tradition.
>>69967518
Protestants cut the dragon out of the book Daniel, yea.
>>69967672
>Do people really think God wrote the Bible?
>He didn't actually write it.
He did by inspiration.
(I gtg to work soon, so if you anyone wants to reply, quickly please.)
>>69967884
Clearly protestants do because they run creationist "museums"
>>69967276
the big bang theory was put forth by a catholic priest who worked at the vatican's astronomical observatory.
>>69967884
Which is why I asked. Because in this pic it says 40 authors and God's word but it doesn't say God wrote the Bible.
>>69968080
oh ffs 4chan

2 Timothy 3:16
"All Scripture is inspired by God"
But you're thinking too much like a protestant, the Scripture actually derives its authority from the HRCC, that in turn got its authority from Jesus.
>>69968122
No no. I just find it all fascinating. I'm an athiest (uhggg), but I have read the entire "desert trilogy" because they're an important part of history whether you believe them or not. I just find creationists particularly interesting because they're so determined and stubborn with their beliefs.
>>69967985
>No Scholar of Hebrew will allow that translation
of course they wouldnt
wonder what patriarch kirill thinks
>>69967672
>Using the Bible as your starting point
great idea
>>69966221
Catholics are very pro science, so the stricter they are, the more they would believe in dinosaurs.
>>69968219
That's fine but "inspired by" isn't the same as "created by".
If I paint a painting and I was inspired by Michelangelo that doesn't mean that Michelangelo painted it.
Or maybe I'm just taking all this too literally.
>>69968246

Mad respect. I tried reading the Quabab but only got through approx %20 of it

True! http://kolbecenter.org/
Enjoy, many creationists actually use there work. Deus Vult.
>>69968360
Well, if you read the bible you'll see that the holy spirit came over the prophets, etc, so it's more like Michelangelo directed it to use your example.
>>69968470
Like I said earlier its been a very long time since I've read the Bible so I'll avoid getting too far in to things I don't have a clear understanding of.
>>69968246
>that pic
it would have spared us all a lot of debate if whoever the hell wrote genesis had bothered to include that little detail. a single sentence would have served "then god shrank all the animals to fit into the ark" or some such.
>>69968682
Maybe they weren't anticipating it being a best seller?

>>69968246
I thought after the flood, the only remaining humans on earth were Noah and his family. Isn't every human alive the incestual offspring of these survivors, and if so, is this pic suggesting God quickly turned humans into separate races as they spread across the earth?
>>69967985

The literal interpretation of the first chapters of genesis was put into question by St Augustine.
>>69968873
>The image board model doesn't reward good content
You don't say
>>69968470
Looks like the Kolbe people are doing science.
You just don't like it because they don't mindlessly follow your orthodoxy. Your mind is clouded by your hatred of religion. You're no man of science, you are a bigot.
>>69969141

...uh
>>69969011
that last bit is retarded. people all over the world find fossils of dinosaurs and call them dragons, yes, or at least that is how we translate whatever they call them into english, but the stories only generally agree on dragons being giant lizard like animals. in china they have no wings but can fly and cause rain and mainly live in rivers. in other places they have no wings and cannot fly but breathe fire. in other places they can fly, breathe fire, talk, horde wealth for no real reason, and kidnap maidens cuz why not?
>>69967672
You have no idea how deep this rabbit hole goes, mate.
>>69969291
I find it interesting that they choose to cite a fictional poem as proof of Dinosaurs.
>>69967672

Sorry, let me try again.
If /pol/ is to be believed, there's a few distinct human races. Well, if the flood killed everybody except Noah (which was the point), then we should all be his descendants, right? Then where the fuck do blacks and asians and whites come from? Where does the genetic variation come from since all that's left is inbreeding with family members?
Does any Christian have a reasonable answer to this? Because the only answer seems to be this picture in >>69968246 saying God quickly changed humans into their distinct races.
>>69969438
>>69969622
*proof of dinosaurs/dragons living with people
Well you knew what I meant at least.

Catholics aren't in opposition to science, we believe they serve different purposes.
That's creationists
>>69969689
is this why mormons think niggers are the sons of cain? because cain was made immortal by god himself way before the flood. so he would have still been out there somewhere too.

>>69970263
Well the Triassic period was only 200 million years ago so you're probably right.

The Earth isn't that old so it's impossible for a dinosaur to have existed even a million years ago.

>>69970520

>>69969780
Yeah, but this is a more general question to Christians that doesn't involve the YEC model. Don't most Christians believe the flood really happened and everybody but Noah's family was obliterated? Then somehow all the different races right now on the planet came about through incest, which doesn't seem possible.
If the flood is a real thing, then how long ago did it happen? Ten thousand years before recorded history? A million?

>>69970648
there have been various mega floods in real history in ages past. about ten thousand years ago as the ice age ended a giant glacial damn in the northwest US broke and a giant inland sea flooded though, carving out the columbia river gorge. the black sea experienced a similar flood that dramatically raised it's level and expanded its banks. many places that were once above sea level are now underwater. most of those places had it occur gradually but it could have passed down in cultural memory as a figurative flood.
>>69966221
>>69966221
Yes, the church fully acknowledges evolution and interprets genesis as allegorical. It's as usual protestants who are cunts about it.
>>69971319
also, the formation of the Rockies is insanely interesting - just adding that because I find that shit fascinating
>>69971417
Evolution is a Liberal Jewish lie designed so that we lose faith in God and take part in degenerate activities.
I went to seminary school and was on the path to priesthood until I found reason in my life.
catholics believe in evolution. period.

Dimetrodon... isn't a dinosaur.

That's right. It's a marsupial.

"Dinosaur" bones are actually from the demonic angels that fell to earth with Satan.
>>69972813
Are you retarded or just a dumb ass? Dinosaurs were animals who died in the flood.

On a serious note, I know religion is not able to be proven, but there is a staggering amount of evidence for evolution and it shouldn't be ruled out out of utter denial.
My personal belief was that if God existed and created everything on the Earth, that it was done billions of years ago and that he left it to its own devices to evolve with small interventions here and there. This included other worlds in our universe as well.
