question for our religious friends, how if in any way does the existence of dinosaurs 65 million years ago influence your religious beliefs?

that is, how do you reconcile the necessity of such creatures existing millions of years ago with religious scripture that typically makes no mention of them?

what is your local religious leader's approach the topic of dinosaurs and religion?

It influences them zero. Dinosaurs aren't in the Bible for the same reason Buddha isn't. How were the people supposed to know about them? The Bible isn't a book about all history, science, etc. As for my local pastor, I'm sure he's a big fan of evolution.

Now, calmly take off your fedora and step away from the keyboard.

I was watching the film Noah and it even had an Evolution montage, so i think Religious people are adopting it as truth, because it doesn't really conflict with the idea that God influenced those animals to help adapt them, much of Science can really be adapted into Religion - understanding stuff doesn't disprove God, just that Man's idea of reality cannot be explained through the Bible.

Allah mentioned in the Quran, that "HE does create what we don't know."

"Allah mentioned that Earth has Humans, Jinns, Angels, and "Dabba"<--- in Arabic it means Animals / Animals that walks/crawls the earth."

So I believe they existed.

Intelligent design

...this just might be the worst thread ever created by a PaRD regular .

you should believe they existed because it's proven..

Proof are in the fossils, the book says that he creates things that we do not know that walked/crawled the earth, i.e. the dinosaurs.
