What really happened to the dinosaurs? And how come the Bible doesn't mention dinosaurs? (A satirical discussion thread from deep inside the Underground mental asylum - DISCLAIMER: consult with your shrink before reading and post at your own risk!)

It seems legit. to me, I mean, in regards to what the Bible says."
The 'paradise' seems similar to the concept of the Elysian Fields, an 'after-world' of the Greeks, which is in line with the concept of Hades. It is also in line with the area/time that the OT was written.
Also found this, which is nicely neutral, without being snotty toward one side of the faith, or the other (refreshing, really):

And now back to your regularly scheduled dino convo... (Sorry for the deviation, here, James...)

Just out of curiosity, did you ever see Eric the Viking?

Great example of the Old Gods (and, as a bonus, what happened to Atlantis).
Fay wrote: "God didn't want to kill everyone, He just had to. It was all man's fault."I still don't understand WHY he had to. Who told him he had to? Why didn't he use his Command Voice and say "ENOUGH! Sit down, and shut up, and for the sake of my sanity, BEHAVE!"
Lol - Or something like that. Or is that what happened to the dinosaurs? They didn't behave, he wiped them out, was all "Oopsie...", made man, and realized it was all happening all over again....
Noticing that these flood stories involve alot of kicking, dogs, and a pissed off god who don't want anyone lighting a fire or cooking anything.Besides the usual elements of the story, of course.
Thanks to whomever posted the link. I hadn't heard many of these before! (http://genesis.uag.mx/posgrado/revist...)

Erma "aka Ms Just Sayin'" You must be now insane having read this entire discussion thread!!!

Could it possibly be that dinosaurs were EATEN? KFC, anyone?Interesting side note, while digging in a midden heap at Ghost Ranch, NM, my greatest finds were a few broken stone cutting tools, and *lots* of bird bones, leading us all to nickname my grid 'KFC'.
:) Good times, good times.
Edit: Forgot to add the link that precluded this thought train...

I think the dino fast food idea has merit.ETs came from all over the universe to devour them

;) As you have probably already noticed in other threads, I am a bit over-opinionated! This is just fodder for my mind!

Ah, but what of Fred Flintstone and the drive-ins of yore? lol
I like your opinionated ways, Erma, they're obviously thoughtful opinions.Just sayin ;)
Well, to tie this "discussion" (or is it a series of rants from a bunch of fruitloops?) in with the current death penalty poll that's running...Has anyone considered the ETs gave all the dinos the electric chair for being murderers of other animals or other dinos?
James Morcan wrote: "Well, to tie this "discussion" (or is it a series of rants from a bunch of fruitloops?) in with the current death penalty poll that's running...Has anyone considered the ETs gave all the dinos the ..."Considered, yes. Likely, no.
They would have deemed the dinosaurs unfit to stand trial, due to insufficient mental capacity.
Besides, it wouldn't have been 'compassionate' enough! ;p
Erma wrote: "Besides, it wouldn't have been 'compassionate' enough! ;p ..."Yeah, I know EXACTLY what you mean...
There would've been dino rights campaigners saying we need to show love to the dinos even tho those beasts were psychopathic serial killing monsters!
Just sayin' (the truth)

I don't know. I have absolutely no clue why God decided to use that method of renewing the earth.
Oh no! I stole James' big finale thing for the 1000th comment!Didn't he already though?
Fay wrote: "I don't know. I have absolutely no clue why God decided to use that method of renewing the earth. ..."Maybe it's a bunch of baloney? :)
I believe in a God, but that God mentioned in the Old Testament is psychopathic at times!!
Fay wrote: "Oh no! I stole James' big finale thing for the 1000th comment!Didn't he already though?"
My brain has become extinct by now...like the dinos...So I'm not sure what I could come up with...
Hopefully by post 10,000 in the year 2037, a new answer will be received...some Undergrounders will literally be underground by that point (aka dead!) others will be in rest homes, will the majority will remain in mental asylums around the world :)

Aha!

Of course I've wondered.
I just can't hack into God's mind though and unravel the deep questions of life. Sometimes wish I could.
Fay wrote: "I just can't hack into God's mind though and unravel the deep questions of life. Sometimes wish I could."Well, I don't know the deep questions themselves, but I do know the answer to life... the universe... and everything in it.
Just sayin'.

I'm sorry, I don't think I understood your sarcasm?
No sarcasm! At least, I don't think it is. More, tongue in cheek. No, the answer to life, the universe, and everything in it can be found in The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
(view spoiler)
I live with this knowledge, and it comforts me.
BBC did a really good mini-series version ages ago, and is much higher recommended than the Zooey Deschanel version. And it's narrated and explains it all!

Erma wrote: "It's okay. :) Not everyone does. I think that's the point, though!"Not everyone gets why a supposedly loving and merciful God would want to wipe out all of humanity with a flood either, so don't worry.
Time to find a new fairer version of God I say ;)
What if the dinosaurs were relocated after 'fertilizing' the ground here to another location by other life forms for terra-forming? Only the ones that had died while they were here provide the limited bones and fossils that we find today. The rest were simply whisked away to fertilize another planet...

:D Interesting! I like it.
As this thread seems to be providing answers on every and any topic, I just have a small additional question to infuse into the mix...Nothing major, not a biggie, just a little question I hope someone can provide me with the right answer...What is the meaning of life?
James Morcan wrote: "As this thread seems to be providing answers on every and any topic, I just have a small additional question to infuse into the mix...Nothing major, not a biggie, just a little question I hope some..."Is the meaning of life to realise that only humans attach meaning to things?
Harry wrote: "Is the meaning of life to realise that only humans attach meaning to things? ..."Could be, but how do we know the dinos weren't wondering what the meaning of life was?
James Morcan wrote: "Harry wrote: "Is the meaning of life to realise that only humans attach meaning to things? ..."Could be, but how do we know the dinos weren't wondering what the meaning of life was?"
Maybe the dinos actually worked out what the meaning of life was, and therefore promptly became extinct as there was nothing left for them to ponder upon. They died from boredom.
Yeah, maybe once the meaning of life is discovered, you teleport out of this realm.And on that note, has anyone in this discussion mentioned the idea that someone teleported the dinos to another planet??
Dinosaurs from Mars?(There's gotta be a B-movie called that.)
Haha! When I clicked on that link, I laughed so much that I gave a snort - thankfully I'm alone, so no one heard.Where did you find that Lisa? It sounds like a sarcastic post from James Morcan in this thread.
haha!! providing entertainment is always a pleasure! random google searches often lead to one thing that leads to another...this one was pure accident. ..or was it? in reality it evolved...
I'd never resort to sarcasm, mate.
James Morcan wrote: "I'd never resort to sarcasm, mate."Sarky.
I find it interesting how here in America 'sarcasm' is used for when you say one thing, but mean the opposite. But in Norwegian it is 'irony' that is used when saying one thing but, mean the opposite.
Yeah, I'm kind of thinking that maybe the dinosaurs actually did figure out the meaning of life and since the answer was so shocking and monumental they all just died of shock...

Yes, I do think the sarcasm in it all is quite ironic....like a black fly on my chardonnay...
To give Alanis some credit (before I start sarcastically quoting more damn lyrics), she did play God very well in the film Dogma. :)
