Adam And Eve & Offspring Would Not Have Survived - T-Rex And Velociraptors Would Have Eaten Them

The biblical nonsense will assure that the US is left behind by the rest of the world. The bill in Colorado will not likely go anywhere because Dems control both houses.

All the GOP is doing here is putting up bait legislation to use in future campaign ads.

folks in depth ... and they are truly delusional.

And if you do hit them with a question, or some bit of logic that they can't "force fit" immediately, they immediately go off to the preacher to get the correct response.

For fun, when they say "I'll have to ask my preacher about that ... " I say ... "but shouldn't you be able to open the bible and just show me the answer?"

They hate that.

if there is no death. I hear the flies etc got really thick in those days. That is probably why Eve listened to the snake, the flies were driving her crazy and she was willing to try anything to make them start dying off.

Not kidding.

Noah took dino eggs on the Ark ... eggs are smaller, you don't need to feed them, and eggs don't leave giant poop piles to clean up.

See how easy that is!!

There was no higher ground. That's why you need the Ark. God is getting rid of all living things that are NOT in the Ark.

If there was "higher ground" Noah could just sail there, and then .... oh never mind ...

introduced horribleness to the world and the lamb no longer laid down with the lion.

Now, since there was no death in the world before The Fall one might wonder why T-Rex has a mouth full of knives suited to only eating meat.

But that's no mystery... T Rex developed sharper teeth to adapt to the post fall environment through some cumulative process of the genetic retention of small adaptive changes.

And we call that process... God!!!

not the fearsome, all-hungry predator Hollywood likes to portray it as. However, your point is most definitely valid. Humans would not have survived long in the time of the dinosaurs, especially with primitive technology.
